The back of the packaging is quite simple, Sennheiser highlights then main features of the earphones and the contents of the packaging.

While we think there are a few 'tweaks' needed to take Sennheiser MX 686G Sport earphones to the #1 spot, these may very well be the most rugged and durable earphones we have seen to date.
I’m not satisfied with this review. In fact, I’m dissatisfied. Lol, that was a funny part in the read. What this review and rating lacks is focus on the intended audience. If you are weight lifting then use those crappy apple buds talked about in this review. Otherwise, everyone else looking to buy these runs outside. Or runs inside. Either way, the design is meant for running. I have a 2014 model that has rocked all this time. Most importantly it rocks through the 10-43km sweat-a-thon. Good luck keeping the apple buds in your ear and dry. So basically I learnt very little from this review aside from the added bass response compared to my 2014 pair. Thanks for that I suppose.
