 Static Shock August 7, 2008
They worked well for about 2 weeks but the left earbud gave me a strong static shock, the kind you get when you touch your car.
I was sitting down listening to the music with the earbuds in my ears for a while so it wasn't a build up on my part. At first I thought it was a one time ordeal and ignored it.
Then it happened two more times. Sad, I liked these since they actually fit in my odd ears.
 Decent sound, big problems August 5, 2008
The sound is equivalent--no better, no worse--than older ear bud headphones from Sennheiser. That is to say, about $10-$20 Sony quality, with Sony having more bass and Sennheisers having perhaps a tiny touch more high end detail. The Sonys play louder, too. Sony MDR-E828LP Fontopia Earbuds with Winding Case--I buy a set of these for 10 to 20 bucks whenever I need a new set and they remain the best option. Markedly better sound quality and louder than iPod buds. Cheap, so perfect for working out. They stay in my ears very well.
The problem with these Sennheisers is--there is a green removable rubber gasket around the speaker itself and a round green piece that helps hold them in place. I say that they are removable, but they are not INTENDED to be removed. They are rubber, rather than plastic, and the idea is that the rubber helps the phones stay put.
Unfortunately, the gaskets and rubber pieces come off when taking them off--which means that you might miss where you lose the small rubber pieces and --bounce bounce--you will have a hard time finding them. I used mine about 4 days a week for a month and the first gasket came off and was lost. Within a week, another of the rubber peices came off, and then the second rubber gasket came off the other earphone. It is a clever design, but due to sharp edges, I can no longer use these headphones. Without the gaskets, the sharp edges will irritate your ears.
I got them on sale and decided to give them a whirl based upon sound quality and fit good reviews. The Sonys I mentioned before easily match the sound quality, play louder, and stay in my ear as well. And, are cheaper, and can be used until they really break, unlike the Sennheisers, which are junk because ill-planned rubber gaskets come right off the phones. I would NOT buy them again and I'd suggest the Sonys. Good luck.
I have never had a problem with earphones falling out of my ears, but do not think that these held into my ears any better than an average set of phones.
 MX 55 or MX 75 August 5, 2008
why does Amazon lump the reviews for these two very different products together? Has anybody but me noticed that the photo illustrating the MX 55 phones does not at all resemble what they actually look like? Mine are this cheesy looking pseudo chrome, including the case. The photo shows them to be white/black and charcoal. They are not. The sound is ok. Can't figure out how they should be screwed into my ears but they seem to stay there pretty well anyway. B - for headphone quality to Sennheiser, F to Amazon for trying to pull a fast one.
Sennheiser MX75 Do Not Attach/Fit as Described August 4, 2008
I bought MX75 "Twist-To-Fit" hoping that they would stay secure in my ears as I ran. First, there were no instructions with the package describing how to "twist and fit" into my ear. I finally found a video with a few frames on the Sennheiser web site showing how they are to be inserted (no description). I repeatedly went in front of a mirror to duplicate the "Twist-To-Fit" process as shown in the video clip. It must be my Spock-like ears - I could not make it happen. They just fell out. I found that they were more secure when placed in my ears upside down to what is shown in the clip.
 smart product August 3, 2008
These headphones have never fallen out after 20+ workouts. The sound is excellent, the fit is secure without being tight, and the product is more durable than any of the Sony exercise headphones. The color is annoying, but they are easy to find in your gym bag.
