Looking for a pair of headphones that won't fall part among the blood, sweat and tears from your run? You're looking for the PMX 680s.

Exceptional sound quality. Marvelous bass. Stays put securely. Water resistant and dog-proof

Ambient noise leaks in. Large earbuds might be uncomfortable for some users

Sennheiser PMX-680 Adidas Sport Headphones

Sennheiser is a name that needs no introduction in the hi-fi headphones community. If you have ever done research on a new set of headphones, the Sennheiser name has undoubtedly come up in your exploration. They have been making headphones,...

Comfortable fit and firmly stay in your ears while exercising, overall pleasant sound quality, sturdy design materials

Few bass/mid/high frequency issues keep it from excelling with any particular type of music

While I cannot comment on whether this latest generation Sennheiser model offers improved sound quality over the earlier PMX models, I can say that this model offers an overall pleasing sound signature. It keeps up with fast-paced music and doesn’t...

Perfect for all occasions

My second pair. Once in a very long time I would get some bass buzzing (my previous pair, this one seems OK so far). Otherwise this beats out just about every pair of phones I\'ve ever owned. Superb bass, very clear sound. The volume switch is a bit...

Great Headphones for portable players

These are perfect for me, I wear glasses and the behind the neck phones I had would press on my glasses and over time became annoying to wear. This model is totally comfortable after 1-2 hours.

Comfortable and stay in place!

Most "bud" headphones have to be smashed into your ear. These do not! They come with different bud sizes, but the key is the little tab that keeps a tiny bit of pressure thus the buds don't fall out.Sound quality is good and they've been plenty sweaty...

Adjustable volume and won't fall out of your ear
