Sennheiser PXC 250-II

ComfortIsolation
Capable of a high volume without distortion. They don’t isolate well, even with active noise cancellation turned on.
Isolation (4.87)
The PXC 250-IIs feature a pretty lackluster active noise cancellation feature. Switching it on will block out some additional bass noises—which you’ll definitely notice if there’s a low, droning sound somewhere—but it won’t create a huge difference. Additionally, it creates some mid-range noise.

Leakage (7.57)
The Sennheiser PXC 250-IIs weren’t great at keeping their sound contained. At a moderate volume in a quiet room, we could hear a whisper from the headphones; loud playback was definitely noticeable. If you’re wearing these headphones in a quiet location, you should definitely be wary of your playback’s volume.

Maximum Usable Volume (6.41)
We found that the Sennheiser PXC 250-IIs can only output about 104.92dBSPL before their distortion starts to become unmanageable. This isn’t to say the headphones aren’t capable of playing louder music, it’s just the music won’t sound as great as it should.

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
