CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating Ear-canal Phones, Black

Best in ear headphones I have ever owned - I'm a big fan of Sennheiser, they're a 68 year old german audio company all about sound rather than brand, unlike *cough* Beats, Monster, SkullCandy, Razer and even Bose nowadays. There's only a select few wearable audio companies I trust and Sennheiser are one of them. I'm on my second pair of these, thanks to a certain playful moggy and have a third pair unopened that I purchased in a sale. These headphones do everything right, they feel extremely well made for a pair of in-ear headphones and are amazingly comfortable, even for long listening periods. These headphones have a design to where one cable from the Y junction is around twice as long as the other, this allows for the headphones to go around the back of your neck thus leaving less cable to hang in front of you, it also aids in keeping them in place while doing things such as running or gym work. the headphone units themselves are also very comfortable and once in do not protrude out of your ears like a lot of in-ear headphones giving them a visually satisfying look. As for the sound, they are just absolutely brilliant and suit a wide range of music from classical to house, to rock and metal to electro and from hardstyle to R&B, and many many more genres. The highs are perfect and are crystal clear, the mids are very good and don't clash with the bass, allowing them to not be washed out by the bass. the bass is great, lows sound smooth but can tremble depending on the type of music you listen to, making the headphones great also for watching movies on the go or at home. I personally use these headphones with a range of devices, such as the following; iPod classic, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPhone, iPad, MacBook and a custom PC. If you intend to use these headphones with a more powerful device such as a laptop or desktop PC, I would HIGHLY recommend turning the volume right down as these headphones are very sensitive and will blow craters in the side of your head if you're not careful. These headphones come with three different sizes of buds and I'd recommend you try them all for a short period of time to find which one suits you best, ideally with these headphones to get the best results you want them as far in as possible without discomfort. I personally use the small size of bud and push the headphones in until they make a clicking sound, the clicking sound is the driver of the headphones moving back thus showing you have a good seal. I can't think of anything else to add to this review other than about the little carry pouch they come with which is made of a high quality leatherette and had a satisfying metal closing band which snaps together with a thud. These headphones have outlasted any other that I have owned and are still going strong today. the first pair that my kitten chewed up I managed to fix with a new 3.5mm jack and also still work brilliantly to this day (almost 5 years later after their purchase) I hope this review may help someone :)

I'm very happy with these in-ear headphones for my iPod. Generally, I find in-ear headphones really uncomfortable and they make my ears ache after about 20 minutes' wear. These ones, I can keep in for as long as I want (easily over an hour) without any discomfort, I'm pretty much unaware of them in my ears. They fit very snugly deep inside the ear (and I mean deep!), which is surprisingly comfortable, and cuts out external sound very effectively. The earphones come with small, medium and large pads which you can change to suit the size of your ear. The small ones give me a noticeably more comfortable fit and a better seal, meaning they stay put when I move my head! Because of the better noise performance, I am listening to my iPod with the volume at about half the level I needed it on with my earphones that came supplied with the iPod, but I'm hearing the same level of volume in my ears. In other words, to get the same amount of noise, I'm using a lot less volume, which I hear is better for your ears, and for your technical equipment! Win, win! I'm not very qualified to comment on sound quality, but to an ammateur listener, I'd say these provide good quality sound which picks up subtleties in the music I hadn't noticed before. I'd say they are slightly better in sound quality than the iPod earphones. The carry pouch they come with is also very useful to prevent tangling. Highly recommended if you want some good quality but affordable in-ear headphones that will be really comfortable.

Nice sound, cheap and cheerful. Good value for the money. Always have problems fitting earbuds in my ears and these are better than the norm, very forgiving silicone tips.

I have one tiny complaint about these. I wish the manufacturer had used better cable so that they were completely tangle free. It is better than what we've got used to over the years, much of it cheap and nasty but for a bit more cost, these would be spot on. I've looked at all sorts. I definitely wanted wired earphones, there's enough aggravation having to charge loads of items without adding expensive Bluetooth gadgets to the list. These are comfortable. I'm fine with the medium pads but there is a smaller and larger set included. A very handy bag with a sprung top is a good addition. Now for the main reason for the five stars: the sound is excellent. Clear and detailed. I've noticed quite a few times with some old earphones I've been using on an MP3 player at the gym that distortion was mysteriously occurring. It was noticeable with some of the Who recordings where the guitar does some accented power chords. Today, clear as a bell. The studio effects of reverb and delay which are present on most recordings were likewise very clear and precise. On today's random playlist was some stuff by Earth Wind and Fire whose studio records are brilliant recordings. A completely different style of music came over really well as did Chick Corea playing Spain. I've got all sorts of expensive music recording gear at home so have a decent idea of what is possible to achieve soundwise in terms of quality. These are surprisingly good.

