Sennheiser CX880i review

 

Sennheiser's new in-ear headphones offer up some amazing sound quality

Good detail ; Excellent balance ; Smooth and mellow treble

Detail a bit lacking at first but soon warms to be very revealing

Sennheiser CX 880 review

 

Sennheiser's CX 880 earphones have a surprisingly light and delicate sound. Their treble reproduction is particularly noteworthy – it's very clear, but suffered none of the harshness we've experienced from many earphones that emphasise clarity on high...

The delicate sound produced by the CX 880 set is well worth a listen, but they’re rather quiet and not as easy to upgrade as most earphones

Sounds good but feels cheap

Poor

 

Good sound quality. However, I am about to ask Amazon to replace my REPLACEMENT earphones as this set (and the original set) developed an interferance.... every time I adjust the volume control. This took several months to develope so, it made me think...

Consumer review by:

Overated and overpriced

 

Very disappointed with my first Sennheiser experience. I bought these as a replacement for my Denon AHC-560r. I plumped for them as they are in the mid market £100 price point. My expectation was that they would be well built, easy to use and sound...

Fantastic

 

These earphones are brilliant. I would not have paid 80 euro for them but for half price they are a great buy. I got them for my bf for christmas, he loves them and i am thinking of getting myself a pair aswell as i keep taken them from him.

Consumer review by:

Excellent Value

 

Bought these to replace a pair of cx300. After reading a lot of negative reviews I was slightly worried I'd made a mistake. They arrived with 3 size earbuds supplied. As I am a large bloke I immediately put the largest earbuds on. I used the earphones...
