What's great about it: Great Fit, deep Bass, Iphone mic and controls
What's not so great: A little pricey, but worth it
Start off with I havent had these long enough to comment on durability, but for the 2 months I have had them, I have been extremely pleased. I have been searching for earbuds to use while jogging, yard work for years. These more than fits the bill. Lots of options with different sized ear buds and "ear fins." The most secure ear buds I have ever purchased. The noise canelling seems to help while mowing/flying as well. Bass response is great, but it is really the fit that sold me on these, and I am not disappointed.

What's great about it: Nice sound
What's not so great: Shorts out when running
First day out of the box used them for everything from commute to work to sitting at my desk. Worked great. Took the time and effort to get exactly the right fit with provided ear pieces. UNTIL I WENT FOR A RUN. The things shorted out in my ear every 30 seconds. For headphones designed for runner it is the only thing it can not do. OUCH.

What's great about it: Fits my ear and does not fall out
What's not so great: N/a
I have been searching for ear buds that fit my small ears and won't fall out while running for a long time and I have to say that these are the first pair that does not hurt my ears and actually stay put while running and sweating using the small buds with the medium fans. The manual cable control is nice too and not a bother when running.

What's not so great: Left side keeps falling out, then right, whats the point if you cant sweat and use them?
I have always been a big fan of the company and feel build a good product. But just started using them and whatever size ear bud I try as soon as I get into my run and sweat wont ever stay in. Its not like Im a giant or ears that put Dumbo to shame... Never had any problems with any other buds. Just normal guy who was excited to finally find the perfect ear buds for being active! Again feel good product if not using them to workout, but again whats the point of buying these ones then???

What's great about it: Excellent all around sound.
I purchased these yesterday after having a pair of Bose IE2's mangled by the cat. I got out to car, put these in and almost returned them immediately. I thought they sounded "tinny" and had lack of bass. I prefer a full, all around sound but even then the bass was almost non existent.
I decided to wait until today, look over some reviews and come to a decision to either keep these, get Bose again or look in to something else.
I ended up changing out the yellow silicone ear tips to the larger ones. That made a huge difference. They just plain sounded fuller all the way around.
I also noticed a lot of comments about the cord and controls. Personally I like the controls where they are at as they fall in middle of chest where I can reach and see them. With the Bose I used a Belkin iPod adapter to have controls in my hand instead of reaching up close to ears. The controls on these might be just right.
The only reason I didn't give a 5 rating is because I don't have my Bose here to compare to although initial impression is these sound just as good or maybe even better. I have also only had these one day. Main thing was to let people know to experiment with included ear pieces etc. before they return.

What's great about it: It works as promised: for working out
What's not so great: The yellow is a bit bright for my liking, but I must say they haven't been misplaced nor are they hard to see in my bag.
I wanted a pair of earphones that would take the abuse of a gym. I mean ALL of the gym, from weight room to steam bath. Three weeks after the purchase, and with using these in the steam room each day, they are still working just fine. These aren't Etymotic earphones and don't nearly have the sound quality and tone response, but they do a most adequate job, especially considering the price-point. I don't use the ear"fins", I just push the phones deep into my ear canal (perfect for the right bass response) and they stay in just fine - even running or on the elliptical. Works perfect on iPhone, iPad and Nano. Mic is great when using with iPhone...no one on the receiving end has complained about sound quality.

What's great about it: Fit and they stay in your ears during rigorous activity
What's not so great: should code left and right ear bud for easier distinction
After purchasing a number of ear buds for running and walking I found these. They were packaged well and arrived quickly. They were comfortable and fit very well. The sound is above average and they block most of the background noises making them a pleasure to use.

What's great about it: Stays in place
What's not so great: Not any better than $30 competitors
I use these for long runs and I really wanted a good balance of comfort and the ability to listen to music AND hear the cars around me. These fit those goals perfect. The earbuds are comfortable once you get the correct fit. They are easy to get in the correct position, music sounds great and I can actually hear the cars as they try to run me over!
The negatives are around the volume control (can be heavy) and there is a little cord noise. I've used other brands (Sony, Panasonic, v-mode, etc.) and most of those do not have the same amount of cord noise. The clip with the Adidas earbuds is not very good. I am constantly trying to get the small clip for the cord to be tighter. It never keeps the cord in place which cases more cord noise as well as the volume control to bounce.
Overall these are good, but it's hard to recomend them over the $30 earbuds. The only advantage is they stay put in your ear MUCH better. Is that worth $40?

What's great about it: they are perfect
I am very glad I read the reviews other customers left about headphones. I chose these over the bose ones of comparable value and price because of the microphone capabilities and the fact that they were reveiwed to not fall out of your ears. They were easy to fit and the many sizes of buds and wings to hold them in was convenient. I would recommend these to anyone who does heavy aerobic activity.

