Nice addition to your gym bag... October 26, 2006

I ordered these headphones for a pretty specific purpose, to use with a DVD player at the gym, mostly on the treadmill. My audio expertise falls into the "I know what I like" catagory. Here's my take on the MX75s:
Fit: I think how good they fit is really going to be dependent on the shape of the user's ears. For me those extra 'nubs' don't add to the fit, but the headphones fit nicely and securely. They come with an assortment of plugs and rings to help customize the fit. They are quite comfortable.
Sound: They sound quite nice. I wouldn't say the bass was ample, but I would call it adequate. The sound was clean, and like some headphones, didn't vary drastically every time you move your head. I didn't buy these so much for sound quality as for other factors, but they certainly don't suffer there. They are not as efficient as other headphones, meaning it requires more power to get the same volume. Again, it is not something to worry about.
Other: I wanted something that I could sweat on and not have die on me. Since I just got them, I can't comment on that yet, but they're supposed to stand up against harsh environments. We'll see. The design of the wire is one where the right side wire is longer than the left. Personally I like it when both sides are equal length, but no big deal. And they only come in green. I happen to have a green ipod mini, so there's a stroke of fashion luck. The cord is about 4'. Again, I could have used an extra foot, and someday someone will figure out a novel way to keep them untangled.
I think you'll find these to be just as advertised. I'm quite happy with my purchase.
Also, the price seems to vary a lot. I paid $34 from Amazon, and now they're $42. If you're not in a hurry, you might want to put them in your shopping cart and check back to see when the price changes (a little Amazon shopping tip).

Wow, these are great! I suffer from Sweaty Ear, which causes normal earbuds to fall out after about 5 minutes of any physical activity. And, of course, regular earbuds fall out at the slightest provocation, which turns my run into a freakish stop-and-go of adjusting my earbuds, running for a minute, stopping to adjust the earbuds again, wiping the sweat off my ears to see if that helps, and finally just taking the damn things out in a fit of frustration, and running the rest of the way without any music.
Well, these little things are a thousand times better than any regular earbuds I've tried - they have a little stalk that comes up behind the earbuds, with a little nubbin that goes into your ear, effectively wedging the things into your OUTER ear (as opposed to just driving them further into your ears, which would be painful). And they stay there! I demonstrated for my husband when they first arrived, head-banging and jumping up and down and pretending to run and skip and move from side-to-side. And the things stayed in!
I figured I couldn't judge them quite yet, because I hadn't been running for 30 or 40 minutes to work up a serous sweat. But I have done so since then, and these stay in! It's weird at first, because if you've used earbuds in the past, you will be prepared to move them around every minute or 5. But you won't have to! And the cord-flapping problem, which will cause normal earbuds to be yanked out of your ears, is solved by a little clip that you can use to clip the top part of your headphones to your shirt. There is a LOT of cord included with these - I just ended up wrapping the extra cord around my ipod armband, which worked nicely. Then clip onto my shirt near my shoulder, and I can run and run without my earbuds dislodging.
In summary, these things RULE, and are completely worth the extra bucks you'll spend over some cheaper pairs of earbuds. The green color is a little ... uh, weird. I wish they were offered in black. But I will gladly put up with lime green in order to keep myself sane through a long workout by listening to music without adjusting my headphones 19 times. Hooray!
 Five Stars for the Buds, Zero Stars for the Cord November 11, 2006

I do not recommend Sennheiser's MX75 headphones.
First, the good features:
1. As with all Sennheiser products, these earphones deliver first rate sound for its price range.
2. The earphones are very comfortable and easy to fit properly using the included pads.
3. Once inserted in the ear, these earphones will not fall out due to vibration, movement or sweating.
However, the cord has ugly problems:
1. The cord is unusually stiff and consequently tends to be tough to manage. This is especially true when the phones are first removed from the package, as the cord maintains a sort of corkscrew shape for quite some time.
2. The cord running to the right earphone is substantially longer than the one connecting to the left earphone. The result is annoying slack around the face and neck.
3. The cord is the ugliest possible shade of green.
All in all, should Sennheiser offer a new product using the same earphones, but with conventional wiring, I'll be a buyer. Until then, I've given up on using these lime green annoyances.
Great All Around Design - Little Quiter Than Others July 5, 2006

First off, a great product, especially for those working out. These phones do stay in your ears when running on a treadmill and the shirt clip allows one to move the extra cabling out of the way.
The only drawback to these phones is that they do not have quite the volume/fullness of some headphones that are even cheaper. However, for a set of excercise oriented phones, these are great. They even come with a novel carrying case that works well.
I purchased mine off of amazon for around the $30-$40 range and am not quite shure why the extremly high $100 price is now listed. I don't think they are quite worth that price and hope this is merely a glitch and not a gouge.
Finally an earbud type headphone that stays put! February 12, 2007
38 out of 39 found this review helpful
I have been on a neverending quest for earbuds since I purchased my iPod. I don't know if my ears are weird or what, but all the ones I have tried before (the Apple ones being the worst) fall out of my ears very easily. I would be sitting at my desk, simply typing, and before I knew it the earbud would just slide out of my ear. It is so annoying to be constantly pushing earbuds back into your ear all day long. After searching high and low, and spending more money than I thought I ever would on various headphones and earbuds, I found the Sennheiser MX55V Stereo Headphones w/ Twist-to-fit System & Volume Control.
These headphones have been a godsend! They fit in my ear and they stay put! I seriously thought it just wasn't possible, but these do. Now, I only gave them 4 stars because after extended wearing my ears are sore afterwards. They take some time to get used to and you have to try different 'positions' to get the fit that suits you best. I wasn't sure how to wear them when I first got them either, they should come with more detailed instructions. So, there is a little pieace over the actual speaker- this piece wedges in and holds the headphones in place. This is where the 'soreness' comes in. My ears, and probably most people's ears are not used to having something in that area of the ear, so, like I said earlier, they take some time to get used do.
But the bottom line is that these work great. They have NOT FALLEN OUT ONCE! The difference between this model and the green MX75 (besides 20$) is that the MX75s are sweat resistant. It looks like they come with same items and are almost the same headphone.
FYI- both the MX55V & the MX75 come with different pads & fittings to ensure they fit your ear perfectly. I did have to change from the pad it came with to the smallest one.
Also, I LOVE the volume control. Basically about midway down the wire there is a small piece with a cool looking slider. The slider allows you to lower or raise the volume (not fully but within a certain range of the volume you previously set). This is great, because I do not have to fumble for my iPod in my pocket (or worse remove the earbud) when someone at work asks me a question, now I can just use the slider to lower the volume. The sound is good on these I have no complaints, but I am no audiophile either. If you have read this far into the review then I assume you are serious about buying these- and you should. If you have tried all the rest and are now ready to get a pair that truly fit, then buy these! Just remember, they take a couple days to get used to, so do NOT give up on these guys. Seriously, the best thing to do is play around with them and find what works for you- that's what is great about these customizable headphones!
