Jbuds J6: A question. I've had my eyes on these ear buds for about a month now. Still, with more and more reviews coming in, a question of mine remains: How well do the Jbuds J6 stay in your ear when you become active (Running, Jogging, Jump Roping Etc..)?I'm looking for a good pair of budget ear buds that will stay in my ears when I get active.

I love the sound of these buds when they stay sealed. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me keep them in my ears unless I am sitting still, despite the different sized tips that come with them. I think its because these buds are so light, and the cord is weighty, that any sort of minor agitation tends to yank them out of my ears. I've tried the clip, over the ears, etc. Nothing works. So its back to my Klipsch S4s for now.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.

Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower. I cannot give an honest answer as I am usually sitting behind my PC while using these ear buds. Still,they have lasted longer than any other set I've owned (considering my cats and my jumbled work area).The quality sound and durable cords are the best thing I can tell you for sure. Hopefully another user will be able to help you with the "work out" question. I have no problem with them falling out but then again, I am not chopping wood or jogging with them in. Wish I could be more help~Cheers! Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower.

I've been wearing them to the gym almost daily. They are very durable (cord is thicker than others that I've had). The actual silicone earbuds themselves will eventually wear out. They come with about 6 sets of replacements so that shouldn't be an issue either.

hi, its been a few months so maybe you already got these or something else? I just tried dancing in these today and they held up ok. The freedom is amazing..but I haven't cut totally loose with these yet. I started but then popped a shoe lace. So, after I get a new lace I will see how far these buds can hang with me & hopefully update this. Thanks. p.s. audio quality and volume are like higher-end buds. Im running these with a Cowon X7. Update: ====== the cord connecting the ear buds is sticky, even on sweaty skin to some extent but enough to throw these when really throttled up. To fix that I clipped the cord to my hair in back. Now I can spin my hair flat and top it, too, without any problem with these buds. I pushed it past where I normally would have lost regular ear buds also, and they work fine. The trick is keeping that cord off your back and getting those ear tips right (those triangle shaped things that fit on the ear buds). Its an awesome device, very well thought out. If I could change anything though I would add a grove on the ear buds so that the ear tips dont slip down the ear stalk. A set of ear buds, regardless of who makes them, lasts me about month, and my record is about 3 months. So, time will tell how sweat proof they really are. Overall, I am extremely happy with these so far, extremely because they weren't just a replacement but so far an improvement. Good luck.

I use them for jogging all the time. They are more stable than the ear bud earphones I had. They may feel a little heavy and sweaty after you run for some time, but otherwise they're fine. I just ran a half marathon with these on my ears and had no issues whatsoever.

Scott,Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

Per Racing Dan, below, I wear mine working out and one side sometimes cuts out when the sweat starts. But these are the only earbuds I've found that stay in my ears. The volume control works great.

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.

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pair that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pair that I can bend inward.Thanks

I had the same problem so I ordered a great sounding pair of earbuds called "chops" & they are sold by Skullcandy. They sound as good as Apple earbuds, but they stay in place. You can order them online from Skullcandy & they ship really fast. Also, they have a great warranty...

Hello Mark,I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

JBuds J2 sound ok. To me it fills like your missing part of the sound with them. The bass isnt full and cant hear the hi hat on the drums. Im gonna try the V-MODA next to find some better earbuds

Cristy Showers, I am unsure as to whether there are replacement buds. Did you not receive the extra 2 pair included with your original purchase? I have found that all the earbuds I have, no matter the brand, the earbud sleeves are interchangeable. I have had probably at lease 6-7 pair of all names & sizes. As long as the little speaker is near about the same size? You can use any kind. I am sure if you contact JVC they can give you more info. I never have them long enough to need replacement. I bought 3 pair of behind the head, over the ear, and ear cup styles now. I have tiny ears, and cannot stand buds anymore. If I were you, go up to a better pair of JVC that surround your ear, you will NOT believe how much better the sound is.

Best phones ever for running, do not bother at all, stay in place snug, cable runs from just one side, sound is good. Plug and phones will corrode with sweat and eventually stop working, like ALL other headphones, wash with running water quickly after each use and it should last twice as long. Dont know if its good for exercising though.

I have enjoyed them. I only paid about $7 for them, and for that price yes, they're definitely worth it. Good sound quality, and really good fit in the ear once you get them situated correctly. I have gone running with them and I don't have to mess with them at all because they stay put, which is hard to find. Hope that helps!
