 Louder than iPod earphones, bass heavy. February 3, 2008
A. Butterfield (UK)

I got these to replace the 'phones that came with my iPod Touch. I think the iPod earphones are too quiet, especially when watching video, which can have a very wide dynamic range. Watching video on an iPod in a noisy place can be frustrating, even if you've tried all the tricks to get the sound up.
So I bought these hoping they'd drown out the background noise, and even if they weren't actually louder, they might seem louder. In practice, not only do they seal out your fellow passengers on the train, they are also a lot louder than the iPod earphones to start with. so much louder that I nearly blew my head off when I first tried them! Top marks for loudness.
The next thing you notice is that there's masses more bass than the iPod earphones can manage. If anything, there's slightly too much, but I've never liked a bass heavy sound.
Perhaps as as result of all that bass, it seems to me that the treble is a bit subdued in comparison. But they sound pretty good overall. The sound is very 'tight' and 'robust' like a pair of good speakers - very clear too and detailed. If you travel by bus, you will notice a massive difference over your standard iPod 'phones. It's as though the bus is heavily soundproofed and all the passengers are whispering. It's almost surreal.
A major (but one-off) annoyance was the nuclear-bomb proof packaging. Before you buy, have a pair of goggles and a tool kit handy...
Inside the packaging (if you manage to get inside) you'll find three different sets of rubber plugs for different-sized ears. The ones already on were fine for me as it happened. There's an extension cable too, but the attached cable is long enough if you have your iPod in a jacket pocket. There's also a cable clip (clips to your jacket), a rubber thing to wrap your phones around and keep tidy, and a little purse-style bag to keep accessories in.
Comfort, by the way, wasn't an issue for me: I thought I might not like pushing them in my ears but they felt quite natural. One thing you may not like is that if you touch the wire against anything, it transmits noise quite loudly. You may need to keep still. Also, if you talk or breathe (...) you can hear yourself. Worst of all is that when you walk on a hard surface, every footstep you take booms through the 'phones. This could be a big problem for you if you plan to use them while walking.
But for making a bus or train journey more pleasant, these 'phones are light years ahead of the ones Apple give you with an iPod.

I bought myself an iPod and had the Sony MDREX81 earphones from a previuous MP3 Player which were ok but not very loud. Just bought these earphones good frequency over all ranges and LOUD!!!. Good buy
A very satisfied customer April 30, 2008

I've bought a pair recently and am really impressed with all the extras that came along with the earphones and the material quality.
These are extremely comfortable and I can even sleep with them as it was kind of an earplug.
Sound quality is pretty decent, however in my opinion these could be just a little touch louder. Maybe Sennheiser made them this way because they're in-ear and could damage ear drums, I don't know.
As I've seen on some reviews, there are the following "issues":
1 - You can really listen to your footsteps if your shoes have a hard sole.
2 - Every touch that you do on the cable is very loud, so, make sure the cable don't move a lot. Sennheiser inclueded and cable clip which helps in this case.
3 - When it's windy and you're walking against the wind you can hear it, but I only noticed it in really really quiet moments, hardly any music playing so this for me is not a problem.
These are the first in-ear phones that I've ever used so I don't know if these "issues" above are valid for every kind of phone like that or not.
Overall, I'm a very satisfied customer and would gladly recommend it.
Excellent Bass May 23, 2008

My personal preferrence for earphones is that i prefer a sound with more bass. Having already owned some over ear Sennheiser's with noise reduction technology I know that a default of this technology is that it gives more bass.
Well having looked at several makes and models of in-ear phones for use in the gym I opted for the CX400's. And I'm very glad I did. Excellent sound, loads of bass, so much infact that depending on what type of music I am listening to I sometimes change the sound type on my I-pod to give less bass!! All round excellent sound, very smart looking. I'd definetely recommend these to anyone!!
Pretty damned good May 26, 2008

Having got increasingly fed up with quiet sony headphones on my phone, I decided to try these. If the frequency response had been 10 - 21000Hz, thye would be perfect. They are loud enough, the sound is clear and they can be used with the hands free sets for Sony Walkman phones - ie. they have a short cord for the headphones and an extension lead. I'm using these with a DS200 bluetooth stereo headset and a w910i. The W910i works well as a walkman but Sony's headphones are getting quieter all the time. These are good enough to make me consider other sennheisers too. I don't expect walkman headphones to last forever but these do a good job and at the price are excellent value. Id' be happy to replace these after 6 months as I only paid about a fiver.
