 why not go for the PX 100? July 28, 2010
mikiels
I had been looking for a means to listen to music during running -up to 1,5 to 2 hours in one go. First got myself an ipod. Problem was that the earbuds included with that ipod purchase fell out after a while and sound quality was not sufficient.
So I started looking for an alternative and considered sport headphones. I also wanted the headphones to be comfortable and also to the extent possible produce a good quality, i.e. better than the standard earbuds. After reading reviews of sport headphones I decided not to by sport headphones like these. Reason is that some people complain about how ears hurt after a while and about poor(er) sound quality.
I bought myself the Sennheiser(s) PX 100. I am really pleased with them. Sound is great -mainly the bass is nice- and they stay on while running and moreover are very comfortable. Pro is also that the sound is ambient so you can still hear sound from outside. Re sweat: yes it goes into the foam of the headphones, but this does not bother, i.e. it does not go into your ears. And after I finish, I take the foam thingies off and I wash with water and that does the job. So, for those who are in doubt about whether to purchase sport headphones, I would say consider also the PX 100 as they serve at least as well and probably also cost less.
 Uncomfortable July 26, 2010

I am searching for a durable earphone that I can use while running. I hoped these would be the answer but because they are so incredibly uncomfortable I can't bear to wear them. I am use to in-ear styles earphones but find they slip during running and therefore require a lot of adjustment. The behind the neck styling and snug fit are great but you need to be able to tolerate the pain to wear these. I tried these while running four times for about 45 minutes each time and just couldn't get past the pain they created. I started dreading going for a run while using these so I just stopped listening to music altogether while these were my only sound option for running.
They also don't cancel sound so when running along noisy streets you need to adjust the volume extrememly loud and then on quiet streets you need to adjust the volume again. So ultimately I found myself fiddling with the volume as much as I use to be fiddling with the slipping earbuds so I had traded fiddling with the earpiece for fiddling with the volume control.
They are sturdy and tolerate the sweating but now they just sit on the counter.
Good product, questionable seller July 25, 2010

I've had Sennheiser before and they are top notch. My last pair lasted 4 years. I hope I get even half of that from this pair. My only issue with the product is that it looks like it's a return, and I wasn't notified I was getting a used product prior to purchase. The way the cord was secured in the packaging was pretty suspicious. The tape inside the plastic bit that held the earphones is really yellowed which looks like it's pretty old and it wasn't securing anything. Next time I buy these, it won't be from Amazon. I've never had any problems with buying here until now. And I've used Amazon for YEARS. I do buy used items, but only books and CD's and I know I'm buying used when I make the purchase. I wish I had bought the service warranty now, but oh well. They sounded great when I used them today so let's hope they hold up. Makes me wonder why they were returned in the first place. What's wrong with them?
 good but failed on a couple of problems July 25, 2010
Donald Hill
At first sight and use these were good but I encountered a couple of issues. I did like them having a long cord. The problems I encountered was the failure of the right ear piece. I think it had something todo with the wring inside the plug. The sound was also an issue at high sound became very tinny, this was only happening on the right side so maybe was due to the right ear failing.
The other issue I had was they caused light popping of my ear drum. I perspire a lot and this caused kind a seal between the headset and my ear canal which caused some discomfort or like a ear drum pop, it was livable but annoyed me.
Not for me July 22, 2010
Bridget Kamm (Hackettstown, NJ United States)
I always have trouble with the ear-bud style of headphones (they fall out, hurt my ears or sound terrible) so I thought I'd try this wrap around style instead. I was not impressed. The band around the neck and the ear loops are very comfortable. However, the piece that actually goes in the ear seemed very large to me and actually hurt my ears after just a few minutes. Additionally, the cord on the pair I received had a short in it. Sound cut in and out on one side and then just died all together. The other side kept functioning but I'm unable to give a valid sound review since I only heard through both earphones for about 5 seconds. I am returning my pair to the seller and will hopefully get a refund. I have other Sennheiser headphone products that I absolutely love but this one was a mjor dissapointment.
