5.0 out of 5 stars Great replacement for MX500, June 26, 2008

By	David OTrakoun - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was running with me MX500's on. The wire got caught on a hook shaped door handle and I broke the earphones, so I needed a replacement.

Detailed description:
The MX660s have a single, round tube insulation instead of the kind that clearly separates left and right channels. The wire doesn't twist as much because of this. The cord is Y shaped.
The foam pads that came with the MX660s had a very small opening and fit very snugly onto the earphones. They're great once you get them on. I remember the ones on the MX500s were loose and I eventually lost them (got replacements).
The L/J shaped plug is noticeable thicker than the kind on the MXx00 series. So is the volume control. Overall the construction on the MX660's is not thicker, but sturdier.
The wire is long enough that I can keep my MP3 player in my pocket and still move my head around freely with them on.
It comes with a little pouch I'll never use, and a plastic windy thing with places for the earphones that I might use one day.

Sound:
SO MUCH BASS. Significantly more than the MXx00 headphones! The rest of the sound is balanced. If there was an equalizer equivalent, I'd say it would look like this:

+12 ....
________....
0____________.......
____________________
-12_________________
___ 18Hz _________ 21KHz

Super heavy lows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds great!, July 22, 2008

By	K. Page "kailam" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very good sound quality, works great. The 'volume control' only controls a small range of volume though. It's not meant to replace the volume control on your device. But otherwise very worthwhile.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK but not great, August 30, 2008

By	Charles S. Pickard "stereo buff" (Jacksonville) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always been a Sennheiser fan, and own 5 sets of headphones. Unfortunately, these are so-so. Not a great sound and not that comfortable on the ears.

I hate to admit it, but the orignal Apple IPOD earbuds sound better. I need to also say that I'm an audiophile, and in the upper end of headphones, Sennheiser is terrific. But for low-end earbuds, these do not stand out.
