Are these good for calisthenic workouts?

I use them sometimes for push ups, but my cousin uses them for a lot of different workouts like pull ups and similar workouts and loves them.

I'm sure you could use them for that, but they'really padded for lifting weights. Usually when I'm not lifting I take them off just to get air to my hands but they are very comfortable for most any workouts. Just keep in mind all of the padding technology is meant for weight lifting.

These work especially well for assisted pull-ups and dips. I've used them for resistance exercises as well; push-ups, deadlifts etc. well worth the purchase as far as I'm concerned...

i usually use them on heavy bench press days and sometimes on power cleans. They work good for that. If you just do not want your wrist to bend too much, then these are for you.

No, they do not. The fact that they don't however makes for a more dynamic workout, forcing you to use your core and stabilizer muscles.

Yes, I use them when I go to the gym and I have had no troubles running or lifting weights when using them.

We use these them for exercise and/or grappling on the floor. They are of good quality but with Olympic weights I am not sure how they will stand the test of time. I do recommend them though.

Hi Bernice, I currently use them with my Les Mills Combat workouts. I did not start using them until a few months in, when I felt stronger and more comfortable with the moves. I would highly recommend them, as they add a challenge without making it too difficult or leaving me sore.

Yes and yes. I have been using the same pair for my workouts for about 2 years now without any damage. They work just as well as the first day I bought them. I'd give them a 10 in terms of durability, a 10 for their functionality, and a 6.5-7.0 for sound quality (they are for casual listening, not studio monitors).

Yes, they do. I do handstands at my gym as well, and use them to help support my wrists, and they work great!

Yes! The reason I got these was to avoid getting calluses while doing my Orangetheory workouts. I've been using them for 3 months now and have no calluses.

I use them for weight lifting and weight machines and they provide a lot of padding without being lumpy or awkward. I think they would do the same for pull ups.

As mentioned by Hridoy, the headphone design would preclude you from weight lifting while lying on your back. Otherwise, as long as you have a good snug fit, these would be great for working out - I've found them to be sweat resistant.

Definitely. I used them for about 6 sessions of hot yoga until I switched back to free weights

Not very long. These are about 10 inches long and I'd say they stretch about half their length depending upon your strength. I see them as being best for your hips, legs, buttocks, thigh workouts as opposed to upper body.

Yes. You wear them so you don't get blisters/calluses and so you can have a better grip on the weights

Sri, I won't recommend that. They are tight enough but are not meant for active work out.

I use mine for cardio (DDR and running) and they stay on just fine. The only issue is that when you sweat a lot you have to dry your ears but other than that I love them. For weight lifting they also work fine. The only issue there would be when you lay down flat such as for doing bench press. They kinda move a bit so you have to fix them.
