Do you use your AirPods during exercise?

Just wondering if people use their AirPods to exercise and, if so, have you had any issues due to sweat damaging them?

Does Apple cover damage from sweat under warranty?

Thanks in advance.

They aren’t sweat proof and nowhere does Apple state they are.

"AirPods Pro, AirPods 3, and AirPods 4 (both models) are sweat and water resistant, but they are not waterproof or sweatproof."


So they should not be used for exercise as you will sweat and this may damage them and they are not covered under warranty for this damage?

I assumed from adverts with people wearing them to dance and exercise that they could take it. I would say it's false advertising but the response would be that they are sweat resistant. So they can resist sweat up to an undefined point but they aren't sweatproof so at some point it will damage them, therefore, AirpPods should not be used for anything that you will sweat. This would include hot days.
