Hi,

I've just ordered the IE7, thanks for the help you gave.

But now I've only one question:

I read on the IE7 apprecation thread that you can't cycle or walk with the IE7 when it is raining, this is caused by the vents.

Is this true, because that isn't a good point.

Thanks!

i definitely would not risk it. there are vents and they do face up when worn.. thus water COULD get in

Personally, I don't think I would want to wear anything expensive in the rain.

I was once interested in the IE7. I zoomed in on the Amazon images and saw the vents and laughed. Most brands all make bad decisions/mistakes with their first designs but that one was not well thought out. They are portable phones. Rain/snow/sweat/oils/dirt and debris can get into those even accidentally.

So you mean that it is unacceptable to cycle in the rain with IEM with vents?

Imagine, it is beginning to rain, would a little rain damage the IEM?

They would probably be ok.

I have the IE6's, same vents... Ran a marathon with them and sweat like a whore in church, no problems, however, pouring rain might be more of an issue...

I emailed Sennheiser USA and this is what they wrote me:

"The vents are actually just cosmetic. There will be no damage done. For exercise, however, we really recommend the CX 380."

Does this mean their advertisement/description saying IE7's have added vents to air out the drivers is false? o_O
