Note: It seems like many owners experience problems with this headphones. Some seem to have problems for functions these headphones do not have (i.e. sound controller), so I am not sure how justified some reviews are... Overall, none of the problems happened to me. See review for details:
Quality: I bought this headphones in June 2009 at amazon. Since then, I am using them everyday with my iPod touch while commuting to work, traveling, etc. And I use them to call people over Skype with my iPod as well as my MacBook. Usually, I carry my iPod in my trouser pocket with the headphones wrapped around it. Actually, this is the worst thing you can do to headphones. Still, the cable is fully intact, I never lost one of the rubber/silicone pieces - they do not even look 'used'. They are adjustable in size and fit very good and tight in the ear - but never uncomfortable. I never 'lost' one earphone just by gravity. And I do not miss a sound controller. If you want to turn down the music, just grab your iPhone/iPod. That is not a big deal for me.
Sound: Amazing! So much better than the Apple ones I had before. Some people complain about it, but in my opinion they are pure Sennheiser sound quality. If you experience problems with the sound it is most likely the equalizer settings you want to go for. Not the headphones are poor, but even the best headphones do not have a chance with low quality mp3 and wrong settings. Furthermore, they keep the sound around you out of your ears. This is especially great on airplanes, I usually wear them without listening to music for noise reduction. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to wear both earpieces while walking on a sidewalk. You won't hear any bike or car. But I would count this as positive.
Mic: Good for how it is designed. The mic is effectively hanging near your collar. If you are walking, the mic will move - and collect the noise. You won't experience such problems with a classic mobile phone headset. But this is the compromise of having in-ear headphones. Once you sit down and call someone, the sound quality is not worse than with other microphones.
Overall: I think these are real Sennheiser - good sound quality and I never experienced a problem. Now taken into account that a lot of people do rate them badly, sales numbers are low. Hence the big discount. But I do not really complain about this fact, I will buy my girlfriend a pair for her iPod and be happy that I effectively made a steal. Even if the mic can pick up some noise, this is a general problem with the design of this kind of headsets and not MM50ip specific.

Although they are really comfortable and sound quality is good.... the right headphone gradually get quieter and quieter till it eventually dies at a round the 4-6month mark.... This happened on both my original pair and on the replacement pair I got from the apple store.
Not worth the money but may be temped to buy them again if they where about £10 somewhere as they were good while they lasted.

I really liked my first pair of these, sound was great, then after about 9 months of use the left earbud stopped working. As the price had come down I bought a replacement pair from an Amazon merchant. I'm pretty sure they weren't fake/counterfeit as they came in the same Sennheiser blister packaging as the first pair, which had been bought direct from one of Sennheiser's official distributors. I'd tried emailing Sennheiser UK to find out what to do with the faulty pair but got no reply. I should have taken that as an omen of just how much they care about the quality of this product. My second pair, after a couple of months of normal use have now failed, in a different way. The microphone and the button on the mic no longer work, so the headset just works as headphones now. I won't be buying another pair after this experience.

Took me ages to get a refund too. I was going to buy another pair but then read the rest of the comments and decided against it. Read more

I've now bought two sets of these. The first ones lasted 18 months before the headphone jack connection became loose and the sound went crackly and was lost in one ear. Read more

Not compatible with all MP3 players/phones!
It took me so long to decide on these headphones and then finally decide to invest a high sum in a good brand, rather than buying cheap ones and throwing them away often.... Read more
