 The best headphones I have ever had July 23, 2009

I had previously owned a pair of Philips noise-isolating headphones similar to these. While they did keep out external sounds, the problem with them was the huge battery pack attached to the wires that operated the noise isolation vacuum.
These Sennheiser are just as good, if not better, at keeping out external sounds, but don't have the battery pack.
They also sit really snugly in your ear, come with a three different size attachable ear-heads so that they will fit comfortably in most ears, and have a simple but classy little carry case keep them clean and proteceted.
When headphones enhance your appreciation of your music, they have done their job. These headphones do that more than any other pair I have ever had, and on that count I wholly recommend them.
High quality earphones July 23, 2009

I'm a bit of a music buff, so I am very clear about the quality of what I use.
Previously I stuck with Sony Fontopia, which I've had for some time. Decent, but they're wearing out. And the short cable is annoying.
These Sennheisers have one significant thing over the Sonys:
They are MUCH LOUDER!!!!
I've got my mp3 player on half the previous volume, and cut the bass, and they're still booming loud.
And very clear.
The only problem is, I can hear my footsteps if the earbuds are fully in, so I have to fiddle a bit.
But these are seriously good headphones.
Wow! July 18, 2009

First time I've ever used this manufacturer's ear phones but it certainly won't be the last. The machine is my 160Gb Ipod Classic. The earpieces fitted perfectly snugly into (wait for it) my ears and then I began with a test to destruction.
Neil Young (with guest Chrissie Hynd's) balls against the wall sonic assault on 'All Along The Watchtower' on loud and it just about fried my brain. This is a good thing. Despite the volume everything came over perfectly and, yes, the bass, was great.
Next up Lady Gaga's 'I like it rough' for a synthesiser test. Perfect.
Next up a little Blues courtesy my main man Lightnin' Slim. Man, I coulda been in the studio down on the bayou.
Finally Fotheringay (Sandy Denny's) 'Banks of the Nile', as delicate and haunting a piece of folk-rock as has ever been heard. And, yes, even this oh so familiar piece had just the faintest extra resonance.
Oh yes, these are good and do what they say they do. Sennheiser CX 300-II ECO Noise-Isolating Ear-Canal Phones - Black rock!
UPDATE
I have a painting, a still life done by a member of the family and it's over a hundred years old. I've lived with it so long that I just stopped seeing it. Then my wife had it renovated. Essentially, the top layer was taken off revealing details and techniques I'd never noticed before.
After using these earphones for nearly a week now the same sort of thing has happened to all my old favourite tracks. I hear them with a clarity and depth I'd never heard or noticed before, making them sound fresh and new.
I will never buy earphones again unless they're by Sennheiser.
A complete convert to Sennheiser July 23, 2009

Like many people, I've usually made to with cheaper sets of headphones for my iPod, never forking out more than a tenner for a pair. But giving this set a go has completely reformed my headphone habits - the difference in sound quality is amazing. I listen to a lot of different musical styles on my iPod, and in every case, the clarity across the whole range from low to high is fantastic. Bass lovers will be happy to hear that the low tones are booming, while classical fans will enjoy the perfect reproduction of tones across the whole range. The ear buds do a great job of noise isolation, cutting all but the loudest of outside noise.
You'd expect no less from Sennheiser, and the little extra cost is definitely justified by the improvement in your sound experience - I'm a total convert.
A High End Product July 21, 2009

Let me begin my making it clear that I am in no way an expert in audio technology. However, hopefully I can give a review of these earphones in a simple and easily understood manner.
As far as comfort goes, I would rate this product extremely highly. The different attachments provided, allow the earphones to cater to all sizes and the flexible material allows them to mould to one's ear perfectly. I have had other earphones in the past, and although they too came with alternative attachments they were not nearly as pleasant to wear for an extended period of time.
The sound the earphones provide, seems to me, to be impeccable. As soon as I placed them into my ears, I appreciated the noise reduction technology as the sounds around me were immediately dimmed. I have used these with both my laptop and mp3 player and have found them to work well and provide a clear and pure sound as intended. The film I watched on my laptop was particularly effective as the prowess of the earphones almost gave the impression of being in the action oneself.
I also tested the earphones whilst jogging to see how effectively they would handle movement and I'm pleased to say that `extremely well' is the conclusion I came to.
As for the way the earphones look, I feel that sleek and sophisticated are words that apply. The asymmetric cord hangs subtly and the dark colour heightens the inconspicuous nature (unless of course you happen to be wearing white!).
After asking family members around me whether or not what I was listening to was audible to them, I have concluded that the earphones do, to a much greater extent than normal, protect people in close proximity from unnecessarily listening to your music.
Overall I would recommend this product to anyone who wishes to have a truly pleasant and rewarding audio experience.This is a high end product that justifies the saying "you get what you pay for".
