Customer Review: They don't fall out!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried many different types of ear buds and headphones with hooks that go over my ears, and these stay in my ears better than any of them. You know when you're on a treadmill at a gym and you're plugged into the console to watch TV and your arm accidentally swings into the wire? That ALWAYS means the headphones are going to get yanked out of your ears...except with these! The Twist-to-fit headphones stay in. It's awesome! Just make sure you look at the diagram on the package to make sure you're putting them in correctly. They're not extremely comfortable, but that doesn't bother me. The fact that I don't always feel like they're going to slip out when I'm sweating at the gym more than makes up for that. If you're looking for comfort, then use these when you're moving/running/excercising and get another pair for sitting by the pool. I use these whether I'm exercising or not because the comfort issue isn't a problem. I ordered two more pairs in case these break or get lost. Well worth it if you have a problem keeping regular earbuds in your ears.Customer Review: Pretty happy with these suckers - but not for you if you need noise reduction!
Summary: 5 Stars
These things are great... when I saw them I thought they pop into your ear like most earphones do, but they don't... that top tiny round part kind of pushes into the upper cove of your ear (you keep twisting til it comfortably fits). This keeps the earphone from shifting or anything, but then you get away from that awful feeling of pushing something INTO your ear (which is nice!).
It's perfect for me, because I bought them for work, where I still want to be able to hear what's goin on around me a bit. However if you're tryin to block the world out, you'll have to turn the volume up a bit. That's not to say they don't block outside noise, they do - just not like noise reduction headphones (which I used to use at work and got tired of because I couldn't hear ANYTHING around me).
Customer Review: Interesting design - but I like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always have a hard time finding earphone that work for me. I wear glasses so I can only use ear buds; but I seem to have smaller ears so it's hard to find comfortable buds that are good quality. I was not too sure I would like this set of ear phones, it seemed to be an odd design. I was concerned they would not fit my small ears, thankfully they come with different size fittings so they are very customizable. It took a bit of fiddling - I tried all the fittings for a full workout, and eventually found a setup that works perfectly for me.
They work well when I listen to loud music while working out, and equally well when I listen to books while cleaning the house. A perfect set of earbuds for me.
Customer Review: A great set of earbuds at an attractive price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had so much trouble getting my iPod headphones that I got with the iPod to stay in my ears at the right angle when I'm out walking or doing things around the house. I had purchased a couple different brands over the years but either they didn't stay in place or if they did, the sound quality wasn't as good as the original. These earbuds fill the bill on both counts - they stay in place with a little twist and the sound quality is as good as my original Apple earbuds that came with the iPod. They're also very comfortable, more so than any other earbuds I've tried so far.
So I have to say that these headphones do everything they're advertised to do and you sure can't beat the price.
Customer Review: MX55: Excellent sound
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is for Sennehiser MX55 Street w/o volume control (the least expensive of the three models listed on this page; the other two are MX55V and MX75). I have no issues with twist-to-fit, but then, I don't have problems with the fit of other earbuds either. What I got this pair for is the sound. The sound is excellent. It has a much better bass response than Sennheiser MX660 (top of the line drivers of the "classic" earbud line). The bass is just right. (By the way, using foams is necessary to get a good bass.) Highs are balanced and not shrill. Channel separation is not perfect, but consider the price. I find that the regular rubber ring works best for me. I definitely recommend this product.
