ah yes now that skits over let's start with the physical overview of these
0:33
headphones at the end of the nicely textured sporty looking green cable we
0:37
have a right angle four pole connector which I'm very happy they went with as
0:41
it can be very annoying to run with a vertical connector coming out of a
0:44
smartphone that is ARM mounted moving up
0:48
the cable we have one of the smallest yet best features of these sporty iners
0:52
the tiny plastic clip why is the tiny plastic clip so cool well it's
0:55
adjustable from anywhere to the 3.5 mm connector to the remote and will make
1:00
literally on the Run Cable Management a breeze cables flopping around during
1:04
your workout can be incredibly frustrating and this little clip will
1:07
help a lot continuing on we have the remote I mentioned earlier which happens
1:12
to feature a microphone on the back these headphones come in different
1:16
models depending on what phone you have be sure to check out sennheiser.com
1:20
compatibility to make sure yours will work for you if your phone does work
1:25
with that little remote you can use it to interact with your phone in a number of ways pressing the middle circle
1:29
button will accept or end a call or holding it down for 2 seconds will
1:33
reject said call before it even starts if you're listening to music that same
1:37
button can be used as a single quick tap for play or pause and then for a longer
1:43
two second tap to go on the next song in your list that's it for the circle
1:47
button and the plus and minus buttons are pretty self-explanatory as they only
1:50
control volume next up is the little slider thing that can yet again help
1:54
with cable management while I appreciate that they included this and I'm sure
1:57
some people will use it I personally find it rather annoying so I'll just
2:01
leave it at the top of the remote where it won't uh bug me and we can move on to
2:05
the iners themselves the first thing I noticed when I grab these was just how
2:08
boxy the around the ear part was and I was sure they would be uncomfortable and
2:12
I'm okay with admitting it I was super wrong where these do look boxy on the
2:17
outside and square like on the inside they're actually more rounded and softer
2:21
the experience of wearing them is great they were very light and I wasn't even
2:25
really aware that they were there other than the fact that they were in my ear I
2:29
would probably foret that they were there if they just had the outside part
2:33
very soft nice experience for ear adapter Sennheiser has supplied some
2:37
antimicrobial stere touch ones with small medium and large for your
2:42
insertion pleasure I don't have much data on just how clean these stere touch
2:45
adapters are but looking at their quick guide if you happen to get them sweaty
2:49
and gross you can just put them under some tap water and then hang them to let
2:53
them dry not something I've seen or I would actually ever really recommend
2:57
with most other headphones moving on to audio quality these 20 ohm impedance 18
3:02
to 20,000 HZ frequency response earbuds
3:05
sound actually quite good I have to admit it wasn't all that surprising
3:09
giving siser pedigree but workout people do love their extremely high volumes and
3:14
booming bass so this is mainly what I tested them with and I'm happy to admit
3:18
that these headphones can hold their own in these categories as well so in
3:22
conclusion if you're looking at to starting a workout routine or if you already have been working out but you're
3:27
looking for a new pair of in this might be great option for you they're super
3:31
easy to clean they're safe to haul around with you and they're around 100
3:34
bucks and sound damn good for it I know for myself at least that these will
3:38
happily be replaced in my Apple earpods and spring clip setup which weren't the
3:43
ones that I crushed by the way would you guys like to see more workout gear
