Adidas PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphones with Volume control and Neckband Holding System

Comment: This headset was a Very well thought out design. It uses 1 cord not 2 like a lot of headphones out there. The cord is short maybe 18 inches long. This is nice because you don't have to worry about a cable flopping around when you run.
It fits very well and is very comfortable. I don't feel it when I run.

Comment: I am a sweaty guy in the gym & on my runs. Let my tell you these work great! The sound is great, feel is ok (for me it seems a little tight in the ears, not bad for a 45min work out but long might start to hurt), also it seems a bit open behind the head (Great if you wear a sweat band, a hat, or have a big head) but doing bench work or sit ups it can get in the way or be pushed out of your ears if you put you head all the way down. I did own another pear very similar to these the Sennheiser PMX80 and they hurt my ears, I would get sweat in my ears and could not hear the music & they broke a little after a year. But they fixed all that with theses!!! They added a little cheap foam cover over the ear bud part and added some extra plastic and it has stopped the seat from going in my ear, feels more comfortable then before, and I am hoping it wont brake after a year of use.
Bottom Line: If you sweat a lot and like the behind the head style head phone it is worth the buy.

Comment: Worth it!! I've been waiting for this item to come out on the market. I've gone through about 5-6 pairs of different headsets. Earbuds would ALWAYS fall out after the first 2 steps of running. I think I may have a small ear canal? I then tried ones that wrap around your ear. That was okay but then after long runs they would start to get uncomfortable and hurt also the cord would snag if I turned my head.
This headset was a Very well though out design. It uses 1 cord not 2 like alot of headphones out there. The cord is short maybe 18 inches long. This is nice because you don't have to worry about a cable flopping around when you run. It also comes with an extension cable that connects to make it longer if you want and has a volume adjuster attached if you need to change the volume on the fly. It fits very well and is very comfortable. I don't feel it when I run. The sound quality is a huge bonus. I'm happy with this purchase and I know there are alot of runners out there that have the same problem I had. I hope this review helps.

Comment: I had the regular headsets for my cardio and workouts and I hated them. They kept falling while running, got pulled by weights or something, got tangled and it would waste a lot of my "precious" workout time.

These headsets are the best. They stay steady when I'm running. I use them even for my heavy weight workouts, including bench press. I love these headsets. The extra cushion cover thingies fell of after a few days but it works great without that as well. They dont get tangled either.

I just wish I would have waited for the price drop.

Comment: I've had problems in the past with other headphones falling out or being too tight and giving me a headache. Not so with these. I can barely feel them, and I don't have to worry about them at all. To try them out, I wore them in the office during several hours of online training. After a couple of hours, I did notice them there, but it was nothing compared to either of my other headphones (I have the standard iPhone set as well as a Motorola HT820 set). As one coworker stated the color of these is bright enough that I'd never misplace them.

I live in the desert and it isn't summer yet, but can still work up a pretty mean sweat while exercising outdoors. So far, I have had no problems with that being a problem for these headphones.

I love the short cord/long cord option since I hike and run with my iPhone on my upper arm. Other cords get in the way, even if I route them through my clothes or clips. The short one is just long enough to reach from my iPhone to the headphones with a little slack so I can still turn my head. If I had a complaint it would be that I had to move my phone to my left arm since the headphone cord comes out of the left side. Which reminds me of another bonus -- a single cord coming out of the headphones.

I'd hardly consider myself an audiophile, but they sound great to me, but I am still able to hear what is going on around me with the music at a reasonable volume.

For those interested, I went with these over Bluetooth-enabled headphones in order to conserve battery and not interfere with the iPhone's GPS.
