Earphone and IPOD 80gb review 22.05.2008 3rd page ...http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11733256#post11733256

23.04.2008 2nd review page 2. - These sound like dog poo.

Full review in a few weeks time

Sennheiser CX300 -White

I'm about to buy these from a popular e-commerce company for £19 delivered.

I've tested my friends CX300, even though 1 ear bud is DEAD. I was still impressed!

I've also tested my friends Sennheiser HD 205, and was very dissapointed, as they could not handle bass. I listen to a lot of HIP HOP music.

Budget is about £50 MAX for in ear canel type headphones.

But these CX300 £19 delivered seem like a bargain compared to other sites that are selling them for £39.

What do you think? :)

Oh, these headphones are for my NEW black Ipod Classic 80gb, BTW.

Just read some reviews on the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3
-In short, they don't produce deep base. :rolleyes:
The sound quality. While the clarity may be good, the lack of any real bass and way too much treble is not enjoyable in in-ear headphones. Yes they are monitors. Yes they cost £60. But when I turned the eq setting of my ipod to 'bass boost', the headphones couldn't cope. The bass became horribly flattened and distorted.

Definitely not what I want.
 
Apple store = ££££££++++ :)

If buying from the large Jersey-based store, make sure it's really from them and not one of their marketplace sellers (you might as well buy from that-big-auction-site instead). I've had more than one fake / scratched DVD from those folk.

Yeah that was what I was going to do, £19 delivered from the rainforest guys :)

But right now I'm looking into the Sony EX 85/90's
 
Ok, final decision is CX300.
But I am worried they might turn out to be fake if bought from the famous rainforest.
Should I just buy from Apple store and be 100% sure they are genuine?!
...and if the common failure does happen I can easily take it back for replacement?!
 
Just got my Sennheiser CX95 earphones today for my Zen.

Rating the stock Zen earphones 5/10 I would give the CX95's 7/10 I suppose.

I knew I wasn't getting the best of the best for £50 I just wanted something that fitted my ear and sounded better, That's what I got :)

For £50 I would expect my headphones to be atleast 9/10 :confused:

Well I just ordered the cx300.
Only £19 delivered.
I will report back once I receive them :cool:
 
If only you posted that up earlier. Oh well, I have ordered the CX300's they have been dispatched today.
So I will just stick to these. but thanks for posting that anyway :)
 
I'm only assuming HD205 is a better model. And the fact that it costs more too.
So therefore I assume its not going to be any better than the HD205.
So you see where I am comming from?
 
I got the headphones!

First impression, I was slightly disappointed! :(
WHY?
It didn't handle the bass, and the equalizer was not even on bass booster! :o

I'm going give a full review in a few days/weeks time, after I have used it somemore...
