(More customer reviews)After 2 years of use, I finally killed my beloved Sennheiser MM 50 iP headset. Since their death was due to user error, I went looking for a replacement set, and found the "better" MM 70 iP headset instead. Talk about messing with a good thing!
The biggest issue is that the cables on the MM 70 have been completely redesigned, and are now a total mess. It's a bizarre hybrid of Y and J style-design that manages to avoid the best of both styles, resulting in cables going every which way but comfortable. And even with the included shirt clip, they don't stay where you want them. Despite the clip, the cables tend to slide everywhere, and if you pull the earbuds out to lay on your shoulders, there's a good chance they'll end up falling off. Speaking of the shirt clip, it's designed to clip onto the thicker part of the cable, but due to the placement of the mic and the Y connector, the clip is so low I feel like I'm clipping it on my stomach! And to top it all off, the connector at the headphone split is heavy enough that even with the shirt clip, it pulls the whole headset down and to the left. The mic now includes volume controls along with the play/pause button, and while the volume buttons are nicely placed and easily found via touch, the play/pause button is so recessed between them that it's hard to press, sometimes taking 3 tries before it works.
Cable issues aside, the sound quality is good, at least on par with my mm 50 iP series and perhaps even better. But it just wasn't enough to make up for how uncomfortable the mm 70 is for me to wear.
In the end, after only one day, I packed the MM 70s back up and ordered a new set of the mm 50.
