Summary: Fixes one issue but causes another 2010-03-09
Comment: I decided to upgrade to the CX680s after using a pair of CX380s for the last 6 months. The 380s were pretty good but didn't always stay in place during my workouts.

The good news with the CX680s is the ear fin technology works really well. They stay in place the whole time I'm at the gym. The bad news is Adidas/Sennheiser should have given more thought to the cord length. The standard cord is too short unless you're using an armband for your music player. Then it's too long so you have to wrap it around or have it move the whole time you're working out.

If you don't have an armband, then you have to use the extender with the inline volume control. When you do this the cord is way too long and it and the volume control bounce all over the place. You can use the included clip to keep one from moving but you can't stop both from moving. The moving is super distracting because you can hear it through the headphones and you don't know what the cord is going to get snagged on.

Having said all this, I guess these could work for you if you're the right height (I'm 5'10''). Height is important because the volume control also has a clip on it that you can use to keep it from flopping around. In my case, the clip didn't reach my waist so I couldn't clip it so it just dangled.

Summary: Rich sound for a great price! 2010-02-14
Comment: I wanted comfortable earbud headphones that would not fall out while jogging, would repel sweat, and has rich sound quality - all for under $150. My search took me from opinion to opinion and had me learning terms such as "Frequency Range", "Impedance", and "Sound Pressure Levels". Eventually, I came across the Sennheiser Sports product line and was impressed with the technical details, durable construction, and that I can rinse them under running water without harming them. The Sennheiser CX 680 is the latest model of the Sennheiser Sports line (at the time of this review) with a retail price of under $120. The soft rubber ear adapters and fins of the CX 680 make a tight and comfortable fit that allows me to hear the deepest bass and the highest treble as I desire.

WARNING: If your spouse or significant other listens to them you may be forced to purchase a second pair for her/him...I was.
