Sennheiser CX 300

The Manufacturer Sennheiser is a company that has been specialising in the manufacture of headphones and microphones for over 50 years. They produce a large number of different models of headphone to suit various purposes from reasonably priced phones for portable players through to high-end models for hi-fi buffs and sound engineers. Construction & Design I have been using these in-ear headphones every day for almost a year now, plugged into ...
...of Sennheiser headphones (the others are full-size, audiophile quality phones that I use with my hi-fi and computer) so they are a manufacturer I know and trust to come up with a high quality product. Although they are very light, they are clearly well-made and durable, showing no signs of wear or deterioration after nearly a year of daily use. The "Y"-type cable has a longer lead to the right earpiece than the left, giving the option of running ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...already knew that I like Sennheiser as a manufacturer, with a pair of HD 650 (not portable but great for those evenings when everyone is asleep and you really want to watch a film in surround sound) I thought why not. And as much as I have always admired Bose and Shure on their skill at creating great headphones the price tag on them was, as a student, one my overdraft would not stretch to. So with the plan to spend about £30 and £50 with the hope ...

With the promise of a discreet pair of headphones, in a colour that wouldn't show up dirt (especially useful for when they have been in my bag with a sketch book or charcoal), noise cancellation, a two year warranty and with the promise of headphones that really do wonders for bass I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was on my way out of the house when the postman came running ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

First off. Let me mention that I have nothing against the quality of the standard white iPod headphones that came pre-packaged with my new iPod Nano. However, I find them painful to wear for any length of time and they keep falling out of my ears, so I went looking for a suitable alternative. Having had a very good pair of Sony’s Fontopia earphones (with swappable rubber plugs much like the ones on these) a few years ago, I found the format and ...
...plump for the CX300. I ordered mine from Amazon for £16.99, opting for the eco-friendly packaging. As I have Amazon Prime, delivery was free and the package arrived with no hassle the next day. The packaging was novel (to say the least), being made up of successive layers of corrugated cardboard, cut to fit around the ear buds and cables, and held together by a promotional sleeve with Sennheiser’s product details on it, and a special eco-friendly ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

These headphones are called the Sennheiser CX300, they are in ear headphones that will never fall out of your ear. They provide great sound and block outside noise so you don't have to listen to your music with background noise. Sound Quality -------------------- The sound quality on these Sennheiser headphones is awesome. You get lots of bass and the music sounds good. You will be listening to tracks you know well and be hearing new sounds with ...
...coming!!! Comfort ------------ The Sennheiser CX300 are very comfortable, the headphones come with three different sets of earbuds (small, medium, large). The earbuds are soft and there is three sizes so you one of them will fit. Surprisingly after having the headphones in for a couple of hours my ears weren't aching like they normally do with other headphones. I think this is down to the earbuds being soft and having a nice fit. Just be sure ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...I decided to purchase the Sennheiser CX300 headphones as they were only £17.99 on Play.com and I had a voucher to use. So a few days after ordering, they arrived. It then took me another month to get through the packaging, Sennheiser obviously do not want you to return this item with its original packaging! After wresting with the packaging, it was finally time to see what the hype was all about. Immediately I was impressed. They advertise that ...
...to make is that the Sennheiser CX300's make the bass stand out much more. Which is great. There are some fantastic basslines out there and we deserve to hear them. They also make the music much clearer as a whole and the music is further enhanced by the noise-cancelling attributes of the headphones which cancel out around 95% of all background noise. This can be a bit dangerous when crossing the road, but it's the music that matters. The in-ear ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...days later, packaged in the sennheiser box and are definately real. i chose the black earphones over the white or silver, partly because i found them cheaper and also because they looked far more stylish in black. when i took them out of the box and immediately tried them in my ears, they fitted perfectly... i then checked the two other sizes of ear plug to see if either were a better fit and eventually decided the middle size were best. each sized ...
...for my ears on to the details.. with any new piece of kit i like to test it in as many ways as possible, so i listened to many genres of music off my ipod through them to see how they performed, this was the best was to work out how well they played the more bassy music and also the more trebley stuff... after the first song i was amazed, with both ear phones in my head filled with music, and the earphones clearly picked out the high notes, as well ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

