Customer Review: Best running headphones I have ever seen.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've spent countless hours researching to find the perfect pair of running headphones. I spent alot of money over the past several years trying to find headphones that do two things, and two things only:
1. Stay on my head
2. Sound decent
I've tried every style out there, from earbuds to over the ear hooks, to behind the head styles. I've tried several different brands of each, every time unable to find a pair that stays on my head. The best so far was a phillips brand over the ear earbud type. They stayed on my ears, but once I would get to 3 or 4 miles on the road, my ears would be sweating so bad they would just pop out. I was constatnly having to fidget with them so I could hear the music.
I just got this pair last week, and reluctantly took them on my Satruday morning 10 miler. One hour and 22 minutes later, THEY STAYED ON MY HEAD!!!! I was amazed that at the end of my workout, I didn't have to mess with my headphones one single time. The sound quality was also great, much better than the phillips I had been using. Not too much treble, just the right amount of base and clear, crips sound.
If you are a runner, these headphones are perfect for you. I can now clean out my drawer of 20 pairs of headphones.
Customer Review: If you run, get these!

I've tried almost every single brand and was about to give up alltogether on the idea that Ipod and running could be combined.
I tried JVC, Sony, Koss and even the original earphones that came with my Nano. The Koss earphones actually stayed on for about 5 minutes... I decided to try these Sennheiser after reading some of the reviews.
They fit right the first time (after trying on the different adaptors) and I actually went through my complete run without re-adjusting, putting them back on or removing them alltogether.
I thought I was being lucky... but run after run after run they stay on, period.
Like other reviewers, I don't understand the shortness of the left cable nor the color choice, but tell you what... I don't care! The cable is a little bothersome the first few times, but the earphones actually stay on, people! I also sweat more than average, so we'll see in the future about the water resistant claim, but, let me repeat... these things actually stay on!
I don't know anything about sound to know if these are better or not than the others. The Koss I think provided the best sound, but if they fall out of your ears, there's no sound to begin with!
If you run, these (hopefully) are the last ones you buy!
Customer Review: 100% happy

If you're like me and have been looking for an affordable pair of durable head phones then these are for you!
i don't really see why others are complaining abut the buds being uncomfortable or not fitting b/c there are so many adjustment you can make, but for me the way they came right out of the packaging was the best fit. it doesn't seem like these will have the same problem Ive been having with other pairs ( around the jack the connection goes bad b/c of constant plugging and unplugging ) b/c of the higher gauge wire.
as for the sound quality im no expert but they sound great, i mean its not the quality you would get out of a pair of $100+ ear buds but they do the job nicely and they are sufficient for everyday listening or working out.
for me the color was a bonus, i just love the green they come in, but its not for everybody, if you don't like the color there is a similar pair of head phones w/o the sweat resistance, thicker cable and lime green for about $10 less.
the only bad part of the purchase was the case, one of the magnets popped off about 10 min out of the box, but the silicone case is really obtrusive and useless so i doubt i would have used it anyways...
Customer Review: They Stay In!

If you are reading this, you are probably like I was... fed up with headphones that fall out of your ear when you were running. I had tried numerous different headphones with no luck. I recently purchased the Sennheiser MX75 Twist-to-fit heaphones. They absoultely stay in and I am so happy. The way the headphones work is that the wierd knob you see above the earphone fits inside/pushes against your outside ear lobe, thus putting continous pressure against the ear phone piece that is inside your ear. How simple but genius! The phones come with different pieces to allow the phones to better fit your ear. You will have to use trial and error. Overall, the sound quality is alright... nothing amazing... but what can you expect from any headphone. It is pretty hard to produce incredible sound with a tiny speaker... especially bass. All I was looking for was a pair of headphones that would stay in my ear during the entire run (and wouldn't require periodic "messing around" with them as I was running). Mission accomplished! The ONLY complaint I have is that the cord really is twisted due to how it was packaged, which is annoying... hopefully that will go away over time.Customer Review: Best workout/exercise headphones EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
That's not hyperbole, I've tried many different brands (2 kinds of Apple earphones, 2 models of Sony, Nike, even the Shure E3c)...as an avid recreational athlete (triathlon/cycling/running primarily...but also weight training/hiking)these headphones hit the "sweet spot" of very good sound/durability/water & sweat resistance/comfort/staying put while you excercise! I am a profuse sweater, and the Sennheisers were the only headphones to handle all the sweat/bounce of heavy endurance athletics with NO problems whatsoever.
The Twist-to-fit system worked just as advertised (once you have the right size pads fitted), and I found the provided alligator clip very handy. As an example of how good these little guys are: I recently completed the Portland Marathon wearing them...and I didn't have to adjust/futz/worry about them at ALL. I can't give them ALL the credit...but I did qualify for Boston!!
Yeah, the "safety green" color is obnoxious (but you won't worry about losing track of them!) and the sound quality isn't as top-notch as the Shures (but they're $200 less!, but I think they're the best "sport" class headphones out there!
