Would these be a good substitute, while traveling, for my bow flex routine?

Not these particular cords, but better quality ones with the right attachments for doorways, etc., yes. I have used these and they don't hold up to serious wear and tear.

I have only worn them in the metro bus and at work -- so, pretty stationary use is all I have basically ever used them for.They are decently fit snug-ish on my head, but I don't think they'd withstand running without getting knocked around a little..... but I could be wrong.

I would not recommend it. Your muscles could get tight and sore. I use them while watching tv and then take them off before bedtime.

Yes, you should be able to use them in on your X Bow.. I use these all the time with my Barnett Predator.

For me, these are "sit on an airplane and bask in envious glares" headphones... the fit is tight enough and the headband doesn't move much, but depending on use, the sweat might be a deal-breaker. Light stuff should be just fine though.

They're not bad, but not great. Depending on your hat size (mine is rather large) they do get to feeling a bit tight after two or three hours. By which time I'm generally ready to stretch my legs a bit anyway.

They would work well for stick fighting... my husband uses them for hunting and shotting

I'm smaller and lighter, but with the add ons, you might just find these are just fine. Why don't you check out a pair in store (REI or whatever is close) then you may feel better about purchase. Of course, Amazon will take them back if you decide to return before you use them.

I haven't used them on a plane, but I'd agree with the other two. These are quite a bit big and always had a twisty tie for excess cable. As Ikarianlad stated, they don't "clamp" onto your head like conventional HPs. These "rest" on your head and easily slip off because of the loose tension on the "3D pads" on your head. I never slept with them in bed because they just don't hold shape.I'd look at a cheap pair of earphones/earbuds for the plane and use these for good sound at home or on the go.

Yes, They should work. They are my favorite, but I haven't used it that way in a while.

I don't think so. I tried them out for just work use (retail), and they were falling apart (I had a hole in the pad area) in less than a week. I don't imagine they'd hold up too well with more vigorous use.

I have used these and other Shure's during all kinds of exercise. As long as you don't snag the cord they will be fine. The reason I have se SE425 is because the set I had before, which was the predecessor to these (E4c) got caught up in a rowing machine and the cable was damaged. Now that they have a replaceable cable you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. And if you are worried about sweat, keep in mind these things are built for stage musicians. Experiment and find the right sleeve and you won't have any problems!

Likely yes. Ultimately though depends on what're gonna do with em. They're fun., great looking, pretty solid, on the heavy side , if they're too long, remove tips and cut, taper it and go. I used mine in long bows and recurves.

Yes you can bend them very slightly for pre travel. Add the Allen screw is for over travel.

Yes. They are good for lower price/ chinese arrows. Have held up pretty well also and nice traditional look.

Yes! They are perfect for travel, although I haven't tried the executives which are supposedly better, these are extremely good at blocking out sound.
