Would these work well for indoor rowing?

yes, for the only thing don't work really good is with pull ups, but I haven't found something that works for pull ups

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

I haven't ever used a rower. I use the rowing on the Blaze as a warm-up/down. For that purpose at least I am satisfied

yes. I use them in an indoor soccer facility for ages 5- small adults. They're fairly durable and are fitted enough so that they don't slide off the shoulders. Definitely a thumbs up.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

I only use mine for playing basketball indoors, so I have no idea if they will hold up under the conditions you plan to subject them to. I find them to be great for indoor use.

Probably not well. They're not THAT tight on your head, especially if you're planning on running or even using an elliptical or just lifting. I would recommend these for deskwork, but earbuds for working out.

Great for indoor use. Don't look waterproof to me, but think you could use them if covered.

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

I think they'd be great for an inflatable boat. I use mine on my kayak when I'm fishing.

I think these will work well for you. It's what they art designed to do. I use them to carry kayaks and canoes and the soft cloth surface on a foam pad provides the cushion and friction to make it easy to securely strap down and transport my paddle craft.

I too own a rowing machine and I would think not. The friction would sooner or later make it snap. You should look for a flat nylon product.

I have not used them while working out. My preference would be for something sweatproof - not only waterproof but something that can handle salts and oils which can be corrosive. The weight and bulk is probably a matter of comfort. For normal weight-lifting, I doubt there would be much of an issue. For rowing, it may depend on your cadence. I think the weight of the Zik would cause a problem with momentum changes in the back and forth motion.

We do several different ones. This may sound crazy but, if you are sitting on one of the noodles and peddaling (like on a bike) and rowing with the paddles, you get a pretty good workout. I like them because I really feel it in my arms.

I have used these and other Shure's during all kinds of exercise. As long as you don't snag the cord they will be fine. The reason I have se SE425 is because the set I had before, which was the predecessor to these (E4c) got caught up in a rowing machine and the cable was damaged. Now that they have a replaceable cable you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. And if you are worried about sweat, keep in mind these things are built for stage musicians. Experiment and find the right sleeve and you won't have any problems!

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.

I adore my machine. I bought a book on proper posture and form, which was helpful. The book stated that moderate rowing is a 3. I am pretty fit and find myself very comfortable at 4.5 for 5000 meters. I am 46. If I do intervals then usually a 4. If I power row, all in, a 5. Posture and breathing are key. Each person is different, though. My 38 year old husband find a 4.5 pretty challenging for 60 minutes.
