how sweat proof are these headphones?

I have been exercising outside in 80-95 degree Farenheit weather and have had no problems, but the humitiy is low where I live.

The headphones are great and handle sweat, in terms of ruggedness (I haven't broken them so far... and I sweat a lot - 6 mile runs). In terms of usability, if sweat gets in between the headphones and the air seal you create with your ear, then you have to pull off the rubber cover and blow the moisture out of the tube (takes 30 seconds or less), otherwise the sound will be muffled. These are the best "cheap" workout headphones I have found. The next step up would be Zennheiser PMX 70. They are twice as expensive.

My son wears his headphones when he works out. Sweating doesn't seem to affect the performance.

I used them just the other day on a run. Right one stayed in snug and the left pulled out just a smidge. Needs a slight adjustment and another ear cleaning :) if you have the plugs in with no tunes, you can hear yourself breathing... Weird but cool. I did put a quick knuckle to my inner ear... Pushed it back in, an I was good to go. Don't think sweat was an issue... But a little ear wax was - easily fixed. By far the best buds I have ever used; amazing sound!

These are horrible for sweat. The upward facing stem, and over-the-ear wire, become a channel for sweat to drip right into your ears.

They Are Horrible. Try Another Brand Because These Suck All The Way Around.

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.

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.

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.

I've been using mine for working out at a gym and I haven't had any malfunctions due to sweat. But the manual for these headphones say that sweat may cause damage to the internal parts. So I guess I've just been lucky ? . Hope this helps

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.

Honestly I haven't used them to sweat crazily, but I do use them doing yard work n stuff like that n love them enough to buy two pairs. One to get dirty n one to watch movies with in my house. I think they will be fine, I love mine!

I go to the gym an average of 9 hours a week and literally sweat badly for 3/4 of that time. People make fun of me (it's that bad). I wear my headphones every single day. I wipe them down with a paper towel covered in gym disinfectant spray and put them in their bag each night. They are perfect. I got them in November.

No they are NOT suitable for workouts. I went through two of these headphones each died from sweat and moisture. They would've been perfect if it was waterproof.

Yes, they are very comfortable for running, and there is very little risk of it slipping off of your ears. The best part is...there is a lifetime warranty from sweat!

I have these headphones and they seem to fall off my head easily. I would not recommend to use these while you play sports. I also highly doubt that they are sweat resistant.

The ear cushions are very absorbent. I've had these for 6 months or so and sweat has not been an issue. Typically I kill my running headphones is about 6 months and I feel confident they will last much longer.

I'd say they are decently sweat-resistant, but not sweat-proof. I've had mine for about 3 months now, and after walking to work daily in this heat wave, eventually the microphone has stopped working, so I cannot make or take calls anymore.I gotta say, I'm disappointed but I still love these headphones. They still work with my mp3 player, and the sound quality is fantastic. They're lightweight and were uncomfortable for the first couple of days, but I quickly got used to them. I'm holding out a little while longer to buy another pair, but I will indeed be purchasing these again. I'm just gonna be a little more sweat-conscious when I'm wearing them.

Its not water proof, but i haven't had any problems with sweat. I've used it for a couple of long runs(10-15 miles) and no problems.

My experience is that they're pretty good for the type of headphone they are: quite snug for this style. I find them too bulky and hot to consider ideal during a workout. They don't seem like they're designed to deal with sweat, etc., so the getting them wet with sweat kind of grosses me out too. For normal use I don't consider them too bulky or hot, but to workout I think I prefer an earbud style over these.

I haven't used mine in the rain but I sweat quite a bit when riding my bike here in Texas and haven't had any troubles. These bluetooth headphones are probably the best ones of probably that I've owned and I've had probably a dozen or more brands and types.

Joe, maybe in the light rain. I used mine about 6 times working out. Said they were sweat resistant....whatever that means. They shorted out and they were kind enough to offer to replace them once, but with wanting something to workout in I spent the extra money on a brand that was made to workout in. If its just rain and not a lot and you don't sweat a lot you should be OK. If you do, then I would get a better pair. You really do get what you pay for in BT headsets.
