- as good as it gets
- For 14 bucks this is as good as it gets. I previously owned one of the sony mdr series that i'm retiring. Kid you not when it says it attaches to your ear. It doesn't make the slightest movement. The only problem is that it migh yank out your ear if the cord gets caught up with something. But then I can't expect it to know when it should let go :) ... would be nice though

- 'Mediocre Device'
- Overall the earphones are satisfactory. However, the acoustics are limited, the basic apple phones are even better than the Sennheiser's. One reason to buy them was the incentive of a mail-in rebate. After having sent them the pertaining code bar etc. they refused to send a check because of 'wrong documentation'which is absolutely bogus since I had sent everything correctly. I won't fall for this again.

- MX55: Excellent sound
- This review is for Sennehiser MX55 Street w/o volume control (the least expensive of the three models listed on this page; the other two are MX55V and MX75). I have no issues with twist-to-fit, but then, I don't have problems with the fit of other earbuds either. What I got this pair for is the sound. The sound is excellent. It has a much better bass response than Sennheiser MX660 (top of the line drivers of the "classic" earbud line). The bass is just right. (By the way, using foams is necessary to get a good bass.) Highs are balanced and not shrill. Channel separation is not perfect, but consider the price. I find that the regular rubber ring works best for me. I definitely recommend this product.

- I'm trying something else next - I had 3 problems with these
- While these sound amazing initially, unfortunately I found problems that made these unusable for working out:
(1) small green pads fall off and are lossed because they are so tiny
(2) frequently fall out of ears when running, and on eliptical runner
(3) once saturated with sweat the sound is distorted, and I found the sound quality so irritating after that I had to turn it off for the rest of my workout - 2008-10-13, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A Better Value than the MX55
- I bought and use these entirely for exercising - primarily running. While the green color is rather obnoxious, I find that the design is much improved over the MX55. Which I
The 55's had a inline volume control that I never used and instead created an annoying lump in my clothes (I route the cable underneath my shirt down to my wrist band where my iPod Nano is secured.) In addition, the tabs that held the 55's in my ear weren't as well designed and didn't have the option of multiple size pads like the 75's did.
I also liked that the 75's came with extra parts. At some point, the 55's lost a piece or two and became virtually useless. - 2008-10-12, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
