Is this comfortable to run with for long distances? Does the band get annoying or uncomfortable when you start sweating ?

The Belkin Slim-Fit Armband is an ideal choice for those who wish to use their Samsung Galaxy S4 while exercising. The slim design keeps your phone securely in place on your arm, so you can focus on your workout and not on your device. The stretchy neoprene material is breathable and hand-washable.

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

After using it for a month and a half, I am impressed with the sound quality offered by this headphone. Comfort is not that great as I feel pain on my ears after using it continuously for 30 minutes (my head size is medium). But this is good for workout as the headband is so tight that it will not fall out. I would recommend this to a person with small to medium head size. Person with large head should stay away. Battery is great. No issues so far.

If you run like a 70 year old lady then yeah you can wear these. If you want to get sweat all up in every little part of these semi cheap headphones go for it. I'd recommend the Shure E2's for running. I run about 8 miles every two days and they hold up to the torrents of sweat I put out. N.

I ran for 14 miles with it.. Never encountered a limit... I imagine the on-screen timer will loop back to 0 eventually, but the information uploaded should remain accurate. If you want something that runs all day, consider an armband instead of a chest band, as the latter requires you to keep your chest moist. Ew. Re: battery life, I estimate 60 hours (of exercising) or more per watch battery. Ditto, chest strap. HTH.

I guess it depends on how much you sweat, I have used it 4 times now, about 4-5 miles each time and not had any issues with sweat.

I use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet

I also wear mine to sleep, but it is a snug fit and I do not see why you couldn't wear it for running. Kim

Yes. I like the device; however, don't plan on using it while doing any activity (i.e. running) b/c it fits a little loose.

I run and bike with them on. Main worry from what I read is sweat but I have not run into a problem yet. I just try not to sweat directly on them.

I run about 40-60 min 6 days a week . They usually cause no problems and have been the most comfortable headphones I have ever had. Sometimes I will have a headache after a run. My ears kinda will ache at the ear canal where the buds are. I think maybe the buds are too big for my ear canal. Or maybe I just have my music turned up to loud. Who knows. But, most of the time I have no problems.

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.

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.

Short answer YES. I can jog 2 miles easily without sweating. I got this for my stand up desk and after 30 mins I felt something very strange on my arm and slapped at it; It was a bead of sweet. I also noticed that after I completed my "workout" I would sit down and my legs were a bit weak when standing up. I guess the change in exercise pattern really helped.

I had no issues with it sliding off my arm while running or cycling. Be warned though that any armband needs to be really tight around your arm to not slide around. Not cutting off your blood tight but pretty tight. My wife also has never had a problem with this armband sliding off her arm while running. I really like this armband and felt it worked really well.

The armband itself (the fabric portion, not the rubbery bit that encloses the phone) does get sweaty. To combat this, I generally just remove the band from the rubbery part after a run and throw it in the washing machine with my running clothes, then I let it air dry. Hope that helps!

Yes, the volume buttons on the side aren't as easy, but I have no problems with anything else. It's a great armband for running I can have a key or a goo no problem!
