Customer Review: finally earphones that stay in the ear
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried all kinds of different earphones while running, trying to find a pair that dont fall out every 1/4 mile. Every pair i've tried has been confined to the junk drawer by God's gift to me of smaller ears. I bought these a month ago and am happy to say that the search is over. I run three miles a day and they havent fallen out once in that month. They do feel a little uncomfortable the first time you put them on but that fades after about five minutes, especially when you realize that you havent had to break stride once to put them back in. I would recommend this for all runners and especially for people with ears shaped differently than what i guess most peoples are.Customer Review: OK, but nothing to get excited about
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the third set of Sennheiser headphones I have purchased and I have been disappointed in all three. I don't even know where the Twist- to-fit set is now. I used them the first day and I just don't see where all the excitement about them comes from. You can twist all you want but the things still won't stay in your ears. The last set of fit-in-your-ear type I bought were so large you would need ears as large as a jackass to put them in. They were Wayyyy toooo big for my ears, and people say I have large ears. The sound quaslity of all three is no better than much less expensive headphones. Anyone have suggestions on other brands to try?Customer Review: Great sound - slightly uncomfortable
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased these given the huge amount of reviews it received. I noticed the difference in sound between these and my old headphones immediately. It's pleasant, round, and full. With some songs, it sounded as if I were right there next to the artist.
They are slightly uncomfortable, maybe because I have smaller ears. I really like how they fit and stay put, but I wish they hurt less (it's bearable though). I did not have the "sweat dripping into my ear" problem, maybe because I don't sweat very much.
I would definitely recommend these to those with medium to large ears and to those who are not bothered by a little bit of discomfort.
Customer Review: Very good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
These twist-to-fit in-ear headphones didn't need the twist part for me. With the enclose foam covers they wedged in perfectly and I found them to be very comfortable and they stay in place on walks or working around the house without having to constantly push them back in.
The cord is a bit long but I hang the wires down my back so that doesn't bother me.
The sound quality is not the best but for the $15 price tag you can't go wrong.
The last thing was the description seemed to indicate there was a volume control but mine didn't have that. Otherwise, it looks pretty much like the picture.
Customer Review: Twist-will-not-Fit
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried almost all of the "holding system" parts to find a comfortable fit. A couple of combinations seemed to be OK to start, but over time became painful. The little nub that extends atop the bud only added to the discomfort. They do provide the openness needed to hear conversation and traffic sounds while working out. That feature, however, points to the lack of bass response and poor fit. The Basswind system is lacking at best. I have owned and worn the pads off of other Sennheiser headphones. I am very disappointed with this product. The Twist-to-Fit system is a gimmick and I would not recommend this headset.
