I think the connector might be going a bit now (it's either that or my 4 year old iPod) but they are comfortable and they stay on my ears. The individual type tended to fall off (mainly when I was rowing and getting a lot sweater than when I run).
sallykate Aug 2012 3:01pm, 2 Aug 2012 2,786 posts	0 sallykate Oh and Sennheiser customer service is good if they break within a year. I bought some foldable headphones for my husband which he used almost daily when commuting. The cable broke where it joined to the headphones after about 10 months; Sennheiser sent a new pair as a replacement without question.

andydgg Aug 2012 7:42pm, 2 Aug 2012 14 posts	0 andydgg went through two pairs of the seinheisser orange ones and both stop working first time I ran in the rain, I sent one pair back and got a replacement which lasted all of a couple of days till it rained again, using karrimor from sports direct wrap around that look just like senheiser, sound as good and cost £4.99 as opposed to the 20 quid the seinheisser cost, and so far have lasted in all the rain we've had this last couple of months save your money and buy the cheaper ones
DeeGee Jan 2014 10:21am, 27 Jan 2014 15,280 posts	0 DeeGee I've been using a pair of Sennheiser over-the-ear deelies for just over a year, but they now seem to be on their way out. I'd buy another pair, but I found, strangely, that if I plugged them into a phone to listen to music, I couldn't hear anything unless I was holding down the volume control. This isn't normally a problem as I use an MP3 player where the problem doesn't occur, but sometimes, just sometimes, I only want to carry one device with me. So I'm looking for a replacement, ideally before Quadzilla. I don't want to pay stupid money for them - I find that I seem to go through headphones quickly. However, I do want to be able to hear speech over the sound of traffic noise and I don't want to be conscious that they're falling out. That's why I've generally gone for the over the ear things. I'm not a fan of neckbands. I don't need controls on the cable or a hands-free mic.
