 Good sound quality but hurt my ears September 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this product because I thought it would twist and fit in my ears, however I found that these earphones are not suitable for small ears. Even though they remained in my ears and did not fall out while I was running, I found that after approximately half an hour the top bud hurt my ears and I never got accustomed to them. The sound quality however what quite good but I cannot use these headphones for an extended period of time.
 Best headphones I have found for running September 20, 2008
When I look for headphones to run with, I look for something that is cheap (since they'll be getting drenched with sweat), and comfortable. I've pretty much gone with earbud headphones in the past, and it used to be that them falling out and always adjusting them was a fact of life. Not anymore.
I have no problem with these falling out or moving around. The included bag of accessories is very helpful. There are soft earbud covers, and also a larger rubber shroud to replace the one that comes on the earbud already. In addition, there are six replacement discs in three different sizes for the top piece, to help accommodate different ear sizes. I've had no problem wearing these on my long runs which easily go over 90 minutes.
Sound quality certainly seems to be good, although you could say that bass is a bit lacking. Honestly, sound quality is not a factor for me when I'm running, since the music isn't really that essential for the run. I'm certainly not going to buy expensive headphones to have them fail.
Price is definitely the main thing that got me to buy these.... I got them at $7.99 with free shipping (through Prime), and they're currently only $12.99, which is very low for headphones. The cheapest I've ever really bought headphones is $6-8, so spending a little bit more for something that I'm going to be happier with isn't a big deal for me.
I wouldn't recommend any other headphone over these for running, there's simply no need. If you're looking for something a bit fancier, check out Sennheiser's other twist to fit headphones (such as the MX 75)
Good fit, best price September 19, 2008
Can't comment on music listening quality, only do Audible books with an MP3 Creative V100. These lasted almost two years of rough treatment. Agree with reviewer who complained about rubber rings coming off, was often searching the bedsheets for missing pieces, they pop right back on. Love the in-line volume control and the "twist to fit". Just ordered my second pair - best value for the price.
 Average sound, substandard construction. September 19, 2008
The sound is 'okay' for a cheap pair of headphones but not stellar. No matter what I do, I can't get a decent comfortable 'fit' with their design. After a couple months, my pair started falling apart (the bud covering, silver plastic piece on the back fell off and won't stay on). I guess you get what you pay for so I shouldn't complain too much. But I wouldn't recommend these.
Sennheier MX75 for Working Out September 16, 2008
Great headphones for anyone who loves listening to music while working out. The Twist to Fit design keeps the headphone firmly in the ear even under the most active workout. The right headphone is longer than the left so it has the ability to wrap around your head keep the wires out of your way. The length of the overall wire is a bit longer allowing you plug into a device on a treadmill. The only complaint is that the green rubber discs that hold the headphone can come lose and get lost. Overall its a A+ product.
