Jbuds J6: A question. 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 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.

Excellent for running. They appear uneffected by sweat. They fit really snuggly too so that they dont fall out. The blue tooth range to the device you are connecting appears to depend on the power output of your device rather than the ear buds. A tablet computer will connect and stay connected better than a smart phone. But overall these are great for physical sports.

I rock mine on the elliptical, rowing machine, lifting, core work...they move a little on a treadmill but that is because there is more impact with running/jogging. I can't keep ear-buds in my ears, my beats saved the day!

I haven't tried these for running as I prefer the wireless headband type for that. I have tiny ear openings & even little buds pop out of my ears. These stay in pretty good. Sometimes I feel like they're popping out but they're not. Probably just a habit to feel for that cause of my past experiences. They work great on the elliptical, weight machines & walk / jog combo

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.

I work out with them every day. I wear them while jogging and in the gym. As long as they are inserted in your ear canal, not resting against your ear, they will never fall out. The only potential issue is jogging on public streets. Because they block out almost all external sound, you can't hear vehicles approaching.

First, I am not a person who works out, and I can only imagine you are referring to being in the gym, running etc.so that it quite a bit of movement. I do use these daily, in fact I often go to bed wearing them, listening to music, for sleep and relaxation programs. I turn often in my sleep and am forever moving my pillow. These pretty much stay in with this kind of close contact and are consistent over time. I would consider that also a function of how good the ear bud cushions fit your ear. Mine have worked out well. I still find the chord is great since it does not tangle into the usual nightmare ball that other ear bud do. That of course, may be a plus or minus for you, because I don't know where your chord will be during any potions of your workout. I do use these while in my workshop, while cooking etc. often by throwing the long length of chord over my head so it lays on my back and stays out of my way. Hope this helps.

Any earbud provides SOME noise isolation and some with tight-fitting eartips do better. Although I really like the JBuds sound and comfort (and the price!), the noise isolation doesn't seem any better than any other earbud set I've used. Some ear canals are harder to fit than others, though, so some of the sound leakage might be due to MY ear canals.

I bought a pair for both my teenage daughter and myself, she likes them better then I do. They seem to fall out of my ears easily (I haven't worn them much) and she told me the same thing but after wearing them several times they now stay in her ears and she likes them a lot more. So I'd so they're okay but not the best for exercising.

I use mine primarily under a helmet while riding one of my motorcycles and they stay in the ear prety well. Of course you have to insert them properly and have them seal in your ears. As for the sweat while working out. I guess that depends on how much you sweat in your ears. But I am sure they will take a moderate amount sweating.Hopes this helps.Rick G

Laura, I only bought these earphones for jogging and the fact that the earbuds came in 3 sizes. So far I have had not problems with them as I have been out in the rain and also sweaty wearing them. Not sure if this will help you

I wear them when I walk run in my neighborhood. They get a little sweaty but sound way better than ear buds and I haven't had any performance issues with them. They stay put.

I actually wrap the cable over my ear before placing the ear buds in my ear. They stay in fine, even while running.

I use these to run and when I run, I sweat. A lot! They stay in place, don't move around. Will they drown out your lawnmower? Probably. My concern when I run with them is that I cannot hear anything other than my music. This includes traffic, dogs, and an occasional--lawn mower! You should be ok. I hope this helps.

My experience is that they're pretty good for the type of headphone they are: quite snug for this style. I find them too bulky and hot to consider ideal during a workout. They don't seem like they're designed to deal with sweat, etc., so the getting them wet with sweat kind of grosses me out too. For normal use I don't consider them too bulky or hot, but to workout I think I prefer an earbud style over these.

straight down..dont buy these earbuds if you want to use them for running..they dont stay in ear.

Depends on your ears. They wouldn't stay in mine if I did anything more active than walking.
