Are these sweatproof? can I use them during my workout?

They work like a collar or necklace with ear buds attached so sweat around the neck might be an issue. The biggest issue for me is the static or cutting out that occurs with much motion.

Yes, I have had these headphones just since May 29, 2014, but I take them to the gym everyday. I wear them for cardio on a machine that is like a cross country skiing machine where your arms and legs are moving simultaneously. They stay on fine-in fact the fit is snug but not too tight. I have also shot baskets with them on--not playing in a game--but just a shooting drill I do. No problems. They are not sweat resistant, but I try to wipe the rubber ear cuffs off after each time at the gym so the salt does not corrode them quickly.

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 go to the gym an average of 9 hours a week and literally sweat badly for 3/4 of that time. People make fun of me (it's that bad). I wear my headphones every single day. I wipe them down with a paper towel covered in gym disinfectant spray and put them in their bag each night. They are perfect. I got them in November.

Sri, I won't recommend that. They are tight enough but are not meant for active work out.

I use them when I'm walking and riding my bike ... they're great. I think they'd be equally good for running, unless you sweat from your ear canals, lol. E.g., the pad is entirely inside your ear canal. The larger part that rests in the concave of your ear is hard plastic, not affected by sweat. The cables may gradually be affected by exposure to body moisture, but they can be detached and replaced.

I bought these for my daughter, she wore them during hot yoga with no problem, and that was LOTS of sweat! Hope this helps...

I wouldn't suggest it. They aren't sweat- resistant and I think too heavy to stay secure. I would suggest using one of the BT buds from Jaybord or Jabra. Sweat-resistant, can use the phone, listen to music etc.

I have sweat quite a bit with these but have had no issues. I've even brought them into saunas. The only thing that might happen is you'll create a "seal" in your ear with the earbud after your sweat gets into your ear. All I do is move them slightly to release the seal.

I've worn them while working out and their fine...as far as being sweat resistant goes, I'd say that you will be fine with these unless you're sweating out of ears, if that's the case you have a much bigger issue. Enjoy!!!

I wouldn't recommend these for gym use. They might stay put, but they might not if you are on a treadmill or moving too much. I also think the over the ear design would get sweaty on your ears.

They're not waterproof, but I've worn them through a tough, ton of sweat workout and they're still working. I wouldn't risk wearing them in the rain.

Suitable, but if you're a heavy sweater, like when running long distance, these are vulnerable to the sweat. They will short out and won't work again. So either you have to meticulously wipe your head of sweat, or run the risk of killing them. I've not found a better unit overall for over the ear headsets to work out in. So I always treat the earpads with scotch guard to help make them more moisture resistant.

First of all these are my favorite headphones. I keep them by my computer and use them for casual listening, music, youtube, etc. They are very comfortable. However, if you sweat in them, the sweat will soak into the cups. So I would probably not use them at the gym.

I sweat heavily and haven't had a problem with mine. Been using them for several years - lost one set - the only issue I had was with ear wax but was not hard to fix.

There is a pause feature but no on/off feature. They are not sweat proof at the gym... they will short out and loose fidelity.

They're sweat proof enough in that I've never had a problem with mine due to them getting wet at the gym... I don't use the little foam covers for the ear buds though.
