Thats what Ive been using mine for. I also used the Sony EX71s for the same thing. They seem to be okay. The only snafu with these headphones is that you need to put the cord around your ears. Not a big deal tho since you can snug up the cord under your chin a little.
My only concern is the longevity of the foam inserts in a sweaty enviroment. The rubber inserts should be excellent, just like the Sonys. Im a bit partial to the foam pieces so I hope they hold up okay, if not, theyre pretty cheap to replace I think.
