Sennheiser CX300 - a great upgrade earphone

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...

Sennheiser CX 300

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...

Sennheiser CX300 in-ear headphones.

Advantages: Cancel out background noise, comfortable to wear, enhances listening experience
Disadvantages: None

...I'd just recently bought a new mp3 player and after shelling out quite a lot of money for it, I didn't want to be let down to poor sound quality of the packaged headphones. After doing some research online, I decided to get a pair of Sennheiser CX300's. I have to say they are fantastic. They come with 3 sets of earbuds in different sizes, experiment and find out which are most comfortable in your ears. They are very easy to wear- I forget I'm wearing them half the time! And the sound....well the sound is amazing. I can hear tracks on my mp3 player far more clearly and defined. They cancel out a lot of backround noise too- the early morning commutes on a packed bus have never been so peaceful. All in all I love them. Definately worth the £20 or so price tag. I let my brother borrow them one day and he ended up buying...

CX300 Headphones from Sennheiser - Theyre good

Advantages: Noise cancelling, good quality sound, deep bass,
Disadvantages: Would be better if cord entered from end of earpiece.

...I did a lot of research before plumping for the CX300's and I have not been disappointed with my choice. The sound quality is excellent both at the high and low ends, and I have not heard such a deep bass from such tiny headphones before in my life. You need to push the CX300's to almost painful listening limits to get any audible distortion from them and on the whole they reproduce a good quality sound. I have found that you need to use a bit of trial and error get them sealed in your ears into the best position for a quality sound. They need a little twisting and turning for you to get that deep bass in all its glory. One gripe that I have is the cord entry position. It may just be the odd shape of my ears that are the problem, but I have found that it would be better if the cord entered from the end rather from the side. These...

Review of Sennheiser CX 300

Excellent alternative to standard headphones

Advantages: Very comfortable, sound great, excellent value for money.
Disadvantages: The in-ear style may put some people off. Not suitable for vigorous exercise.

...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 form factor comfortable and user-friendly , so I decided to 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...

Sennys

Advantages: great sound, snug fit
Disadvantages: wire is longer for the right ear

...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 these headphones because they are that good. There is no crackling noises that seem to plague other headphones. The Sennys also block out background noise but if it gets above a certain noise level background noise can be heard. Be careful when your crossing roads when wearing these as you can't here the cars coming!!! Comfort ------------ The Sennheiser CX300 are very comfortable...

Bass Galore and Heaven on the Tube!

Advantages: Solid sound, passive sound isolation, uber light and varying ear tips for comfort
Disadvantages: Doesn't come with travel pouch accessories, sometimes in-ear seal is not secure

...attenuation of ambient noise · Extremely small and lightweight · Ideal for use with all MP3, CD, DVD, MD players and portable game systems with 3.5mm headphone sockets · Asymmetrical cable · 2-year warranty (www.sennheiserusa.com) After a lot of research and despite a few concerns about the clarity and openness of the sound produced by the headphones, I finally decided to purchase a pair of black (they come in both black and white) Sennheiser CX-300 from dealgatesuk for £39. 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...

Noise Cancelling? Yes Please! *UPDATED!*

Advantages: They really do cancel sound, amazing bass and clarity
Disadvantages: Sometimes they can hurt a bit.

...Noise cancelling earphones were something I had been after for a while. After reading the reviews on 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 don't get a signal where I live so all you 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...

The Best Headphones At Present.

Advantages: Comfort, Stylish, Loud.
Disadvantages: Pricey

...The CX 300 offers everything a listener wants. Comfort and quality. Although a bit pricey compared to other headphones the in ear Sennheiser offers a great music expierence which can only be heard from this head phone. The length of the wires are perfect, not too long and not too short. Also the in ear headphones allow a greater bass to pump through your ears and gives your ears exictement. The comfort of the Sennheiser are amazing and are so soft. The CX 300 also come with 3 diffrent ear buds to suit your ears perfectly. The sleek, stylish CX 300 shows a futurstic and advance look on headphones and will definatley inspire more headphone makers. Overall, this is a must get but only if you have spare change. 5/5...
