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...

Deafening ear defenders !

Advantages: Good Upgrade from Standard 'Phones
Disadvantages: Difficult to get that 'just right' fit

...These being my first 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 supplied pairs of small, medium and large buds/seals. 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...

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: Nice look, decent sound quality.
Disadvantages: Not very comfortable.

...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 of trouble with headphones anyway, but they did fall out 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...

Earex ear drops

Advantages: A big help for hardened wax
Disadvantages: none

...Earache and toothache have to be two of the most uncomfortable conditions that anyone can suffer. The nagging pain of earache is very hard to relieve. Often as we get a bit older ear wax becomes a problem. The wax is produced in small glands situated inside of the ear canal, the glands produce a thin film of wax to keep our ears clean and help fight against any infection. If too much earwax builds up then that`s when the problem starts, my husband has suffered from hardened wax building up in his ears for a while now, it seems to be a problem that has worsened with age. If the wax builds up too much then his ear canals get really painful and the build up also starts to affect his balance and then he has to have them syringed by the Practise nurse at the local Doctors surgery. When you start to feel that your ears may be waxy...

Hopi Ear Candles

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

... ~ Introduction ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get them less than once a year but I was now getting them every week. So willing to try anything that might prevent a migraine attack I started having Indian Head Massage (IHM). I've been having them for over a year now and they do really seem to help. When I went last month I told the therapist that I have been having lots more headaches (I'm quite stressed) and I'm starting to get mild migraines (not half as bad as they were before I started getting IHM). She did the IHM as usual but suggested that I book a Hopi Ear Candle instead of the IHM. I agreed, so on Wednesday I went for the appointment. ~ What are Hopi Ear Candles? ~ The candles used at the place I went to are made by...

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...

in-ear musical experience

Advantages: excellent sound, stylish, blocks external sound
Disadvantages: cable is a bit short for my liking

...i was eager to get these headphones, partly because my 3rd pair of ipod ones were falling apart, and partly because my mate had bought some from dixons and found them to be very good... he has since bought the bose in-ear ones and says that overall these are better.. i searched all the main retailers websites and found them all to be fairly expensive, so naturally i went to eBay and thankfully found them at a reasonable price... bargin i was thinking, top class headphones at a fraction of the RRP. my only concern with buying off ebay was that there were fakes flying around so was worried i'd picked the wrong seller...thankfully they arrived two 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...

Sweaty ear muffs!

Advantages: Low Cost, Reliable, Robust
Disadvantages: Loses a bit on bass sound

.... So what do you get for your money? Now it turns out, the German based Sennheiser are a long established player in the headphone market place, claiming to have developed the world's first open headphones in 1968. Given my foot crunching previous, I was particularly pleased to see it comes with a 2 year warranty guarantee Immediately upon taking the black and silver trimmed headphones out of the box could see that they offer a great combination of a light weight (weighing in at just 165g) yet well-constructed and robust design. The cushioned padding for the head band and the ear phones is very comfortable and there's an easy adjusting mechanism on either side to fit pretty much any headsize. After a moments panic, I scrabbled around in the box and found the separate gold-plated connection plug to enable it to fit the Yamaha, and we were...

'Ear This Wax Lyrical!

Advantages: Goes some way to relieving excess ear wax. Lats a long time
Disadvantages: Difficult to count the drops. Not a miracle cure for lots of excess ear wax.

...■■■ Price and Availability ■■■ My GP advised me to buy these ear drops and given that a prescription is currently £6.85, she suggested that I buy it over the counter at the cheaper price of £4.79 at Boots. The ear drops can be found in most chemists and supermarkets with a pharmacy: Superdrug Lloyds Pharmacy Morrisons Asda Tesco ■■■ Packaging ■■■ This comes in a cylindrical box with a bit of additional card with the 'bumph' at the side of it. (Hopefully the photo will demonstrate this more clearly). Inside the box is a small, 8ml little tube. The tube has a sealed cap that is easily 'broken' by twisting the screw top cap, a good idea as it shows that the product has not been used or tampered with. Once the cap is taken off there is a small...
