Durable Earbuds: Sennheiser MX 680 vs. Sennheiser MX 85 II

Dec 11, 2010 5:21AM PST

I was looking to buy some more durable earbuds after christmas since i have a knack for destroying most of my earbuds. after looking around i decided the Sennheiser mx 680 or the mx 85 would be my best options since they are very rugged and intended for sports use. the upside of the mx 85 is that it's way cheaper, but the mx 680 has a kevlar reinforced cable. im am wondering which has better sound quality and is more durable, or also if anyone has a better suggestion for some durable, good sounding, non-in ear earbuds.

thanks for any help Happy
