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...

Pioneer DEH-30 MP

Advantages: Good sound quality, loads of features
Disadvantages: Chrome effect peels from around volume control

...Pioneer DEH-30 MP I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player. Features MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search. It came with a handy remote control so that even passengers in the back can pick what to have on the stereo. This stereo can also be...

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...

Pioneer DEH4000UB Fantastic, a real bargain if you shop around.

Advantages: Impressive for the money, especially through 'Twenga'.
Disadvantages: None

...I bought the Pioneer DEH-4000UB recently as a replacement for the standard radio/cassette in my BMW 3 series. I have never been impressed with the BMW stereo (Phillips), and assumed that perhaps the speakers were as much to blame as the head unit. I toyed with the idea of fitting a CD multi player in the boot, but they can be very expensive. I was playing by Sansa mp3 player through the head unit, using a cassette adapter, and although the Sansa is one of the best mp3 players you can buy, the adapter and head unit itself did not do it justice, so i decided to look for a new CD/radio, that would look good in the dash of my BMW, would have similar colour illumination to the orange on the rest of the dash, but more importantly, would have an input for the mp3 player. Whilst I was looking around, I found that there are a number...

Pioneer Double DIN goodness oozes quality and functionality.

Advantages: Sexy, packed with features, smart design, easy to use
Disadvantages: price?

...A month or so ago I purchased a new car, MK4 VW Golf 1.9 TDI. Not being brand new, I wanted to make some changes to make it feel more like mine. First thing I noticed was the out-dated sound system in the car. Despite being a 51 reg, it came with a tape deck of all things and a 6-disc CD changer. Ugly, boring and outdated. I wanted something a bit snazzier. I had seen other Golfs with single DIN units, meaning there was a horrible gap in the dash board. Opting for double-din was the only logical choice. Most double din units are expensive and incorporate a DVD player or sat nav of some sort. I wasn't after that, just something to play MP3 CD's and the radio. When i saw this one though, i fell in love. The sexy fascia, blue lights and jam packed features made it a must buy. The pioneer FH-P80BT comes with a number of cool features...

Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 Review

Advantages: Greater functionality and ease of use
Disadvantages: Price

...quality and build are second to none - they analyse the sound from a CD with super accuracy, punshyness and detail. Compared to the MK2, its functionality has definately got better with its track search speed being imporved significantly. Once again, the layout of the buttons are easy to use and see even in the dark, and Pioneer have made more effort to better the information display - its brightness and clarity are a major improvement on the MK2. Cons All in all, there are no cons in my opinion - this piece of equipment is the very best any dj has at his fingertips. Being critical, I would say that its price (£700) is expensive to beginners and intermediate dj's on a budget, but if you have the money to burn, this is a piece that you MUST have or that you are able to use in this ever changing music industry. All in all, I love...

Pioneer DCS 525

Advantages: Rear wireless speaker, Great Sound and Picture
Disadvantages: None

...The Pioneer DCS 525 comprises of a DVD player, subwoofer and 4 speakers packaged together. I bought this system from Internet for the very reasonable price of £350 The heart of the system is a DVD player, tuner, alarm clock and 100 watt subwoofer combined together in a compact and slim design. To give the home cinema effect, four speakers are provided. These comprise of a sub-woofer and four satellite speakers. These speakers seem pretty robust and have 100 watt output each. You can also tell the system far away you sit from the speakers so it can better your sound. Features The DVD player will handle playback of the the following formats: CD, DVD, DVD-R DVD-RW, CD-R, VCD, SVCD, MP3 and JPEG. You are given a choice of Dolby Pro Logic Surround / Dolby Pro Logic Surround II / Dolby Digital / DTS Digital Surround sound...

Pioneer DV-600AV quality for good price

Advantages: High quality video, supports many formats
Disadvantages: Confusing labels on remote controller

...Pioneer DV-600AV was interesting for me because it has possibility to play DVD-Audio and SACD and it has got integrated decoder with analog output for 5.1. Extra interesting is the quality of sound which some DVD players are having bad quality. Quality of sound was pretty good with nice serve of acustic which i wasnt able to heat on my older players. I/O Back side includes HDMI, component Video, S-video, audio 5.1, scart, optic and koaxial output.On the front panel is placed conector USB 1.1 for USB devices. There should be more conectors, but on the other hand we shall be glad that none of the important connectors is missing. Extern USB devices are not supported as manufacturer has written. In the real it is working with no problems:) I tried from flash disk Kingston Data traveller II. It is possible to play mp3 with variate...

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...

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...
