Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating Ear-canal Phones, Black

Product Information

These Sennheisers, then, fit in totally effortlessly, providing an instant and utterly comfortable seal with the default medium-size eartips. If your ears are particularly deep, you may still find the cable fouls against your ear before you can get a good seal, but you can get round this by looping the cable over your ear and inverting the earpiece. A good seal also means you can get a good bass response, and with Sennheiser having upped the bass level on the CX 3.00 compared to the CX 300 II, bass is definitely something you get plenty of here. The deepest bass lines reverberate around your head in a way that few earphones can match. 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.

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 Originally released in late 2008, Sennheiser's CX 300 II Precision earphones are some of the oldest models on the market from the CX Line, but continue to deliver in almost every aspect. For those looking for a high-performance pair of earphones within budget, these are certainly worth considering. Features & Sound

You might find yourself thinking that in an increasingly wireless world Bluetooth headphones have completely taken over the market, and you wouldn’t be totally wrong. However, despite everything now becoming wireless, you’d be surprised how popular the trusty wired headphone is. With that, I’m here to talk about a little something from headphone behemoth Sennheiser, with their CX300S in-ear wired headphones.Yes the new cx-300ii is not perfect I still think the bass could be tighter, it dosent have the big soundstage of my AKG, the mids are not as full as they could be, and not the top end is not open as it could be either, and it dosent have all the detail either. But for the price to me its very good value, its musical and sweet sounding, smooth, fairly open and detailed, reasonably well balance tonally probably slight emphasis on bass though, and compared to the old model it is better. Slightly smoothed highs prevent the sound from ever becoming too bright or harsh. Of course, in the highest highs, the CX 300S can feel a little intense. But during most of my listening sessions, I was too busy enjoying the overall sound to notice these tiny and infrequent hiccups. Like the lows and mids, the highs abound with detail, and it’s all too easy to get lost in your favorite music with this tiny earphone. Soundstage The earphones themselves feel lightweight but solid, with an air of durability that reminds me of the long-reigning Sennheiser HD1 In-ear. Cabling comes in the form of a no-tangle, elliptical design, replete with an in-line mic and remote. The whole affair measures a standard 4 ft (1.2 m) and terminates in a right-angled 3.5 mm plug. 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.

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. 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. 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 The cable itself is slightly flattened to reduce tangles, which it seems to do quite well, and although it’s far from kink-free out of the box, it does hang reasonably straight.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. 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.
