Terrible Headphones for this Price

Comment:

I bought these after my Sony headphones of the same style and same price broke. Immediately when I tried the Sennheiser CX 300 II headphones for the first time I could tell a massive difference in sound quality compared to the clear Sony's I had been using for the past year. The Sennheiser's are a complete waste of money. For this type of sound quality I would pay at most $25. Admittedly the bass is very strong, but it is not crisp. My suggestion, buy Sony's of similar price and you will be much happier.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

Tired of getting bugged by people on airplanes because my music was too loud! Had a great pair of Sennheiser PMX60 earphones but caused too much noise around me. These do the trick nicely - great sound, nobody bothered around me! Wonderful fit - very comfortable and i can blow my ears out.
