 Two thumbs up! August 17, 2008
Sounds great, fits perfectly and looks awesome. I dunno what could be better than these headphones. Also the wires are very supple and don't get too tangled when bunched up.
Excellent value for the price. August 17, 2008
Bought these for my son to replace his Apple headphones. Excellent sound and fit. Better than the white earbuds from Apple. A great value for $20. I would highly recommend.
Great for running!! August 15, 2008
I recently bought the black Sennheiser MX55 Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Stereo Headphones for $12.99 ($18.57 with standard shipping) from Amazon. I had been debating on buying the bright green Sennheiser MX75 Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Stereo Sport Headphones for $27.48 and the Sennheiser MX55VC Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Stereo Headphones w/ Volume Control for $27.59 but decided on purchasing the MX55's due to price and it's great reviews.
I'm glad I bought the MX55's because they work perfectly and are a reasonable price for an object that I abuse routinely. I use these headphones in conjunction with my Ipod Nano for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours during my daily runs. They came with ear bud customizers but I just stick the basic buds in my ear and they don't fall out no matter how hard I whip my head about to check on the traffic around me. Even as sweat falls and pools around all sides of the bud, they don't slip out of my ear and it doesn't seem to impair the sound. The sound quality is fine, especially as I don't keep the volume high so that I can hear emergency vehicles, dogs and neighbor's saying `hi.' The cord is of average length - long - so I wrap it a few times around my armband, which doesn't look like it hurts the headphones or negatively affects the sound quality.
After my run, my ears are slightly sore where the buds have been, but that is to be expected since I use them an hour or more. I am very happy with these headphones. Their price is great and I also received a $5 rebate from Sennheiser, bringing the final cost of the headphones to $13.57 total. This rebate is good for most all of the Sennheiser headphones:

MX75s are a solid choice August 15, 2008
I figured since I have been buying stuff on Amazon for years based on the reviews I read here, I figured it was about time that I contributed one.
I bought the MX75s based on other's reviews here at Amazon. I've had these about 8 months and I really like them. I have used several different types of headphones/earbuds and couldn't find any that could stand the abuse of daily workouts while not driving me crazy falling out of my ears or off my head.
These things will stay in your ears. When I first saw these and people said they were secure, I thought "Yeah, right", but they work well and they keep performing.
The sound is good, when you take the time to get a good fit. It isn't going to wow you when you have 5 people pounding tread mills next to you, but you can hear your music which is an accomplishment. When in a quiet setting the sound is quite good.
The kit that is provided to alter the fit is something you should hang onto even if the earphones fit well in the default setup. I found the fit changed over time and I was glad I had thrown the kit in the junk drawer.
Some don't like the long cord that is provided. I must admit that it can get tangled pretty easily as there is quite a bit of wire, but I like the extra wire as it allows me to put my ipod in the pocket of my shorts when I am working out with weights. This is a major benefit for me as I am allergic to neoprene and can't have those stretch bands wrapped around my arms.
These will stand up to lots of moisture. When I am done working out, my shirt is usually dripping and these headphones have not shown ANY effects from the moisture or the salt. Pretty impressive.
The MX75s aren't perfect, but for the application I bought them for they work really well. I think they are well worth the money and I would buy another pair without hesitation.
Really different! August 14, 2008
I must admit, when I first saw these, I questioned the design and the principal. However, after wearing them and changing the way they fit in the ears several times, I found the sound amazing. There is an excellent base response for such a small driver. Also, the fit never changed with movemnent once fit was set. The fact that the price on these was dropped since they are no longer an active production product, made the price to performance hard to beat. Very cool. Keep up the good work Sennheiser.
