Comfortable for an in-ear model
Decent isolators.
Good for airplane travel.
Heavy, bulky, near-useless remote presents durability issues.
Introduction
Meet the Sennheiser CXC 700s, a set of active noise-canceling in-ears that are probably best used on an airplane flight. While these headphones are not well-suited to use in the outdoors, or at a computer, the active noise cancellation unit employed by the Sennheiser CXC 700 offers slightly better attenuation than most on-ear or over-ear headphones. Still, there are some significant durability issues that should give most people that are not frequent travelers some pause.

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
