Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sennheiser MX 55 Ergonomic Twist-To-Fit Earbuds
Customer Review: Decent Buy!
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as sound goes, I have no qualms. I've always been a fan of Sennheisser.
The twist-to-fit system makes the design sound a little more sophisticated than it actually is...but it works.
The case that comes with the headphones is excellent. It may be time consuming to use, but the care is worth it.
These are not earbuds so they don't fit inside the ear to provide maximum sound inhibition. However that may suit the user's preference.
The accessories (silver/blue casing) fall off easily. I'd only had the headphones a week when I lost the left side casing.
Customer Review: Hurts so good
Summary: 3 Stars
These live up to their billing: they stay in your ears. Unfortunately, they HURT. You can move them around a bit and kinda balance them on the edge of falling out to reduce the discomfort but it would be nice if someone would invent ear buds that stay in the ears without pain. Still, I prefer these to all others I've tried that fall out when I move my head. I listen to audiobooks and the sound quality of these is fine for this purpose. I doubt any ear buds deliver great sound. I'd buy these again because I will put up with some discomfort to ensure the buds stay put.Customer Review: Fantastic earphones!
Summary: 4 Stars
These show how good mp3 can be. The fidelity is as good as could possibly be expected in any head/earphones for less than $100. And for $15? Wow.
I have a feeling all the fitting pads they give you are overkill unless you have some of Dumbo's genes. The twist-to-fit concept is great for those of us who don't like sticking things into their ear canals and leaving them there for hours at a time. The only disappointing thing I can find is that the wire is awfully light weight, but at this price it's probably worth stocking up on them for when the inevitable occurs.
Customer Review: Won't fall out of small ears!
Summary: 4 Stars
FINALLY, headphones that won't fall out of my (apparently small?) ears at slightest provocation! I have honestly tried four other types of "sports" and "active" headphones, and each pair has successfully contributed to the run for 30 seconds, adjust, run for 40, adjust.. give up, just run to ESPN golf that that other guy insists on having on at the gym scenario. You know what I'm talking about.
This pair finally stays in owing to the "twist" geometry, which allows you to twist until you find a snug and comfortable fit for your own ears. AH! Genius!
Customer Review: All ears are different
Summary: 2 Stars
Seemed like a smart design... until I tried it in MY ears. This is the risk of purchasing something you cannot try before you buy. I found the headphones just couldnt sit comfortably in my ears for more than about 20 minutes, albeit a "smart" design that apparently stays firmly in place better than others - I took them out after a short while reverting to my older "in ear" soft type. I'd recommend buyers just be sure they know their ear - which can only be after trying out a few designs, and losing some - then looking at finer features like sound quality etc.
