Pretty darn good for $5 headphones.......2007-12-26
This product is a steal. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds quite decent to me. I've been using it almost everyday for about a month now and it still hasn't died on me. I was worried that it wouldn't have the noice-reducing capabilities of my old j-buds, but they do, so i'm a very happy customer. Why not 5 stars? They don't come in black and it makes me worry that they'll randomly die on me any day now.
Worth the Price.......2007-12-24
While not the best in-ear headphones, the price of these certainly makes them better than almost anything else on the market. Not as comfortable as the apple version, but at 1/4 the price the difference is negligable. They do turn up the bass when used with an ipod, but using the "bass reducer" equalizer setting seemed to fix any problems. All in all, a good buy.
Very good for the price.......2007-12-21
I've used lots of earphones and these are superb. Great sound quality and very comfortable, I sometimes forget I even have earphones on. Only problem is that it takes little work to get the earphone to stay in my ear because I have big ears, but once it's in it's smooth sailing. Watch out for the silicone tips though, I accidentally stepped on the earphone and it fell off, it was pretty easy to put it back in though but nonetheless be careful.
stereo headphones.......2007-12-21
Nothing special about these headphones. When properly placed in the ears they do cut out external sound to a degree. Decent sound for the price.
Good quality.......2007-12-18
Great quality for the price. However if you plan to walk or run with your earphones never purchase this item. At least in my case they fall off a few times a minute while walking. I ended up taking off the plastic seal and then put them in my ear. Then it worked ok.

Excellent headset.......2007-12-18
After reading all the negative reviews about this product I decided to suck it up and give it a try. I've been using this headset for about 1-2 months now and I have no complaints so far. The microphone works great, the headset fits comfortably on head, and it has a sturdy frame. I mostly use it to play online games, but it's also good for listening to music, watching movies, etc. The only things that bothers me though is that sometimes when adjusting the volume it almost feels like I'm losing sound in one part of the headset, but it's not a big problem or it could be just me. Overall 5/5.
Good Product!.......2007-12-13
The headset has a good sound quality along with a good microphone quality, I tried it with many people on the net, it worked just fine! and by the way, its price is good too!
Keep Moving.......2007-12-12
So perhaps I got the bad seed in the bunch, but I really did not enjoy this product. The volume from the microphone is very very very low, even when it is set to high. Also, when it arrived, one of the ears of the headphones did not work. I would have shipped it back for exchange, but the cost of shipping was close to the price of the object, so why bother? Luckily, it wasn't that expensive. That being said, I guess you get what you pay for!
Ok at first, broke after extended use. Mic not great. Look elsewhere..........2007-12-09
I am online searching for a new gaming headset now as these broke, right on the side where they adjust into the plastic, so now they are trash. You get what you pay for. I usually love Logitech products, but this is not one I love. The mic was never great, people constantly having trouble hearing me even after lots of tweaking. I have a high-end sound card on my PC and this set just didn't do anything great with it.
Going to spend a bit more after I read review and get something nicer since I use it so much.
Look elsewhere.
Microphone sends noisy distracting sound when moved.......2007-11-27
There is some comfort, BUT when the microphone is adjusted, there is a static sound that interupts conversation. Logitec needs to do further engineering on the product.

