The PMX 680 excellent ergonomics ensure long-term comfort without sacrificing wearing stability or impacting sound quality as you actively move about.

The PMX 680 meets all the attributes I need and more!
They have GREAT sound; I was astounded when I heard the quality of sound from what I originally thought were glorified earbuds. They compare favorably to my Grado SR 60s in sound quality.
The headphones are surprisingly comfortable; but, at the same time they are tight enough to stay securely in place. Also, the neckband doesn't rub and make noise. And, being neckband headphones, they can be worn with a bike helmet. Also, they don't completely plug your ears so you can hear important outside noises, (like cars or someone yelling at you).
Finally, water resistance, superior materials, nighttime visibility and the options for cable length are all icing on the cake.
Highly recommended!
