I have been struggling with the iPod supplied earbuds for quite some time, they truly are awful. I switched to a Phillips set which sounded good but broke within 3 weeks. After searching Amazon and various places for reviews on the net Sennheiser came out as the best again and again, so I went for it. Glad I did, they are great. Brilliant sound, very comfortable with a great seal - in fact, so good that when I'm doing my housework I can't hear the vacuum at all and have to keep checking it's actually on and unfortunately missed numerous phone calls. I've also had it confirmed that no one else can hear the music at all while I'm listening to it either so it would be great for trains/buses etc.
I also really like the way they have designed the actual connection plug where it sits in the iPod - it's solid, sturdy and it's angled so the wire is running to the side rather than straight down. I'm positive this will limit the likelihood of the wires becoming broken or unstable as happened with the Phillips set.
In fact, these earphones are so good, a friend who worked as a sound engineer and has been in the musical equipment business for years thought they were brilliant too and got me to order another set for his daughter to replace her iPod earphones.
I struggled to get used to the one side being much shorter than the other, but it's sorted now. The longer one just goes round the back of your neck. The wires are rubbery so may catch easily but I just put the wire through my t-shirt if necessary to ensure my arms don't catch it.
At last I can finally really appreciate the quality of the iPod. It's amazing how just changing to a quality set of earphones makes such a massive difference.
Oh, and these are a brilliant price too...I saw the same set in Curry's and PC World for 39.99.

I have a lot of sennheiser headphones. like PX100, PX200 HD497, HD215, MX550, but I think CX300 is the best choice. just only one thing, if you using it and walking on road, it's dangerous. you can't hear anything except the noise from the earphone. so be careful!!!
Fantastic! August 23, 2007

Many people complain about the sound quality of these headphones, but lets put things into perpective.
You should consider these headphones if:
- You want to replace standard issue headphones with a good quality pair, for under 20
- You listen to your music while on the move
- Normal headphones are constantly falling out
- You record your MP3's at 128kbps like everyone else
These headphones are probably not for you if:
- You record your MP3's at a higher data rate than 128kps
- You're using these headpones to try to detect subtle sounds that only dogs and dolphins can hear
- Listen for hours and hours on end
As with most things in this world, you get what you pay for. If you set your expectations of a < 20 pair of headphones too high, you are obviously going to be disappointed.
These are great headphones. They suit my needs perfectly.

The regular iPod earphones are weak, especially bass-wise, and I find they actually hurt my ears after about 10 minutes of use, due to their size.
The CX300s are an extreme improvement in both sound quality and comfort. The noises experienced when moving are very obvious when there is no music playing. However, with music playing, it's nigh-on unnoticeable unless you're doing something that would cause the cable to pound against you fairly hard. Whether or not intensive jogging would cause this I don't know, but it shouldn't be such an issue if you wear them properly (see below), as the cable ought to be at your side.
Many people complain about the right earphone's cable length. I don't think these people understand just how these are designed to be worn; the right earphone cable goes around BEHIND your neck, which makes it a lot less likely to tangle and generally more comfortable. It means you have only one wire in front of you, which is more manageable. If it's 'flapping around in front of you', you're wearing it wrong! The earphones were designed so that you have cable running up the left hand side, one earphone going into your left ear, the other going round the back of your neck and up into your right ear. This way, the cable being knocked against is a lot less likely, too.
In short, if you use the product the way it was designed to be used, there ought not to be any issues! Strongly recommended.
