GREAT HEADPHONES July 21, 2008
I bought these headphones a few days ago to replace the headphones i have for my Nokia N95 and so far they're worh every penny.
The sound quality is great and a good fit. The only snag is that i have found that they dig in my ear a little bit, but that's just me being fussy. I will put some of the ear covers on them just to make them that little bit better, but by no means let this put you off.
For the price, they're great and you won't be dissapointed!
 Don't waste your money on any others! July 20, 2008
I recently bought a set of these headphones for running. Three sets of sports headphones later and I now have a great pair that firmly stay in place. The neckband is not adjustable but seems to fit all sizes - rugby players included!
Superb Headphones for Sports July 19, 2008
I'd bought an ipod for running as my phone was getting a little battered, I was getting tired of having to hold it in my hand and I thought with the ipod being lighter, I could knock a few seconds off my 5k (not really).
ipod is a great gadget but how disappointed was I with the sound quality - lack of bass and the white headphones / earpieces were uncomfortable. They were uncomfortable before I tried running in them and excrutiatingly annoying and uncomfortable on a short run. My choice was simple; bin the ipod and revert to my nokia phone, or try a better set of headphones.
a) looks - superb. Okay you need to like green, but they look the part. I'd suspect that most folks who buy these do so because of the sport element - you're average sportsperson doesn't bother about garish colours (take a look through a sports goods website!)
b) comfort - you forget you have them on. They fit snuggly into my average size / shape ears, there is a decent (but comfortable) amount of pressure to keep the phones securely in your ear.
c) sound - put it this way, I'm keeping my ipod now - my nokia phone is now retired to being just a phone, because the sound through the PMX70s is spot on. The snug fit keeps the bass in, and the road and wind noise out.
The cable is a decent length (1.2m), I personally haven't experienced any need to readjust whilst out running, nor do I find them restrictive when turning to look over my shoulder as I cross roads or check that a cyclist isn't about to mow me down.
These are my first Sennheisers, and they won't be my last.
Great design and high quality sound July 14, 2008
Like many other people, I just wanted something low maintenance for jogging or gym. These headphones fit the bill and the sound quality (quite often a bugbear on previous sports headphones) is superb. You will still need a normal pair of in-ear phones for train or plane use however, if you like to lie you head back while listening, as the plastic arm protrudes from the rear of your head when you are wearing them.
 Highly disappointed. July 10, 2008

I read lots of good reviews on this item before I bought it. I'm afraid it has been a disappointment. After one year of medium intensity gym usage it fell apart.
From far it looks quality, but get closer and you find that the material is cheap. Big screws securing the drives to the neckband are off-putting. It didn't take long before they started rusting badly.
Sound quality is average. Sound volume is hugely disappointing for such well sized drive. You have to turn up the volume to get decent power, and the bass is also quite disappointing.
Neckband repeatedly clips the back of the collar of my running jacket - hugely annoying.
The rubber band around the drive could not handle heat and sweat, kept loosening and in the end it took the cover of the drive with it.
If sweat gets into your ear, the sound is lost or you hear a waffling noise.
It is awkward to store, if you are packing your bag to gym regularly.
Overall it was just just acceptable quality, until it fell apart.
I have been using the Philips SHS8000 for a few days now, and I must say it looks, feels, sounds, and fits miles better than the Senn PMX70
