Will this leave residue on my headphones? my headphones keep coming of every time I run. Will this leave marks?

This is double-sided. While it probably won't leave residue on the headphones, not sure it would stick well to skin.

I use them when I workout, but when I run with them and sweat, sweat does get in them and I occasionally have to wipe the sweat off, but I haven't had a problem with them not working at the time, if anything just needed to remove the sweat.

I've had no problem with sweat affecting the usb or any other part of the headphones. These headphones have had a four to six month life cycle in my experience, and sweat may be a factor in that. Still for the price, I think that lifespan is pretty acceptable.

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.

Nothing new to add. Previous answer are complete. I have not had any problems with the headband after about 100 hours of use.

Just tried it with my Sennheiser PMX 100 and HD280 pro headphones and got nothing. But I have noticed at times some strange static through the headphones as I move around at my desk. I can't pin it on the ICON, but it only happens when using it... so maybe that does pin it on the ICON...

You have a little over 1/16 of an inch around the inlet for headphones. It is soft rubber in that section as well for further movement if needed. Hope that helps.

If the canal or tube of your earphone is dirty use the wax tool provided to remove debris. If you have no tool a paper clip will do, just be metered on how far you go down the earphone making sure that you don't damage your earphone driver. Note: If earphone sleeve is totally saturated with debris, purchase new sleeves for earphones seeing that there are not too expensive. If dirt is on the connection between cable and earphone, I would recommend sending it back to Shure see that it doesn't take much to damage that connection. Shure has good customer service and you earphones will be fixed or replaced.

Sometimes even just a small amount of earwax can get in an block the speaker hole. I haven't figured out the best way to clean it out. Last time I dipped the silent earbud carefully into the highest concentration rubbing alcohol I could find, so that the hole that lets the sound out (after you've taken off the silicon tip) was immersed, but no further, so as not to let the liquid touch something electronic. It soaked overnight and I took it out to dry for a while, and the sound was back to normal. Though that worked for me, I don't recommend it unless you're willing to risk destroying the unit.

It scratched the metal part of my zune's outer case, so it will probably scratch your ipod. It really will depend on how steady you are.

I think the headphones is no sweat proof.But I don't think you can get it wet while you exercise.And it fix well, so it suit you.

I've had no issues with the headphones I have. I have the in ear, Beats by Dr. Dre.

It can if you constantly listen to music too loud. Also if you don't clean the ear buds often, it can cause ear infections. Even if you keep your ears clean, it would still help to clean the ear buds. I like to wipe mines down with alcohol swabs after every few uses. Just be sure to remove the buds while doing so.

Yes, for some headphones you have to undo the bottom of the case. SUPER annoying. Depends on type of headphones/brand

First of all, I would suggest testing to see if the problem is in the headphones/ear buds themselves. If not, then yes, this would take care of it.

It is longer than I would like, but I always run the cord down behind me instead of in front so it's not a problem for running. I clip a ipod shuffle to the hem of my shirt on the left side and go. No problem. I never use headphones for weight workouts, so I don't know if I'd have the same experience then.
