Monster Turbine ComparisonUsability
Portable, no batteries required. Not easy to maintain.
Cable Connectivity (3.30)
It is exactly 4 feet and 9/16 of an inch to go from the plug’s cord guard to the left ear bud’s cord guard. This is average for a set of in-ears. It’ll reach your front pocket with some slack, unless you are of a formiddible height.Portability (8.00)
In-ear headphones are portable by design. They’re mostly cable, which is a thin gauge, with little plastic bits on one end and a small plug on the other. The CX 300-IIs are of average portability for in-ears. They don’t come with a case or anything to help you store them when you’re done listening, but they are small enough to just shove in a pocket.
Maintenance (2.00)
In-ears typically don’t give users great access to their inner workings. The CX 300-IIs are in this boat. The only thing you can do to clean or maintain the headphones is to remove the sleeves for cleaning. Some in-ears come with cleaning tools, but the CX 300-IIs trust that you can provide such things.
Other Features (5.00)
Battery
The CX 300-IIs do not require batteries to work. This is a marvelous thing because batteries are annoying and dumb.

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
