The MOST comfortable sports headphones I ever tested, and they sound good too!!!
When I was presented with an opportunity to review Senns new 686-series SPORTS headphones, I took a closer look at their 4 models and found the main difference to be focused around fitment style. While MX 686 and CX 686 share the same slide-to-fit adjustable fin mechanism, they have a different type of earpiece design with CX being a more traditional in-ear, while MX being an earbud type with special ear caps. I find their style to be perfect for those who wear glasses and can't have anything going over their ears. PMX 686 features a lightweight neckband with earbud style headphones that enable a shallow fitment - convenient for raising awareness around you without too much sound isolation. The last one was OCX 686 which features a more traditional in-ear design with an ultra lightweight over-ear hook. I found OCX model to be suited better for my needs with a super secure fitment and a better sound isolation. All these headsets come with in-line remote where you can chose either...
Sporty Ear Hook Headset!
This sports ear-canal ear hook type of headset is geared towards people with active lifestyle having Android based smartphones. This works with all devices that accepts standard 3.5mm earphone jack but specifications state mostly with 'Samsung' line of smartphones. I used Samsung Galaxy S4 as a test candidate and found that it works well.
This comes very well packaged to showcase the headset in a rather 'ostentatiously attractive' box and I found that it was rather difficult to open the contents. Once you get over that hurdle you will find the headset & the cable in good condition but worth mentioning a slight hassle to take the thing apart. I cannot state much about the 'Anti-bacterial' (SteriTouch) feature since that would require to analyse the bacterial content etc; but all I can say is that the cable is slippery rubbery looks well reinforced and help eliminate tangled wires and reduce cable noise...
Good sound. Comfortable clips. Android compatible sound controls.
Comfortable ear clips., good sound, clear mic, and most importantly for me the volume buttons work with my Android phone (Nexus 5). The cord length is right for a shirt pocket but a bit of a stretch for a jeans pocket. They also have something my old phones didn't a lapel clip. I'm mixed on that. No big del.
My audio education came from having a former recording sound engineer for a roommate for two years. He didn't turn me into an audiophile. That's too expensive and too time consuming. He did train me to like a well balance sound with no obvious emphasis on either the bass or treble. That's mostly what the Sennheiser' give.
I'd say that the phones are a bit warm. Most people probably prefer that. At least that's what the guy who sold me my current speakers said as he tried to talk me out of what are essentially studio monitors. These certainly don't have the almost clinical precision of my speakers but I don't expect that from earbuds. When I first got them I...
