Band : Sennheiser Electronic Corporation Model : CX 300 Sil Product Features : – Sold Individually Sennheiser CX 300 Headphones R35089 Category Headsets and Earsets > > Really Disappointed BUT THERE IS A LIGHT OF HOPE Bought a Zune and picked up a set of these as the fatory set is lacking in sound quality I replaced a Sony 4GB Walkman at home that came with a great set of headphones but because they are noise cancelling the specialized plug would not fitin the new Zune I was hopeful but have to admit that these Sennheisers in this price range are truely lacking I have ordered another set of headphones this time a Sony MDREX85LP/BLK they are by far superior to the Senns especially in tinniness and bass response Another option is the Sony MDR XB40EX I own ALOT of audio equipment 10K home theater nice car audio systems etc probaly too much and benchmark all fidelity against my Sony earbuds I have to admit it but they truly are the pinnace of all audio I reference sound qualiy from It is perfect sound As far as these Senns spend another 20 and get a set of mid range Sony s your ears will thank you many times over It s an investment in yourself > > Great Sound Poor Durability These are probably the best sounding headphones I have ever heard Amazing Bass Clear highs Great Mids Nearly perfect sound I checked and made sure I had the read ones not some fakes Last night the left bud ended up dying on me I have been relatively careful with them in my daily use of them but they just crapped out right at the 3 5mm connector When i bought these I also bought a set of JBuds J2s and they were my work out headphones the JBuds were 15 at the time of purchase my CX300s were on sale for 30 shipping The Jbuds dont sound remotely close to as good but are still working So just something to think about in terms of quality and durability Some cons I found with these the super sticky cable ends up tangling easy and can occasionally pull the headphone out not a huge deal but is annoying when it does happen The asymmetrical cords are a pain in the ass for me make them terrible for working out in but some people love it so its a preference thing No case for them like the CX400 or CX500 s no big deal would have been nice though Some things that stood out for me as pros the little silicone/rubber gummies that come with it they fit amazing much better than any others I have used Way better than the JBuds ones I like them better than my girl friends JVC with the foam buds They just fit comfortably and stay in great while running if you get the cord to fit right and stay The buds themselves are shaped great so its comfortable Im 6 2 and I found the cord length great for me with my iPod Classic at my waist or my shuffle clipped on a belt loop or shirt end Absolutely superb sound I read a review that ranks their sound quality up there the the high end Shure and Klipsch IEM s Iv never tried the Shure or Klipsch but I believe them I was blown away by their sound quality Other than those small gripes they are great They seem more of a casual use headphone I am a very active person so they just werent for me At the price they are now I d say they are well worth it just for listening to music AMAZING sound quality way better than any iPod or Zune headphones any JVC Skullcandy Phillips etc that youd find in a Best Buy or Walmart So I dont think I want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement set so I m just going to buy another set of headphones probably not another set of CX300 I may go with the CX400 MKII or some Ultimate Ears to try those out Like I said looking for something a bit more sturdy for my style These would definitely get 4 or 5 stars if not for the poor durability with the tiny wires > > Very Satisfied I would have to say these are my favorite ear buds i have owned They are light enough to stay in my ears I had them in for about 3 4 hours last night I thought they were extremely comfortable for earbuds They do have a very good sound I settled on the smallest size of the fitters they came with Believe me it does make a difference if you have the wrong size in the sound lacks and they aren t as secure I have heard complaints about the asymetrical cord but the directions suggest to wrap the cord to the right bud around your ear Honestly i usually dislike this style of cord but putting it around the back of my neck is the way to go I will probably after a little more time come to favor this style of cord I like them more then skull candies i have owned sony s jvc s the list goes on Extremely satisfied If you are looking for earbuds at a cheap price GO WITH THESE