My old Sony earphones packed up after 2 years of me not looking after them so i thought I'd give these a go and pay £14 extra compared to another Sony earphone replacement. It is Sennheiser after all. Packaging: Earphones came well packaged with a pouch and spare buds which was nice. Very good packaging. Fitting: For me they are not comfortable; they fall out even after trying all bud sizes, smallest are the best but even then they don't fit snug. It was nice of them to send many bud sizes though. Sound: This is where i was slightly disappointed. And i am comparing these to my old Sony MDR-NC31EM's. Both were on a preset equaliser setting i never change it. And I have to say in terms of sound quality and bass the sony headphones blow this out of the water. The sound is clean on the Sennheiser but it does not match the trebl, highs and lows of the Sonys and the bass is not as good either. I adjusted the equaliser to try and improve the experience and it still sounded mellow. Verdict: These are very nice earphones with top build quality, but would i buy them again? No. I thought i would give them a go but was left disappointed. My old Sony earphones can be had for as little as £19.99 on the web compared to the £33 i paid for these.

Sennheiser is a top manufacturer, and these are amongst their best products. I've used assorted Sennheiser and AKG headsets/phones/buds professionally and privately since the early 1970s, and the sound with these tiny buds is as good as the best. The bass is purer and smoother than many hi-fi loudspeakers. The top is sweet and clear, often a problem with older ears, but nothing is woolly with these buds. They are also very efficient, so need a lower volume setting, and the batteries on my ear-player last significantly longer than with its original earphones. I listen to a wide range of material from jazz to pop to choral to orchestral to speech. It all sounds very natural, and I have applied almost no equalisation in the player, nor any SRS, nor any Extra Bass. With these, the original sound sounds best, stays in your ears and does not disturb even your closest neighbours on the tube. BUT, there is a definite trick to making sure the sound is good. The seal to ones ear must be air-tight, otherwise bass is lost and extraneous noise leaks in. How then? Lubricate them! Moisten the ear canal, and also the soft rubber adapter, to allow it to slide in easily and find the best fit. Also, don't push it in too far as this might bottom the adapter on the curve of the ear canal and block the sound outlet. As Ronnie Barker might have said, you may need to jer-jer-jer-jiggle it a bit. Most ears do not have a circular canal, more often it is almost triangular, so it is a miracle these buds fit so well in so many different ears. Try each of the three different sizes for the best moist fit! I don't go jogging with them, but I do walk a lot, as well as use public transport every day, and the movement rubbing on the leads could be a problem. But by stowing the long lead around the back of the neck and using an inner pocket for the ear-player and any surplus lead, the unwanted noises are reduced to an acceptable minimum. And of course when sitting still there is no problem at all. I was wondering how durable they might be when I bought my first set of the original CX300 ear buds seven years ago, and I have been careful to avoid knots with stowing the lead when not in use; one pocket is dedicated to the ear-player and buds. The cords are reasonably tangle resistant, but a determined vandal could wreck them quite quickly. For all that time in daily use over maybe seventy thousand miles my old set continued to sound as good as new, with no signs of deterioration in the rubbers or the leads, so when eventually the left bud went open circuit at the join to the voice coil it owed me nothing. I was very happy to buy this new set as a replacement, and it has proved to be every bit as good, still with the clean full range sound. These CX300-II deserve the highest recommendation.

I bought the Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision in Black, having spent £26 on the pair of earphones. I have previously used Sennheiser, currently owning a pair of headphones with which I am very content; the sound quality is superb. I expected the same quality and high standard from these pair of earphones but was severely disappointed... Every time I see the words "Heavy bass" or "Improved bass" I scream internally at the stupidity and naivety of everything associated with this phrase. The front of this box states an "Enhanced Bass" sound, being Sennheiser and based on my previous experience with them, I didn't think too much of this, that the bass would just be a feature that has been fine-tuned along with the rest of the parameters involved in equalization. But, no. I was wrong. The bass is clearly the driving point of these earphones and the majority of earphones currently being sold to consumers. Every bit of marketing clearly advertises a 'Heavy bass' sound in most earphones I have stumbled across and this does NOT improve the sound quality of the actual earphones at all. As for these earphones in particular, there is no clarity in the sound whatsoever. The bass gets so much in the way that it muddies everything up. Having experimented with all the different EQ settings on my iPod Touch, nothing seems to be able to rectify the horrible, horrible decisions instilled in the manufacturing of these earphones. Even the 'Bass reducer' setting is unsuccessful; the balance between the bass, mids and highs become uneven with the bass being noticeably absent as a result of this setting. As a result of the ENHANCED BASS being the focal point of these earphones, the stereo sound is greatly diminished at the expense of the boosting of the bassiness in the center of the stereo image; while you'd expect a clear sound to be distinctly emanating from the LEFT and RIGHT channels, everything is pushed towards the middle, leaving a stereo sound that is not very wide at all. SUMMARY: The "Enhanced Bass" is the most idiotic feature to be sold on a pair of earphones, Sennheiser's in particular. At the expense of this, the stereo sound is terrible; you may as well be listening to something in mono. There is no sound clarity whatsoever, everything is so dark and dampened and there is no room for music or sounds to breathe at all; no room for them to interact with each other harmoniously and subsequently flood your ears with a very reasonably balanced mix of bass, mids and highs. I have heard better sound quality from a pair of Sony earphones that have cost so much less than Sennheiser's. Unless you enjoy your bass, depending on your preferred music genres, and very narrow stereo images, do not waste your money on this.

