Review of Sennheiser Sport Line PMX 70 Consumer Headphones

Ergonomic design is everything when it comes to sport, and Sennhesier fully understand this.  The ergonomic neckband has a vertical transducer system to ensure optimum fit and comfort.  The hardwearing and resilient materials used are sweat and water resistant, making them perfect for hot sticky sessions down at the gym, or running through the park in the rain.  A cable clip is provided to stop you getting in a tangle, and the cable is completely round making it very hard to get in a knot.  The cable is bright green, as is the earbuds and the retraction slides.  The cable clip is dark grey, matching the rest of the headband, and the small arms on the outside of the earbuds are a silver white colour.  

Apart from the aesthetical features, the PMX 70 headphones have powerful neodymium magnets for a balanced, detailed sound production.  They are completely washable, and the 3.5mm jack makes them MP3, CD, DVD, and PMP player friendly.

We managed to get a go with the Sennheiser PMX 70 sport headphones at the Best of Stuff Show 2006, and we were very impressed.  They feel nice to touch, and are completely comfortable when sitting on your head.  Even with long hair they lay nicely over it, and feel totally secure.  Jumping up and down like a mad woman, and running around a few stalls gave the headphones a good run for their money, and they didn't budge at any point.  Sonic ability was great, providing us with a crystal clear performance when using them with the Creative Labs Zen V 2GB MP3 Player. 

Overall Opinion

If you don’t mind the colour then we suggest you snap up a pair of these Sennhesier PMX 70 Sport headphones.  For this price you’re not going to get much better.
