I know, sometimes I feel like introducing myself as Mr. Frogskin. I guess I should be glad I don’t have a site offering free coupons for Preparation H!

Hi Sunglasses,

(I’m entertained by these keyword rich names, that’s one reason why I allow them)

You can always find good closeout deals on electronics gear and many other products. Somebody is always running a sale or coupon or rebate deal. Sometimes a deal isn’t such a good deal and there are better alternative products available. That’s one of my goals with my reviews, to provide a good, realistic, look at products that are on sale and if they’re a good deal or not.

Thanks for the tip. In the end, I just let the Woot come and go … they’ve had enough of my cash over the last few months. I’m serious, that site is like crack for geeks.

Glad I passed on the Sennheiser MX70 Sport Earbuds … I’ll look for an alternative elsewhere.

Hi Frogskin,

It’s my opinion that the sound quality and comfort quality of these earbuds aren’t a significant improvement over the stock earbud headphones that come with the iPod, Sansa, Zune or other decent quality digital music players. If someone is seeking a cheap replacement for a lost or broken earphone set, then they might be a good deal. But, if they’re looking for a quality upgrade, then they should save their money.

Ugly green or not, I see that the Sennheiser MX70 Sport Earbuds are todays offer on Woot.com for $13 plus $5 shipping. At that price, I might not be too fussy about the sound quality!

Bright green? Are you serious? Bright green? Just on the color alone, there is no way that I would ever buy these Sennheiser MX70 Sport Earbuds.

What a horrid fashion statement that would make … My Gothic dresses — which of course are largely black — paired with a set of bright green headphones.

And given that the sound isn’t very good either for the Sennheiser MX70 Sport Earbuds, according to your review, these really would make a very bad buy for me, or any other Goth girl!

It seems like an incredibly bad idea for Sennheiser to sacrifice sound quality in order to bring the price point down. They’ve managed to achieve a really good brand awareness by selling high quality earphones with excellent sound.

Why bother selling something that isn’t as good as the rest of their range, simply in order to compete with a bunch of other manufacturers who don’t share their commitment to creating quality headphones?

Thanks for the heads up about the Sennheiser MX70 Sport Earbuds, I’ll be sure to steer clear of those.