I’ve used the Sennheiser CX 300 II for a while now, and honestly, they’ve reminded me how good wired earphones can still sound. The first thing that stands out is the clarity. Music feels warm and detailed, with bass that’s full but not overdone. They’re also very comfortable. Once you find the right ear-tip size, the fit is snug and blocks out a surprising amount of outside noise. I can listen for hours without any ear fatigue. The wire is thin but flexible, which helps with comfort and portability. It can tangle if you’re careless, and it doesn’t feel as durable as some newer braided cables, but mine has held up well with basic care. The asymmetrical design takes a few days to get used to, yet it’s practical once you do as it keeps the cable out of the way when you’re on the move. In terms of value for money, they’re excellent. For a fraction of the price of wireless earphones like the AirPods Pro 2, you get honest, detailed sound that doesn’t depend on batteries or software. The AirPods are obviously more convenient, with great noise cancellation and modern features, but for pure audio quality per pound spent, the CX 300 II still win easily. If you want simple, lightweight earphones that deliver genuine Sennheiser sound without breaking the bank, these are a smart buy.

Kulak içi kulaklıklar genel olarak dışarıdan ses alıp müzik keyfini engelliyor ya da tam tersi şekilde dışarıya çok ses verip hoparlör gibi çalışıyor. CX 300 ise sahip olduğu ses izolasyonu sayesinde bu ikisinin gerçekleşmesine de geçit vermiyor. Sesi %15-25 aralığında kullanmama rağmen müzik dinlerken tüm içeriği dinlemiş olabiliyorum. Harika bir kılıfla geliyor ürün kılıfı kullanmak için işaret ve başparmağınız arasında kılıfa üst köşelerinden bastırmak yeterli diğer türlü zorlanabilirsiniz. Asimetrik kablo yapısı rahatsız edici değil. Üründe mikrofon, ses açma kısma, çağrı cevaplama, müzik durdurmak-geçmek için herhangi bir tuş bulunmuyor alanlar bunları göz önünde bulundursun. Yorumlarda bazıları cızırtı geldiğini söylemiş jak uyumsuzluğu nedeni olabilir bu. 2 farklı telefon, 3 farklı bilgisayar üzerinde deneme yaptım, sadece bir masaüstü bilgisayarın ön bölümünde bulunan jak girişinde bu cızırtı olayını yaşadım fakat aynı bilgisayarın arka slotlarını kullandığımda herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşmadım. diğer cihazlarda da cızırtı duymadım. Sanırım eksi yanlarını değerlendirecek olursak , tek eksi verebileceğimiz şey kablo yapısının çok narin gözükmesi olabilir. Fakat internette kulaklık ile ilgili yorumları okuduğunuzda genelde 2-3 yıl kullanıp hale memnun olduğunu belirten insan sayısı da çok. Ergonomik olarak kulağınızı rahatsız etmiyor genel olarak rahat bir kullanıma sahip.

Average earphone and overated price. Atleast mic should be given in these one. Think before you buy this one. No dount sound quality is good but these are expensive.

Esta es la tercer vez que compro estos audífonos simplemente porque el sonido es sensacional, las otras dos veces anteriores se me echaron a perder por jalones que yo le di al cable, si no quizá aún vivirían. Siempre los había escuchado en mi celular y sentía que necesitaba más volumen, a pesar que son los audífonos que más fuerte se escuchan de los que he tenido. Honestamente creo que por el precio valen mucho la pena; otros que me han salido más caros me han decepcionado, aunque la verdad no sé si unos beats 2.0 sean mejores, pues he estado leyendo las críticas pero nunca los he probado. Pienso que para sacarles todas sus virtudes a estos audífonos habrá que escucharlos con un iPod o un iPhone porque son dispositivos impresionantes para escuchar música. Ojalá alguien pueda aconsejarme sobre unos audífonos mejores que estos porque la música merece ser escuchada lo mejor posible. Sobre el servicio de Amazon no hay ninguna queja, ya llevo varios pedidos y nunca han quedado mal.

