Finally somebody got it right for Runners!!
By T. Boyle
Worth it!! I’ve been waiting for this item to come out on the market. I’ve gone through in regards to 5-6 pairs of dissimilar headsets. Earbuds would ALWAYS fall out after the firstborn 2 steps of running. I think I may have a little ear canal? I then tried ones that wrap around your ear. That was okay but then after long runs they would start out to get uncomfortable and hurt likewise the cord would snag if I turned my head.
This headset was a Very well thought out design. It uses 1 cord not 2 like alot of headphones out there. The cord is short possibly 18 inches long. This is nice because you don’t have to worry when it comes to a cable flopping around when you run. It likewise comes with an extension cable that connects to make it longer if you want and has a volume adjuster attached if you need to modify the volume on the fly. It fits very well and is very comfortable. I don’t feel it when I run. The sound quality is a big bonus. I’m happy with this buy and I know there are alot of runners out there that have the same problem I had. I hope this review helps.

Perfect for Aerobics & Running
By Hugemonster
I had in the first place tried a pair of the Senheiser PMX80 headphones and they fit so terrible I had to return them. They were way too tight and gave me a headache. Other persons said the same thing. These PMX 680′s are a vast betterment in each way. They fit better, sound better, and look better. To clarify, these are not Adidas headphones, but are Senheiser with an Adidas branding.

Good Build Quality, Sound Quality not Great
By Evan
The initial thing I want to comment on is the build quality. I have to assume humans getting these headphones are in all likelihood running or working out with them. I have never had a pair of headphones that fit comfortably while running. Ear buds fall out (I swear my right ear is misshapen and pushes earbuds out), around the head headphones are uncomfortable and the earpads get hot and sweaty, and even a cheap set of earbuds I purchased that are like the PMX680 and wrap around the ear didn’t fit right and had a tendancy to fall out frequently.
The PMX680 is with regards to as good as I may imagine for wearing while running. The headphones fit in the ear and do not budge, even if you give the cord a decent tug. The headphones themselves are made of flexible and light plastic that may in all likelihood take a gorgeous good beating but is reasonably unobtrusive. The earbuds sit just outside of the ear canal and are made of a sticky (through friction) silicone like substance, but come with optional foam pads which I choose to use. The earbuds may cause numerous discomfort, they are a little tight in the ear canal and put a reasonable amount of pressure on it. I don’t mind much because it isn’t noticeable once I get started running and even when I’m at work using the headphones at my desk it isn’t much of an issue. The cord seems like it is very sturdy at the connection web sites to the headphones and the plug. I can’t imagine it wearing out like other pairs of headphones have. The extension cord itself is also sturdy but the volume adjuster isn’t terribly utile and feels a little cheap, notwithstanding I wouldn’t consider it a very crucial feature. The headphones come with a clip to pin the cord to your shirt and prevent it from pulling when you move, the extension cable also has a clip on the volume adjuster as well. Both of these may be handy.
The reason I give these headphones a 3 is the price and sound quality prevent it from earning a higher score. For $60 I expected better sound from them. The stock “premium” headphones that came from my zune sound better than these. The bass is nice and breathtakingly punchy for earbuds, nonetheless the mids and high end sound weak and a little muffled. The sound quality is comparable, perchance a little better than an intermediate pair of $20-$30 over ear headphones off the shelf at a Target or Best Buy (which are overpriced headphones to start out with).
In spite of the disappointing sound quality I’m happy with the purchase. The PMX680 must last me evermore and sound quality isn’t my number 1 concern when I’m running anyway. I just don’t think they ought to be priced at $60. I suppose more from Sennheiser based on the brand’s reputation and other headphones I’ve had from them.
