Feature Details:

Transducer principle
Two transducer principles have become established for the conversion of electric energy into mechanical energy: electrodynamic and electrostatic transducers, whereby the latter is only to be found in audiophile systems, due to their relatively high manufacturing costs. Electrodynamic transducers basically consist of a ring-shaped permanent magnet and an oscillation coil, which is fixed to the receiver diaphragm. When an audio-frequency alternating current is passed through the oscillation coil, it is caused to vibrate in accordance with the audio-frequency alternating current, thus causing the diaphragm to vibrate in the same way.
Frequency response
The frequency response of a microphone is given within the limits defined by the manufacturer. In studio condenser microphones it is generally within the range of between 20 Hz and 20 kHz.
Impedance
Impedance expresses the AC resistance of a microphone or a set of headphones. It is dependent on frequency and is given at 1 kHz as the so-called nominal impedance. Impedance is measured in ohms. In recent years, an industrial standard has developed, setting the impedance of headphones at 50 or 600 ohms. Sennheiser headphones are manufactured according to this standard, thus practically ruling out connection problems. With microphones, the input impedance of the following microphone amplifier should have at least three times the value of the nominal impedance, in order to prevent it from unnecessarily attenuating the microphone signal.
Ear coupling
A distinction is made between headphones which are worn on the external ear (supra-aural) and those which surround the ear (circumaural). Open headphones have foam ear pads that rest on the ears or ring pads that surround the ears. Closed headphones, on the other hand, nearly always have circumaural ear pads.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This is my 2nd pair. The 1st deterioriated within 2 years, the rubber sheathing tearing away, leaving the wires bare and unuseable. But I have not found another headphone that wraps around the ear and stays on while I am running or walking.

good sound but watch the fit

Sound is very good but the weak link is the fit in your ear. If the fit is bad then the perceived quality drops, especially for the low frequencies.

I have to wear hat etc ... I would recommend them anyway because my problem can be my small ears ... not this product .

Stay on Ears, but not in them ...

Reviewed by S. (Frequent Traveler) from Tampa, FL on Apr 26, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Use these while working out and they do the job for staying on my ears. Only down fall is that they shift away from the ear and you lose the sound quality. Still a good pair of ear phones if using them for general use, and for running, just can be a pain to reset them to get the sound you may be looking for. Overall, they are much better than in the ear headphones or over the ear headphones for running with (over the ear look kind of Dorky too).

Pros:	Lightweight, Comfortable
Best Uses:	Running
Cons:	Too Much Ambient Noise, Poor Sound

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The sound and fit of these head phones are good; although the length of the cord is bothersome at times. I run for long distances and have not experienced discomfort during my runs. Overall, a good product that will satisfy a runner, but with a little room for improvement.

Best Sport Headphones on the Market!

Reviewed by Beach Bum (Frequent Traveler) from Redondo Beach, CA on Aug 29, 2006

I tried about every sport headphone design on the market from Sony and Panasonic to the boot leg brands you can find at Fry's Electronics. Sony may have the best sound quality but they really need to work on comfort. Panasonic is pretty good on both, but they don't last very long. The Sennheiser OMX70 is by far the best on the market today as far as durability and comfort. The sound quality could be better but when you're running or lifting it's acceptable. The headphones would also be better if the wires were asymmetrical like most newer designs. However, the clip on the wire does help keep the wires from bouncing all over the place. Unfortunately, one thing this headphone does lack is color selection. The only color available is the 80s neon green, shown in the picture. The main reason I got these heaphones was due to the fact that every review so far emphasized how durable and comfortable they are. So far so good.

Cons:	Color, Average Sound Quality
Pros:	Lightweight, Durable, Highly Compatible, Comfortable
Best Uses:	Working out, Running

Sennheiser OMX70 Sport

Reviewed by SoulCarver (Frequent Traveler) from Buffalo, NY on Jul 17, 2006

I read a bad review about this product AFTER I had already purchased on-line. The user said they sounded worse than factory earbuds. The sound is crystal clear from hi to low. You need to spend a moment adjusting them to fit your ear properly. THEN, they sound outstanding and they never budge, even while running flat-out. They could maybe be a little "bass-ier" but the design and construction was worth the money. Plus they look like something different (i.e. better) than the ipod whites.
