Review: Sennheiser /Adidas PMX 680

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...

Adidas Sennheiser PMX 680i review

But we were wrong. We took the headphones for a good run, and achieved the ideal situation: we could forget about them completely, and just concentrate on the pleasure of the music, and the agony of the exercise.

The PMX 680i Sports headphones are light and comfortable to wear, with a secure fit that we never doubted throughout a lengthy run. But the real surprise was the audio quality: uniformly good, but particularly proficient in the bass department. The...

Sennheiser PMX 680 review

Two German superbrands have attempted to produce the ultimate sports-centric headphones. But are the PMX 680s Olympic sprinters or fat clubbers jogging on the spot?

Not a replacement for your audiophile in-ears, but a fine perfect sporty alternative. If you run, get a pair of these

Exactly what I needed

My old ear buds kept falling out and needed re-adjusting constantly so I went shopping for something else. I'm also a bit of an audiophile so I demanded something quality. The Sennheiser PMX 680 satisfied my needs perfectly.

Newegg rocks, as always.. 3 day shipping took only 1 day ; Fit securely, even while running and lifting ; Great sound quality for this price. They have strong bass response (punchy not boomy), and crisp albeit a bit laid back highs. The sound stage is...

Not as compact as ear buds, makes for a tough pocket fit ; Bright yellow styling isn't for me... it's too showy, but makes for good road visibility

Amazing

Great buy! Even though I have small ears and regular earbuds don't work out for me due also to the irregular shape of my ears, these fit just fine.

In comparison to Sony/Apple earbuds, its amazing. Even in comparison to Skull Candy's stuff, its good. The low and high notes are solid, and due to the fit, allows me to hear music and the traffic around me as I run. They don't bounce around and fit...

Wearing these with long hair is difficult. The ponytail must be either tied as low as possible, or tied up high and the ends not whacking the headphones, or they will slip off ; Can't use the earflaps on my helmet otherwise its uncomfortable/doesn't...

Impressive

I got these on sale here for $39.99 and couldn't be happier with my purchase; A steal at that price.

Lightweight, but solid construction. Great sound for the type of headphones that they are. The lows are reasonably low, highs and mids are crystal clear]) I shook my head vigorously to test how these stay in your ear/ on your head, and all I can say is...

None
