To the runners out there, are these good for running or is there something else I should get?

Yes, these are the best things I have found for running, they really stay put and don't damage my running shoes.

I would get either a pair of Solomon's that have very good traction or get a pair of the rubber cleats with the small metal spikes, but only if you absolutely have to run on ice.

I've used them extensively. They work well but don't expect to get more than a couple of seasons especially I you ru o partially covered pavement. Still worth I though

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.

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.

Not really; they are more for swimming. There are a lot of designs that would be better for running; I like the over the ear design for running; I have Motorola sport Bluetooth headphones and the design is great for staying in but they don't get very loud volume which can be annoying.

If you run like a 70 year old lady then yeah you can wear these. If you want to get sweat all up in every little part of these semi cheap headphones go for it. I'd recommend the Shure E2's for running. I run about 8 miles every two days and they hold up to the torrents of sweat I put out. N.

The only thing holding me back from saying these are as good for running as they are for cycling is that they're designed to fit best in cycling positions. They fit best in that position but would probably do very well with running, otherwise

Not at all! I run and workout with these in everyday and love them. If you place then properly, its even difficult to pull them out (like if the cord gets caught on something). If you run at all, I suggest these. Great fit and sound. I only have 20% hearing in my left side and these are the only headphones that have good enough sound for me.

They are great they stay in place the short chord with an armband is perfect for running but you have the have the device on the left side no real biggie. The only problem would be bench pressing or workouts where you have to have your head down on the bench or mat dur to the wrap around nature of the band. the way the bud is designed it fits intothe ear canal (see pictures) and blocks out a lot of outside noise that can be good or bad for running on the road just be aware of your soundings as you should be with or with out headphones all in all very good read my review for more on them

Yes, they work well for running. I've had the new S9 HD for 2 mths now and I run several times a week with no problems with reception or shorting from sweat. You can wear them on your hip (= very good reception (music and phone)with little to no covering or major obstruction)) or on your arm with an armband (best reception, music and phone). I've found they work VERY well for running.

Absolutely. This is my main concern with purchasing any pair of headphones. I have slippery sweaty ears so finding a good pair for running has always been a challenge for me, but I have had no issues with these. I'll definitely be buying another pair when the ones I currently have no longer work. I highly suggest them.

They don't stay in with out the hooks. It's not a fault, it's just the way they're shaped. Runners do better with a behind the head Bluetooth option, or one with a collar that rests on the shoulders.

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.

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

They fit fairly comfortably, but not particularly tight. Kinda depends on a lot of things. Personally, I'd stick to ear buds or over ear(as opposed to over head) headphones for running/ jogging.

Actually I would not recommend these for runners. I would recommend the Klipsch X10s instead. These fit deepand comfortably into the ear and sound better than Bowers $ Wilkins

I have a set that I wear each week (meaning that a pair of socks goes through the wash each week and gets used each week). I'm not an extreme runner (I run about three - six miles a week), so I can't speak to how they were with a lot of running, but I bought mine over a year ago and they have held up very well.

That's why I bought these. I use them for running. So much better than earbuds because the headband supports them and keeps them from falling off. The cord is long enough to not get caught, and sound clarity is still great after 5 years. I've just worn out the foam pads.
