Usability
Portable. Not easy to maintain at all.
Cable Connectivity (3.63)
The iPhone 3G S’ cord is 3 feet, 6.5 inches inches long. This is an average length for a set of in-ear headphones. It’s short enough to not create a lot of slack when it’s attached to a media player in your pocket.
If you want to connect to a stereo system or something, these headphones aren’t really long enough to be feasible.
Portability (8.00)
These headphones are quite portable, quite possibly because they’re meant for use with an iPhone 3G S, a portable electronic device. The cord is relatively short and in-ear headphones aren’t particularly big. You shouldn’t have any problems carting these around.
Maintenance (1.00)
There really isn’t much you can do to help maintain your iPhone 3G S headphones. They don’t really disassemble, and there’s no sleeves to change out. They have a grid covering their front end that’s fairly hard to clean. It can be removed, but the internal wires are attached. This means you can’t really replace it unless you have a set of spares and a soldering iron.
Other Features (7.00)
Battery
These headphones don’t require any batteries. Batteries are a pain to keep track of, so we award points to any headphones that don’t require any.
Remote & Mic
These headphones have a remote and a mic, which will let you take phone calls or perform basic media playback controls.
Volume Control
There’s a volume control on the headphones’ pendant. It will let you control volume. That’s about it.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
