The good: Fantastic clarity across the frequency range; snug fit is ideal for exercise.
The bad: Neon green coloring is not universally appealing.
The bottom line: Workout enthusiasts with a penchant for bright green will be happy with these highly stable, excellent-sounding in-ear headphones.

You either love them or hate them, and all you haters need read no further (we don't blame you). Now that we have that out of the way, these headphones are a design delight from an ergonomic standpoint. Sennheiser's Twist-to-Fit holding system insures a snug fit, even when you're jogging, though this takes a little fiddling at first. Each earpiece has a rubber stopper above it which pushes against the outer ear and ensures stabilization, though the left and right pieces will not necessarily sit in the ear in identical ways, requiring a little adjustment on the user's part to find the position that both is secure and sounds best. The MX 75 also comes with an attractive rubber, semitransparent carrying case, a shirt clip that's attached to the cord, and rubber ear-piece covers to facilitate a snug fit.
Unfortunately, if you can't get past the neon green highlighting, you'll miss out on the entire Sennheiser Sport Line, which includes six earbud styles, all accented in the same color. There's the LX 70 ($54.95) with an ultralight headband design; the MXL 70V ($44.95) with an incorporated lanyard; the OMX 70 ($44.95) with adjustable ear hooks for a secure fit; the PMX 70 ($49.95) with an ergonomic neckband; and finally, the MX 70 ($34.95), which features a design similar to that of the MX 75 but also incorporates magnetic earpiece faces for connecting the earbuds around the neck when not in use.

"Fantastic New Design that Innovates Style and Functionality" By dahcstunna
Pros Sound Quality, Fit, Design, Endurance
Cons Cord Tangles, Takes a While to get the right fit
Summary Out of the Box you're thrown a package of green gummy things that you must put onto the headphones to ensure the proper fit. For me it took about 30 min to find the exact fit as their are different size speaker covers, and different size ear twist. However ... Expand full review