Excellent sound unaffected by body motion!.......2007-12-24
I'm a treadmill runner who also lifts weights. The ear buds that came with the Shuffle my daughter gave me wouldn't stay in my ears in workouts because of body motion so I wanted something that wouldn't slip or fall out. I've worn these for about 10 75-minute workouts and also for one extended 4-5 hour leaf-raking. I can tell you that these are nothing short of terrific. The sound is excellent with good balance between bass and treble. Body motion is no problem at all. On the bench the wrap-around design sometimes bumps the bench, but it doesn't knock them out of my ears. A slight repositioning of my head when I'm bench pressing takes care of the bump.
I've never tried noise-canceling earphones, but these make me think I have all I need. The Y where I work out plays music, but it is not noticeable. This might be because I play my music loud. It doesn't seem too loud to me, but the volume certainly impacts how much external sound you hear. When I want to have a conversation, it is easy to remove these phones by just dropping them around my neck, like a necklace.
On harder workouts, I have had some perspiration trickle into my right ear, but I just dried it off. It created no problem.
The mint green color - a Sennheiser trademark apparently - is kind of cool.
Finally, headphones for running!.......2007-12-17
Let me say it right up front: the iPod has revolutionized my running. After 30 years of pounding the pavement, injuries were beginning to take their toll and boredom was becoming an issue. It was getting easier and easier to look out the door and say "Oh, geeze, it's overcast today; better not run."
The iPod changed that; running with programable non-skipping music was great. I found my motivation again.
EXCEPT.....
This earbuds that come with the IPod are terrible. The jarring thump of pounding the pavement pops them out every few yards. I was on a quest to find a replacement.
The Sennheiser PMX70s are the answer for any runner. The design places the earpieces comfortably in the ears. Soft rubber surround the peice so they are in there to stay. The headpiece wraps around the back of the head but does not come in physical contact, however, this design stabalizies the phones and keep them in place.
The sound is a vast improvemnt over the original issue earbuds and surpass any other "exercise phones" I have tried (and believe me, I've tried a lot). They will not top over the ear models for sound quality but for running, the sound is quite good with good highs and great bass (I recommend setting the iPod EQ on the "Loudness" setting). You can also hear outside noises so you can remain alert to the dangers of the road.
Best sports headphones ever.......2007-12-15
These are hands down the best sports headphones I have ever used. The sound is clear and accurate and they block out a lot of external gym noise. The neckband is comfortable and the headphones DO NOT slip at all. Great buy.
Great for exercising with...........2007-12-11
Really great headphones, especially when you go jogging or any other type of exercise as these seem to be the only headphones that I have ever purchased that actually stay on your ears when causing great physical moment. For example, the other week I was hit by a double-decker bus whilst jogging and they still stayed on! Even the paramedics were amazed...
Seriously, great headphones. Even the lime colour grows on you and gives the brand a unique quality (like the original i-pod white headphones). I suppose there is a practicality to the colour, for example they stand out and may give warning to others that your hearing maybe impaired to due to listening to music. Or maybe the designers were on mind-bending drugs, who knows?
The wire is long enough to make it comfortable when jogging, and the wire is also great as it is very good at remaining slack and doesn't hardly 'curl' up.
The sound is great, with good bass - which isn't normally good in regards to in the ear headphones. But the sound can only be great if you have a good mp3 player, CD player to go with it (and vise versa).
Two problems I have encountered, first they do hurt the ol' ears a bit after a while but I have never had a pair of inside the ear earphones (and I have had loads) that DO NOT ache/hurt after a while. But this problem only depends on when you were them. If you wear them for exercising, then an hour or so is probably the average time you spend wearing them.
Secondly, the ones I purchased seem to have a slight static/hiss problem from the connector to the mp3 that becomes obvious when the wire near the connector moves, but I think it was just a one off problem with mine, and it really isnt THAT noticable, but it is there.
All in all, a great set of headphones, Sennheiser always seem to be above more famous brands when it comes to quailty and comfort. I bought these after buying a set of Sennheiser ear muff type headphones for my PC, and the sound was amazing.
Best I've ever used.......2007-12-08
I have been running for 30 years and these are far and away the best sports headphones I have ever used. I just finished an hour run and they were completely comfortable the entire time. They never moved or fell out of my ears and they sound GREAT! They don't sound quite as good as my Ultimate Ears in-ear phones, but you shouldn't expect them to since the Sennheisers still allow you to hear sound around you, which is crucial for running. There was a little bit of wind noise if heading directly into a decent wind, but not enough to be a distraction. I can see why one of the reviews said there was a lot of wind noise while biking. These headphones blow away the Sony, Nike, and iPod headphones I have used in the past in sound quality, comfort, and stability. Get some and you won't be sorry.

