Sennheiser CX 300 - Earphones

They are in earphones that will never fall out of your ear. They provide great sound and block outside noise so you don't have to listen to your music with background noise.

The earphones are designed to be very small and are lightweight (Buy.com,Sennheiser CX300-B Lightweight Earphone(2009) - Product Summary). They are weighing a feathery 4grams, upgrades over the previous model include new drive unit and capsule, softer 'less noisy' cable with improved strain relief, right-angle 3.5mm plug and claimed improvements to bass, clarity, dynamics, balancing and volume levels(AVReview, Sennheiser CX300-II Precision (12 / 02 / 09 - para.1). They are easy to wear. This reduces the friction and rubbing due to the weight of heavy cables. When we compare this cable on the Sony Ex71 is heavy in comparison, and pulls down the earphones, which is very uncomfortable. The asymmetric cable design also gives the user plenty of room to tuck under a jacket and easier for portable devices. Not only is it more secure and the cables are better hidden, but it also eliminates some of the cable-microphonics, of which the CX300 has plenty. Microphonic cables means that a lot of noise is transferred to your ears when you touch the cable(anythingbutipod,Modified Sennheiser CX300 - Y-style cable(May 2006) - dfkt administrator).

The earbud of sennheiser CX-300 earphone is made of soft and flexible a soft rubber ( Review centre,sennheiser cx 300 review(June 2006) -Comfort ). Since the earbud are soft and having a nice fit. They can fit very well into ear canal and they never fall out. They do a very good job at sound isolation. Once a good seal is made in the ear it was fantastic and a great noise blocker. This type of headphone the earpieces have to be pushed right into the ears, entering a few millimetres into the ear canal and forming a seal like earplugs. The advantages are threefold: the sealing effect blocks external noise and allows you undisturbed listening; the bass end of music is fuller and stronger and finally they tend to fit very snugly so they are less likely to fall out of your ears when you move(Ciao,Sennheiser CX 300,Review(July 2007) - In-Ear Headphones). A bonus for people around you is that the sound does not leak out, so people beside you do not have to endure hearing a tinny, hissy version of your music. Soft rubber earbud in three different sizes are included to ensure a perfect fit, high wearing comfort and an excellent attenuation of ambient noise. The drivers themselves appear well-constructed. Looks like they're made mostly of plastic, but there's a metal ring between the driver body and the "stalk" that the silicone tip connects to which improves the appearance, and adds some weight to each side. The units are quite small and inconspicuous, and you could definitely sleep in them without accidentally drilling them into your brain(Sennheiser CX - 300, Overview(2006) - Pros).

The sound quality on these Sennheiser earphones is awesome due to good design of earbud. There is no crackling noises that seem to plague other headphones. The Sennys also block out background up to certain noise level. They are better in sound quality, compared to mdr-ex71 that produces a hissing sound to ears(Whirlpool,Sennheiser CX-300 earphones(August 2006) - Husky). The music quality is also significantly better than with the awful standard iPod earphones. The best part is that as it goes down further into your ear rather like an ear plug, even in noisy environments you can listen to your music at a lower volume. And still hear it!

The prices of earphone accessories are relatively low but mostly differ with material they are made of(Global sources, Headphone accessories(January 15, 2008) - Prices depend on quality of materials). Because these give positive qualities that the Sennheiser CX 300 earphones possess. The earbud of these headphone made of silicone are comfortable to touch and can be colored or shaped into fashionable, attractive designs to appeal to the target customer—young consumers. The Silicone made in mainland China is priced lower. This makes the price of reasonable within rage of £30 - £14 with good sound quality for the price.

Overall, I think that the sound quality and fit of the earphones is great due to their design principles and the price also reasonable due to material made of. So these make them worth recommending.
