Hi, 
 
Am on the lookout for a good workout(nothing but running) headphone.  I am inclined towards Sennheiser PMX 680 for the following reasons:
 

• Its Sennheiser
• Behind the neck design(these somehow dont move no matter how hard we run)
• Sweat resistaant (I sweat a LOT)

 
I have sennheiser HD212 Pro for my regular use, its my first good quality headphones and have bitten by sennheiser bug since then.
 
Please suggest me with other options or should I go for PMX680 ?
The qualities am looking for are good sweat resistance/proof and good sound quality.
 
Thank you.

not a suggestion, but did you consider the mx680 or the omx680?

I have looked into this a lot and oddly have two contenders
 

•  FX-Sport (A new product not even on the market yet ... but soon hopefully.
•  Sleek audio customs + wireless (3 Different custom IEM creaters assured me that sweat shouldn't be a problem: Sleek, JH, UE)

 
A lot of personal preference is involved but possible you might be interested to check out both

Oh yea my brother has the PMX680 and loves them, as fas as a CORDED option goes they are great. my suggestions were both cordless options*

Thanks very much for the reply Kanuka.
Yes I did check all the models in Sennheiser Adidas sports range,  the reason I went for pmx was for the around neck design. I happen to have used PMX 60(yes sir, I am guilty of killing them with my sweat) and they never moved. PMX680 being sennheiser I took the sound quality for granted.
Earbuds have never stayed at one place even when I was just casually listening, so I have a strong feeling that they wont hold while running.
Didnt want to go In-Ear as i've read somewhere about the thumping sound while running.
 
Never tried OMX design, are they called Cling-on type?, not sure how they'll stick... any review from anyone would be of great help

Thanks very much for the reply MidnightCoffee,  never tried wireless.... just checked Sleek Audio customs and they are way beyond my budget.
Am quite a noob,  please help me in understanding what are JH and UE.

Thanks very much for the positive review of pmx680.

I'm also a noob,
 
UE was ultimate ear and JH is JH audio, both are IEM (headphone) companies.
