Sennheiser CX 686G Sport In-Ear Headphones Review

 

The Sennheiser CX 686G Sport earbuds have everything a good pair of exercise buds need: good audio quality with thumping bass, a sporty design with a steady in-ear fit and a convenient inline remote.

Sporty design ; Comfortable, secure ear inserts ; Good audio quality

Cords tangle easily ; inline remote doesn't work on iOS devices

The $69 Sennheiser CX 686G Sports earbuds are the best workout headphones for the money, with great sound quality, a friendly design and a convenient inline remote.

Decent sports headphones

Lightweight but light on sound

 

I have been using a pair of Pioneer in-ear sport headphones and being a good brand, expected these to sound the same. Was a little disappointed with the bass but that may just be the fit to my ear. Did seem to stay secure when running and the volume...
