5.0 out of 5 stars Great Audio Quality For The Price, June 12, 2009

This is my first pair of in-ear headphones. I also own the Sennheiser PX100 and Sennheiser HD280 headphones. I have to say, for $70, the Sennheiser CX 300-II in-ears have rather great audio quality. Bass thumps and the highs are clear. The mids could be a bit better but boosting the proper frequencies with your audio player's equalizer can improve the sound. Using the small sized adapters, I get a good seal, and after a little while I don't even really notice them in my ears. I can't comment much on durability, since I've only owned them for two weeks now, but they seem sturdy enough so far. Overall, I can't imagine finding better quality canal headphones for this price. Definitely a good buy, whether you're on a budget or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality for little money, July 20, 2009

This review is from: Sennheiser CX 300 II Precise Bass In-ear Canal Headphones with Asymmetrical Cable, Black (Electronics)

I've used Sennheiser earphones for many years now, mainly because of the great quality of their products. That's also why I turned to these CX 300 MK-II, when my Apple in-ear phones decided to call it a life after some 5 months of use. These are half the price of the Apple ones, and the sound quality is better by no small margin. They are very comfortable to wear, even after hours of use. They come with a selection of small, medium, and large interchangeable fittings, allowing one to find the ones best fitting your ear size. They also come with a small satchel in which you can carry them. This little bag, however, is nothing to shout about. I never use it, finding it nigh on useless.

Highly recommendable. Very good sound for a small asking price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sound for the price, September 5, 2009

By	Luke Diorio-Toth - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sennheiser CX 300 II Precise Bass In-ear Canal Headphones with Asymmetrical Cable, Black (Electronics)

Pros:
-INCREDIBLE BASS. It literally sounds like you in a room with a sub.
-The highs are crisp and responsive as well.
-The 90 degree plug is awesome
-Earbuds fit comfortably, but firmly in ear. Makes them great for running
-They're $26, i mean really


Cons:
-Mids sound a little muddy and washed out. Messing with the EQ with alleviate some of that
-The asymmetrical cable can get in the way if you're like me, and prefer to put your MP3 player in your right pocket
-The asymmetrical cable also makes it awkward to wind them up.


Conclusion:
For $26, I dare you to find a better pair of earbuds. You definitely won't get as good sound as an over-ear design, but Sennheiser makes one of the best efforts that I've seen to bring top-quality sound to earbuds. The muddy mids are a little disappointing, but won't subtract from the enjoyment of your music. I really wish Sennheiser made these with a more traditional Y-cable design, but the cable is long enough that it isn't too big of a problem. But with all that said, you will not find a better pair of earbuds for less than $30
