do these work well running?

They hold overall but seriously do not last. I used mine solely for the gym, intense weightlifting and cardio. I went thru 2 pairs and they both dumped after a few weeks. I assume because of the sweat idk lol. Don't waste your time with these.

Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone. The over-ear design of the BTH220 allows them to stay in place during exercise more effectively than traditional headband-style headsets. For this reason, many of our customers use them expressly as a running headset.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone.

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.

Yes, they work just fine. You will only have to configure the controls before using them. Everything runs ok, the only thing i dont like of this radio is that GPS software is not included (it is ready for GPS, but you will have to find a compatible software to use it).

I think they would work well for you. They are flexible and light. I recommend.

I have them outside running around my back yard. I ran them along the fenceline.No issues.

They perform well. The wheels may wear down fast and unevenly with outside use though.

I have been pretty drenched running with these and I have not had an issue (yet). I tend to sweat heavily and I've worn them for several 6-8 mile runs without issue.

They have a pretty snug fit, so I bet they would be fine for running, although I would personally rather run in ear buds. A plus to running in these is the single cord.

They do a very good job of this. I use them when I run and they don't completly cancel out ALL background with some of the traffic but they do a pretty good job

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

No they run on house current and work just great. I take them with me camping and on all trips. I do like to let them run through 2 cycles, that seems to help me more.

I use them for running. I ran a trail 1/2 marathon in them last year in icy conditions and they worked great. Very good on ice and hardpack snow. In deep, soft snow they don't help much.

I would not think they would hold up for running. I only used them for walking and snowblowing the drive. They broke after one season. Worked really well-but I will not pay that much for such a short span of time again.

They are indeed good headphones for listening and travelling, but I would not recommend them for running.

I use them for caving and they work great. I haven't run in them, but they are fairly large and probably would impede running.

Yes they do. I had them in for six months and they are doing well. Anything else I can help u with just ask. Kerby

Hi David, they work just as the advertising states. I run and the head phones stay in place.
