It’s early days for the Sennheiser Omx80 sport headphones, and there are precious few reviews to look at to get a real feel for how well these headphones live up to their promise.

But based on Sennheiser’s earlier efforts to satisfy joggers, cyclists and anyone else taking vigorous exercise, these sports headphones look promising.

The earbuds are small, but deliver strong a bass-driven stereo sound. Of course, you won’t get the same sound quality or range you would get from headphones with larger diameter drivers. But when you’re out running, or lifting weights, you don’t expect top sound quality.

But you do expect your headphones to be comfortable and to stay in place. The Sennheiser Omx80 have flexible hooks which wrap around the back of your ears. Of all the designs out there, this is probably the simplest and most secure.

And as the summer heats up and the sweat flows, you’ll be glad that these headphones are both sweat and water resistant.

Here’s a summary of the features you get:

* Flexible ear hooks for a custom, secure fit

* Cable clip and carrying pouch for convenient handling and storage

* Optimized for MP3, iPod, iPhone, CD players and portable gaming systems

* Asymmetrical cable

* 2-year warranty

The 2-year warranty sounds impressive, given the punishment most sports headphones suffer. If you don’t have any loose cables or broken clips before 2 years, you’re obviously not exercising hard enough!

The Deal: Get your Sennheiser Omx80 Sport Headphones at Amazon.com for just $49.99.
