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: Snug Fit, Low Volume and Bass response
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these for the same reason as most of the other reviewers, I wanted them to wear while working out. For this purpose they work well. The fit is snug and stays in the ear with minimal movement. I am not sure this is due to the earphone design or the 10 cent clip that comes on the cord to keep it from moving around. This alone is a great improvement over other headphones in terms of keeping them in place.
Unlike another reviewer I like the cord. It is thicker than most headphones I have bought in the past and seems real durable. Since I wear out headphones quickly this is a good thing.
The problem I have with these headphones is the lack of volume and bass response. They are about half as loud as a pair of Philips headphones I bought for $9. The bass is even less impressive. Even when I turn the volume to the max setting on my player I can barely hear the music. I expected a much better quality sound from a Sennheiser product, even a sports model.
So, if you are looking for a snug fitting pair of earphones to wear while working out and are willing to sacrifice volume and sound quality then these are a good choice. Otherwise, I can't recommend them.
Customer Review: I hoped for a lot more, these were a dissapointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I needed to replace my gym headphones and decided on these because of the brand, engineering, color and style. I am returning them and going with something different, here is why.
Pros: cool colors, good name, lots of different sizes to make sure you get a good fit, they deliver good highs and mids
Cons: They do not go loud at all - I've had other headphones hooked up to my nano and they scream, even when turned up to the max these are just at a normal level, bearly loud, the bass response sucks, they sound cheap when the bass hits, the cord has a PERMANENT twist to it that CANNOT be straighened out, this means that the cord always has a curly look to it, hard to lay it flat, even tho the cord has a twist, the cord always tangles and you just end up stuffing it into the case that they come with, in other words, cord management is bad. They have a little rubber disc above the headphone speaker and you put them in and twist, the disc locks in your ear and they stay on pretty good, they do not fall out and they seem stable...but, after a while on MY ears the little disc started to give me discomfort and i took them out, so over all there arent as good as i hoped.
Customer Review: Great headphones for sport use
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these headphones to solve the problem of earbuds constantly falling out of my ears when exercising. The headphones will not fall out!
Some notes after several months of usage:
- These are sturdy! No problems with durability so far with sensible usage and storage.
- They're not as loud as the oem headphones that came with my Sansa Fuze. Bass is lacking... but then again if you're breathing hard and sweating, you won't even notice.
- These headphones fit fine for my wife & I, but one of our teenagers couldn't fit it right. Luckily the product comes with different size adapters, so you should be able to make this fit just about any ear.
- The twisting motion takes some getting used to. When removing the headphones, make sure to twist them out instead of pulling them straight out. You risk losing one of the green rubber pieces this way.
- The cord is shipped in a circle. And for some reason, it will not lose this shape... and therefore it loves to tangle itself. Especially with the clothing clip and the extra `horns` the headphones have, there's a lot of places to snag. You could spend a minute or two untangling the headphones before usage.
Customer Review: They Stay In!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
