Customer Rating:      Summary: The Best Headphones for Runners Comment: I have had a set of the Sennheiser headphones for years and in that time my wife and daughter have gone through several other sets that had one ear or the other go out but mine rock on. Now we all have the PMX70's and love em. The are light fit great and if you run they are very easy to use. Highly recommend this product for comfort, durability, sound and just all around.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A good pick for the active Comment: Excellent pick for those who are looking for something that won't move out of place during intense workouts. In addition, it's very light that you forget it's there.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Too big and uncomfortable Comment: Attention others with small(ish) heads and ears: these headphones will be uncomfortable. The back piece kept hitting my back with each stride on the elliptical machine, and like others have mentioned, the ear buds will hurt your ears after a few minutes.
I was very disappointed.
Bottom line: Not for those with smaller heads and ears.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Headphones Comment: I use these head phones for working out. They are light and sound great. I don't think they have too much pressure.
The only complaint that I have is that even after wearing them for a couple of months the cord still wants to roll back up. It's not really that annoying since the cord is usually snaked down my shirt, but it can lead to some minor tangles in my gym bag.
I've never had a problem with them staying on and they seem very durable.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Sweaty Runner's Dream....No Joke!!! Comment: I am a runner. But to say I am a runner who sweats profusely would be a gross understatement. To give the reader the scope of my "sweat condition" - The only reason why I would even venture near a treadmill(and have had to do so of late)is when outside temperatures reach levels where I am unable to replenish my fluids at the rate which it is being lost. So this brings me to the headphones. Every so often a product comes along that fulfills a yearning that you have pretty much given up on. I have tried every headphone out there - you name it! One thing always happens after a few drops of sweat roll down to my ears - they fall out!! I had stopped running with head phones, and completely given up all hope of ever being able to so again, until I put on the Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line Stereo Neckband Headphones.Two, three, four miles later, the headphones remained in place, with no change in the sound quality. Simply AMAZING. You know, one thought comes to mind as I type these words: You can say what ever you want about the Germans, but what no one can dispute is their ability to deliver quality products. I was so blown away by the quality of this product that I went looking to see if the company is publicly traded - Private, unfortunately.
In terms of the complaints other reviewers have with regards to the pain -- it was non-existent for me. I have small to medium size ears, so that could be a reason why I didn't experience any pain. And even if I did, it would be no problem whatsoever bearing the pain until my ears got use to the headphones. I am very pleased.
