How do these perform while running or at the gym? Do they fall out or stay put?

They have something like 7 sets of various-sized replaceable soft rubber inserts for a custom fit.. so unless you're an elephant, you should be able to find a size to fit you perfectly..

Pick the correct size of ends from all the sizes they provide and they will stay put. I use them for running outside and treadmill while training for my half and full marathons. The only time they moved was when I accidentally hit the cord while wiping sweat from my face.

I've used these quite a few times at the gym. I looped the cables over my ears, and had zero problems. I haven't used them at the gym in a while though because they do not isolate sound as well as other earbuds that I have used, namely etymotic er4p and westone 3. If falling out is your only concern, these are fantastic. If sound isolation is also a concern of yours, maybe try looking at a pair of etymotic or shure and use the foam tips.

As long as it's worn over the ear and you have the right size ear cushion, generally any ear bud will stay put. but not all ear buds can be worn over the ear, but, most of the Ultimate Ears ear buds can be. I wear my 500's over the ear all the time even though they aren't advertised to be worn like that, and they are quite comfortable when worn over the ear.

If you loop them over your ear, as they are designed to be worn, they stay put while running on a treadmill.

I may not be the best person to answer this. My ear openings are small and I was never able to get a good fit with the Ultimate Ears, certainly not the kind of block-out-everything tight isolation I like for mowing the lawn. I still use the Logitech earbuds sometimes for stationary activities, but bought some Etymotic MC5 buds for moving around.

Not sure what people are talking about concerning noise isolation... I use them to play along on drums... and I usually have to *turn down* the music a little bit to hear the drums... so isolation is just fine... It's all about the tip size and type... the little squishy foam tips do have better isolation... In fact, I had a cheap set of foam tip earbuds a while back and I had the volume cranked a little bit... (not too much)..and unbeknownst to me... the fire alarm had been going on in my office for several minutes and I was totally unaware until someone stopped by my desk and said "hey dude, we gotta go" while making a gesture pointing to the ceiling... i.e. sound isolation is all about the tips... lol Not sure what people are talking about concerning noise isolation...

I haven't tried them exercising but they should stay in well. The proper way to wear them is you bring the wire up from behind your ear, looping down the front and then the earpiece pushes in. This loop of wire around the ear takes all the weight off the earpiece so it never moves.

I work out with them every day. I wear them while jogging and in the gym. As long as they are inserted in your ear canal, not resting against your ear, they will never fall out. The only potential issue is jogging on public streets. Because they block out almost all external sound, you can't hear vehicles approaching.

I have worn them when I workout- running, elliptical, weights. They stayed up pretty well. I own two pair and only one stocking out of the four had a tendency to slip down.

That is the intent of them. But they had zero effect for me since they still fell out as soon as i started running and never stayed in place for more than a minute or two.

I've tried working out with these before, they tend to fall out depending on how rigorous your exercise is. If you like the brand, then I would suggest getting the A5i Sport. They fit over the back of your ear and are nearly impossible to knock off unless the cord gets jerked. http://www.klipsch.com/image-a5i-sport-headphones

I use them when i run at the gym some times, the only issue i have with them is they sometimes slide down a little, but not enough to require me to stop and fix them.

I've only used them in a music setting, but I tend to perspire when I am playing drums. They stay put quite well, so I have had no problems.

I have not experienced any issues when I go out walking or jogging, but that is the extent of my exercising. I do not do much weightlifting, although I wear these things all day long and haven't had issues with them falling off. During work I only hang one side since my headphone for work uses the other ear. :)

Yes, these will stay in your ears much better than regular headphones. I bought these headphones just for physical activities and they haven't slipped out yes. They also sound great.

Not sure what the video says, but they stay in place when running. However, my black rubber strap broke very early on - but it doesn't matter because they stay in place anyway. And they juice up in just a few minutes.

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 wear them when I walk run in my neighborhood. They get a little sweaty but sound way better than ear buds and I haven't had any performance issues with them. They stay put.

I am not a runner so I don't know if they would maintain placement while running. I wear them with a bra and they stay put during a normal day of walking, bending, reaching and sitting. Sorry

They stay in just as well, the sport version just has shorter cord and pouch for runners etc.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

I have not had any issues yet with that....they are well built, (per the usual with B&O;), and what I really like about them is they don't move when I work out, (I had some Bose earbuds prior that were supposed to stay put but they didn't). There is enough adjustability so you can have a secure, comfortable fit.

My Klipsch X11's stay put pretty much. You can squeeze them in to varying degrees and I frequently ride bikes with them and never notice any slipping.