Great sound, painful fit.......2007-12-20
I picked these up locally, having wanted a set of wireless headphones for my office.
- Sounds great. I start to get choppiness about 50 feet away from the base, but that's plenty for me, I really just want them for the 6 feet in my cube!.
- Battery life is OK, not great. Lasts maybe 4 hours of continuous play, which isn't long enough for me.
- Fit is horrible. My ears ache after wearing them for 15 minutes. They don't sit on my ears right, constantly having to fiddle with them and adjust them.
I would not buy these headphones again and would not recommend you do so.
These definetly fit the bill!.......2007-12-20
I was a bit worried after first purchasing these but I'm completely satisfied now that I have them up and running. I listen to the radio through my computer at work and needed something that was reliable but didn't tether me to my computer by the cord. These headphones work perfectly, they allow me to type at my computer and freely walk around the room and never get disconnected. They are also very comfortable and fit well over the ears with surgical rubber ear hooks. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge charge the item.
Very uncomfortable.......2007-12-12
Sound quality is OK but the loops around your ears are very uncomfortable. Can't wear for over an hour.
Just the sound.......2007-12-08
I should have paid more attention to the review comments telling me these headphones were uncomfortable. I already own a behind-the-neck wired headset from Logitech and they are quite comfortable. This wireless set; however, is poorly designed for human beings and they don't fit my cat either.
The 'phones and base unit have a hidden link code, so I could not pair the 'phones with my iPAQ; this is very irritating.
The batteries for both the base & 'phones are built-in rechargeable so the life of the batteries is the life of the product. The charge on the 'phones lasts maybe 3 hours, not so good at all.
I own several Logitech products and am quite satisfied with both the design and value of these items. The FreePulse unit is an exception to this. They pretty much suck.
The sound is great though.
Awesome.......2007-12-06
Seriously, being able to rock out wirelessly is such a godsend! I feel that they are very comfy on my ears and very easy simple and straightforward to use. No software just plug and play...also great sound and so lightweight! I dont share the dissapointment that others had with these. I think they are worth every penny.

Makes working out more enjoyable.......2007-12-25
These are awesome headphones. I dont find the green color garish at all. Also the kinks in the wire dont bother at all. They help keep the wire at a manageable length.
Most importantly, the sound is great. And they dont budge from the spot where they fit in the ears.
Great earphones for working out.......2007-12-19
These earphones are great for what they are intended to be used for, working out. I would rate the sound quality as very good, not great, and not quite what I would expect for Sennheiser. That being said, I would still reccommend these to anyone looking for something that will stay put while working out, even while running.
They do take a second to get in your ear at first, and I probably wouldn't recommend them to anyone with somewhat smaller ears.
Bottom line, they are a great product, they will stay in place, they hold up well to abuse (bouncing around, sweat, etc.), and they sound very good.
Good headphones for active people.......2007-12-15
I bought the Sennheiser MX75 about a month ago and I'm very pleased. They sound great and stay in place. These are definately made for active people running, walking, weight-lifting, or other active sport or job. You would have tug on the cord or hit them pretty hard to make them fall out or misalign, which is essential for active listeners. Coincidentally their stability in your ear also makes them sound better, since you won't need to readjust them all the time. Keep in mind that no plug-stlye headphone is ever going to give you booming bass like cup-style headphones, but these perform well enough considering their size. Besides, when exercising your thoughts probably aren't focused on sound quality details (or at least they shouldn't be!)
They have interchangeable pads to adjust to different size ears, but the actual speaker can't be made smaller. Sometimes I get a minor amount of discomfort [from one ear only] after wearing them an hour or so, but I still like them (I'm 27/male/5'7"). If you think you have petite ears they may not fit properly in the ear, and cause discomfort and/or poor sound quality.
If you don't need a headphone for exercising I would not recommend them, get a cup headphone with better sound instead.
If you run you need these...........2007-12-11
The only issues I have with these ear buds, both earphone sides are not equal length, I HATE this. Everything else just as advertised. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.
Earphones that finally fit!.......2007-12-08
I have never had pair of earbud headphones that were comfortable and actually stayed in place - until I bought these Sennheisers! I no longer have to adjust my headphones every 2 minutes at the gym or while running. While sticking anything in your ear will hurt after awhile, these are the most comfortable ones I've tried. My only minor complaint is that the flexible carrying case doesn't seem like it would protect the headphones all that well, but overall I am thrilled with these headphones!

Order Cancelled without any explanation........2007-12-22
I ordered these in combination with a metal detector for Christmas and now that Christmas is here, the order cancelled without an explanation. I have no idea as to the quality of the headphones, but there appears to be a problem with supply and distribution which will make me look elsewhere!

Shipping in 4 to 6 weeks? Try 4 MONTHS (maybe)! after waiting 6 weeks for it to be shipped, I am now told it will be another month or two before it ships. A Christmas present is turning out to be more of an Easter present. And no explanation given for the delay. I can't love the headphones if I never see them.

I recieved the headphones this week and hooked them up to my fast tracker and went out into the yard looking for treasure.