Sennheiser CX 300 Ear Canal Headphones I bought these headphones as a replacement for my ipod headphones which had passed on to the great walkman in the sky. Sennheiser have a great reputation for quality and after reading a few positive reviews online I went ahead. These were my first ear canal headphones and it certainly took a fair bit of getting used to. When I first tried them out, I didn't get them sealed in correctly and the sound was weak ...
...most others I have used in the past would have been in the bin by now. I can say from experience these are very hard-wearing. To Sennheiser I would say great sound, but manufacture the next generation with a better cable and you with have full marks from me. ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...music for your money. Sennheiser are well known for their high quality offerings, but this needn't break the bank. Their CX300 earphones weigh in at under £20 and are available in either black, white or silver. They come supplied nicely packaged with small, medium and large ring adaptors for a comfortable fit. Of the three colours I really like the black, which are accented with silver rings. Being the in-ear type of headphone, comfort is very important. ...
...on the comfort stakes. The material used is very soft, with a matt finish and the medium size for me was just right. They don't fit too deep inside the ear canal, just a little way in. Once fitted they really block out a a lot of outside noise, so are perfect if you listen in a noisy environment. Of course, I used the CX300's with my trusty iPod (what else) and the clarity of sound delivered was superb. Bass was nice and deep, the mid-range was rich ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...here, I decided on the Sennheiser CX 300, as it was either that or the Koss ones- and they sounded pretty crappy judging by the responses on here. I am quite into my music. When i say quite, I mean extremley. I am a music junkie. On my daily travels, I really do need something that cancelles out background noise. I travel on a bus every morning, where the driver insists on turning up the radio nearly full blast- that wouldn't be so bad, except we ...
...can hear is that terrible 'no signal' radio fuzz. Also my life is generally a noisy one. Which is all good and well, but when I want to hear my music I really have to turn it up to dangerous levels. Which is where these headphones come in. After reading the other reviews on here I feel a bit cheated. I bought my headphones from HMV, and I thought I was getting an okay deal. Well, I paid £39.99 (basically £40) and untill I read the price the others ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...venture into the world of sennheiser and intrigued by the hype that is easily found in the world of Hi-Fi I was quite happy with my purchase. Being bit of a Hi- Fi buff I tried not to set my standards too high and lower my expectations to thaty of a £20 pair of earphones. Needless to say I paid quite a lot of attention to the sound quality albeit after a good 15 minutes trying to negotiate a decent fitment between the diameter of my lugholes and ...
...The concept of CX 300 is to form an airtight seal in the ear canal so as to shut out any exterior sounds that can colour the sound quality. I was quite suprised at how effeective the seal was and could barely hear any exterior noise whatsever other than the inherrent squealching of the wax in my ear when adjusting for fit. Also the sound from the cable moving about is transmitted with good effect but somewhat defeats the object of enginering out ...

...Cx300s match the other Sennheiser 'phones 5 times their price in style, sound quality and durability. If you look around, you should find they come in white as well, to match your lovely iPod.

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

...more expensive pair. The Sennheiser cx300 fit the bill perfectly. I tried all 3 sizes of buds and after much tooing and froing went for the middle ones and have had them in for up to a 4 hour stretch with no discomfort during or after. In fact they're so light and comfortable you DO forget you've got them in (got up a few times only to be brought crashing back down to my desk). I did have to play about with the equaliser settings a bit on my different ...
...2 x MP3/4 players - Phone and decided on different settings for each (shows how "common" a setting such as "rock", "live" or "pop" isn't). They are loud mind you, so you have to be careful with the settings when turning on. Anyone in 2 minds about earbud type headphones stop dithering and get these. Hell, you don't live forever so just go for it. ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

On headphones there's only really one way to review them, and that's with the following categories: Sound Quality: The quality of these was reasonable and stayed at the same quality even at high volumes, pretty good though not amazing considering the price. The Feel: They felt like standard headphones, well made, but not expensive feeling in any way. Comfort: I'm not crazy about the ear shape of these. I do have rather small ears and so have a bit ...
...quite easily at only a small tug on the wire and weren't massively comfortable while in, though as I said, I have small ears, this isn't necessarily true for everyone. Durability: I've not really had them long enough to see how long they last, but after 2 weeks of usage nearly every day they look new still. Otherwise, they look pretty standard, feel pretty standard, and are pretty standard. I'm not sure they're really worth £15. I prefer my £18 pair ...

...that these ear buds by Sennheiser are the best choice for the price, sound quality, and size. They continually come out of my ears with a small amount of earwax on them. But I suppose it depends on how you clean your ears. But they are very easy to clean. Haha! Sounds disgusting doesn't it? But these earphones continue to surprise me. ...

It brough these after a long battle finding a decent pair of headphones and i have never experienced music like this. I get the underground tubes around London every morning and all background noise simply vanished! Its the pinnacle of personal music, live sets are phenominal, you can actually hear every flick of every guitar string and the lead singers movement as he entertains the crowd, Try them you'll love them! ...
