Customer Review: Great sound - a little scary
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product to listen to music / watch videos while on my bicycle trainer. My setup requires me to plug it at the back of my computer
The sound is great and the retention mechanism works as advertised.
The length of the cable is a little on the short side, but that may depend a lot on the use you plan for your product. More importantly, after working a good sweat I am sorry to report I got shocked. The headphones started buzzing and I felt a minor, but very clear, electric shock. Needless to say, the headphones went flying and have not been used since. People might point out that the likely culprit is my computer, not the headphones. All I can tell you is that the experience was a little scary.
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.Customer Review: Love the Fit!
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this Sennheiser after ordering a more expensive pair of Sennheiser earbuds for my husband for Christmas. When I first opened them, I was wondering if I would be able to get them to stay in my ear, but I have had no trouble at all. It takes a couple of times, putting them in and taking them out but you get the hang of it.
The case is cute, but it's a little bit of a hassle getting the headphones back in there.
But the most important thing is of course, the sound. Clear, precise, great bass.
I really like them and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an earbud alternative that fits securely and has a great sound.
