The CX 55 are high quality, noise-isolating ear-canal-phones with an outstanding, very bass driven stereo sound. The special shape of their housings ensures that the CX 55 are... more...always positioned ideally in the ear.
Advantages: Sound quality, bass, ability to block out background noise Disadvantages: Very flimsy for the price and no case included
I bought these roughly a year ago and they only lasted a few months.
The sound quality is very, very good. Having been stuck using the basic iPod earphones prior to these, the CX 300 were a refreshing change. The bass on them is certainly more than adequate. Although some in-ear headphones don't block out background noise very well you won't have that problem with these. As long as you have the correct sized cover on the headphones the background noise will be blocked out completely meaning you can have your mp3 player on below half max volume and hear the music very clearly.
Prior to these I'd never used in-ear headphones before and was somewhat concerned as to whether they'd be to hard and rough on my ear. The Sennheiser however are very soft, not too large and quite easy to use.
So, why didn't they last me very long? The wire ...
Advantages: Great sound clarity, very comfortable Disadvantages: Higher frequencies not as refined as other earphones
Listening to music... a great British pastime, and something I enjoy every day. It comes as no surprise, mainly because it has been said many times before, that the earphones bundled with the iPod, or any MP3 player, are not brilliant. The iPod earphones are better then most, but for a small investment you can get a lot more 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. Out of all the earphones I have tried, these win ...
Advantages: Ultra super sound, really good value for money Disadvantages: at the price nothing at all
What a surprise always had big headphones hated the little ones, got some of the in ear ones with my phone impressed. Got these for my i-pod and they blew me away really fantastic tryed sures and ultimate ears and yes the ultimate ears do sound better but there nerly 10 times the price of these. Look out for the fake ones on ebay and aviod yer there cheep but the same word can be described for the sound. Furthermore with a 2 year waranty really cant complain. Also try the bass boost on the i-pod for a more enhanced and better sound. One of the best purchaces i have ever made trust the brand Sennheiser they are fantastic if you dont like the in ear try the bose as they sit different to these and sound very simlar but are more expencive. ...
