 The best compromise for in-ear 'phones April 4, 2006

I think this is the 5th pair of sennheiser headphones I've acquired, one way and another. I normally find their version of any particualr style of 'phone is worth looking at, and they're always beautifully built. I've got a pair of HD580 precision 'phones for serious listening at home, though these need to be driven by a fairly hefty amp, so are too quiet with an iPod. I bought some MX500's to go with my first iPod, but have always found the hard earbud type uncomfortable to use and difficult to get just right in the ear, so my wife uses (and seems to enjoy) those with her iPod. I've also got some PX100's which get deserved rave reviews in the HiFi press. These do dound excellent, with good bass and an open, balanced sound but you feel a bit of a tit with them on your head in the Gym, and they do leak quite a lot of sound.
I had been wondering about some in-ear style phones, such as the ones produced by Shure or Etymotic. But I'd been put of by the price of these and the fact that you have to push them deep into your ears to get the proper sealing and bass response. So when I saw that Sennheiser had produced their own version, I knew I needed to investigate. And as the reviews seemed positive, and the price not bad, I went ahead and bought a pair.
They've proved to be the best pair of headphones I've used with my iPod, giving very good volume levels, such that I had to turn the volume down compared with what I've been used to. The bass is extremely good, testing it with s couple of my favourite bass testers, such as "Anthem Without Nation" from Nitin Sawhney's Beyond Skin, "Saturn" from Holst's Planets and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots part 2 by the Flaming Lips. The middle sized ear pads which come fitted were the right size for me, and sit down into my ear canal quite comfortably without feeling intrusive, and apparently giving a good sound seal, as no-one around me has been complaining of any noise.
The only thing I would like to have got with them is some sort of case to carry them in.
Very impressed August 21, 2006

I bought these to replace my Sony MDR-EX71 which were falling apart due to a common fault - the covering for the wires was rotting away. The Sennheiser phones are both cheaper and give a much clearer sound and more bass and are the best headphones I have ever owned. Very good value for money and I am hoping that the rubber covering will not rot like the Sony ones. they seem a sturdier build. If you buy these, I am sure you will not be disappointed.
a vast improvement on my ipod earphones October 6, 2006

I was looking for new earphones as I work in an open plan office and I wanted something that would block out the noise without me having to whack up the volume. And these work. Volume on my ipod is now much lower and I've turned down the bass. My eardrums are now better protected. As some of the reviewers have said - they take a bit of getting used to - I've discovered I have little ear canals as well as little ears! But end of day 1 and I'm used to them - although I had to set my mobile on vibrate or I miss the calls (an upside). One downside - eating something crunchy is perhaps an activity to avoid while wearing them.
Amazing, even after a full cycle! August 20, 2006

I was very impresssed with these headphones when i purchased them, the sound quailty is great and they are very comfortable, the perfect end to my search for affordable quality headphones. However, i felt ihad to write this review when i found out that my mum accidentally washed my the headphones! they still work perfectly, much to my suprise, another reason to buy these great headphones!
Beware fake sennheisers!! READ!! February 12, 2007

I am a big fan on ear-bud type headphones,I decieded to buy these after previously having fontopias and creatives. I saw the cheaper options in the market place, and wary of fakes I chose a buyer that had a 100% rating and sold the head phones in sealed packages. Well, they turned up and the package looked 98% genuine. I thought the quality of the printing and the card stock was a touch poor but the headphones looked absolutely like the real deal. Then I listened to them! Urghh, harsh treble, farty bass. I know my ear buds and something was obviously rotten in denmark.........
I went to the Sennheiser website and got the specs for the CX300's. The dimensions are: Asymmetrical, L: 170 mm; R: 510 mm, (85 cm divider to plug). Mine didn't measure up! If your's dont, THEY'RE NOT SENNHEISERS! After err.... politely putting this to the seller I was quickly offered a full refund and asked not to put a bad rating. I've stuck to that, but I'm telling you there are some very good quality fakes that if you don't know you're ear-buds you wont realise you're listening to cr*p. I got my sennheisers from amazon today, and they're the best ear-buds I've had yet. Fantastic clarity, good bass but not too overpowering. Beware boys and girls, if something seems too good to be true it probably isn't.
