Sennheiser CX 400 sound-isolating earphones Review

By Nate Lanxon (cnet.co.uk) Read the full review

Earphones with excellent bass

Sound quality for the price ; great included accessories ; comfortable and unintrusive

Bass may be favoured too heavily for some listeners

A stunning set of earphones for the money. With great bundled accessories and sound quality to utterly destroy the 'phones that came with your MP3 player, Sennheiser's CX 400s are probably the best sub-£40 earphones you can upgrade to

By a consumer (pixmania.co.uk) Read the full review

Sennheiser headphones are just fantastic, I have separate pairs for home and mobile audio usage and have done for years.

Very good earphones

By jonnylyndon1 (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

I have been using these earphones for a few years now and they have never degraded in sound quality nor have they been replaced by another product. I am a music producer and therefore use them in my home studio so that I do not disturb the neighboors....

Noise cancelation, comford fit in ear, doesn't fall out, discreet, clear sound, slight bass boost

No built in micrphone

Sennheiser CX 400 headphones

By (pocket-lint.com)

Looking for a mobile headphone upgrade?

Overall, the CX 400 are inconvenient for use as a straight-up headphone replacement - having to use the extension cable is an unnecessary faff. The sound quality is good, better than your default bundled headphones, but we found them to struggle in...

Sennheiser CX 400 sound-isolating earphones review

Sound quality for the price ; Great included accessories ; Comfortable and unintrusive

Bass may be favoured too heavily for some listeners

But if you're prepared to spend just a little extra moolah, check Sennheiser's CX 500s. These are the top model in the series and will give you noticeably greater performance for little over a tenner more than the 400s. You'll get a bonus in-line...

Sennheiser CX400 Canalphones

Award: Recommended!

Block out the hubbub and enjoy your tunes with these punchy Sennheisers.

It's quite astonishing what £40 will buy you in terms of sound quality these days and these Sennheiser CX400s are among the best deals you will come across. They're not quite the last word in fidelity, and if it's the last word in realism and...

Review: Sennheiser CX 400

By Nate Lanxon (asia.cnet.com)

The CX 400 provides great value with terrific performance--a stellar first upgrade from bundled 'phones.

Sound quality for the price; great included accessories; comfortable and unintrusive

Bass may be favoured too heavily for some listeners

Well, it means as upgrades from any MP3 player's bundled earphones, the CX 400s stand as being the best value you'll find, with extremely good performance in spite of their affordability. Along with great sound quality for the money, they come with...

If you want to see what even a small investment in earphones will give you, you won't go far wrong with these gems. But if you're prepared to spend just a little extra moolah, check Sennheiser's CX 500s. These are the top model in the series and will...

Sennheiser CX400

By (fwd.five.tv)

Sennheiser CX400 is a pair of headphones that boasts of quality bass and clarity. It has rubber sheathes that protect the cable that comes from each earpiece from going down in your ear. Unlike other earphones with cables which are either too long or...

These in-ear buds are the perfect example of why you should replace your iPod's bundled pish. For a mere £5 shy of a demi-ton you get big, heavy bass, supremely clear vocals and oh-so-sweet treble. We pumped some brutish sounds through these earphones...

Er, nothing really. Normally we'd say the price for something this good, but at two score and five, these are cheap

Forget David Beckham-style earrings, these Sennheisers are the aural adornment you want to be wearing this season, not least for the outstanding sonics they trasport to your head balancers. They're a lot cheaper too!

Sennheiser CX400

It would be foolish to spend upwards of -100 on an MP3 player and then not bother to upgrade the headphones, and when you do there's a raft of companies vying for your money. Sennheiser has always been strong on the budget headphones front and its...

The noise-isolation design works well to cut out extraneous noises, while the single silicone rubber flanges ensure a comfortable fit in your ears. The sound quality is excellent, combining visceral, gut-rumbling bass with sparkling treble and a...

Ear-canal headphones from Sennheiser promises way more than other in-earphones, but does it deliver?

Good Sound, Good Bass, Very Comfortable, Designed for use with mobile phones/MP3 players

Very Pricey
