Editorial note

The Sennheiser CX 685 Sports earphones stand out for their in-ear design, offering prolonged comfort and excellent sound isolation, making them particularly suitable for sports activities. With a wide frequency range from 18 to 20,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 120 dB, these earphones ensure a rich and detailed audio experience. Additionally, the inclusion of extra ear tips in the packaging further enhances comfort and sound quality according to the user's preferences. However, a few drawbacks are worth mentioning. The 1.2 m cable, while offering some flexibility, may restrict freedom of movement during workout sessions. The lack of an integrated microphone may also pose a problem for those who wish to make calls or communicate online without additional equipment. Furthermore, while the in-ear coupling is effective for sound isolation, it may not suit all users, with some preferring a supra-aural model for optimal comfort over long periods. Lastly, the earphones are not water-resistant, making them less suitable for outdoor activities, especially in the rain. In terms of value for money, the product is reasonably priced, but the weight of 149 g for the packaging may seem high for earphones, which could complicate their transport. Despite these few limitations, the Sennheiser CX 685 Sports remains a solid choice for music lovers seeking quality sound during their sports activities.
