“These are great headphones for working out, or just using in general with a smartphone. In the past I've used isolation earbuds made by Shure, Klipsch, Sony, and Skullcandy. These Sennheiser earbuds have superior sound quality and isolation to all the others except Shure. Shure earbuds have the best sound quality and isolation but aren't really moisture resistant, don't stay in the ears well during exercise, and the smartphone microphone sucked on the Shure earbuds.

These stay in the ears during rigorous sweaty exercise, and provide pretty good sound. Also, when you want to make a call, the microphone works very well at picking up your voice without a lot of ambient sound. I haven't had any comments or complaints from people when talking to them on the phone with these.”

“Awesome sound and the most comfortable in-ear headphones I've every owned; superior comfort to Beats! Rubber blades comfortably keep them in position whilst exercising.”

“Picked up te head phones based on reviews so I thought I would write one.

Sound: The sound is great, bass/clarity are excellent.

Function: very poor, the first two workouts they stayed in my ear but a week later, they were continuously falling out mid-exercise. This would happen wether I was running, lifting, cross training... anything. Had to return them, I was getting too frustrated fixing them every two seconds.

Haven't really found a good pair for working out yet and trust me I have been through dozens of pairs of headphones.”

“After figuring out which ear pieces actually fit properly and how to put them correctly in your ears, the product is great! I have worked out with them every morning for a month and they don't budge out of my ears. The main reason for this specific purchase was I was looking for a secure, decent sounding, microphone ear bud set to use while getting my sweat on. Running 3-7 miles each morning and weight training afterwards these earbuds haven't failed me. Another great thing to utilize is the cord clip because if you don't clip the mic'd piece to your shirt you will hear some hallow pounding sounds from the impact on your person. As far as the sound, it is better than average. Not as crisp as BOSE or as hard hitting as BEATS but they serve their main purpose of quality headphones while exercising. That's why I own multiple headphones. Try them and you'll be happy with the purchase.”

“DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU WANT AN ACTUAL SWEAT RESISTANT PRODUCT. These aren’t it. They get just a little sweat in them, and they get stuck on the present volume, and then the song advance/play/stop control fails. They have to completely dry out in order to be used again. NOT FOR EXERCISE as advertised. It’s a ripoff.”

“These earbuds are a good value for the price. They offer good sound quality (not audiophile quality), in line volume rocker which also plays and stops music, skips tracks and answers calls and iPhone 4S Siri control. They come with 3 different sized sets of in ear tips and 3 different sized sets of the black in ear holder.

In all, I find these earbuds to be comfortable for long periods of wear ( I wore them for over 2 hours during a half marathon in May) and they will not wiggle loose with sweat. These are great exercise earbuds and I would highly reccomend them if you need a comfortable earbud to get sweaty with that will stay put.”

“Very good headphone for exercise, and even daily use. The sound quality is nothing to write home about, but it certainly blows any pair of skullcandy's or cheap "checkout isle" ear buds out of the water. I have had these for about five months now, and be warned, they do show wear. They are not particularly durable, as the plastic around the wire just before the jack has broken for me. While that is not a big issue, it is annoying. One thing I wish these headphones had was a more pliable cable. If you ever coil this around your phone, it will never leave that shape, which gets quite annoying. That being said, I was overall pleased with these headphones”

“These looked cool online. Seemed relatively inexpensive. Water resistant, good for sports.

Those are the plus sides to these headphones.

Buds didn't fit in the outer ear canal no matter which size of attachments I used (wound up making these into noise canceling headphones by buying "make your own ear plugs" silicone kit and attaching them inside). They never stay in my ears for any rigorous or extended exercise, which detracts from the reason for owning these, and they are not that loud - this may have something to do with them not fitting in the ear (like I initially thought they did), but with that, you can never get the music loud enough to drown out the chatty-kathys at the gym (or the terrible gym music).”

“I was on a year-long hunt for the perfect running and exercise headphones. I destroyed at least a dozen pairs of headphones before I found these. These win, hands down, over every other product in their class on the market. My criteria were wired, sound-isolating earbud-style headphones that are not connected to each other with a plastic band. The fins, while unorthodox and unique, are extremely effective. I have never had a problem with these falling out of my ears, and the three sets of different fin and ear canal sizes the product ships with ensure a custom fit. The fins and the earpieces are soft and and flexible enough to not cause pain over time as some headphones tend to do. They are lightweight and provide a full, satisfying sound that doesn't skimp on bass. A winning combination.

