When they work the way theyre supposed to, they stayed on perfectly fine no problem. Id normally do 20 minute fast paced runs on treadmills or hills

I have used them at the gym with little to no trouble at all. If you have a good 'ear-fit', by determining which insert fits best, you should have no problem. I use the foam inserts and they work best for me. The way the entire IEM fits IN your ear and with the cables going over the backs of your ears, they are not as likely to be pulled out of your ears as standard ear buds. I love mine for Gym, running on treadmill, or relaxing on the couch. Also excellent noise rejection.

I wouldn't recommend this for running. Though the earphones itself create a good seal on your canals, the breaks from the cords to the earphones itself might allow water to seep in. Although if you think about it, these are used as monitors, so hypothetically, they CAN be used for running.

I use them when I'm walking and riding my bike ... they're great. I think they'd be equally good for running, unless you sweat from your ear canals, lol. E.g., the pad is entirely inside your ear canal. The larger part that rests in the concave of your ear is hard plastic, not affected by sweat. The cables may gradually be affected by exposure to body moisture, but they can be detached and replaced.

I sweat heavily and haven't had a problem with mine. Been using them for several years - lost one set - the only issue I had was with ear wax but was not hard to fix.

I sweat a ton, more than anyone else has ever sweat. I'm a little over weight and I run many miles, in Atlanta, in the summer, with hills. I know sweat. These have an awesome fit, I never felt they would fall out of my ears. Sound was great. I loved them. I left them on a bench once, for like 15 seconds, and someone stole them. My only issue was with the mic, they don't have good noise cancellation, whenever on a call people would say I sounded like I was in an echo chamber.

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.

Laura, I only bought these earphones for jogging and the fact that the earbuds came in 3 sizes. So far I have had not problems with them as I have been out in the rain and also sweaty wearing them. Not sure if this will help you

Yes they are. They´re specifically for working out. I do sweat a lot and mine have not shown any signs or deterioration.

If u r working hard, out in the sun, you will probably get too much sweat inside these. They are ventilated, but the air only really circulates when moving, like on a motorcycle or scooter.

Excellent for running. They appear uneffected by sweat. They fit really snuggly too so that they dont fall out. The blue tooth range to the device you are connecting appears to depend on the power output of your device rather than the ear buds. A tablet computer will connect and stay connected better than a smart phone. But overall these are great for physical sports.

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

That is why I bought them but then started working 6 days a week and haven't used them regularly. When you have them on, your arms really sweat underneath them. I feel they will would work fine if you use them every day. I intend to test that theory starting next month!

They may retain a small amount of water. The arch is solid and the gel parts won't but the sole on top where your foot rests may. I never had a problem with them retaining sweat after a very long mountain run and in 105+ heat I sweat heavy haha. Hope that helps.

They are very useful for running. This is actually my second pair of these. Which is kind of a testiment that I would go back to the same exact pair. That is actually the reason I picked these up b/c the earbuds drove me insane. They will not fall off and they are also sweat resistant. I guess I didn't encounter the fact that they are not very durable I mean as long as you take care of them you will get a good year or two or more out of them. Hope this helps.

The pair that i had didn't make it three good months and I only used them for working out but I sweat a lot more than the average person . My thought is if they couldn't handle the occasional sweat they may not hold up good for swimming . Maybe I had a bad pair. I liked them enough to buy another pair .

Yes I have a few times. They don't fall off at all they are perfect for running! And because they're Bluetooth you don't have any annoying wires in the way and if it rains you've got no excuse to stop running because they're waterproof.. Perfect for runners!

No. You'd probably want IEMs for jogging. Headphone looks weird not to mention these are quite uncomfortable/hot to wear.
