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

Product Information

Beginning with Alexis Weissenberg’s interpretation of Sergei Rachmaninov’s Prélude No5 in G Minor, the performance sounds human. Each of the five members of our professional listening panel, who have a range of ages and ear sizes, gives a rating for how comfortable they find the headphones to wear, and we take an average.

Sorted out the apparent bass issue would be a big bonus as I hate how my 212s (cans) can make a right mess of bass. Well the cx-300-II at this stage has deeper bass, more sparkly highs,the akg have a bigger and deeper soundstage and fuller mids probably a little more forward too and warmer sound (slightly rolled off top end). Though vocals sit a touch forward, you’ll still get a sweeping, full-bodied chorus when listening to big rock and pop-rock tunes. Obviously there are some headphones, but accompanying that are four different size ear tips so you should be able to fit them in your ears without any issues. With plenty of volume and a big, meaty sound, it looks like Sennheiser has another hit on its hands.Holding the white colored model in my hand, the plastic looks cheap and susceptible to discoloration. 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. We’ve got a muscular, rich bass that gives ample impact to pop songs and tons of warmth to rock tracks. The Triangle LN01A active HiFi speakers are here - and aiming to deliver an immersive and clutter-free audio experience.

Sennheiser CX 300-II Noise cancelling Earbuds Headphones

Sennheiser CX-300s are decent value for money but they are definitely low end headphones, no way around it. First thing, the CX 300's bass went as deep as the ER-6i's, but the vocals and guitars on Ryan Adams's mostly acoustic new CD, 29, were noticeably less "canned" and hollow-sounding on the ER-6i. For wired pairs, the focus is on the strength of the joint between the headphones and the cable, as this is where many cheaper wired headphones fail. Instantaneously I can tell these are a massive upgrade from any of the freebies or cheaper sets you find on the market. So, folks with ears that are sensitive to high frequencies should find these earphones easy on the ears.Like all the in-ear phones we've tested, the Sennheiser CX 300 won't produce any bass at all unless its soft silicon ear tips form an airtight seal inside your ear canals.
