how sweat proof are these headphones?

I have been exercising outside in 80-95 degree Farenheit weather and have had no problems, but the humitiy is low where I live.

The headphones are great and handle sweat, in terms of ruggedness (I haven't broken them so far... and I sweat a lot - 6 mile runs). In terms of usability, if sweat gets in between the headphones and the air seal you create with your ear, then you have to pull off the rubber cover and blow the moisture out of the tube (takes 30 seconds or less), otherwise the sound will be muffled. These are the best "cheap" workout headphones I have found. The next step up would be Zennheiser PMX 70. They are twice as expensive.

My son wears his headphones when he works out. Sweating doesn't seem to affect the performance.

I used them just the other day on a run. Right one stayed in snug and the left pulled out just a smidge. Needs a slight adjustment and another ear cleaning :) if you have the plugs in with no tunes, you can hear yourself breathing... Weird but cool. I did put a quick knuckle to my inner ear... Pushed it back in, an I was good to go. Don't think sweat was an issue... But a little ear wax was - easily fixed. By far the best buds I have ever used; amazing sound!

These are horrible for sweat. The upward facing stem, and over-the-ear wire, become a channel for sweat to drip right into your ears.

They Are Horrible. Try Another Brand Because These Suck All The Way Around.

I can certify that they are water resistant. Not sure about water proof. They have been in my boat for 3 years and never failed. I put another pair in last year. I won't buy anything else. Great deal, great sound.

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 haven't really sweat a lot in them. The foam is pretty thin, so I'm a bit worried about how long they'll last in general, but they're replaceable, so probably not a big deal. Sound is good, unless you require monster bass.

I haven't worn them for running but with the foam tips they really stay put. You can also wear them over your ears for a more secure fit. That being said these are not specifically designed for exercising so I don't know how they handle sweat. They sound fantastic though so I'd say it's worth a try.

Kevin. I use this for working out and I honestly can't think of better headphones. Now I am a fit guy but sweat like a beast. I play soccer with them on and they never ever come off. Sounds quality is a solid 8-9 out of 10. Comfort is 9. But the fact that they never fall out specially for guys that sweat makes these a must buy By the way I have used Bose and beats. Sound is highly comparable to Bose and same as beat

no they are not, not even a little. I think if they were in-ear they would be a little but they sit comfortably outside. But they sound just fine except mine failed after 3 months from excess sweat which they are suppose to be immune to it. I can not recommend them due to that.

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.

Yes, they are very comfortable for running, and there is very little risk of it slipping off of your ears. The best part is...there is a lifetime warranty from sweat!

I use them when I workout, but when I run with them and sweat, sweat does get in them and I occasionally have to wipe the sweat off, but I haven't had a problem with them not working at the time, if anything just needed to remove the sweat.

They're sweat proof enough in that I've never had a problem with mine due to them getting wet at the gym... I don't use the little foam covers for the ear buds though.

Depends on the type of exercise. Treadmill, elliptical and such, yes. If you sweat lots (or perspire much) , then I'd suggest wearing a headband or bandana to absorb the moisture from the cushioned earphones.

No, they are just like wearing any other normal headphone. They are an electrically operated and not water proof.

Suitable, but if you're a heavy sweater, like when running long distance, these are vulnerable to the sweat. They will short out and won't work again. So either you have to meticulously wipe your head of sweat, or run the risk of killing them. I've not found a better unit overall for over the ear headsets to work out in. So I always treat the earpads with scotch guard to help make them more moisture resistant.

I go to the gym an average of 9 hours a week and literally sweat badly for 3/4 of that time. People make fun of me (it's that bad). I wear my headphones every single day. I wipe them down with a paper towel covered in gym disinfectant spray and put them in their bag each night. They are perfect. I got them in November.

I've had no problem with sweat affecting the usb or any other part of the headphones. These headphones have had a four to six month life cycle in my experience, and sweat may be a factor in that. Still for the price, I think that lifespan is pretty acceptable.
