Reddit reviews Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I use these and they work great:

Interesting...I find they sound good, and amazing for $18. My other cans are top of the line Sennheisers and in my youth I could pretty easily tell quality from crap. I would say either you got a crap set, or my ears aren't what they used to be.

It's true that the in-ear phones, when you rub them against clothes, you hear swishing. I use them more on stationary bike and lifting weights.

Before these I used the Sennheiser twist to fit, looks like they are discontinued in favor of these below. But I did break a few so liked the idea of going with something cheap and decent.

Generally you don't want anything covered in fabric to get coated in sweat. Headphones like those, get so gross so fast, and covered with salt.

It's taken me years, but I finally found a pair of headphones that work great for me. I used to go through a pair every 6 months because of some flaw with them. (I'm looking at you, Yurbuds, fuck you!)

I had a pair of Yurbuds, they work great their sound is not so great. I ended up with a pair of these off of amazon.

these are the best earbuds for running and working out in general for me

These are the first ones that I've found that both fit well and can take profuse sweating:

Or sennheiser's sport buds.

Avoid beats at all cost, the quality doesn't justify the high price

I bought these and that problem disappeared

I used these ones for a while, that top bit actually kind of hooks inside your ear which sounds strange but it worked well, and they're adjustable. I broke them eventually and have Yurbuds now but I find them kind of big (even though I got the women's ones) so you might too.

I have the CX 685 (which I assume are nearly identical to those), and I love them. The sound's great and they've never fallen out of my ear. The only thing that worries me is that the cord to each earphone is really thin, but I've had them for about 8 months now with no problems.

I use these and they are secure as bejesus

Best ones I've ever had. They seem to be on sale because I payed a lot more for these when I got them. They don't ever fall out, unless they get caught and get ripped out. They keep outside noise down and sound great!

Sweat will eventually kill any and all headphone you use.

That said, the Sennheiser CX685 is the closest thing you're going to find.

I recently purchased these Sennheiser earbuds. http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0094R4POC
I had a pair of similar Sennheiser earbuds that I purchased 5 years ago that were still going strong, but were starting to get a bit worn out. I upgraded to these and haven't been disappointed!

The Sennheiser Adidas series are excellent.

I use this one and I can't even find a down side!
They got normal earplugs, around the head and around the ear.
Choice enough!

I sweat like crazy and these work great for me when doing cardio. Great sound quality too!

I've been using the Sennheiser CX 685for years now and absolutely love them.

The Sony MDRAS200 are what I usually reccomend. Dirt cheap, they get rid of some noise, and the quality is pretty good. They're also some of the most comfortable headphones I've ever had in a helmet.

Edit: Wasn't sure about your budget at the time, but I also found some Sennheiser CX685 for a good price too. The noise canceling great, and the sound is definitely better than the MDRAS200. Only downside is that they can get pulled out when you take your helmet off, and that they aren't quite (still good enough for a long ride) as comfortable as the other pair.

I use these. They're expensive, but I've had them for a while now and never once had to worry about them falling out.

Sennheiser and Adidas made a bunch, one of them was the cx685s. I had the cx680s (which had a mic) and they sounded pretty shitty, but apparently the 685s are an improvement (at least in comfort as I've read) only thing is there's no mic. Mine did tangle alot too. But they're cheap.

Bose has the SIE2s, which have a mic, but are pricier. The reviews should give you an idea on how they sound (never used them).

Lastly, Monster makes some. Not cheap, and one reviewer said there were some fakes being sold through Amazon so if you buy them, make sure they're genuine or buy from Monster. One thing to note, Monster has shit customer service. Dealt with them before on a pair of broken Turbine Pros and it wasn't very easy.

Read some reviews (not just on amazon) before you buy! Hope this helps.

I'm having a hard time believing you've tried earbuds other than whatever came stock with whatever phone/ player you use. I've been using these for the past 2 years and they were highly recommended in a recent earphone thread here a few days ago. Quality and durable.

