Sennheiser CX 980 Headphones Review - Intro

 

The Sennheiser CX 980s are a new pair of in-ears from Sennheiser. The headphones look great and have a sound to match, but at the slightly steep price point of $260, mainstream listeners won't find much to keep them from buying one of Sennheiser's less...

The CX 980s are a good set of headphones that feature great audio quality, solid construction, and come with a decent array of packed-in extras. We have no complaints with the audio quality, but we would've liked a few more sleeves to ensure a better...

A great set, but most people could get a similar experience for cheaper

Great frequency response; Even tracking; Comfortable for in-ears

Not the best isolation

Excellent earbuds, with a few issues

 

These are excellent earbuds. The sound is open, spacious, clear, and pleasant. I have listened to music for hours on these, and my ears don't get tired at all. Here's what I like and don't like. The sound is open, with sparkling high frequencies and...

Best earbuds I've ever owned. Absolutely fantastic sound

 

Before buying this, I had been going through Senn's CX-400 model once a year. They were great don't get me wrong, I love that model and it's a good deal, but they wear out over extended use. I've had one of the speakers go out, and then on my...

Nice but pricey

 

Best earbuds i have ever bought. The bass is extremely good. I paid $130 on a Gold Box deal...i personally would not pay more than that for them. I've used them at the gym with my Ipod shuffle and the sound is amazing...very good sound on the Iphone...

Good Headphones with caveats

 

These are good headphones overall - they sound really great and they fit well. The sound isolation is decent, but not as good as with active systems, but they're also a lot less conspicuous than my set of Bose cans. The bits I didn't like were that: 1)...

It didn't work, nada zip zilch. Sent it back.

 

It didn't work, nada zip zilch. Sent it back. The packaging is dreadfully complicated and the headphones have some strange features like a volume control slide and a funny little metal bead on the cord that will probably just be in the way.

Found a work around for making them fit and seal in my ear ....

 

I agree that these are not the best fitting and ergonomically designed earbuds. I bought them despite the the other reviewers warning about the fit. I opened the box, tried the various sized tips and still couldn't get a good seal in my ears!...

Consumer review by:

Whoa the bass.

 

Recently (as in last month), bought a pair of HifimAn RE-0's and they were awesome headphones, extremely well built and extremely clear. Unfortunately, they lack any kind of oomph when it comes to bass. Gave them to my daughter and went searching for a...
