Headphones/earbuds shorting out from sweat

It was these: http://www.jbl.com/yurbuds-sport-headphones/INSPIRE+300+WOMEN.html?cgid=yurbuds-sport-headphones&dwvar_INSPIRE 300 WOMEN_color=Blue#start=1

I found an online coupon though and got them for around $20.00.

I have these. I get pretty sweaty there and they stay put nicely. I even run in the rain with them with no problem. You won't get the sound quality of a $300 pair, but they are good enough. THey also came with different sized/shape tips so you can pick which you like best. amazon.com/dp/B00P05PTSI/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1434053223&sr=1&keywords=earbuds

I feel like I'm a pretty sweaty person. Maybe this has never happened to me because I've never had headphones last more than a month with my cat trolling for a chew toy.

I've never had a pair short out from sweat but my cat loves to chew on earbud cords and manages to wrestle one about once a month. I buy the Philips earbuds at Target for $15 and they suit me just fine.

Maybe I have unusually sweaty ears. Gross. Sorry.

I'm with ya! I had this exact problem a few months ago and I asked the question on another thread. I ended up with JBL's as well. So far so good. They stay in my ears MUCH better than my Apple ones and they were only like $20.00. I sweat a lot and these are working well. I'll see if I can find exactly which ones I bought...

There are at least three of us and maybe more! Haha

Glad to hear from a few that the JBLs are worthwhile. Thanks!

They have to be better than my Dollarama earbuds! Thanks!

Maybe, but either way, you could live without concern in the absence of knowing you're sweaty-eared for a true fact. Bless your cat.
