Product Information

some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online) The most obvious thing about the CX 3.00 design is that Sennheiser has moved from a straight earpiece to one with a slight angle to it, and this makes all the difference to how well they fit, as well as the resulting comfort and sound quality.

Wow. I'd grade my CX 500 like 6.5/10 and the CX 400 5.5/10. I wonder how they compare to the CX 300-II or 400-II. The cable lengths for each ear are identical and there’s a little sliding woggle for tightening the cables up under your chin – like all the cool kids do nowadays.

Sennheiser Headphones: Verdict & Compatibility

Hi! Nice review!! I would like to know the exact functions of the remote. Can I skip songs and control the volume? Vocals and instrumentation both benefit from this clean and precise presentation. Slightly forward leaning, the mids in the CX 300S offer a refreshing alternative to a v-shaped sound profile. The result is an ample and full sound that seems equally well suited to any genre – but one that abounds with an impressive amount of resolution for the price. High End

Accessories-wise, the CX 300S might seem a little light. Included with the earphones, you’ll find four pairs of silicon eartips and a soft carrying pouch.

I was going to buy the most acclaimed RE2 but when I saw that those CX300 II are better than the old CX300 I am starting to think twice...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. Due to the perfect fit and lightweight nature of these earphones, we found we could wear them almost indefinitely. The sealed nature of them means you sometimes want to let your ear breathe every now and again, but otherwise they’re just a joy to wear. We even found we could sleep with them in, with them not pressing on our ears when resting on a pillow. All too often these sort of in-canal earphones, where the rubber earpiece tips sit in and seal against the outer edge of your ear canal, are scuppered by not reaching far enough into the ear to get a good seal – at least, not without being pushed uncomfortably far in. This can be avoided by having a longer earpiece that gives more room for the tip to reach into your ear without the cable fouling against your earlobe, but a much easier solution is to angle the earpiece to more accurately match the angle of the canal itself, as done here.

I want to hear all the music details of Trance and Psytrance songs with a good(not heavy) bass,the RE2 as I understand has it all but the Bass,so how's those CX300 II at this stage and how can you compare them to RE2 or even Nuforce Ne-7M???It doesn't take a genius to calculate the CX 300-IIs offer sensational value; they're a simple and extremely effective upgrade.

SOUND Overall Impressions: Bountiful lows, good detail for the price, versatile sound signature. Lows But let’s be clear, these are a huge upgrade over most in-the-box earphones and they’re specifically aimed at those who like their bass – in that regard they live up to their billing. Just bought a new sennheiser cx-300-II. After 1 hour it sounds better than the old cx-300. A smoother and sweeter sound with a tighter not so boomy bass, more natural mids a bit fuller voices and not as harsh or brittle highs a bit more natural sounding overall headphones. I found the old cx-300 a bit bright and harsh these ones i can actually relax more too- it has more warmth but still with detail. So far Ive only being listening too Gregorian masters of chant. I will update as it burns in more and listen to other music. The old cx-300 I would of given 6.5-7 perhaps for sound, this at least 7.5 out of 10 so far. The Sennheiser CX 3.00 are great low-cost earphones. They’re lightweight, easy to handle and incredibly comfortable. Their angled design also makes for a top-notch seal, resulting in great bass response and noise isolation. There’s even a choice of four tips and a case.So, after reading your opinions, the new cx-300 II don't seem to be a big improvement in sound if compared to the older ones, as I suspected. Anyone comparing the new model with cx-400? Yes the new Cx-300-II are an upgrade on the older cx-300. Before the older model i found a little harsh on highs and boomier bass and the new model fills out the mids a little more too. If I had to measure it at this stage with only a few hours use - 10-15% better I suspect it would improve a bit more with use. I found with audio things take awhile to break in (burn in) some people dont believe in it but from my experience in each component and speakers i have bought things have improved with burn in. I am very disappointed with them – my cheap Samsung earphones that came with my phone sound better!

The CX 300S presents a fairly spacious soundstage. Though you can’t call the sound experience holographic, there is some depth there. And imaging is precise enough to hear degrees of width with respect to instrument placement. SUMMARY
