Are these even slightly water resistant (able to be worn while working out heavily)?

I workout (weights) very hard at least 5 days a week and I don't miss a workout wearing my headphones.

They seem to be. I only wear them in the gym and I get pretty sweaty. Of course, I can't vouch for what your experience will be.

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.

Yes, you can. They get sweaty though and will need washing much more frequently than if you just wear them for non-athletic use.

Yes they are very durable and sweat resistant. They sound great although I have no idea how the Yurbuds sound as I now only by these and have 4 pairs. One at work, one in my workout bag, one at home and one in my briefcase when traveling.

They are not waterproof but wick moisture away easily. I took them on a trail after the heavy rains we had here in Colorado and walked through a stream. Continued the trail for another 3 hrs and they were great! I threw them in the washer after I got home and they look brand new. I wouldn't machine wash them too much but they've been champs. :)

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)

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

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.

Sweat resistant? I've seen no problem with them when I work out. I do some pretty intense workouts too. Just don't let them get yanked out of your ear. Had to glue mine back together! Hahaaa

I lift pretty heavy for my weight and sweat profusely. They work well for all my lifting and do not get soaked during my 2 hr lifting/cardio cycle. The wrist support helps a lot for the heavier lifts. Hope this helps.

I think they call them "water resistant", but unless you are going scuba diving with these they will be what you need. Trudged through several miles of deep snow post holing all the way and the layers under the gaiter were still dry.

No, unfortunately, due, I think to you skins moisture; but if you apply them well they last all day and I have even gone swimming in them. One time I slept in them and was able to continue wearing them the next day. Of course I had just bathed and was clean but had a morning occasion where I needed them again, so that was amazing to me. In other words they are pretty durable and lasting.

I have not personally used them while swimming but they are rated as waterproof, so yes.

they seem to be sweat resistant, but they're nothing special. they seem to slip out of ears - so I sometimes wrap wire around ear to better secure.

Yes they are. I have worn this through some very tough, heavy rainstorms without any leaks at all. So far, so good!

Vania, they are sweat resistant. I haven't found any that are sweat proof. These are working out real well for me.
