Headphones again

Discovery Dave Jun 2013 11:50am, 24 Jun 2013 12,727 posts	0 Discovery Dave Just wondering whether the time-honoured Fetch consensus recommendation of the Sennheiser PMX 70 / 80 still stands? My second (or third? I lose count...) pair are starting to rust and fall apart now, so I was wondering whether there are any newer/better/comfier/less rust-prone options, or if these are still the most sensible balance of price and function? --- Disclaimer: The existence of this thread does not endorse racing with headphones, running under the wheels of cars and bicycles, or singing along with B*Witched tunes out loud in locations where one might be recognised and/or punched.

No rust as the body is entirely plastic. They are not sports specific (I find wrap-around sports earphones awkward) but I've never had any problems running with them. If you found the dangling cord annoying you could just put the cord round the back of your head/pull the cord grip up.