I love all Sennheiser products. I've tested their headphones against Monster, Beats, and Bose and still prefer the Sennheiser brand. (Bose are pretty amazing but I can't justify spend so much). I have their reference headphones for at home use and the ear buds I linked below for working out etc.

-Budget: Less than $200

-Source: Droid Turbo smartphone, and Asus ROG laptop

-Requirements for Isolatioin: Some isolation is good, but not necessary, headphones will be worn at home, in the library, and commuting around town on bike/foot.

-Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Yes

-Preferred Type of Headphone: In ear headphones are by far my favorite.

-Preferred tonal balance: An overall balanced pair of headphones is best, I don't listen to a any specific genre of music enough to want to tailor my headphones in that way.

-Past Headphones: The reason I'm coming here is that I just keep churning through headphones. I keep my phone in my front left pocket, and I bike at least 5 miles each day. My constant issue, is that even with headphones in the $50-60 range, eventually the plug dies from bending against my leg, and one or both earbuds go dark. A few recent headphones that all died this way: Cheap Skull Candys, Sol Republic JAX, and a pair of Sennheiser CX 685.

-Preferred Music: I listen to a lot of Metal, Rock, Indie, EDM, Rap, Hip-Hop, basically anything high energy I can get my hands on. Some specific artists would be Godsmack, Metallica, Big B, Matisyahu, The Tallest Man on Earth, The Raconteurs, ILL Bill, Snowgoons, Bliss n Eso, Brother Ali, Knife Party, Bassnectar, and Gramatik.

-What would you like to improve on from your set-up: I'm really just looking for a pair of headphones that can stand up to a good amount of abuse, and still have at least decent sound quality without breaking the bank.

Happy to answer any other questions that I can in order to be helpful, and a pre-emptive thanks for any time you're willing to give me!

My latest obsession will have to be running. I used to run in high school, but it fell by the wayside because I just didn't have time in college. I just love the feeling of the wind in my hair and going against my neck. It's an adrenaline rush to me, and now that I have a little bit more time, I get excited to wake up early and see the world wake up before my eyes. People are getting ready to leave for work, others are walking their dogs and others running or jogging along the other side of the street.

To me, there's nothing quite like it. You get the chance to explore and you can run almost everywhere, so there's nothing to stop you. Even though I travel a bit, I know that's my chance to see the town or city in a new sort of way. You can meet new people easily, find partners that will run by your side and the only thing that can do is improve not just your speed but your bond with that person.

As of right now, I only wish I had started this sooner and went back to my roots for the love of the pavement. Jumping up and down to get your muscles going, picking music to get your blood pumping (new or old!) and then just letting it all go.

3.14! Mmm, delicious pi...

And here is my item! It's a little more than $25, but my headphones are about to die (I can feel it) and I don't want to slow down just yet! If that's too much, this one will do too!

I'm using a pair of Sennheiser CX 685

I've had this set

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-685-Adidas-Headphones/dp/B0094R4POC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1464991617&sr=8-8&keywords=adidas+headphones

For a year in a half. I really enjoy them. I use them for weight lifting. Running. Sprinting. Biking. Never had an issue. I used to go through headphones every 6 months.

I could never get used to Bluetooth headphones. Not the fitting in my ears part, but the cord that goes between the 2 pieces always seems to fall at a weird spot. I don't like the feeling while benching, or it flopping around while running.

Not to mention, I think working out with a 200+ dollar cellphone is a bad idea. And my sansa clip obviously doesn't have Bluetooth.

Sennheiser products are my goto for mid-range headphones. The price on these is great, now. I got them for $55, and they were worth that. I thought they'd feel weird because of that little plastic piece that holds onto your ear, but it serves its purpose perfectly.

I am using Sennheiser CX 685 Adidas Sports In-Ear Headphones and I am really satisfied.

I mostly use my nexus 5 as an mp3 player or sometimes my ipod nano.
