Sweatproof Earbuds?

[bjoehandley]

Does anybody make earbuds that don't short out when you start to sweat heavily? I've had 3 pairs that do this and managed to kill the factory iPod ones this way while doing cardio type stuff.

I use the Apple In-Ear Headphones when I'm running on the treadmill and haven't had a problem. I'd bet the Skullcandy ones are the same.

Also I just got a set of Fuze custom molded for the bike, might give that a go while working out as well.

Skull candy ftw! I have a pair hanging around my neck right now. Never had a problem out of them. This is the same pair I've had for almost a year now and I use them for about 6 hours a day 6 days a week at work.

For what it's worth...

Apple In ear Headhpones

Those are a bit different than what I have as mine are a few years old. It's basically the same theory as the Skullcandy ones with the soft silicone cup with a small speaker set back from the ear.

Fuze Phones I don't have any sweat durability reports on these but they will stay in your ear no matter what! When I'm running I occasionally have to push on the in ears to get them back in place.

Thanks Guys, Looks Like Skull Candy's Are The Way To Go Between You Guys And R/C Crawler!

Those are nice, but even at that price way more than I'm willing to spend on earbuds for exercising.

I know, but the way I sweat, I just can't justify that kind of expenditure on these.
