Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line Stereo Neckband Headphones

Designed to keep you grooving during athletic activity, Sennheiser's Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line Stereo Neckband Headphones give you exceptional sound when you're working out. Featuring a patented ultra-lightweight, flexible construction, an ergonomic neckband, and a transducer system that is positioned vertically (turned 90 degrees) in the ear, the PMX70 offers an extra secure fit for optimum comfort and stability while avoiding interference with your movements. And with powerful neodymium magnets in the earphone speakers, the PMX70 gives you incredible detailed sound reproduction.

Design
Like all the earphones in Sennheiser's Sport Line collection, the PMX70 is designed for rugged indoor and outdoor activity. Whether you're in the dance studio, on the running trail, or in the weight room, you can stay focused through your entire workout with your favorite music. The PMX70 is also sweat and water resistant, so you can extend the life of your earphones by washing them. And when you're not listening to your portable device, coil up your earphones and store them in the protective carrying case included with purchase so that they don't get tangled up with your keys, cell phone, or other accessories.

Intended Use
Of course, you can also listen to tunes while you're running errands or just relaxing. The PMX70 is great for use with all MP3, CD, DVD, and MD players, as well as with all portable game systems. So now you can get great sound and stay connected and entertained no matter what you're doing.

So go ahead, break a sweat. With your own set of Sennheiser PMX70 Sport Line earphones.

Customer Reviews:

Fantastically Designed.
These head phones do as intended they stay in your ears. While performing high motion activities I've been using them for about 7 months while biking, running and walking. My only complaints are that they are uncomfortable while sitting down in a chair with a head rest or while lying down and the very comfortable silicon caps on the ear buds came off due to my own carelessness. These sound terrific with about 80% of the sound quality of my audiophile series studio headphones that cost 350$.

Runner's Paradise
These headphones are the best ones that I've owned to date! Great sound and perfect chord length (for those who have purchased really short or really long chords, this will be appreciated) Being a runner, I'm constantly struggling with phones which don't stay put and fall off. I want to keep the smaller profile look and feel, and still maintain a solid headphone and not sacrifice brilliant sound. Well BINGO..they have arrived!

My only complaints are small:
1. They only come in the neon green....personal preference
2.They don't budge at all...so no putting your head down or up against something...

Other than that, great find and buy! Hope this helps! :)

Solid sports headpones
After going through multiple Sony sport headphones - which seemed to have a 3 week half life - I decided to move up to Sennheiser sport headphones. This set has been rugged and reliable. The sound quality is more than adequate for exercise, with surprisingly solid bass response. Additionally, while the Sony sport phones would loose output from heavy sweating, this pair has never missed a note.
For someone who is not comfortable with ear bud headphones or other in-ear models I recommend this model without reservation.

Pricey but functional
I've had these headphones for about 1 month. I recommend reading all the other reviews for this product before making a decision.

I use them exclusively in the gym while using the cardio equipment to relieve the mind-numbing boredom. I've never used them while jogging outside, I don't get bored while outdoors.

I am a heavy sweater so that was one of my primary concerns about choosing this headset. I didn't want any foam to get all cruddy, and I also didn't like the ear-bud type. I was looking specifically for behind the neck. I also considered the Sony folding sport type (I forget the model number) but two many reviewers said they broke easily.

The Sennheisers aren't the most comfortable phones and I can understand why they could be very uncomfortable depending on the size of your ear opening. My head size is larger than average and I don't find the phones too tight.

I looked around at the various big box stores (Best Buy, Walmart, Circuit Silly, etc.) but I was not able to find this particular model of Sennheiser. It would have been nice to try them out for fit before purchase, but I couldn't find them locally.

Sound quality is on par for a sports headphone. Its nothing like a real headphone, so don't buy it just for listening to music at home. I've had other Sennheiser headphones for home use and I really like them because of their lightweight, open-air design.

One thing that is not mentioned about the product, is that the cord is loosely coiled, sort of like a telephone cord, but very loose. This feature causes the cord to bounce somewhat.

They are more efficient than my original mp3 (creative) player headphones, so I get more sound at a lower volume control setting.

I rated them 3 stars for 2 reasons. I took off one star because I think they are way overpriced. If the comfort level had been supreme, I would have rated them 4 stars. But the comfort is just average, hence my average rating of 3 stars.

Good, but fragile
I've had two sets of these headphones, both broke way too soon (lost sound in one ear). For me, if I get a bad product experience I switch to a competing brand. In this case, they are for my wife and she likes them for jogging (marathon training!). When I exercise, I've found ear buds fall out and other behind the ear styles can be less comfortable. These do have great sound, no doubt there. Anyway, pair #3 is on order.