These really are undoubtedly the best headphones for working out that I have found, but they too are not without their flaws. As other reviewers have noted, the microphone may stop working. Mine did after about a month, I attribute this to sweat. The microphone unit generally ends up under my shirt and against my skin. If it gets too wet, it will start to send odd signals to the phone, like turn the volume to full (this has been painful), or turn on Voice Control. If you keep the microphone dry, you're good. Or get it without the microphone. I find that I reserve these for working out, so they stay in my gym bag regardless. I had rarely ever used them to take a phone call when the microphone did work. If they do break, Sennheiser offers a repair program where you pay a fee and send the headphones in. I have yet to send mine in.

On another note, these also work well on airplanes and other noisy environments. If someone is standing three to four feet away from you talking to you, you're unlikely able to hear them without removing the headphones, regardless of whether music is playing or not.

Overall, an mazing product that is ideal for exercise and travel.”

“So these are NOT noise cancelling ear phones, but they are good. The only issue I am having so far is finding the correct fit with all the sizes. All in all I am happy with them, but would probably try a different brand next time. UPDATE: I've had these since Christmas, and less than 3 months later, both stems to the earbuds have broken and both earbuds are ripped. I do use them at least once a week during exercise and a couple nights a week on the computer watching videos, so not excessive in my opinion. I would not recommend these earbuds to anyone.”

Through the real user review of Sennheiser CX 680i Adidas earbuds, it can be seen that it is a good product for exercise that can satisfy users, but it also has shortcomings,It is a wired earuds, which obviously has the trouble of cable winding. Moreover,its in-ear design can easily bring discomfort or even pain to the ears after long-term wearing, and earbuds can easily fall out of the ears during exercise.There are many headphones in the market, and the most comfortable design is bone conduction headphones, because it is not plug into your ear. Therefore, if you want to find a headphone with a more comfortable wearing experience, Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphone is a good substitute.

Hi Runner is a bone conduction headphone.The advantage of this type of headphone is that the ears are free and you can hear the surrounding noise. Safe, light, comfortable, sound quality, easy to use... It is really an ideal headphone for sports and daily life.

Wissonly is the fastest-growing brand in the past six months. Their team is a technical expert in the field of bone conduction headphones. As early as 10 years ago, it began to develop bone conduction headphones that do not hurt the ears. With the excellent bone conduction vibration unit optimization scheme, it has been recommended by many ear doctors and has been recommended by many YouTuber.

Wissonly is a wireless bone conduction headphone with Bluetooth and MP3 modes. You can use the Bluetooth mode when you are in a place with a Bluetooth signal, and you can use the MP3 mode in places where it is not convenient to carry a mobile phone such as underwater sports. They are also very powerful in MP3 mode. They have 32G built-in memory and can store 5000 songs. Their battery life is strong, and they can listen to music for 10 hours, which makes up for the disadvantages of wireless headphones.

In terms of fit and comfort, the overall frame of the Wissonly Hi Runner is made of adjustable aviation-grade titanium steel, which can adapt to different sizes of head circumference and ensure the Fit and comfort of wearing. The surface of their headphones is made of high-tech hypoallergenic silicone material, which does not contain chemical ingredients to avoid allergies. The overall touch of the headphones is as silky as a baby's skin, which avoids uncomfortable situations when worn for a long time. And they are very light, less than 30g, and they will not feel heavy when worn.

When you sweat a lot when running or doing other sports, or when it suddenly rains when you run or exercise outdoors, then the waterproof performance of sports headphones is very important.As the flagship model of Wissonly,the waterproof grade of Wissonly Hi Runner Sports Bone Conductivity Headphone reaches IPX8 waterproof grade higher than the industry standard. It allows the wearer to work normally when swimming or diving, not to mention sweat prevention or ordinary waterproof.

Due to the special technical principle of bone conduction headphones, it is more difficult to improve the sound quality. The Wissonly Hi Runner subverts the traditional sound quality solution and uses a large wire-frame vibration unit as a breakthrough. Through structural optimization, the effective vibration area is increased, so that the sound has a good performance in both treble and bass.