Audiovox became a pioneer in the wireless industry, selling its first vehicle-installed wireless telephones in 1984 as a natural expansion of its automotive aftermarket business. Its extensive distribution network and its long-standing industry relationships have allowed Audiovox to benefit from growing market opportunities in the wireless industry and to exploit niches in the consumer electronics business.
Amazon.com Product Description
Anyone who has installed a speaker system knows the worst part is figuring out how to hide the unsightly speaker cables, especially if your speakers are located across the room from the receiver. Enter this pair of Acoustic Research stereo speakers, which resolves the dilemma by eliminating speaker wires altogether. The system's powerful transmitter broadcasts its 900 MHz signal through walls, floors, ceilings, and other obstacles, giving listeners a wide array of installation options. Looking for a pair of high-quality speakers for the upstairs bedroom? No problem. Want to enjoy your favorite tunes in the basement without running speaker wire through the floor? Easy. Thanks to the system's 300-foot range, almost any home speaker scenario is possible, including positioning the speakers outdoors so you can provide the soundtrack for your neighborhood block party. And fortunately for listeners, the wireless setup doesn't compromise the quality of the audio, as the rich signal is drift- and static-free.
Each 10-watt speaker employs a 4-inch woofer and 1-inch dome tweeter, with a left/mono/right switch for added versatility. The speakers also include integrated power, volume, and tuning controls along the front faces. In lieu of an AV receiver, listeners can connect the speakers directly to most audio sources, including TVs, DVD players, VCRs, computers, and portable audio devices such as MP3 players. Alternately, they can connect the speakers to the rear channels of 5.1 surround sound receivers and take full advantage of the wireless design. Each of the speakers comes with its own AC adapter, though listeners can also install eight C-cell batteries per speaker for complete cordless use. The speakers even recharge ni-cad and NiMH batteries when plugged into an AC adapter. Other accessories include a 1/4-inch headphone adapter and a "Y" cable that connects the transmitter to the audio source.

Has it's +s and -s.......2007-12-25
I just received my Amazon purchase. Lucky for me that I already own 2 sets of these to know that this newer set is not working well. The manufacturer has also changed a very integral part of the transmitter (a volume level on its back) it seems.
First, they work fine for talk radio on mono. They are great to run a talk radio show on my MP3 player while I am out shopping. Chatter in a house with all these gangs from south of our border is helpful... ;-)
These transmitters also work great coupled with their 900mhz wireless headphones. They give my headphones a bit of a boost, so I wanted a 3rd set, not for the speakers, but for the transmitter. As I said, I have two, so a third back up would be nice. I run two (one in the front room and another in a back room (one being unhooked obviously).
Now for the fun stuff:
1) These speakers (not transmitters) have suddenly died on me for no reason. If I didn't have two sets, yes, their customer service could feed it to me as they did for another customer here. Unfortunately for them, they would have been hard-pressed to answer why one speaker is dead and the other three are dandy. What I am saying that after using these for a few years, I have had to return several sets to Best Buy whence they came (I purchased extended warranties, which I would advise you to do if you buy these.)
2) On many of my sets, either the lights did not work properly out of the box or they died in time. On this set, they are blue on the transmitter out of the box, when the power is hooked up. NONE of my prior sets have ever done this. They are supposed to be blue on the front of the transmitter after the sound begins to play to the speaker. That way you know blinks rates, etc. If the transmitter is not blinking while playing sound, turn down your volume. This new set is always a solid blue, and there is no way to adjust its back or to know if something is wrong. Well, there is something wrong---it's light never goes off! Even when I am sleeping-waaaa.
3) I am not sure if this is caused by the blue light on the transmitter, but when I hit PLAY on my sound source, my o my do my headphones freak. So do my old AW-871 speakers (I have bothered undoing the new speakers, since these defects are going back.) I am going to lose my hearing from this for sure. It is a sound that it makes at first, that my other two sets does not, nor should these. I am going to guess that without the volume at the back of the transmitter, they turned it up wide, but even with my MP3 player and headphones almost all the way down, the sound is still going down.
Bottom line is that these can be great and irreplaceable for what I use them for, BUT they are not made well, never have been, and I don't think that their new version has fixed a thing. Rather than fixing problems, they just made them even cheaper. Goody
AR AW871 wireless speakers.......2007-12-20
The wireless speakers are great and they were very easy to install. My only disappointment is that the volume is controlled on the speakers themselves; no longer can I turn the volume up or down on my receiver, and my remote for the reciever is useless. It's not a major drawback since I don't play music a lot. I would think if I did, that would be a problem. If AR would come up with a remote for these speakers, that would help.
Worst buy ever!!.......2007-12-10
These speakers worked great for about a month and then all of a sudden they lost signal and stopped working altogether. Tried to contact the company, they siad there was must be to much interference in my home, this was causing them not to work.
Great for a party.......2007-12-09
I purchased this as a gift to my parents so they could have outdoor parties. We love it. The sound is fair to good depending on the signal, but it served its purpose for bringing the music outside. The good thing is that the music still plays on the stereo inside while the speakers are on. We have also used it with our iPod and it was fabulous as well. Great buy!
Not the very best........2007-11-09
Acoustic Research AW-871 Wireless Stereo Speakers It was easy to install, and the sound is good. I have a problem with a popping sound. Even when the stereo is off. One or both of the speakers will pop on and off, for no apparent reason.

