Default Klipsch & work-outs

How do the different models of Klipsch perform as work-out headphones? I am thinking primarily the kind of work-out where you need a diversion: 1+ hrs of walking on an inclined treadmill, or fast paced walking outdoors, or jogging, or maybe biking or rowing on a Concept II.

The issues I am particularly interested in are
1. impact of sweat on the listening and wearing experience
2. insulation against noise from treadmill or rowing machine (or traffic)
3. need to crank up volume to hear clearly (related to point above), but especially for speech from movies; if speech is not intelligible, I am bound to crank up volume!
4. durability 1: fatigue, since the wire will be swinging back and forth under rhythmic movement
5. durability 2: strength, since accidents like snag do happen.
