CX 300S RED In-Ear Earphones, Red

Note 1: This is only the 2nd pair of ear-canal headphones I have used. Note 2: I have bought these for music listening purposes only. Pros: They are lightweight, comfortable and come very well packed. They have good length of cord and provide very good sound from: cassette player, Android Phone and mp3 player (Boom!). Was very impressed. There are numerous ear tips supplied but I found Aiivioll Silicone Ear Tips give more bass and fitted my ears better. I found also that you do not need high volume as they have high sensitivity. This means the battery driven or rechargeable devices should be able to play for longer. Cons. Wire noise can be experienced when cable banged/tapped due to high sensitivity.

I think these sound fantastic good bass, good noise cancelling and a comfy fit.

I liked these headphones, decent sound for everyday use and making calls. Negative is that you could hear throught the earphones when the cord was rubbing against something and they didn't last nearly as long as they should have with one ear losing sound after about a year.

Excellent earphones. I've had Bowers & Wilkins earphones in the past and I must say Sennheiser's top them. My first ever pair of Sennheiser's was over a decade ago when I got the CX300's. The CX300S is newer, has a modern design and a button to pause tracks, also a mic for calls. I am very happy with my purchase. For less than £20 you will not find better earphones. Trust me on this one I know what I'm talking about!!

I normally go for CX300 II or CX400 II ear buds, but decided to try these as they were cheaper and could be supplied by Amazon (and thus left in safe place if not in). Soundwise, compared to the aforementioned buds—which I find to be nicely flat across the frequency range except for a bloated bass (just what I need when walking alongside noisy traffic!)—these are definitely more middley and less neutral. I will use them for music only as a last resort, but they're acceptable for listening to speech podcasts, which is my preference when walking to and from work. Feel-wise, they're quite heavy—not really a desirable quality in an earbud—so are liable to getting pulled loose from the ear and requiring pressing in from time to time. Otherwise, they're comfortable in the ear. Build-wise, they feel quite solid and less fragile than the CX300 II and the CX400 II. The cables of the CX300S are certainly thicker. The downside of this is the added weight. As with similar items they are supplied with a choice of different sized buds (medium is right for me). However, there is no supplied shirt clip; a clip is especially important for these relatively heavy ear pieces. Happily I have a few spares. They're not awful buds (I've had worse) but I won't buy more again once they break—they're too flawed all round.

Got those as I wanted a simple headset, wired with a mic, in replacement of my beloved lost Momentum In-Ear (wired version, which is not sold anymore). I love Sennheiser sound signature, so those seemed to be the best option around. But they're clearly not. They sound almost like a cheap free pair of earphone that would be offered along side a smartphone. As a result, I'm barely using them. For some calls maybe, when I can be bothered to take them out. I'm not enjoying listening to any music on those. An oddity in my history of buying Sennheiser. Comfort is good, nothing to tell around this. Build quality: well the core of it might be sturdy, but the little plates (where the Sennheiser logo is engraved on the earpiece outer side) just fell off (unglued itself), on both side, after a few weeks. It really displays the cheapness of it. I know they're not the same range as the Momentum, but for the price I had way better experience with Sony products in the past. A shame.

Very comfortable, great sound clarity, would recommend.

I love these earphones. Ive had mine for about 5 years now and they are still going! Usually earphones i get are cheap and they last about a year before one side breaks or the wires break or something but these ones? Amazing. The sound quality is really good they can get really loud if you want them too and they are comfortable. They are also good at blocking out the noise around you if you put them in without anything playing. Honestly the best wired earphones ive ever owned i even got the other colours to give to my family and they love them too.

Dont wait super quality and HI-RES Bass quality good

Despite my research on the best wired-in headphones with external microphone, which shows these as the TOP HEADPHONES, the sound quality is far FAR below what I am used to with my current Bose. I would NOT recommend these.

Funkar till Xbox kontroller. Utmärkt ljud och mikrofonen funkar att prata med.

3.5mm jack wired headphones with Mic for mobile phones is more and more disappearing from the face of the globe and personally I do not like this idea at all, including that I do not want to even buy any mobile phone without 3.5mm jack option. Sennheiser CX300S are not very expensive headphones but there are still a quality headphones from this firm, and I buy there headphone products for two decades already, like this one Sennheiser CX300S mainstream headphones, to those Sennheiser headphones of much higher quality and much more expensive. I even bought this same Sennheiser CX300S headphone model one time in my life already, and I did not make mistake, because it is a good product. Yes, you cannot expect the "Start Trek" sound from them and for High Fidelity listeners, but they are not created for them in the first place, and for the others this headphones will be just fine, especially in this price ratio. All in all, I recommend them. Thank you.

Depois de quase um ano de uso gostaria de fazer uma reavaliação deste fone. Logo quando comprei fiquei um pouco decepcionado. Achei os graves ruins e o som um pouco baixo, mas depois troquei as borrachinhas e descobri que este fone é maravilhoso. Tem um som límpido e bem definido e tem graves excelentes. Quanto ao volume, após trocar as borrachinhas uso em 50% do volume e já me dou por satisfeito. Super recomendo.
