Customer Reviews

BEWARE: fake ones sold on Amazon Marketplace
First I bought these on the Amazon Markertplace (from a trusted seller). I was pretty dissapointed by the sound quality (not too bad really, but not the expected Sennheiser quality). Also, they were quite uncomfortable and made crackling noises. So I got pretty suspicious and I googled some pictures of fake ones, and compared those with my CX300. Mine looked perfectly like the real ones, and even the packaging seemed right.

Untill I read about the cable lenght. When I measured mine they were L:250 mm; R:470 mm, 106cm from divider to plug. Real Sennheisers should measure L: 170 mm; R:510 mm, and 85 cm divider to plug. So I returned mine to the seller and received a full refund.

This morning I received another set of CX300 headphones, and this time they are the REAL thing. The sound quality is much better, and they are much more comfortable. SO BEWARE OF THE FAKE ONES SOLD ON AMAZON MARKETPLACE! If you are dissapointed about your CX300's, first check the cable lenght to find out if they are real.

Beats iPod earphones hands-down
After having used my iPod earphones that came supplied with the iPod itself for the last 2 years, I felt it was time to finally upgrade them. I had never been a fan of Apple's attempt at earphones as they had developed a magnetic rattle on the second day of use, when using them to listen to bass-heavy songs.

The Sennheiser CX300's in comparison are absolutely brilliant. Sound quality through all ranges is clear and bass comes across especially well, without being too dominant. They give a real punch in the bass when it's required and an overall smooth sound. The CX300's come with three sizes of ear-plug adapters to enable the earphone to fit right inside the ear canal. Some people may not like the small extra hassle of finding the optimum position every time they want to listen to their music, however the end results are far better than any earphones I have used to date. Their ability to dampen external noise is also a plus especially for use in busy environments such as the gym or about town.

Overall these are an exceptional pair of headphones for the price that make listening to any portable music device much more enjoyable.

Great headphones at an excellent price
I'm you about two weeks ago - looking around the reviews for alternative iPod earphones. I spent ages weighing them up - do I shell out serious money for the Shure? Are there any reasonably priced headphones that work well? Is there really anything bad with the normal Apple ones? The answer to these questions are: the Shures are very good, the best even, but not worth the money if you're just listening to music on your way into work in my opinion. Yes, there are reasonably priced earphones that work, the Sennheisers being one of them. And as to the last question, after upgrading the bad points of the Apple headphones are instantly obvious.

I'd advise anyone thinking of buying these to ask themselves if they can manage with the headphones in their ears. It's quite intimate. It's no problem for me, but just look a couple of reviews down and you'll see someone who hates it (actually that person says they paid £5 so I think they may have bought one of the many fake pairs out there which would explain the poor experience he had). The actual sound from the headphones is excellent - namely the bass. The Apple ones were so full of high frequencies that on hearing the genius that is Carlos D's bass on Interpol tracks I had to just stop and listen to how good it sounded. It takes a little bit of getting used to the increase in low frequencies, but this is how the music was meant to be heard and by god once you've adjusted you'll love it. The headphones also cut out 90% of ambient noise meaning you can switch the volume down even if on the tube or bus. My ears say thank you. My only criticism is that when you're walking you can hear the noise through the headphones but this is a general in-ear headphone issue so I'm not sure how you can hold that against Sennheiser. So to summarise, if you're looking for a reasonably priced pair of headphones that perform well, you've found them here.
