Sennheiser CX 300 Consumer Headphones

Pros: very good sound, very good value
Cons: noise when jostling the cord

I suppose it has been a few months since I last reviewed a pair of headphones, and as luck would have it I just got a pair recently. For those of you who follow each of my reviews on a daily basis (0 of you I believe) you will have noticed that I had to ...

Pros: Nice looking, high power handling, loud, efficient.
Cons: Slightly rolled off high frequency response. No carrying case.

I recently purchased a 4gb Ipod Nano. It is fairly reknowned as a very good sounding mp3 player. I listened to it for several hours over the last few days, A/B between my the Ipod stock earbuds and my Audio Technica M30 headphones and determined that ...

Pros: Good sound quality, fit, and sound isolation; great for airplanes.
Cons: Irritating cord noise when active.

I have a problem. I enjoy listening to my music and want my earphones to provide decent fidelity and reasonable bass response. That's not too much to ask, is it? And I want them to fit well and minimize external noise. That's reasonable, right? ...

Pros: excellent bass, very sweet mids, tiny drivers, comfortable fit, great price
Cons: personally hate the asymmetrical cord, highs sometimes get drowned out by bass and mids

Sennheiser does it once again. Relatively inexpensive products that deliver equal-to-superior sound quality to some of the competing products that are often double the price. As a comparison point, I will compare the Sennheiser CX300 to the Shure E2c. ...

Pros: small. comfortable.
Cons: Bass not as rich as expected. Somewhat Harsh sound.

Totally disappointed. The rave reviews I've read must be written by people that work for Sennheiser. I just did a comparison test. These cx-300 vs my other Seinheisser PC-100 (over the ear) and my ipod in-ear set (not buds) that came with my video ipod. ...

Pros: Really is noise-canceling. Sized perfectly for an awesome fit.
Cons: cord is a little short. The audio jack is also a little bit small.

Priced reasonably at retail stores. Has great audio. Depending on what expectations an audiophile has for in-ear monitors, one would find the audio to be quite concentrated, which is nice. Although one would also find it punchy, seeing as how the metallic grate is quite close to the auditory canal.

Pros: Sound quality, especially bass
Cons: Poor fit

I purchased the Sennheiser CX 300 ear buds as replacements for the stock Apple ear buds that came with my iPod. The sound quality is considerably better, especially the bass. They do block out ambient noise well.
I don't like the fact that the different ear cords are asymmetrical, and that the cords transfer noise when brushed against clothing. But the big problem I had with these ear buds was that no matter which of the three included sizes of silicon tips I used, the ear buds would not stay in my ears.
After trying to use them for two weeks, I gave up and went back to the original Apple ones.

Pros: Great Bass, Comfortable and enhanced sound. Would recommend these headphones hands down.
Cons: Waiting to find one. Maybe a carrying case would be a good addition .

Over the past month I have tried out the Bose ear buds (99 C$), Shure 110 (119C$) and finally Sennheiser CX300 (103C$). By far the best sound, comfort and value for your dollar is the CX300's.

The main purpose of my headphones was working out at the gym.

The Bose earbuds continually fell out of my ears and for the price didn't have the wow factor that I was expecting from a Bose product.
The Shure 110's were similar to the Bose and definitely lacked bass and that full sound.

I tried all 3 pairs using two different MP3 players, ear piece sizes, different audio playback's (rock, classical, pop, etc) and was convinced of the winner as soon as the first song started.
