satisfied July 17, 2010
Nicholas W Hunt
excellent product with excellent sound.
Some minor dislikes:
when i do bench, the headphones pop slightly forward, so i wish the neckband weren't as long.
not a big fan of the bright green colored cord. a dark color, like black, would have been a better choice.
when laying on my stomach for inclined shoulder flys, sometimes i will rub the volume wheel up, and the music will be blasting in my ears til i turn it down, so i kind of wish you could lock the volume wheel or it weren't there at all...besides who wants to ever adjust the volume more than once after it's at the right volume...all of my ipod songs are volume-synced, so i have no need for the volume wheel.
Made for marathoners and ironmen. July 16, 2010
Exercise Alot
These headphones are not ment for the gym. Obviously since they go around the back of your head, they're not ideal for benching and stuff like that. These are ment for serious distance athletes: Marathon runners, century cyclists, ironmen. I've never been more happy with a pair of headphones. Not to mention, when your done with a run, you can rinse them off which is very convienent. They fit good enough to stay in my ears when my mp3 player is suspended from them, but somehow not tight enough to cause pain after hours or wear. I could go on about the fit but i think you get the point. The sound quality is good enough. I say it that way because its not going to sound as good as earbuds that funnel the music into your ear canal, but they do sound very good and muffle out surrounding noise (im not responsible if you purchase these and get hit by a truck because you werent paying attention.). The only negative i have about them is this: It rarely happens but when its a really humid day out and am running for a couple hours, sometimes the sweat will soak up into one of the earphone foam covers and create a barrier inbetween the my ear an the earphone resulting in no sound. Like i said, it rarely happens. it only happened a handful of times in the past 3 months of running with them. no product is perfect. but this one definately takes the cake as far as sport earphones. i highly recommend them.
 Adequate Sound Quality....Subpar Fit July 14, 2010

Look in the manual of these headphone and they show a picture of how these headphones are supposed to fit over the ears.
Wow--who has ears that big? These headphones do not fit well because they always want to slip further backward. The band in the back wants to keep falling onto the back of my neck, and the ear supports keep slipping past my ears. I wish these were adjustable in some way.
Also, I agree with what most people said about the cord. Awkward size.
 Nearly perfect... June 24, 2010

I have owned the previous model (PMX80) for many months now... and consider them to be nearly perfect for running. EXTREMELY comfortable, great sound... but cord was much too long (for neckband or arm band mounted iPod Shuffle)... and even too long for waistband. And, sweat would eventually seep into the drivers and mute them. (By the way... the loooong cord is a GOOD thing for treadmill running.)
The Improvements...
This model (PMX680) comes with a very short cord... perfect for neckband / armband mounting. (It includes an extension with volume control... I don't use it.) Also, no hint of suffering drowning by sweat. Bass is much stronger due to much better acoustic coupling to ear canal (more on this later).
Oh Dang... not quite perfect yet...
The PMX680 does not include the same reflective patch on the back of the neckband that the PMX80 has... too bad, the more safety the better. Also, the improved acoustic coupling is a mixed blessing for me anyway... with it, I enjoy improved bass and much reduced outside noise, which seems like a good thing... but for a street runner, hearing cars / runners / cyclists / angry dogs coming up on your rear is a *better* thing.
Some day...
Same awesome light weight design, superb fit and sound quality. But it will include rear facing high intensity LED flasher, and will include active noise cancellation that can be adjusted to include as much / little ambient noise as you see fit. Will also whisper encouraging words into your ear when your pace starts to fade... ha ha ha.
Currently the best out there. June 2, 2010

I started my research on wireless headphones with the motorola rokr. I purchased it through amazon and found them to be very uncomfortable with a tight fit. The sound was decent. However, the forward and back buttons didnt work so i returned them. Then i found these Addidas PMX 680 sport headphones. Once i received them i was pleasantly surprised by the easy packaging and innovative design. If you use nike+ or run with an ipod or iphone these are the headphones for you. They even feature a light reflector on the back when you run in the late hours of the day.
