Great headphones

It's one of those wrap behind asymmetrical set of headphones. The left cord is shorter than the right. I don't mind it at all but others might. The plug is an L shape which again I don't mind but others might.

Great sound for $17 headphones. The bass and trable are good and the mids don't get drowned out too badly. Well worth the purchase if it goes on sale again. I have no clue how some people are saying these have no bass or that their $15 Sonys are better

For $17 I can't really say there are any cons

Too short

Sennheiser does have good products. I have the CX200 ear buds and they are great

The sennheiser CX301 that I just got are no good. One wire to the ear is much longer and the other one. The sound is not as good as my SX200 by a long shot. I sent them back for a refund

Excellent Earphones for the price

At full price, I think this would be a good value, on sale it is a superb value. This is my first set of in-ear headphones and I am amazed how much more comfortable they are versus OE headphones, and how good the sound is relative to the size. I would...

Fit perfectly in (my) Ears with the default attachements ; Very good Frequency response for Earphones of this size ; Comfortable (relative to OE headphones) ; Small and lightweight

No case to carry around. So you need to put with the equipment (MP3 player etc) and/or zip lock to make sure it does not get ruined when transporting ; As many people noted, when you move the wires you hear a rustling sound, however I think this is the...

Pretty Good

The sound is fairly good. As another review stated a little lacking in the bass. I bought mine on sale for a fraction of a price, so my review is based on the price. The price was comparable to Skull candies inkd. I would say these were better but if i...

Full retail is not worth the quality, which i regret to say as a huge sen fan. But if on sale i would say is worth it

JUNK

These are not a little bad they are AWEFUL. Iphone cheapos are 100 times better.

Nothing

Absolute NO BASS. I have the 200s (Bought from here) and they where great. I have no idea what happened here. These are junk, not worth returning and not worth using. I guess I could have just sent my money and had New Egg through them away remotely...

Nice

If they are on sale take a chance..Don't think you will regret it.

Clean, cear sound. No issue with the Bass. Great Price on sale. Tried the ME brand always muddy sound. Second pair of Sennheisers I was impressed as soon as I put these on

Excellent Sound Quality, Comfort, and Price

I'm usually loathe to declare myself a brand fan, but I'm totally sold on most Sennheiser equipment, and these earbuds, when bought on sale at Newegg, did not fail to impress.

Great sound quality ; Comfortable to wear ; Great price

No included bag or cable management. Big deal, cry me a river

Great for the price

The bass aren't as good as the CX 150 which I got on sale generally about the same quality but slightly more clarity on the CX 301

Great clean sound ; Bass aren't too bad ; Nice fit in ear in terms of the buds themselves

Asymmetry is an absolute pain and falls off easy

My first pair of earbuds

This was my first set of earbuds. I purchased them to use for gaming with my laptop. My big headphones always mess my hair up so I wanted earbuds instead.

Decent sound quality - not the greatest but I've never used other earbuds before so I can't really compare accurately. Of course, my headphones sound 100x better ; As for the comfort - I just barely was able to fit the smallest size in my ears. I have...

The only issue I have is that the left ear's cable is shorter than the right's. If they made both full length, I wouldn't have to lean in towards the laptop for it to reach. Somewhat annoying but I can deal with it. Maybe they were trying to save an...
