Can the Koss PortaPro 2s be used for jogging or running?

I am paticularly interested to know if they are resistant to sweat of if they will get ruined if I run in the rain w. them.

I've owned PortaPros and I bet they would work great for jogging and exercise in general.

I don't know how much sweat will hurt them, but I don't know if there are any headphones that are waterproof. Running in the rain is fun, but it might not be as safe with headphones, and the rain may ruin your headphones in when you try.

I doubt headphones built like the PortaPro would incur any damage from rain. I suppose the pads might deteriorate and the headband could corrode, but that seems unlikely unless they got wet constantly and over a long period of time.

Koss Porta Pro 2s stick to my head like glue when I'm running my <5:30 mile, so they should work for you.

As for the rain, I would not recommend using them for any duration in soaking wet weather...

Sweat should be fairly harmless, however.

I'd highly recommend the Porta Pros for listening during vigorous exercise.

Thanks to all for the replies.

I use the portapro 1 when I'm running, no problems at all.
