No, they are not sweat resistant. Sony does NOT cover damage caused by perspiration in their Limited Warranty. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4599/40e69626689f987e884c7569427d0ed8/45991062M.pdf (found under https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wh-1000xm4#manuals) Under Sony's warranty it says: "This Limited Warranty does not cover products purchased from sources other than Sony or a Sony authorized dealer (including non-authorized online auctions), or issues due to:... (vii) contact with liquid, heat, humidity or perspiration, sand, smoke, or foreign materials" With that said, there are people that have no issues with sweat (even excessive sweat) while wearing them. So it's up to your discretion. But just be aware that Sony has covered their behinds if something goes wrong with your headphones since their exclusion of coverage is in writing. They won't replace it or service it for you for free.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi John, we appreciate your interest in the WH1000XM4. Unfortunately, the unit is not sweat resistant. If the proximity sensor part inside the left unit housing gets fogged up or there are water droplets on it due to condensation or humidity from sweat, etc., wearing detection may not work properly. It recommended to use the headphones with caution when working out. ~Ralph
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think so. i haven't seen anything in the reviews or the official announcement.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What are you talking about? I have the XM3s and go biking and jogging with them all the time and they don't slip off or anything. Sure they get a bit sweaty obviously but nothing you can't wipe off later..
