Once sennheiser always sennheiser., April 12, 2010

I had a pair of these for about a year and because of my misuse(yanked on it while it was still attached to my laptop) the wiring broke near the connection. Of course it was still under warrantly and they just sent me a completely new pair for free.

Maybe it's just my ears but I have yet to use a pair of headphones that are more comfortable than these. The way the right ear piece is longer than the left makes these headphones great for working out and the way the ear buds are designed they will not fall out unless yanked on.

The sound on these are amazing of course, It is Sennheiser after all.

During the time I had sent the Sennheisers for repair I decided I wanted to try another pair of headphones. Did some research and looked up some reviews and came across Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones. I ordered a pair from amazon and the first day of use I already hated them. No matter what ear piece I used it just wouldn't fit right. They kept slipping out during physical activity. The sound was rather muffled compared to the Sennheisers and this is definitely just me but the feel of the wiring just wasn't satisfactory.

Anyways my new CX300 II are back and that is what I'm using atm. I'm going to sell the s4 headphones to one of my buddies for half the price. OH don't forget the CX300 II are cheaper than the S4s as well! By like $20-30!

I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES I HOPE YOU DO AS WELL!

Quality Sound, Ergonomic and Comfortable,September 5, 2010

If you are looking for a simple pair of earphones that produce exciting sound from your iPod while on the go, then these are the ones for you! I have tried several pairs of earphones since looking to upgrade from the Sony Mdr-Ex55/Blk Ex Earbuds. I've tried the Ultimate Ears Metrofi 220 and even the Sennheiser CX 380II (the sportier version of the CX 300) but these earphones clearly stand out as a winner for several important reasons.

First, the sound emitted from these tiny buds is simply outstanding and refreshing as it delivers clear highs, balanced mids, and crisp lows. I immediately noticed a steep improvement over my less superior Sony's through its voice clarity and a resounding oomph in the bass response. The bass is very important to me in headphones because in my very eclectic taste in music, I love listening to plenty of Rock, Techno, Rap, and even Classical/Orchestral music--all genres that I believe should be enriched with a quality bass response. The Sennheiser CX 300II met my expectations as the bass had a nice "thump" to it that wasn't over exaggerated. I thought my Sony's produced good bass, but Sennheiser has since set a new standard for me.

The ergonomic and comfort aspect of this style earphones is also a true winner. I seem to be one of the few advocates of the asymmetrical design in cord length because it not only helps reduce wire clutter in front of your chest, it also reduces unwanted noise caused by rubbing against the wire because the cord is already laying on you. In contrast, Y-shaped cords have a tendency of bouncing against your chest as you walk and are always in the way of things like your zipper. I'm a daily train commuter who truly utilizes the advantage of the asymmetry of the CX-300II's design as I take my coat on or off or even while I read a book. The comfort doesn't end there because the simple ear bud design provides a two-fold advantage for the listener on-the-go: 1) a great seal which is key for noise isolation which gives you the sound quality and especially bass recognition, and 2) a strong hold in your ear that doesn't even give way with slight tugs on the wire. This last characteristic might sound trivial at first, but let me tell you there's nothing more frustrating than having to fix your ear buds with every turn of the head like other ear buds have a tendency to do. (I returned the Sennheiser CX-380's for this reason since the design of those buds never wanted to stay in my ears). I easily wear these CX-300IIs for up to 5 hours a day with never any discomfort. This model has a total cord length of almost 4' and a gold-plated right angled plug which are two great aspects in its design to consider as well.

I haven't found any noteworthy complaints about this product yet and with such a bargain price offered on Amazon here, I highly recommend this product.

P.S. I listen to all of my music with the EQ off on my iPOD touch 3G which, by the way, has a stark improvement in sound reproduction by its amplifier over older iPOD models I have owned. Something to consider when you, the smart shopper, is reading this review and others like it because you should wonder if the reviewer is using the earphones on the same type of device you use and if your current device produces the highest quality sound.