What's great about it: Sound Quality
What's not so great: Cheap Parts
For $70 the plastic clip should not have broken and the play/pause/next buttons should work. I don't abuse my things and I 'm rather careful with my belongings. The sound quality is impressive. The bass is good for such small ear buds and the his and lows or okay. The play button piece weighs the cords down so if you're doing something like jumping or playing a sport, then the buds will slip out due to sweat and gravity. They do include several pieces to change the bud size as well as support the bud placement. However, if you are not responsible with your things, then plan on losing them because they are small. Overall, the sound is good, but for $70 I expected to be blown away. It was made with cheap plastic parts. If you're going to spend this kind of money on ear buds then consider another brand that specializes in auido. Go buy running shoes or a soccer ball if you want something good from ADIDAS. When it comes to high quality sound, it's best to stick with those companies that only market audio equipment. ADIDAS cannot be great at everything they make.

What's great about it: Noice Cancellation, Comfort and durability
What's not so great: Mic is pretty sensitive, but nothing to stop you from purchasing them
I have been through several sets of earbud style headphones in the past couple years. Most either fall out of my ears, don't provide good passive noise cancellation or are easily destroyed. I ordered these cause they are water resistant (not for swimming but sweating) and had good reviews on passive noise cancellation. I wear them daily and have used them as Ear Protection on Helicopter and C-130 flights around Afghanistan. They are very comfortable and do an excellent job at keeping the noise out and the music sounding great.
The little ear wings are a little different when you first start wearing them but I have not had them fall out of my ears and once you are used to them you hardly notice they are there. The volume and start/pause button are very handy and works to start Nike+ for connecting to the shoe sensor and starting the workout.
My only issue is while using it to skype on my iPod/iPad the microphone is very sensitive and my wife reported either too much breathing noises or too much background noise... but it's Afghanistan and generators and planes/helicopters are pretty much everywhere.

What's great about it: Sound quality and rain/sweat proof
What's not so great: The inline microphone is not Android compatible for phone calls.
The sound quality is better than Bose. I'm an audiophile and a musician so sound quality is important to me. I bought these Sennheisers for outdoor workouts and the Bose earphones for indoor use. When I tested them, the Bose had excellent sound quality at 100% volume. I love my hearing too much to do that to myself. But these nifty little Sennheisers which cost $20-30 less than the Bose delivered excellent sound quality at 60% volume which is sustainable and will not cause hearing loss over long term use. So I returned the expensive Bose pair and I'm rockin' the Sennheisers! Perfect for use on the jogging trail. They are wonderfully durable and impervious to rain or sweat. The earfins keep the earphones in my ears and they are very comfortable. The inline microphone is not Android compatible for phone calls but does work for music pause/play.

What's great about it: Sound quality and comfort
I have been searching for a high quality set of ear buds for exercise for months. I have read review after review, and bought and returned multiple sets. I have spent 25 to 150 dollars. These earbuds have blown away every other pair I have purchased in sound quality hands down. In addition, they are extremely comfortable and have held up to some rough and sweaty workouts. Best electronics purchase I have mae in a while, and that is saying a lot!

What's great about it: Great sound, Comfortable
What's not so great: Expensive! But I guess you get what you pay for
I will admit I was uncertain if I should spend that much money on headphones. I've been an off and on jogger for 10 years or so. These are by far the best sounding headphones I've ever owned. I generally buy the clip on (hook around the ear) style headphones because I absolutely cannot stand for the buds to fall out or when they constantly have to be adjusted. These were hardly noticeable. After jogging 3 miles there was no discomfort at all. Regular apple earbuds tend to make my ears sore after awhile. They never budged, never needed adjusting. The sound is amazing a lot better than the apple earbuds that came with my iphone. I was hoping for superior sound quality for the money I was spending and these definately delivered. I listen to all kinds of music and there was plenty of bass and quality sound. Very pleased with my purchase. I didn't rate the durability due to the fact that i just bought them so hard to say.

After purchasing headphones atleast 2-3 times a year coz the silicon speaker cap went bad or the speaker went bad coz of usage neeeds, this product meets my actual need for headphones- Workout at the GYM. The fin design together with powerful speakers makes listening to your fav tracks, an excellent experience and with ample bass.
Perfect match for an athlete. Looking forward to more innovation from this unique partnership between Sennheiser and Adidas.

What's great about it: They're water resistant and iPod controls
What's not so great: The remote placement, wires do tangle easy
I bought this to use for the gym and running out on the road. used with a iPod Nano 5G. I picked these up to just for gym and outside activity use because I was using Beats By Dre: Tours, but they kept on falling out of my ears because I was sweating so much.
Sound Quality: Overall they do a good job providing sound. The high's and mid's are good, but the lows are so so. You don't really get a deep bass sound from the lows, but it's ok because I'm using at the gym and active outside activities and they do a good job. FYI - I have my iPod EQ set on Jazz.
Remote: The controls is not in the best place. I wear the cord under my shirt and I need to pull out of my shirt to access the remote / if the remote is out of my shirt then the excess cable tend to hit me in the face while running. But if I wear my cord outside of my shirt, then it's fine, but if you're running, the cord is gonna bounce all over the place.
Ear fins: It's important to get the right sizes that fit your ear, but my right side stays in place while the left one tends to slide out sometimes , but on certain days both of them stay in perfectly (go figure). While the ear fins do a decent to good job staying in place, after a period of time there is some irritation from the fins moving in the ear canal. Though it's bearable it's not enough to mark it down.
Best Uses: Gym / Working Out, trail running
