If you can add your own ear buds to the SET840-S, why would anyone want to buy the SET840 with the arms attached ??, thanks.

I guess it is just in case you dont wan't to go through the hassle of buying some new ones... but I would definitely say that being able to choose your own earbuds is a lot better!

I have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.

Hi Hal,I'm probably the wrong person to try and address your question as I have NOT used mine since I got them; apparently my ears are too small for them to be used. I have tried several times but one then the other pop out (literally pop out). Without having tried the CX685 my best guess is that perhaps they have addressed the comfort/fit of their ear buds to accommodate a wider range of ear sizes? I can't be the only one out here who simply can't wear the "standard" sizes! Hopefully there are a few reviews to detail if anything new or additional has been packaged with the CX685 version.

Ah, I see. Thank you. I did buy the e2cs, and unfortunately I cannot get any of the pads to fit my ears, so any idea what prices run on the ear molds and where I can get them??Thanks!

Yeah u need a connector. Wouldn't recommend for listening to music on the go, the cables long and with the connector it looks unsightly. But its perfect for home use. U should replace the ear cushions if u wanna use it to listen to music for long periods of time as there's not really enough cushioning between your ear and the speaker. If our cheap like me u can slip some foam or cotton buds in between the cushions. There's a small space. Makes these headphones much comfier

i have no idea what those sony or sontronic ear buds are like. i can tell the buds that came with my sennheisers are NOT comfortable. but i have been advised to spend $20 to buy yurbud ear tips for these--they say those are very comfortable. i have not bought any other buds for these phones because i only wear them for short periods. but the upside is that the sound is great and the voice mic is way above average. but if you buy these sennheisers you should invest in comfortable tips made by 3rd parties.

Not really, thats a drawback with the apple system, the earbuds does not last, and when the entire player is being controlled from the wire of the earbuds, its either get an other pair for an extra $80 bucks, or just throw the player in the garbage and get a new one altogether, cuz its gonna be the same amount.

I got mine with the headphones, but you should be able to use buds if you want, all headphone jacks are 1/8 inch in diameter.

Yes! You get an interchangeable set of earbuds so that you can get them to fit perfectly, but yes they do. They are the best earbuds I have invested in. I definitely recommend them! Oh!! And you get a clip so you can clip the wire to your clothes or something. That pesky wire can annoy me sometimes, so I saw that as a plus.

Yes, there are better ear buds, but you have to make them yourself.I took a piece of 1/2'' foam rubber, cut out a small circle, just large enough to extend beyond the ear phones. Remove the original ear bud, But not the plastic part. Poke a small hole in your foam piece and force it down over the ear phone. If you use a soft foam this should be more comfortable.

When I got mine, the buds that were on it fit well for me! They supplied with my ear buds a good selection of them ! Every set of ear buds that i have had were smaller and after time came loose! What I do to secure them better is moisten the buds and put my thumb on the rubber part on the casing that indicates right or left and wiggle them so they seat well! Movement of your head and the cord catching on something can cause the problem to I still have to adjust them here and there! I really don't think about it much! I just enjoy them . I hope this helps!!

Yes that is generally a little bit of a problem, but it helps if you get the right size rubber buds. By headphones came with 4 or 5 different sizes (and one ear may be bigger than the other). Pick the right size and you should have less of a problem. Hope this helps.

the set comes with 3 sets of ear buds. I had the largest set on and they were ok. but then i tried the smallest and they were great. the sound is amazing and they stay in my ears when i'm on the treadmill. I love them.

I go to Wal-Mart and buy a set of ear buds in their electronics area - they are not marked "mono" but they work just fine for me. Actually, I buy a set of the less expensive (around $8 or $9). I like the ones with the small ear buds (usually comes with 2 other sizes). I tried the ones with the hard round ear bud and threw it away a day later. The more flexible ones work best for me.

Wish I had the answer for you. They seem pretty generic. I took a shot as I got my buds so long ago I wasn't sure of the model and it worked out for me. For the price, I would give it a try. Good Luck.

I think you're getting a bit too excited. All electronic products phase out for the new.The product is good in all ways. As far as accessories, it comes with an AC adapter. I got a case for it at a sound store for around $5 that works well. I bought some Sony earbuds that blow away the ones that come with it. I also bought a VRFM8 from Walmart that is an FM transmitter, to play the Zen to your car radio.The only thing I can imagine that is left is a car charger. (I just bought one on Ebay for $8. I think that's everything.) Plus, it doubles as an external hard drive for backups and such. I'm a happy camper with it. I think you're getting a bit too excited.

Are you kidding me? Everyone I've talked to says the earbuds are horrible. For 300 hundred dollars you think they could include the ac power adapter and some in ear buds. Its not much to ask. These things hurt your ears and are only comfortable if you only use them maybe an hour a day. Past that, severe pain.
