 Sports headphones that work! December 11, 2008

I have tried other "sports" headphones (the ones that hook over the top of your ear) and they just don't stay in place while running. These, on the other hand, are FANTASTIC!
I received them a day before I took part in a 15k cross country race - a perfect opportunity to test them thoroughly! They didn't move an inch once I'd put them on - excellent! Given that they were so cheap they sounded pretty good too. This was probably because they fitted so well and stayed there throughout the race. The provided cable clip is handy too.
Great sports headphones that actually stay in place. This is an excellent price also (They still sell the older green PMX70 model in my local Apple reseller for £39.99!)
Brilliant Headphones December 25, 2008

These really are the best headphones I have ever purchased, and I have owned numerous pairs. All of the pairs I have bought before I have used to listen to music while out running, and frankly, all were useless. None would actually stay in my ears without coming out, and while they were of good sound quality e.g. the iPod in-ear headphones, they just wouldn't secure in place without at least coming out once during a run.
For all you runners out there, these headphones are a dream. You know how annoying it is for them to come out and then have to replace them into your ear while running. They stay firmly in your ear due to a little band of sturdy plastic which connects both of them around the back of your head, aswell as clipping over the ears which ensures they will stay in place.
The sound quality is also brilliant, giving good bass response. One word of warning though, once they are in your ears and you are listening to music, you will find it is very hard to hear anything of the outside world! Though I judge this as a good thing as I run in parks and don't need to worry about anything that requires special attention e.g. traffic.

I got these headphones almost a week ago today. I was quite unsure about buying them at first as many people have said they are uncomfortable and that they shouldn't be used for long periods of time. I decided to go with my gut instinct and order them and they arrived two days later in perfect condition.
The eco-rugged style means that they come in a box thats basically a lot of cardboard bent into a case with a slip on cover. Inside I found: The headphones, some foam speaker covers (the small circular ones that used to come with ipods), a clip to fit on and some information about them. All of which was in perfect working order. The covers are quite hard to fit over the speakers at first as they are quite large speakers then are connected straight to the main frame. After putting everything on I then went out to test them.
I am a skateboarder and I bought the headphones so that they don't get yanked out of my ears every time a turn my head. I have quite large ears and in-ear headphones aren't very useful as they slip out. I had read about clip on headphones but they are apparently really uncomfortable and I really wanted some proper headphones that wouldn't keep falling out. I had received a new ipod a few days ago so I have some normal headphones but I decided to go with neckband heaphones and found that the PMX80 were the highest reviewed.
There headphones work perfectly with my ears. They are a perfect fit so they never fall out or get yanked out and I can now skate for a long time without being interrupted by headphones. In regards to some of the other issues raised - namely the uncomfortableness - I found that after a short time of wearing them in they are perfect. The headphones are slanted and point into your ears which would obviously cause some people to find them annoying. They have the same level if not better sound than general ipod headphones. I wouldn't recommend these for anything but sport as the headphones aren't practical on a day to day basis but if your a runner or enjoy a gym work out or maybe even skating like me, I would definitely advise these on the basis that they are a good fit. I wouldn't advise them for anyone with small ears as they are large speakers. I really love them so I have given them 5 stars

These are the best headphones for exercise... bar none.
I'll keep it short & sweet.
I've tried lots of different types, and none (including Sennheiser's other models) are anywhere near as good.
They sound great, and they stay rock-solid on your head.
Dont waste your money trying others... for running, these really are the only ones worth bothering with.
Perfect for running January 17, 2009

I agree totally with the other reviewers. These headphones are excellent for sport. The ear plug type I found constantly drop out but these are very well designed and the spring in the head band keeps the head phones in the ear. They are very comfortable too.
The sound is very good indeed and much much improved over the ipod ear plug type and similar sharp ones I've tried. I can't really fault them at all. The other reviewers comment about them not fitting in the pocket as well is true but I use them for running so I tend to keep them in a spare kit bag pouch. I'll definitely be recommending these to my running friends.
