Sennheiser CX 80S in-Ear Wired Headphones with in-line One-Button Smart Control with Microphone, 3 Ear Adapter Sizes, 2 Year Warranty, 3.5MM Jack, Superior Sound, Black

I used Sennheiser cx 180, 275s, Creative ep530, Apple earphones, JBL CS200SI and Sony MDR XB55AP, EX155 in the past. I didn't like CX 180 at first when I moved from creative ep530, as the bass was not good. But later realized that I was using incorrect size earbuds, after thar it was awesome earphones. Only drawback was lack of mic. When CX180 stopped working after 3 years, chose 275s, but disappointed with the bass , and there was no workaround. But it was good to listen music. Once I lost it , I tried many other earphones such as sony XB55, EX155, JBL CS200. Sony XB55 having too much bass overpowering vocals and treble, have bigger size. EX155 overpowered in treble. JBL CS200 has good bass and treble, but cause pain to ears after 1 hour of usage. So, chose Apple earphones. When It got damaged , tried CX 180S after checking so many reviews.Sennheiser CX180S sounds better than other earphones in the market. There are too many reviews complaining about the low bass and volume. But I found no issues in these aspects, only trick is to use the right size earbuds. Otherwise, these earphones don't sound good. Aslo don't use any equalizer settings, keep it in normal mode.Sennheiser CX180S bass is very good, it gives the thump ,not distorted nor treble oriented bass. All the instruments and vocals very crisp and clear along with thump bass. It is very good in watching movies.These earphones provides good noise isolation if right sized earbuds are used. We can barely hear the sound of nearby vehicles or people. It also don't hurt the ears even after hours of usage, thanks to soft earbuds.Drawback : Price should have been in 1500 range, no volume adjustment button. Missing pouch.

I know a lot of people will say that it is cheap and has no sound. But as an audiophile, I like the higher end frequencies with detailing. If you are not a bass lover and you are more into the sound signature, then don't go for the negative reviews. I promise this will be worth investing in. The wires are sturdy and strong. I have been using this for more than 6 months and have suffered a lot of tears and pull, but unfortunately it has borne all of it.

My samsung earphones are same bass for 400rs.. infact sennheisser is low volume and to costly.. cant return on amazon.. need to stop online shoppingI bought CX 80.. this has very low volume output compared to CX 275 which is just 100 rs more..Update .. when i take calls.. the other party has no complaints. So the mic works well.Update 2.. now i like the music also.. im appreciating after using the large ear buds i think

worst 3.5 mm jack.. too loose .. it just comes put of the port.. can't use it in my phone.. all other earphones i have just nicely fits.. and the 90 degree angle is also not good when you are travelling with the phone.

Excellent audio quality and customer support. My headphones's mic stopped working after a year but when I contacted the customer care about it and told them about the issue and that I still have a year left in the warranty they got the faulty one replaced with a new one.

I reviewing this product after using it for 6 months.Compare to CX180 this product sound quality is low. Vocal are a bit sharp and the bass is too low. I know Sennheiser provide low base for sound and vocal clarity but it's base is really low.To listen to a decent base in music first you have to increase its volume atleast 90% and second push the earbud deep into the ears. This works for me.About product quality its wire looks ok but strength is good I accidentally pulled its wire hard many times and also I sleep with wearing this earphone whole night and still it is working good.Overall I won't recommend you to buy this for RS1500 range.

This Earphones are very nice in this budget. One bud was stopped working after 1 months I got replacement for this. Nice customer support

TL;DR:- No 5 Star because of build quality and my personal preference on the sound signature, otherwise a 5 star easily.1.Build Quality (6.5/10)By all means I would not use it roughly, will not survive outdoors for long unless you use it carefully without any twists and tucks.Has good premium finish, nice to hold and feels good.2.Fit and Comfort (8/10)Good fit and comfortable to use for long periods of time, though personally I found the ear tips a bit stiff compared to the Sony MDR EX225.3.Audio Quality (8.5/10)Unique Sound Signature.Lows:-The lows are of another level of quality, does not muddy the sound at all no matter the genre,, best bass in an earphone I've heard, does not interfere with the mids or highs, although some bass heads might not find it punchy or overpowering.Midrange:-Midrange is crisp and doesn't mush with lows and highs but slightly on the less louder side when it comes to vocals but makes up for it with its transparency.Highs:-Oh boy, treble so good you might as well orgasm listening to it, clear asf.Soundstage:-The soundstage is above average, not too wide and not too narrow slightly leaning more towards the narrow side. while it makes up for it with its amazing instrument separation, listening to instrumental heavy music is bliss on this earphones.Personal Opinion:-As someone who prefers neutral and flat sound signature, these earphones edges me out of it by its tiny winy bass favoring sound signature while also keeping the mids and lows flat and neutral. if you are someone who prefers flat low bass sound signature, these earphones are like having the low eq a few db louder which will annoy you at first but it will grow on you as the bass quality is amazing with details clarity.4.Microphone (7\10)It's really good, captures the low end of your vocals if you are using this for audio recording purposes.5.Price (8/10)I bought for 1300 while on sale, at this price range it molests every other earphones in terms of audio quality while on the other side it does cuts budget on build quality especially the wires which are thin, but will definitely last for years if you treat it as it treats your ear. though It would have been a overkill earphone if it was coupled with volume rockers and thicker wires.Overall (8.5/10)
