To the runners out there, are these good for running or is there something else I should get?

Yes, these are the best things I have found for running, they really stay put and don't damage my running shoes.

I would get either a pair of Solomon's that have very good traction or get a pair of the rubber cleats with the small metal spikes, but only if you absolutely have to run on ice.

I've used them extensively. They work well but don't expect to get more than a couple of seasons especially I you ru o partially covered pavement. Still worth I though

To be honest they should work. But ur using these for running don't get them. Because they didn't stay tight around my ears. I hardly use them. If the ear pieces weren't loose they would be better.

I wouldnt recommend them for running. The protective earshell, although very comfortable, would not do well against perspiration. Better keep them indoors. The sound quality is amazing though -especially considering the price- and I'd recommend them for listening to music at home.

Despite what a lot of these mouth-breathers are saying, these are great for running. I've used them for the past year+. The try not to get caught out in the rain though, because they're not waterproof. As someone else mentioned, they allow you to have situational awareness by not blocking out all external sound. Also, if you're getting a poor fit, just adjust to be tighter! They're meant to be adjustable and to conform to the user. At this price point, they're not going to last forever, but take a little care with them and you can get a good life out of them, then send them back to Koss under warranty for replacement.

Yes, I am a runner; as long as you loop them over your ears like it says in the instructions, you will be fine

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

Yes, they are great. They stay in place and are comfortable for even the longest runs but remember running with any sound isolating earphones or headphones blocks out all surrounding noise which can be dangerous in cities and other areas where you should be alert.

I found them too big for running. They also wouldn't stay in my head for running. Maybe for weight training. I prefer in ear for working out. If I were to go with other type of headphones I think I would use over the ear for working out rather than on ear. I hope this helps.

For running they are great but for the gym they can get in the way. I use my earbuds at the gym.

Depends on what your gonna do with them. Jog? No I would not advise that. I do know a good pair for jogging. But these are decently tight, but I'm female and have a small head.

Not necessarily, if you find a good fit. The over the ear accessory will help, but I found it too rigid and uncomfortable to use for long. You should be okay while weight lifting, but I wouldn't recommend them for running.
1177845
No i think they will not be very comfortable while running. The other thing is that they are very tight on the knee top and create some discomfort. So what i will recommend is that try elastic one the reason i purchased these one was i thought they will be very good in support but turn out that they are good at supporting your knee but they have other problems as mentioned above. I hope this helps.

I am a runner too. These headphones don't really work for me. I run with my ipod in my hand so it might be different for someone who uses an arm band. But I don't like the volume control. It is heavy and bounces around. I try to use the clips to prevent this...but the clips are in awkward places that dont really work. And sometimes my arm catches on the cord and the buds and clips go flying everywhere and I start swearing. Also if it a hot day and I get sweaty, there is no hope, the buds slip right out. I do however Really like the Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones. These do not have the volume control and clips... much more simple. The buds always stay in. I am a runner too.

These are what i use for running. I feel certain they work with anything that has a headphone jack.

Yes, these are the most comfortable running headphones I've ever owned. Adjustable clips and inner ear piece are great.

I've had two pairs of these and definitely recommend - they're great to run with and comfortably stay in the ear. My one complaint is that you must keep the phone on the side where the Bluetooth receptor is on the earbuds (i.e. Left side of the body to match left earbud), which can get annoying. Overall, they're great for runners- so I think you'd be pleased!
