I don't really think they would be comfortable to run in. I thought about it, but decided not to because of their weight, and I also didn't want anything to happen to them. I'm not saying that they are heavy, but I would imagine they would be a bit cumbersome. But maybe that's just me - if you wouldn't mind something like this on your head when you run (I would mind), then you could probably do it. The cord is a bit long though, you would probably have to tie it around itself or something. They really are great headphones though. Hope this helps

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

No, you can still hear background noise, which is good especially if you street run. Depending on the device, I used 7 Th generation nano, they can play pretty loud. As I mentioned they are great but not if you wear glasses, which I do.

They do not fit tight, you could run and hear everything. If you keep it looped around the ear, you can jog like that, but it is not as stable.. Walking with it completely out is very unstable. It does not fit into the ear canal like the LG 700 series and is built so you can run and still be aware of your surroundings

I did use them on treadmill and other indoor gym activities...they are effective but only concern i had the leather getting drenched in sweat and odour remains in the sponge underneath. So I stopped using them in gym...but I love these headphones.

No. Not for outside runs. I think you can for treadmill runs if you need that.

They isolate very well. You're not going to have to turn the volume up much at all. Usually, maxing these headphones on a phone or iPod isn't going to be too loud, but the isolation usually makes it loud enough. I'd suggest getting a good DAP or a powerful phone anyways. I think your biggest concern should be how hot your ears will be :D

They are better/louder than the iPhone earbuds in my opinion but not by much. I use these for running because the iPhone buds just fall out.

I use mine for running and they cutout all the time. It's annoying when listening to music and downright frustrating when listening to podcasts. They also can be too quiet when listening to podcasts, even with the volume all the way up. I want to like these but can't for the aforementioned reasons.

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

For running there is no better set of headphones that I have used. For the gym they are ok and I only say that because these "headband" style headphones are never great in the gym because laying down on your back will not be possible when wearing these because the band will touch the floor. I have used these for multiple races and I absolutely love them. I use them in the gym but take them off when using the bench press for example.

Absolutely not. I just tried these on in my house and they block about as much noise as a sock would taped to your ear. I could clearly hear music playing on my TV at lvl 5/99. I put falling rain white noise on the headphones at low (the volume I'd have on if I worked out at a gym with no music on) and I could still here everything around me, including the carpenters doing work downstairs. These may be great for runners/whoever but don't expect any sound blocking at all. Just reboxed them and shipping them back. Looks like I'm going to have to buy the $299 ones from Bose, which it a hell of a lot of money for headphones. Maybe I should just look for a new gym that doesn't think it's also a disco.

These buds have several different sized ear pieces so that you theoretically can find the right size that wedges into your ear. That said, they will probably come out if you're running or if the line gets tugged. However, I only wore them to work out a couple of times. My impression is that they don't have as good of sound quality as the apple buds that came with my ipod. I eventually went with "on ear" headphones.

This is not suitable for gym because it drops quickly while running. S2 is made by metal so it is heavy to carry. For gym, you should prefer in ears like having extra plastic holder. Bose is good for gym and some sennheiser models are also OK

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.

They work well for running but not at high speeds. I've used it on my bike and get a lot of wind noise that drowns out the music. They work at the gym but not as well as the type that are earbuds.

I tried them on while using the treadmill and the cross trainer and they stayed on, but I can't say about outdoor jogging. It is worth the buy, the bass is awesome. I can't stop myself from dancing at all. Cheers.
