" ... Sound quality is excellent for the price, especially after some burning in. ... "
" ... Very good, I've been using them every day for music, videos and everything in between. ... "
" ... Audio is slightly quieter but beyond that I can't fault them in the slightest. ... "
" ... 10/10 for sound quality, handy case for anti tangle if put away correctly. ... "
" ... I've heard music and vocals that I have never heard before in tracks I have been listening to for years, it's incredible how much difference great quality headphones make. ... "
" ... Those looking for high quality sounds without the bulkyness, these are the ones. ... "
" ... Not as neutral sounding as I would like, having pronounced presence peak making every mix sound a bit too bright for my taste. ... "

" ... had the previous model a few years ago and solid headphones. ... "
" ... I like the style of the headphones which is the main reason for buying them. ... "
" ... Very happy with the sound and find wearing them all day to be comfortable. ... "
" ... They produced a good quality of sound, and when you found the right ear bud and really shoved them into your ears, the bass was just great. ... "
" ... Decent sound, good build quality, and importantly very comfortable! ... "
" ... nice in-ear headphones. ... Try all the ear tips. ... "
" ... Ergonomically they are a leap ahead with them sitting in my ear a great deal more snugly than the CX300s. ... "
" ... I've had other Sennheiser's in the past and they've been great, always fitting well. ... "

" ... A previous pair lasted for almost TWO years and others for about 6 months, whereas my last pair only managed 2 months. ... Each and every time one earpiece stops working randomly. ... However it isn't convenient having to send my earphones back every time, and as soon as 2 weeks, and waiting on a repair, or a new pair, every time. ... "
" ... After 2 months one of the earphones stopped working ... "
" ... good for a while until 1 ear stopped working this had happened twice now so i will not be buying them again ... "
" ... One earphone went dead within a couple of months. ... "
" ... Sadly this is all in the past as, despite taking good care of them, one of the earphones stopped working apropos of nothing. ... "
" ... Not even a year old and one of the earphones has stopped working. ... "
" ... Broke within 2 months, if you want to argue the point that it was my fault then I suppose that’s fair enough but I should mention these aren’t exactly made from a high quality material. ... "
" ... Broke after 2 months of normal use :( Wish I could still buy the CX 300s because they'd usually last me a year before any faults. ... "

" ... A great wee product which produces a great sound and a very snug fit. ... "
" ... A series of different size buds are supplied to ensure a snug fit. ... "
" ... very comfy fit, no sound leaked at all at high volume and the sound quality is very solid, nice mid top and bass but not too bassy. ... "
" ... The large plugs give a good fit for me but I can’t route the cables over my ears to avoid contact noise due to the angled design of the earpiece. ... "

" ... But not worth the price as they broke after a few months (2-3max). ... "
" ... However, they seem to be very inconsistent in terms of durability. ... Not due to damage as I take good care of them but even as i'm sitting still with them in, one side just stops working. ... "
