Sweating has not interfered with my set, but I wouldn't call them "waterproof".

I do not swim with mine. only use them while jogging or water aerobics in the pool. Water resistant, yes. Water proof, No.

I don't know about rain-proof or water-proof, but I believe they are fairly sweat proof. I don't think you could swim with them on, but I haven't had any problems working out with them on, and I have in the past with a different pair of headphones. At the tip of the speaker, which is the farthest inserted into the ear, is a little white plastic 'cap' (shaped like an inverted cap) that after awhile can get clogged with earwax, but you can pop the cap out and clean it with a pin (it has little holes in it) and pop it back in. I've done this several times, and haven't lost either cap yet.

Honestly, I would recommend something else for working out. These will trap sweat and feel uncomfortable. Look at the JLab Go Pros- https://www.jlabaudio.com/Products/Waterproof-MP3-Headphones/Go-4GB/495 or one of their in ear headphones, all of which work with their workout clips.

Sometimes I take mine off to shower and sometimes not, yes water can get into these AND the Fitbit bands. Don't delude yourself into thinking the 'brand bands' do not have this issue also because they do. The bands are not waterproof, nor resistant. You have to care for your tracker. The trackers are waterproof, submerged in water up to 10 meters of depth. Thereafter no. If I notice water in mine, I take the tracker out, dry it well and then smoosh tissue up into both chambers to absorb excess water. Then I take a Qtip to both ends to make sure I have all of the water out. I've had mine for four months, LOVE my Fitbit and this works for me.

I wouldnt call them sweat resistant... but I work out in them and they still work fine!!

Yes. I don't recommend them if you're planning to wear them while working out though. The microphone portion is not waterproof and sweat gets into it, causing it to force songs to skip or even try to call people.

Haven't had any problems with sweat on the controls. What I love about them is that they don't let sweat get in the ears which was always a problem with others I used. I use these about 5 to 6 times a week for working out and have not had a problem so if it was an issue, I would have encountered it. Also the clip is worthless to me since the cable slides and then tugs, therefore I don't use it. Can't comment on the armband since I also don't use it.

No. As I understand it, the waterproof ones have been sent to an independent company for waterproofing. I have been wearing my in the pool and it has worked fine. I was told by Nike that the waterproofing invalidates the warranty. I found this out after I received and used mine.

I would say not. But they are sweat resistant. I wear them while working out, and I haven't had a problem. Btw, I ordered comply tsx 400 comfort earphone tips and they make a heck of a difference for proper fitting.

No they won't! Ultimately, that's what killed both pairs that I had. And a comment response from the company stated back to me that they were designed for sport use, but excessive sweat would damage them........and that's what happened. So far, the only headphones to stand the test of time for my excessive running/ sweating has been my apple ear pods.

If you don't sweat a ton, they will be great. If you are someone who does sweat a lot, plan on them going out. Mine stopped working a few days after the month warranty.

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

So sorry for the delay. My husband said that he has not used them around water but he has used them in very hot temperatures where he sweated and that moisture didn't affect them at all.

Yes they do leak a bit especially at very high volume. Also I myself found that wearing them for a few hours while at the gym my ears got hot and sweaty

I second UCLA's response. From it's construction, I definitely don't think it's waterproof, but I haven't had a problem with sweat, even during hour long runs in 85 degree weather.
