 Brought these after owning 1 pair of CX300's for 2.5years! June 18, 2009

Ok, I'm not a total Audiophile but I do appreciate a good sound and listen to all kinds of music through my 20 year old celestion speakers at home.
I can understand that these type of earphones are not suited to everybody. However they seem to be suited to most people and I love them. There not so expensive that you have to worry every time it rains but they give good enough sound for a really enjoyable listening experience. Having owned the original cx300's for 2.5 years they finally gave up and I decided to try out the newer incarnation.
Can't tell if they are that much better than the orginal cx300's, but they certainly seem to give a good rounded sound with all the high's and lows that I'd expect. To test my old used, abused and busted cx300's side by side wouldn't be fair.
Some people like the asymmetric cable design (1 side is longer than other and goes round back of head), others don't. I actually ordered a pair of CX400II's but cancelled the order as soon as I realised that they were symmetric as I just find this design to save me so much hastle.
One point I should make is that these headphones do sound better after a few hours of use so don't pull them out of the box, decide that they sound naff and come on here and post a review.
Also, these headphones do block a fair amount of noise as long as you get a good fit in your ear (which is paramount on this design). I sometimes use them on my motorbike, which I'm sure some people will abuse me for but personally I love cruising along on a nice summer day weaving to my favourite chillout tunes.

Earphones are high quality for sound but also extremely comfortable to wear - they come with extra bits for fitting to the individual's ears. Very pleased with them.

Bought these CX300 II headphones after having a good scout about to see what was out there. I've had problems with headphones staying in my ears in the past, even when just sitting on the train, and so had resorted to the round the ear hook headphones up till my recent set broke. I decided to try a set of in ear headphones after reading multiple good reviews about the quality of sound, and the CX300 came up on top every where I looked.
The sound quality is like nothing I've ever experienced before from headphones, far superior to the standard issue Zen or ipod versions that I'm used to. The bass is strong but doesn't drown out the full,crisp sound, and the music feels like its right in your head rather than being directed towards your ears
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality upgrade from standard issue rubbish ones, the difference is phenomenal!
Sennheiser CX 300 II Ear canal phones August 3, 2009

These are the best ear phones I have used so far. I have had a set of Sennheiser headphones for a few years and they have been very good. I use the Ear Canal phones with my iPod when I am out walking or in the Gym and they stay put and provide top class sound all the time. They come with 3 sizes of soft rubberised covers that fit snuggly into the ear and prevent a lot of external noise from mixing with your music. The bass response is very good. Highly recommended.
excellent headphones July 16, 2009

I had been using a pair of on-ear Sennheiser headphones and bought these as an upgrade and wanted to see what ear-canal phones were like. The sound is very good, full, balanced and involving, with effective bass response without being in any way overbearing. Turn them up and the sound just grows rather than gets louder, with no harshness. The noise isolating aspect let's you enjoy the music with no outside distractions.
Once you fit them properly in your ear, they are comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time without any discomfort. Fantastic value for money.
