Looks like you made good use of your time in Japan.

Are we getting many more videos filmed over there?

Considering the "fun" he has with it, Linus should do a review of some bluetooth on-ear lifestyle headphones while running. Should be fun :D

How was this video captured? Was Brandon(or whoever else was the cameraman) running along or riding a bike or something? Also if Luke had a GoPro attached..................

My build log(in progress): http://bit.ly/1CMaebR

Like the look of those headphones! I'll have to give them a go and see if I can FINALLY replace my top end Klipsch (so really not that high end in the grand scheme) in ear headphones.  As not only a techy but also a very active person I like seeing these videos about workout gear!

 

I also liked the format of this video with Luke running the whole time and the camera in what I'm guessing was a car? Good job guys! Keep up the good work!

 

EDIT: Upon checking Sennheiser's website it doesnt look like these are available for the iphone/ipad currently? I'm assuming back ordered?

But how is the comfort on the silicion/rubber pads? my biggest issue with in-ears is comfort in the ear, its start to itch like after 30 min.

this is common issue i have had with my older Klipch and Sennheiser in-ears.

At work i have custom made silicon ear plugs and those are Great! but i doubt i could use those with this one because it would make the whole setup bulky.

 

also, i welcome more sports/fitness stuff, as long a they are not gimmicks.

So I'm curious how much exercise luke got/ How many takes this video took?

 

Actually I need a new pair of IEM's for my pushbike into work each day, was leaning towards the jaybird bluebuds.

My current pair of ear buds never stay put like they do for other people. I think these might overcome my mutated ears.

Sennheiser has made lime green look good on these and the specs seem pretty good as well. Like how you are switching video styles and hosts. B)

They were in the back of a vehicle driving in front of Luke. You can hear the exhaust at times in the video :P

We've discussed it a bit but we're still figuring out the best way to do so.

And thanks! Really high praise, I've passed it on to the team that worked on it :)

Yep it was filmed about 3 weeks ago now I think.
