Better than the black ones
I previously owned the black CX300's which broke a few weeks ago after being battered around for the best part of the year. I got stuck using your basic in ear headphones until these arrived, and you really notice the difference. The bog standard headphones felt uncomfortable and sounded pretty bad.

Then these white CX300's arrived, nice and cheap and the sound quality (especially base) is pretty awesome still. But the main thing is the cable, the white ones have a kinda rubberised cable, which feels nicer and a lot more flexible than the black one. The cable is what broke on the black ones, the sheathing breaking in two places.

I heartily recommend these CX300's, and the eco packaging's a nice idea too.

Excellent sound quality
Full, warm bass and clean treble, reduced external noise, and comfortable to wear. The sound quality is so good (and I'm fussy about these kinds of things) that I find myself listening to my iPod even more than I used to. It's true that the in-ear design means you get rumble from the cable when you move, but I don't find this a problem. Highly recommended.

Practical Reservations
Firstly, to be fair, the sound quality of these is superb, and (so far) they fit securely in the ear. You might think that should be enough, but unfortunately not. The problem is the rubberised coating they've used on the wire. Because they are designed to fit snugly in the ear and reduce extraneous sound, any vibration or movement on the wire is transmitted straight into the ear, and because of the rubber, almost any movement of the head causes such sound as the wire comes into contact with clothes and skin. Its incredibly distracting, and an unbelievably stupid oversight given the quality of the product otherwise. A plastic coating is the obvious answer, and would surely eliminate this problem.
