Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the CX 300S earbuds to use with my portable MP3 player while walking/jogging. The rubberized cord tends to stick/cling to your clothing which results in the buds getting yanked out of your ears as your clothing moves around (not to mention the fact that the cord is a little too short.) The buds must be fully inserted into your ear canal in order to hear the full fidelity of the music. With the buds fully inserted, most of the outside sounds are silenced... but this has the effect of amplifying inside (in-body) sounds such as breathing, teeth chattering, swallowing, etc... as well as the sound that the cord makes as it rubs around. Also, as the air moves past your head (while walking) you'll notice very pronounced wind noise! I also noticed that once you get the buds properly fitted, then you smile at someone, the buds tend to pop out! No more smiling!
Now, let me say that if I'm sitting at my desk with the buds properly fitted, the sound is amazing. Very good fidelity with bright highs and nice bass. But, to fully enjoy your music, you'll need to sit perfectly still and breathe gently (and don't touch the cord!)
If you're skeptical about the amplified internal body sounds, try this experiment: take your index fingers and gently press them into your ear canals... not all the way in as to fully plug your ears, but gently about 2/3's of the way in. This is about where the buds will sit when inserted. Now, gently tap your teeth, or take a deep breath. Take your thumbs and rub your index fingers... you get the idea.
I know that this is not a defect with the Sennheisers... this is an inherit problem with anything that you'd stick into your ear canal. And I've now learned that I absolutely hate in-canal phones... very, uncomfortable and inconvenient (and I've recently learned that in-ear phones can cause hearing loss.)
I am switching back to my Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones which sound amazing. And they're so comfortable that you might forget that you're wearing them.
Bottom line: If you're a fan of in-ear buds, then I recommend the CX 300S's... they do sound very good when properly worn. Since most of my gripes are with in-ear buds in general, I cannot fault Sennheiser nor the CS 300S's. I rate them only 4 stars because the rubberized cord is annoying and it's a bit too short.
