Has anyone found a pair of wireless earbuds that can hold up through sweaty workouts? I bought a pair of Beats headphones last year and a year later I've been through 4 refurbished pair...never again. I was going to try out the Bose earbuds but after reading reviews online it seems they have the same issue, once you sweat on them a few times they crap out. TIA

LG Active and Active+ are both very nice and sweat resistant

I have a pair of JBird freedoms that are 4yrs old. I will buy another pair of them when these die.

I have the Jaybird X2's and love them. The X3's are the latest version out, I believe.

My old corded Sennheiser earbuds were fantastic, but recently started to die after 3-4 years of sweaty workouts.

I just ordered a pair of Senso wireless earbuds from Amazon. They have great reviews and are bargain priced.

Ordered a pair this morning. The only negatives I saw were a few people thought the bass sometimes drowned out the mids and highs. How does the sound compare to the more expensive pairs?

I figured with Amazon's return policy, it was worth a shot on trying them.

I have tried several. Including the expensive Jaybird bluebuds, which I even recommended here in the past.

Now I love the cheap MPOW Cheetah's. With the way they are designed, I couldn't get them to shake out of my ears if I tried, even if I was soaking from sweat. Sound quality may not be the best, but I don't need Hi-fidelity when working out. And they are cheap enough that if they break, I will just get another pair from Amazon.

I haven't had that issue, my only drawback is the chord is a little longer than I'd like, but they don't fall out and I've gotten used to it

Jaybirds > anything else. Had a pair survive a wash/dry cycle in my shorts pocket. They stay in through the midst intense workout sessions and the sound is great.

ODT Orcas aren't terribly expensive, last forever, and sound pretty good compared to higher priced options. You can usually find them on sale if u look around online

This. What exactly are you doing to them? I've had mine for close to 2 years now and I absolutely love them, I've had 0 problems with them.

I do a lot of circuit training and cardio and I sweat like a whore in church. I think the sweat dripping on them has caused them to short out. In two of the pairs I've had the power button quit working. Another pair just quit charging after a few months. I will never buy another product from Beats. The first pair lasted 3 months I think.

might have to give these a go. If they're good enough for BilJette, they're good enough for me
