4.0 out of 5 stars
Quality at the right price, 28 Dec 2008

This review is from: Sennheiser PMX 80-ECO II Rugged Stereo Neckband Headphones for Sports (Misc.)

Just to set the scene, I bought these as I found that the in-ear type constantly fall out at the gym, or get caught on my jacket on the train and get tugged out.

I had some initial concerns with the fit as it felt like they weren’t sitting in my ear, and was somewhat paranoid about noise bleed (predominantly as I hate other peoples tinny second hand music), but with some experimentation found that there is little escape.

The sound is deep and rich, much more bass than the i-clone headphones, comfortable (once you get used to them), surprisingly discrete given the colour as most of the headset sits beneath you neckline.

I looked at a large number of headphones including the ugly highly rated ones – you’ll find them on Amazon if you look, but these, for me are spot on at this price, highly recommended.

They lose a star, for no other reason than they don’t fit as well in the pocket as in-ears, but I’m clutching at that down side.

Sports headphones that work!, 11 Dec 2008

This review is from: Sennheiser PMX 80-ECO II Rugged Stereo Neckband Headphones for Sports (Misc.)

I have tried other “sports” headphones (the ones that hook over the top of your ear) and they just don’t stay in place while running. These, on the other hand, are FANTASTIC!

I received them a day before I took part in a 15k cross country race – a perfect opportunity to test them thoroughly! They didn’t move an inch once I’d put them on – excellent! Given that they were so cheap they sounded pretty good too. This was probably because they fitted so well and stayed there throughout the race. The provided cable clip is handy too.

Great sports headphones that actually stay in place. This is an excellent price also (They still sell the older green PMX70 model in my local Apple reseller for £39.99!)

They stay on. They hurt a bit. They could sound better., 7 Jun 2009
This review is from: Sennheiser PMX 80-ECO II Rugged Stereo Neckband Headphones for Sports (Misc.)

Sennheiser says these have a “vertical transducer system.” They appear to be referring to the fact that the plugs are upright. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, that’s like calling a book a “horizontal cellulose system.” Innovative!

I use these with an iPod Shuffle, been doing so for a few months. These phones will stay jammed in your ears while you’re jogging, that’s what the behind-the-neck band is for. So far, sweat has not been an issue (though I’ve never damaged earphones with sweat). Whether you find them comfortable is an individual matter. There’s no way to regulate the pressure. I had pain in my right ear, but the right ear bits have now become desensitized and I can wear them for about 45 minutes.

The phones have orangey bits of plastic on them, and if your’re counting on that for visibility, you must be jogging in urban camouflage. There is a reflector strip on the neckband. If you’re running in conditions where this is actually useful, you should A) be wearing a proper reflector vest, and B) not be plugged into music. Some very cynical gimmickry by Sennheiser there.

When the phones are broken in, the sound is pretty good. Treble is bright and detailed, bass is reasonably defined, but the sound as a whole feels a bit closed-in and wooly. No doubt this is partly due to the closed-back design.

Things I really appreciate about these phones is the single cord (though it’s too long for my setup), and that they seem quite sturdy; and of course that they stay on my ears during all kinds of exercise (and now they don’t hurt so much). The cable clip is a clever idea but the plastic is bittle; I used a thin screwdriver to extremely gently pry it so that I could get the cable in.

If your workouts involve a good deal of lying on your back with your head on the floor or bench, these won’t work. They also don’t work if you wear clothes with a high, stiff collar.

My gold standard for exercise phones is still the Koss KSC35, earclip phones with the same elements as the PortaPro. Four years on they still sound terriffic. These Sennheisers are a different concept, with some clever solutions, and maybe the compromises will work for you.
