How are these for working out? Will these fly off my ears while working out, running and weight lifting?

Hi John, I bought these mainly for TV viewing when my wife wants quiet, the volume control was a big plus for me. They have good sound, great noise cancellation, but are pretty bulky. They are fine for working out , including rowing and elliptical, and lifting. I think they would be uncomfortable to run with, and probably would slosh around. Although they do have a snug yet comfortable fit. Hope this helps. Steve

Hi, I do not workout or run. Therefore, I can not respond to your questions. They hold pretty tight. I used them for traveling, but after a couple of hours I had to take them off. Too uncomfortable and like I said too tight.

Not so good for working out, they will fly off and are a little heavy. These are better for plane or train trips. Plus when you have the sound reducer on, the head phones make a little noise that bothers me, but I may be just being a little picky on the last part.

I haven't tried using them yet at the gym. They seem like they would work awesome though, because I rest the frame right above my ears and they stay in place very well. I would not be able to answer as far as the sweat issue.

They probably won't be a very good choice for wear while you're in the gym. As for moisture I can only tell you my experience. I wear them onstage and during a show I sweat buckets. I normally take them out between sets and dry them off but I have never had them stop working. I assume that sweat is OK but I won't guarantee it. They stay in my ears just fine but for a workout, I don't know. Maybe.

Yes. I don't recommend them if you're planning to wear them while working out though. The microphone portion is not waterproof and sweat gets into it, causing it to force songs to skip or even try to call people.

yes... I am using mine at the gym. You just need to be a little more aware that they are there. Noise canceling is why I got them and they are over the ear!! plus they sound amazing!!

They don't move in my ears at all while running unless I pull on the cord by accident. The clip on the cord keeps that from happening. I think these are great for working out. They also come with additional sizes of the ear buds to help them fit best.

No no, these are strictly headphones. I use them at the gym while running, or listening to music or watching movies on a plane... For these situations they work great. but they do not pick up outgoing sound.

You probably would not want to workout with these headphones, unless you are going for a "look at me" workout. Monster has headphones designed for working out, over-ear Freedoms or earbuds Victory or Intensity. I have a set of the Intensity earbuds, they stay in your ears running or on the stair master and you don't have to worry about sweating on them as the rubber ends come off for easy cleaning.

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.

Well, these actually have a special way of wearing for running, you'll find about it with the manual that comes in the box. They stay in your ears most of the time, but they could slip out with sweat, i'd recomend using a head band while exercising, hope this helped.

While these headphones are light, they were not constructed for physical activity. Therefore, I would not recommend them for working out!

Yes and no! Yes they stay in if your not a heavy sweater, but if you are a heavy sweater, they tend to slides out of your ears. Other than that when I'm lifting weights at the gym they stay in my ears and sounds great.

Probably, but your main issues would be perspiration and fit. The band holding the headphones should ride directly on top of your head, and the cups feel snug enough to stay in place. I fear that the cushioning material would absorb perspiration, which could create other problems. Note: I do not wear these while working out because I don't work out.

Just keep in mind that these are not sweat resistance and they might create excess heat around your ears when working out. I know the sweat can deteriorate the fake leather around the earcups and, if one of the drivers gets wet (or even the left earcup "b" button), they'll get ruined. You may want to look at sweat resistant earbuds instead, something like the Powerbeats or Bose SIE2 earbuds.

I am not a long distance runner but I absolutely think these are the best headphones I have ever worked out wearing. For my shorter runs they are immobile and comfortable. I did however wear them on a ten hour flight with zero pressure or discomfort. So I am a fan!

Not at all! I run and workout with these in everyday and love them. If you place then properly, its even difficult to pull them out (like if the cord gets caught on something). If you run at all, I suggest these. Great fit and sound. I only have 20% hearing in my left side and these are the only headphones that have good enough sound for me.
