Review on 🎧 Ultimate Performance: Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Duro Plus Cloth Cords Sport Earbuds by Rachel Ford

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very sensitive to sweat

Fit, sound and looks okay, no complaints. They sit very well in the ears and do not cause any discomfort. Ideal for a quick trip to the gym or other air-conditioned workouts. Here's the rub, the mic isn't waterproof. During my first run outside on a warm, sunny day (6 miles), my music kept changing/stopping and my voice control was kind of constantly activating/deactivating. Having had this issue with other high end/audiophile (read: sophisticated and sensitive) headphones in the past, I decided to seal them with waterproof tape before the next run. On the second run (6.9 miles) they had the same problem. Sweat got on the mic/control switch even though it was sealed. Not only did my music stop a couple of times, my running app got interrupted due to the mic/control switch failing so I lost my workout data :( Bottom line these are great headphones for light exercise or cool conditions or maybe for Skiing? But don't expect to get sweaty wearing them without serious equipment failure. Wouldn't buy again. Funny thing is I found a pair of headphones at the hospital gift shop for about $6 Bought and while they look and feel cheap they've never failed through sweat.

Pros