He probado a fondo este producto antes de opinar, y tras meses de uso diario durante horas y horas de autobús, tren, metro, etc, he de decir que son unos auriculares fantásticos. DISEÑO Y COMODIDAD: Son unos auriculares "in-ear", lo cual se traduce en un buen aislamiento del ruido externo. Son fantásticos para usarlos en transporte público, para separarte del jaleo que suele haber y poder relajarte, y en cambio sigues oyendo lo suficiente como para orientarte bien. Una vez incluso los usé a modo de tapones de oídos para dormir cuando no tenía nada mejor, y dieron el pego. Es cierto que cuando hace viento a veces se oye un leve silbido (como cuando no cierras bien una ventana), aunque a mí personalmente no me molesta y pasa poco. Por otro lado, la comodidad es absoluta, una vez que eliges el tamaño de almohadilla adecuado (vienen un par grandes, medianas y pequeñas, y se nota la diferencia), los puedes llevar durante horas sin ninguna molestia, ni los notas, sin que se salgan ni aprieten. Nunca me han hecho daño, cosa que siempre me ha ocurrido con otros cascos si abusaba de ellos. Me gusta el diseño asimétrico (el cable del auricular izquierdo es más corto que el del derecho), porque así el cable te lo pasas por detrás, por la nuca, y si te los quitas quedan simétricamente colgando del cuello, uno a cada lado, no tienes que engancharlos en la camiseta ni nada, se sujetan a tu cuerpo. También puedes esconderlos por dentro del cuello cuando te los quitas, quedando muy discretos. Y por último, nunca más tendrás que mirar cuál es el izquierdo y cual el derecho. Lo que sí que echo en falta a veces son los típicos botones para regular el volumen y pasar de canción, aunque Sennheiser tiene otra línea de productos con esta característica. SONIDO: La calidad es fantástica, no hay comparación con los típicos auriculares que vienen de serie con los smartphone y demás (y he probado muchos), que por cierto a veces valen parecido al ser un "producto oficial"... También me parecen mejores que los earpods de Apple y demás. Incluso he comparado con un par de auriculares de diadema de 40-50 €, mucho más aparatosos, y la calidad estaba a la altura. No soy un experto en sonido, pero para mi gusto los agudos están muy logrados y los bajos son potentes, quizá te parezcan demasiado fuertes si vienes de unos cascos malos, pero una vez que te acostumbras no quieres otra cosa. En general una ecualización bastante multiusos. La única pega que le veo es que, con ciertas canciones (uso spotify en calidad extrema) con bajos muy profundos y vibrantes, sí he llegado a oír en ocasiones puntuales un poco de distorsión y zumbido en los golpes de batería más fuertes. He comprobado que con auriculares de diadema esto no ocurre, pero son casos puntuales, tardé meses en darme cuenta de que esto podía pasar. En general, diría que de los mejores auriculares estéreo que he probado en calidad de sonido (tendrías que irte a cosas muy caras para superarlo), hacen que resulte un poco ridículo ver a gente en el metro lidiando con enormes auriculares de diadema cuando están escuchando probablemente peor que tú. RESISTENCIA: Los he usado a diario, colgando al cuello durante horas, tirados en la mochila, enrollando y desenrollando, les he dado algún tirón, etc, etc y todo bien hasta ahora. Para llevarlos en el bolsillo del pantalón (que es el destruye-auriculares por excelencia) de forma segura es muy útil el estuche que viene incluido con el producto, ya que una vez que los metes dentro no tienes que preocuparte de que se líen, enganchen, aplasten, etc. y cabe perfectamente en un pantalón. Un problema común de los auriculares in-ear es perder una de las gomas que van en el interior del oído, ya que se pueden quitar, aunque en estos se sostienen bastante bien, y si no eres muy bestia (y usas el estuche en situaciones bestias) no deberías tener problema. Eso sí, para hacer deporte yo elegiría otros auriculares ya que, por bien que estos se sostengan y demás, en ese caso extremo no hay nada equiparable a uno de esos que tienen una patilla para la oreja. Además, no le veo mucho sentido a pagar el precio extra de este producto por una excelente calidad de sonido si luego no la vas a notar mientras botas corriendo o el deporte que sea, por no decir que obviamente sufrirán con el sudor, lluvia, etc. Para hacer deporte hay auriculares más apropiados (y más baratos). Dicho esto, por poder se pueden usar perfectamente, sólo digo que hay cosas mejores para eso. En fin, unos auriculares geniales para uso diario, especialmente para escuchar música mientras viajas/te desplazas. La relación calidad precio es correcta, porque muchos auriculares se mueven en el entorno de 15-20 € y no tienen absolutamente nada que ver en términos de durabilidad, comodidad y calidad de sonido. Si los perdiese o lo que sea, me los volvería a comprar.
