Can I use it for the gym? is it water/sweat resistant? will it stay in my ears during the workout?

They probably won't be a very good choice for wear while you're in the gym. As for moisture I can only tell you my experience. I wear them onstage and during a show I sweat buckets. I normally take them out between sets and dry them off but I have never had them stop working. I assume that sweat is OK but I won't guarantee it. They stay in my ears just fine but for a workout, I don't know. Maybe.

Sure they will stay in your ear with exercise. Just make sure you get the cables around eac ear properly. They are most definately water resistant. You won't go wrong with these great ear buds.

I use the foam ear tips and never had any issues with them at all. I wear them when I cut the grass because I can listen to music and I don't have to listen to the roar of the mower. I have no idea what kind of work out you are doing but I never had any issues with my set at all.

I can't speak to whether or not they're water or sweat resistant, but they're the most secure ear buds i've ever owned. Shouldn't fall out if you put them in right.

I rode my bike with these for about 3 weeks before they completely failed. I ride ~200 miles / week. Amazon wouldn't take them back after receiving them (they were clean, just broken), they also didn't return them. I know this question is a few years old, just providing more info for folks looking to buy.

Yes for me jogging I find them pretty well to stay in place and not fall out sweat resistance well I know they work well after work out after work out ,good choice

I use mine primarily under a helmet while riding one of my motorcycles and they stay in the ear prety well. Of course you have to insert them properly and have them seal in your ears. As for the sweat while working out. I guess that depends on how much you sweat in your ears. But I am sure they will take a moderate amount sweating.Hopes this helps.Rick G

I have used them at the gym with little to no trouble at all. If you have a good 'ear-fit', by determining which insert fits best, you should have no problem. I use the foam inserts and they work best for me. The way the entire IEM fits IN your ear and with the cables going over the backs of your ears, they are not as likely to be pulled out of your ears as standard ear buds. I love mine for Gym, running on treadmill, or relaxing on the couch. Also excellent noise rejection.

Just keep in mind that these are not sweat resistance and they might create excess heat around your ears when working out. I know the sweat can deteriorate the fake leather around the earcups and, if one of the drivers gets wet (or even the left earcup "b" button), they'll get ruined. You may want to look at sweat resistant earbuds instead, something like the Powerbeats or Bose SIE2 earbuds.

they may be too lose to use at the gym depending on how tightly they fit on your head. in my case i use them at home or when commuting. in the summer they feel like ear warmers! so I dont think it would be a good idea to use them at the gym. I recommend using sony headphones that go in the ear for gym purposes. I currently use: Sony MDREX58V/VLT In-Ear Headphones when I go to the gym : )

I haven't tried using them yet at the gym. They seem like they would work awesome though, because I rest the frame right above my ears and they stay in place very well. I would not be able to answer as far as the sweat issue.

Yes. My workout lasts between 30 to 50 mins, and is quite sweaty. The ears get a little hot but not uncomfortably, but they keep the sweat out from the inside of my ears and the sound is very good quality. I bought these for working out, and I have not been disappointed. Only issue is if you get a call during the workout and there is a lot of noise around you, the one calling may hear the sounds around you - they are not noise cancelling.

It can, but buds might be better for working out instead of over-ear. Sweat and all you know.

I doubt they are water resistant. Have worn them at the gym and didn't notice any issues. The transducers are a rubber like substance and should be pretty impervious. I'd imagine the inline switch would be a weak point. I mostly use them at the office and at job sites to keep my ears free (or with ear plugs) and still hear podcasts, music or telephone conversations.At the gym I've a pair of earbuds, JayBird BBX1MB BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Sorry for such a late response. I'm just now coming across this. If you've already made another purchase I hope you're happy with it. If not, I would recommend any in ear headphone if the humidity issue is due to sweat. Personally I've been experiencing with bluetooth headsets "in ear" for working out. Haven't found one to recommend so far. Hope this helps.

According to their site, it is water resistant and can be submerged up to 10 meters. I wear mine all the time, even in the shower, but I'd be hesitant to use it if I was in water most of the day. Maybe others have more experience with that...

its not wireless so i dont recommend if u use it only for gym purpose. But if you are used with using Wired headphones in gym, you can go for it.

Yes you can, I love it, I wear it while working out at gym. You will love it , just press a button on side of headset and connect once you have paired it.

The outer covering of the wires are great, they're water resistant and easy to tangle. I've used them for workouts and they've been fine. They don't fall out because the headphones come with 3 different sized earbuds; so u can pick whichever one fits ur ear best.

This is not suitable for gym because it drops quickly while running. S2 is made by metal so it is heavy to carry. For gym, you should prefer in ears like having extra plastic holder. Bose is good for gym and some sennheiser models are also OK

It stays on pretty good. I do not use it for the gym though. I wear them at work for pretty much 8 hours straight. To help you out though, i did just bend down a couple of and jumped in place, they stayed pretty good. they would stay better if that were bigger. Yes they are listed as over the ear but unless you have tiny ears, they are more like on-ear. But for what i use them for: range 5 stars comfy 5 stars sound 4.5 stars . Lets be real, they are $40 bluetooth headphones. lol

Good question!I've never had any problems with sweat causing any malfunction.I live in the tropics of Australia, hence I'm sweaty most of the time.So I would say the headphone is water proof.Hugh

I can't compare it to the R6i because I have no reference to that model, but I can tell you that I don't like using S4i while working out because they do slip out and won't stay in my ears. The water resistants I have no idea. I've never gotten mine wet. The sound to my opinion is great.
