Sweat Getting into Earbud -> volume decreases

Well, contrary to what some people have said I have used these successfully while jogging - the good thing about this is that the earbuds are sound isolating so it muffles out the exercise machine noise / other sound in the exercise room.

However, I've had a problem where sweat trickles into the ear and into the fabric plug of the earbud which is under the plastic lid. Once this happens, the sound on that side is really faint. Once it dries out though, it's fine again.

I'm going to keep on using these when jogging, but I wonder how long they'll last if it keeps on getting wet.

If anyone else has had water get into the earbud and had this problem / had the earbuds break because of this/ has a DIY fix for this like wrapping it with plastic??? I'd love to hear it...

I don't have this problem but saran wrap and a rubber band sounds like an ok solution.

I had these for literally @ 20 mins. for use with my 3gs. Never got out of the parking lot. They were charged and paired just fine but the sound quality was awful. Was I wrong? Do you guys like the sound quality of these things, sweat issues aside.
