These were one of only a few headsets that seemed to meet my criteria, which were: Over ear hooks; Remote (with both volume and skip/pause/play controls) for my iphone 4; and microphone to take calls (I wasn't asking for much!).
However, despite these seeming ideal (the fact they they are Sennheiser also appealed), I decided that I should take heed of it's 2 star rating, and looked for something else.
I ended up buying a Philips SHQ3017/10 headset. They were ok but just didn't fit my ears, despite trying the various ear cushions, and so weren't giving a secure fit when I was running. My other smaller bug-bear with the phillips headset was that the skip button on the remote isn't distinctive enough from the volume buttons, especially when trying to control it during a work out. Thankfully I'd bought them from John Lewis, who have a great returns policy and took them back just on the basis that they didn't suit me.
So, I decided to take the plunge and buy these Sennheiser OMX680i's. They are PERFECT for me. I'm not particularly an audiophile, but I am fussy about quality, and the sound seems great to me. I would have been happy with it just being acceptable, so long as they fit, but the music sounds great with them.
The ear hooks are malleable, so you can mould the shape around your ear- fantastic. I had been just commenting to my friend recently that someone should make this a feature of headphones, and here it is.
It comes with a very good quality bag for the headphones, which also has a hole through which you can feed the headphones, and the bag then seals with a sturdy velcro seal. There is also a detachable clip which you can use to secure the wire to your clothes. (I should say that I actually bought these headphones from the apple store rather than amazon, but I presume it they come with the same accessories).
I'm very happy with these headphones, and wish I'd bought them in the first instance. I'm mainly posting a review to say that, if you're being put off from buying them by bad reviews about the sound quality, then ignore them. Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but I really don't know what they were going on about.

I did read the reviews prior to purchasing these - I also already own Sennheiser head-phones and ear-buds so know what sound quality to expect. I'm afraid I have to say, that I was disappointed.
On a positive note, once the shape has been made to fit they never come off. The remote works flawlessly with the iPhone4. They are very light. They look great. When you push the speaker hard onto the ear canal, they sound great. However, that last point is the just problem... for me, they don't fit well enough to sit over the ear-canal properly and provide that fuller rich sound I'm used to from Sennheiser - sounding more like a £5 pair. Also, I found that they hurt after a while too.
I've come to the conclusion that it's a gamble buying hang-on earphones like these, because everyone has different sized and shaped ears. I've no doubt some people will love them and whilst it comes with different sized covers/pads to help, there is no one-fits-all product. I've returned mine and will try some which are still sports/hang-on ones, but ear-buds which go inside the ear canal instead.

I purchased this headset to use with my HTC Wildfire. The sound quality is good but only some of the controls work and I could not get the mic to work at all. Please note that this headset is for iphones only, so not a fault.
The instruction leaflet leaves a lot be be desired; it very hard to work out which "bud" to use and how to assemble them correctly. I also found that the over the ear adjustment quite difficult but maybe that's because I've got small ears.
