"Underwhelming" on by shapar
Pros: Price and ?
Cons: Stability, So-So Sound
Summary: Background: I wanted an improvement over the OEM earbuds that came with my iPod Nano, which I use mainly at the gym and while running. But I'm not much of an Audiophile, so I didn't want to spend a ton of $$. I did my research, read the reviews (including CNET's) and got a pair of MX75's in Oct. '06.
The Bad: Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm underwhelmed. The sound quality isn't a quantum leap over the OEM earbuds--certainly not $40 better. And stability is actually worse. Lastly, the wires are stiff and springy and maintain their coil. This makes it difficult to route them unobstructively and also contributes to the stability issue, notwithstanding the included clip.
Summary: Either stay with the OEM earbuds or spend a bit more and get bona fide in-canal earphones.

Wow. First of all, Sennheiser doesn't make bad audio gear (think BOSE), so maybe you should figure out how to put in the headphones first. They have to go in your ear, most importantly. How did you manage to spend $40 more on a $25 product. That's really amazing.

Hi. the "problem" is maybe quality of bundled HS for Ipod. I have Nano too and I tried to replace HS several times and returned back to bundled HS everytime. Just because its so balanced to Ipod.. I'd not replace it, but I broke it. so MX75 is at least same sound quality ( i like it more, but it hugely depens on type of music, bitrate...), but holds better. exactly what I need. Lukas
