Sennheiser CX 300

By JapanAlex (cnet.co.uk) Read the full review

My review is actually about the Sennheiser CX-300-II (which, exasperatingly, have not been reviewed here, yet *taps foot) - What HiFi gave these 5 stars - which is exactly what they deserve! It's really irratating when people boo-hoo these headphones...

Bass is superb. Bass, mids and treble are seperate functions. Cheap. Noise isolation is AMAZING

CNET reviewer didn't review them right. Sometimes noise from cable, when brushing against clothes, can be slightly irritating

Sennheiser CX 300 Review

By Steve Guttenberg (cnet.co.uk) Read the full review

Noise-isolating in-ear headphones

Solid sound quality ; significant isolation from outside sounds ; ultra-lightweight design ; three sizes of silicon ear tips to ensure a perfect fit ; all for around £30

Doesn't come with a travel pouch or any other accessories

If you're looking for an affordable, decent-sounding pair of earbuds, start with the Sennheiser CX 300. Sennheiser's first in-ear design sounds like a winner to us

Sennheiser CX300 earphones review

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

Sound is always important and for most of the time the headphones packaged in with your MP3 player is where the company has cut the most corners. Apple might have those iconic white earphones but most magazines and websites will agree, upgrading is the...

Good sound, good fit, cheap

Don't come in iPod white

As the next step up from the headphones you get in the box the CX 300 perform well

While the Shure E4c Sound Isolating Earphones will set you back almost £190, Sennheisers approach is a more affordable £32. Available in black or silver the CX300's are stereo ear-canal headphones with powerful, bass-driven stereo sound for listening...

Sennheiser's off to a good start, but the CX 300's sound is nowhere as clear and open as that of our favourite Shure and Etymotic models

Sennheiser CX 300 review

By tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)

The music player is the bringer of sweet mercy to the noise, filth and crowd-addled commuter. If a stressful journey on public transport is part of your daily routine, investing in a good set of earphones could make a real difference

Very comfortable to wear

No carry case

Sennheiser CX300 review

By tech.co.uk staff (techradar.com)

There's no point spending £100 on a decent MP3 player and then dilutingthe sound quality with bog-standard earbuds. If you can stretch toanother £30, try these brilliant alternatives from Teutonic audiotitans Sennheiser, complete with cortex-pounding bass

Very comfortable to wear

Sennheiser CX300 II

By (techradar.com)

The CX 300-II has an asymetrical cable system where the left earbud is passed around the back of your neck to keep the cables out the way

Superb value ; Great audio ; Light and comfortable

Soft cable and connector feel robust ; Slightly flabby bass and unrefined treble ; Asymmetrical cables

If you're on a budget but want to ditch the crappy Apple buds, we can't say it loudly or plainly enough: buy a set of Sennheiser CX 300-II
