Can these be used for walking on a treadmill and how are they for classical music?

They are great for classical music (I tried them for Liszt, Prokofiev, Ravel and Chopin piano concertos). Not sure about walking on treadmill though.

Great for classical music! Not sure I'd want to work up a sweat in them (or any other type of over-the-ear headphone).

they are a little big but are comfortable. For classical music sound good but not as hi end phones.Worth how much they cost.

Yes, I exercise with these all the time, they stay on fine for me as long as I'm not being too aggressive. They are also excellent for classical music.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running. Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

These headphones are very fragile, so no I would not recommend using these for workouts. Although the sound quality is nice, they break easily.

Yes, they do. Not terribly, but they do leak sound when on full blast everyone can hear it. I think it is okay in the gym, because treadmills make a lot of noise as well, but you can't have them on full volume in an office setting.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

Using the conform tips they work for running. The housing sits nicely in your ear which helps with any movement. They are very light. Sound awesome too.

Active I would say not good... Just walking around I would say ok. I wanted more of an over the ear headphone but the speakers and cushions on these are smaller... Cord is pretty long so you will have to stow excess.

Honestly I mean I guess it would depend what you were doing in them. I run in them and love them and they have awesome sound. Now would I use them during my martial arts and stuff? Not likely but if you wanna run I don't think I have ever had a pair of s11's fall off so I would recommend and I'm not running usually on just flat ground it could be any terrain so I hope that helps ya out.

I'm not sure how these handle with classical music, as it's not my taste, but these headphones do isolate much better than most over-ears. If you're looking for good isolation and sound quality, I would look at Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC7B noise cancelling headphones. I had the ANC7s (before the ANC7B replaced it) and they were PERFECT with isolation and had great sound quality.

I tried them on while using the treadmill and the cross trainer and they stayed on, but I can't say about outdoor jogging. It is worth the buy, the bass is awesome. I can't stop myself from dancing at all. Cheers.

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!

I would not use them in the gym. Walking around, they are good. The headphones are snug but could fall off during rapid movements.Basically they were not meant for working out.

Yes they are secure enough to wear on the treadmill, but sweat might make the headphone turn yellow.

Hi, I would not use this for "quality" listening, but I use it for exercising and it's great for that. I can hear the music clearly, but if you're looking into listening to every nuance of the music (such as that you want in classical music), I wouldn't purchase this for that.

I've need tried them for deep water walking but I don't know why you couldn't use them that way. They advertise their use for swimming and exercise in a pool.

For music they are fine. A bit gaudy because of the shape and fit. But they sound good. I use them quite a bit in the gym and on bike rides. Mixed reviews for work but believe this is a feature of my laptop and not the headphones. I too use Lync. I have not had any complaints from listeners so they seem to block background noise - not wind, so when walking to your car, people will know. My one complaint is that I have to be in close proximity to my laptop at work. At home, I can walk around a bit, but no more than say 20 feet.

They work well for running but not at high speeds. I've used it on my bike and get a lot of wind noise that drowns out the music. They work at the gym but not as well as the type that are earbuds.
