I just got a pair of Denon C700 myself and took them on a run last night for the first time...no problems here. I wore them with the cable over the ears so there were no microphonics. I also shortened the length of the cable where the left and right have separate wires...I just tied the two wires together with some black thread above the split point. This makes the phones sit very securely and there is no excess cable flopping around near the neck area. I also run the cable under my shirt. I don't find sweat a problem with earphones in general....even though I sweat I find that around the ears I don't....I just make sure to rinse the cable after every run as the salty sweat will eventually destroy the rubbery bits or so I have read somewhere.
All in all, given the limited time I had the phones so far, I am very happy with them. They are a bit big compared to my 2 other pairs of earphones and stick out more from MY ears, but the build quality is really superb so I don't mind that there is a bit more of them sizewise. B/c of their size they're not so suitable for sleeping unless you have a very soft pillow or lie mainly on your back.
Wrt cleaning the cotton wool like filter...I already had to do a bit of cleaning myself as I bought my pair second hand and the previous owner, let's say, left a bit of a personal note on them
. I used a dental pick to carefully remove the wax. Obviously it will help to clean/wash the sleeves regularly so that the built up of wax is kept to a minimum and thus will not reach the filters.
More impressions to come once I get more quality time with them....
