I’ve used a pair of Sennheiser headphones since my gaming days (long time ago), so I can attest to their awesomeness. And as someone who exercises a lot, I’m always in the market for a good pair of sports headphones. Well these MX75 might be just the thing.
Using a convenient twist to fit technology, the MX75’s provide a snug fit for athletics. It also has various ear piece attachments for different settings. The system includes a clip for snapping the cord to your shirt, keeping it from flopping around wildly.
The clear drawback of the MX75’s is that hideous color. I understand that people want sporting goods to be bright so that they’re visible and cars don’t run you over or whatever, but why the hell does it have to be that color? In fact, it seems Sennheiser is using that green for all its sports headphones. How about some color options yo?

Very cool, I may have to ask for these for xmas.
I’ve used these suckers and I find them quite wonderful. They fit snuggly (far better than the come-with iPod set, for example), but don’t totally block out outside noise as in the sound-isolating Shure or Creative buds. This is good–when you’re running the streets of Brooklyn, you don’t want to get swiped by an unheard SUV.
Also, while not technically “waterproof”, they CAN be rinsed under a sink to get rid of the stench of victory (sweat).
So I’d be safe using these when it rains, maybe not a torrential downpour but a light rain?
Absolutely. As long as your DAP doesn’t get soaked, of course. You’d probably be fine in a hurricane, as long as the actual speaker part is shielded by your ear.