Very nice for the price.......2007-12-23
I saw these and ordered to use with a portable DVD player I use in marketing a product I sell. They are light weight and comfortable and are far superior to the internal speakers on the unit. Now my clients can watch and listen to the DVD while in a crowded coffe shop or other venue and not disturb anyone around them by turning the volume up in order to hear.
Great for the price.
Are you old fashioned?.......2007-12-20
I think the biggest selling point for this product is the comfort it offers to consumers. The headphones weigh no more than a standard women's headband. The speaker foam material does not feel scratchy. The speakers themselves sit comfortably on top of the ear rather than in or around it.
The sound is focused into the ear canal rather than dispersed randomly into the environment, increasing the quality of the sound you hear and decreasing the amount of sound those around you hear. It also seems to cancel out white noise and soft static, further increasing the quality of sound experiences.
The speaker foam is sturdy and secured to the speaker it surrounds. Having been used constantly and dropped and packed in luggage lots of times, the speakers continue to perform excellently and the plastic bits are still mostly intact. The headband can adjust to fit most head size, but the morbidly obese with large heads should probably look for headphone bands made of sturdier material.
I think these headphones are one of best thing on the market today for those people who have no interest in keeping up with the Joneses. Although the price for this level of quality can't be beat, watch out for the high shipping costs they slap on the price if you are purchasing a pair online. City pedestrians and city inhabitants that use bikes or subways to get town around might want to purchase this product at an electronics store near them.
OK for the Price.......2007-12-13
I recently bought these headphones as for a low cost replacement set for the office. Although they were very low priced at $5, I find them to be dissapointing all the way around. They feel brittle when adjusting, grab your hair, feel itchy and uncomfortable and the cord is very thin. The worst aspect is that the volume control only allows you to adjust it a small amount. So if you're on a PC you still have to use the computer to adjust or mute the sound.

Excellent Small Radio.......2007-12-26
This is simply the best portable AM/FM radio I've found. It's very small and digitally tuned with presets.
For the non ipod owners.......2007-11-16
For the money, this little walkman is worth it. My gym is in the bottom floor of a condominium so the reception is not very good, but once outside it improves. It serves it's purpose.

Its an ok product.......2007-11-09
my only complain is that is does not get great reception. Not bad for the price but it would be better if the reception was better.
Good One.......2007-10-30
My son got me this little gem for my birthday last year, mainly because I was admiring his SFR-M37V when he was home visting.
The Radio works very nicely for my walks in the morning on AM or FM. What others say is true though it does not do well on real weak stations on AM during the daytime because of it small internal antenna. I would think this would actually work to advantage in a large metropoliton city though because it would not have as much bleed over from other powerful stations.
At any rate it receiver does work well and in the evening I listen to 1100 on AM in Cleveland from the St. Louis area, and also pick up all the clear station power house stations in New Orleans, Chicago, Denver, Nashville, etc.
Contrar to some reviews here I think this little receiver has excellant sound, so if you get a one that sounds bad send it back for an exchange.
This is a rugged little radio, my son has climb many of the highest 115 mountains in the east with this radio in the winter. He uses it for the weather band.
It seems to do very well on batteries also considering it is a digital radio.
All in all very good radio for the money. I would actually have rated this radio at 4 1/2 stars if possiable.

You get what you pay for - poor quality & lacking features.......2007-12-10
I put this on my wishlist because I didn't want friends spending a lot of money, but I could use a CD player. It feels flimsy and cheap. It goes through batteries like crazy. There is no way to stop it at a particular location and re-start later at that same location. If you hit pause and are delayed coming back, the batteries are dead. The left side of the headset already stopped working (I've had it for about 1 1/2 months of minor use). I do not recommend this to anyone. It's very annoying.
Not so pleased.......2007-11-18
This item skipped at the lightest movement & the sound was not good at all. I gave it away. I purchased a different CD player. I have had 2 Coby CD players & have been dissatisfied with them both. I won't buy Coby again, no matter how cheap. You get w
