Can you run and sweat with these, or should I stick to the Sport model? I'm looking for the best sound quality while running.

Better top stick with the sport model or buy a pair of Phillips ActionFit earhook headphones. Less expensive, and if you break them while running, you don't have to worry about breaking these. Personally, I haven't found that they fit well enough in my ear to run with, but I do like the sound accuracy. These are more for the listening experience than running in.

Get some that hook behind the ear to keep them secure. Good luck with your selection.

These are great for running. Good with sweat. I love these head phones for daily use. I recommend these.

They sound great. Good rendering across the range. There is a little bit of cable thumping.IMO the best part is the quality of the sound with the excellent fit in the ear. Great for workout, although noise isolation might not be safe for certain sports activities.

they may be too lose to use at the gym depending on how tightly they fit on your head. in my case i use them at home or when commuting. in the summer they feel like ear warmers! so I dont think it would be a good idea to use them at the gym. I recommend using sony headphones that go in the ear for gym purposes. I currently use: Sony MDREX58V/VLT In-Ear Headphones when I go to the gym : )

I would say yes but not for exercising. The are fairly large and they make you sweat if you are exercising around your head and ears. I prefer smaller buds for that. They sound excellent and are really comfortable, just not sure what on the go means to you.

I think these are more of your normal sit and listen headphones. They are not particularly sporty for that use I think? I think if you want that, you might need ones that go stick inside your ears as opposed to cup over them.

I've had my C5's for just over a year now and wouldn't recommend them for an active workout. Although I've not used my pair of C5's for running or working out I've had a problem with the right ear bud cutting in and out depending on how I hold my nano. I thought it may have been the 3.5mm connection between plug and the ipod but now after more use I think it's actually where the cable attaches to the 3.5 mm plug. I've even tried other mp3 players and find that inadvertent motion can cut out sound for the right side. I have to hold the nano and cable just so to keep sound in both ear buds and the only use I've made of the C5's is on the metro rail and walking to the stations before and after work. I would suggest using a pair of earbuds that have an over the ear holding style like the Sony MDR-J10 h.ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design or the Sony MDR-AS20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers. This style of ear bud is good enough for a workout and also allow surrounding sounds through which is important depending on where you're being active. If you're running with the cars you might need to hear them coming but if you're running around a track then a pair of buds that need to make a seal may be just the thing. I have a pair of the Sony MDR-AS20J and find they're great for a workout. Hope that helps. Good luck with your buds!

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

I have these headphones and they seem to fall off my head easily. I would not recommend to use these while you play sports. I also highly doubt that they are sweat resistant.

I definitely not recommend you use these while exercising. They have thick cushions that can absorb your sweat, so they will be a great pain to clean if they got stained i think. Plus, it might not stay as sturdy as sports earphones. They might drop.

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 think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.

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.

I sweat a ton, more than anyone else has ever sweat. I'm a little over weight and I run many miles, in Atlanta, in the summer, with hills. I know sweat. These have an awesome fit, I never felt they would fall out of my ears. Sound was great. I loved them. I left them on a bench once, for like 15 seconds, and someone stole them. My only issue was with the mic, they don't have good noise cancellation, whenever on a call people would say I sounded like I was in an echo chamber.

Yes, they are great for running. The sound is perfect. My solitary complaint is that they are a bit too bulky for my ears to hold up. Otherwise they are great

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

For running they are great but for the gym they can get in the way. I use my earbuds at the gym.
