Definitely a no-no for me, as I need a headset to use also while running.
I know, I was aware of that issue too before I got mine, but if you dig around a little deeper, you'll find that the water problem was only with the first batch (the one that came out in 2010). The current batch, which I think was available from late 2011 or 2012, doesn't have that problem.

Where I live they sell both types, which look identical but can be differentiated by the packaging.

I also use mine when I'm on the treadmill or out walking to work when it's been drizzling, and I've had no problems in the five months I've had it.
