The PMX70 Sport earphone get a big thumbs-up from me. For once I am very happy with Sennheiser and their PMX70 sport earphones, because recently, I have had real problems with them and their sports earphones. For more checkout my review on the Sennheiser MX70 VC Sport.
But following a confrontation with the UK Sennheiser directors themselves I was given these to try as a replacement product that better fitted my needs, which were 'to listen to music during sports' -- like the packaging says for the whole sports range!
FIT FOR THE PURPOSE In a brief phrase, go no further folks. If you want to do sports and listen to music these are try these ones. I have tried track sprints, 60m, 100m, 200m, 400m, stretching, ab crunches, a free weights, resistance machines, jogging, road running, treadmill aerobics, circuits, revolutions, the list goes on. During these activities they stay in the ears like a dream. They are very good and fit for the purpose of delivering music while doing sports.
SOUND They delivering solid volume (enough to drown out environmental noises if needed) very good low frequencies and adequate high frequencies. I use a iPod shuffle for sports because of the convenient small size, but if you have an MP3 player with an equalizer the 'adequate high frequencies' could potentially be changed to 'very good high frequency' delivery, in theory.
COMFORT They are very comfortable inside the ears too, which was very surprising! there was no need to push them inside the ear like plugs to get the driving bass and volume. They just sit inside the ear delivering music.
COMPETITIVE I own a few brands of earphones. Compared to Nike / Philips earphones I use with my Nike MP3 player the fit and sound quality of the Sennheiser is exceptional, I think Nike could learn some lessons here. Compared to my Sony earphones once again the fit is superior and the sound delivery system is a league apart. My iPod earphones are quite similar to the Sony experience to be honest, they are okay but in comparison I'll be using the Sennheiser PMX 70 for sport, leaving the lovely little white earbuds for the commute.
FINAL SAY I'm sorry to sound like an cheesy advert for them but to be honest, they are very good. If you think I'm fibbing please feel free to contact me.

Advantages: I'm hoping an angel will enlighten me because i can find any unfortunately. Disadvantages: They fall out the ears very easily & the cords splits in two weeks.
