Review on Sennhesier MX685 Adidas Sports Headphones by Kimberly Jackson

I understand why some people complain about the ear pads falling out. In fact, these are silicone rings that fit snugly around the headphones. Over time, they can stretch or loosen if they get caught on your ear or shirt. The cord is long, but it's the perfect length for where I place my smartphone when using these headphones on the driving range. The clip is almost essential to me as it holds just the right amount of wire under my shirt so I can take full golf swings without pulling on anything. The wires are encased in a silicone material that doesn't appear to transmit wind noise. . A strong wind blew across the open practice field, and nothing resonated or vibrated in the wires. The ear fins also seemed to hold phones in my ears. The sound quality is actually quite good for this type of driver. I really just want to filter out ambient noise (golf carts, people talking on the driving range, etc.) without losing situational awareness - and these headphones do the job. The connector itself is compact enough to work with smartphones and cases. It comes with a velcro pouch and different ear pads. I've found the default types that work best for me. They are very light and comfortable to wear for more than 2 hours at a time. I don't bike or run with the headphones, I've only used them on the driving range and they stayed in place through the hard turns. I used to use headphones while running and always had cable breaks at bend points from constant movement while running. I would argue that if the headphones weren't wireless, they would all eventually fail due to the constant flexing of the flimsy audio wires. Overall: 5/5 stars, lightweight, comfortable and reliable (to my ears at least), decent sound quality, doesn't block out all ambient noise so situational awareness is maintained.
