Full review
The Sennheiser MX 500 earphones aren't the best earphones that sennheiser have ever made. They don't fit too well into some people's ears and the little covers for the speakers that they come with are virtually useless, but if you're looking for some cheap headphones maybe as a temporary solution or just something you might not use everyday, these headphones are probably your best bet.

On the posotive side, these headphones produce very high quality sound in comparison to the price you pay for them. As with all in ear headphones you tend to hear more of the treble-y sounds more than the bass-y sounds, but the bass frequencies are still there, and compared with other headphones of the same price I would say that you get the greatest range of sounds from these. They also come with a handy case to put them in which also retracts the lead (takes a while to get used to using them).

However, on the negative side, you can spend a while fiddiling around with the case attempting to put the heapdhones back into it (when it's probably just easier to put them in your pocket). They have a tendancy to fall out of your ear if you're doing anything more vigorous than walking (or if you have big ears, which a other people who have wrote reviews for this product do have).

The elastic dust/dirt covers that come with the headphones which you have to stretch to put on them are fiddly to put on and fall off more more easily (I lost both of mine within two days of using these heapdhones). And because these covers are virtually the only source of grip that the headphones have with your ear, it makes them very loose in your ear once you've lost them.

Overall I'd give these headphones 5 out of 10; they're not the worst headphones I've ever used, but at the same time they could be improved in many ways.

Review of Sennheiser MX 500 by WayneP86

Advantages: Cheap, Presentable, Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Comfort

I bought these earphones to replace the ones that came with my ipod, because they were awful. These definitely raised the game but not massively The sound quality is pretty high actually, I can hear all the highs and lows, neither one overpowers the other, which is nice although i'd maybe like the bass a bit stronger. I haven't found any problems with them not being stable in my ears, they never fall out. A problem I have had with a few other headphones ...
...headphones pulling off my head. That happens alot due to the ipod having it's socket on the bottom of it. What I have noticed though is they can feel rather uncomfortable in extended use, with or without the fabric piece. I think it's because the shape isn't perfectly round smooth. Aesthetically I'm not over keen on the design, it's a bit to square, I like earphones to be nice and round but that's just me. It's got an integrated volume control ... Read review

Not for Big Ears (or Noddy)!!!
Review of Sennheiser MX 500 by Bertie_Wooster

Advantages: Excellent Sound / Smart Carry Case
Disadvantages: Poor Fit / Flimsy Foam Covers

I bought these as an upgrade to replace the dreadful looking headphones that came with my MP3 player. The Mx500s came highly recommended by a number of trusted sources who praised their sonic abilities, and in that respect they didn't disappoint. A detailed sound with good levels of bass for such a small unit. I also liked their understated appearance and the useful spool-in case. However, the main drawback (for me at least) is the fact that the ...
...may be slightly on the large size, but not freakishly so. No matter how I position them or jam them in, they are absolutely guaranteed to fall out after a minute or so of light walking. As for wearing them down the gym - forget it! I have also noticed that the foam earpiece covers have started to split after just week of use, which may be brought on by my constant fiddling, but which I feel is completely unacceptable from a top name like Sennheiser. ...

Sennheiser MX 500 - My Review
Review of Sennheiser MX 500 by scottfish

Advantages: Sound quality is fantastic - fantastic price
Disadvantages: None, seriously

The MX 500 earphones give great sound quality for any users. With a built-in volume control, the earphones can be used with any walkman, CD player, MP3 player or HiFi. I used this with my iPod and was surprised at how good the sound quality is, due to the low price I bought them for. These immediately replaced my original earphones and I have never looked back once. I would recommend these for any person who is on the go and enjoys listening to music. ...
...practical. The volume control is also successful since it makes it easy to adjust the volume if the portable device is in a pocket. There is very little noise leaking from the headphones so then nobody else can hear what I'm listening to. The bass on these headphones is good but there are better out there. That is the reason why I have given it only 4 stars. ... Read review
