Sennheiser CX 980i

 

The CX series takes to the catwalk with the stylish CX 980 earphones.

Stylish design ; Smooth, easy on the ear sound

Bass not entirely under control ; Expensive

Far more stylish than the vast majority of Sennheiser's earphones, the CX 980i are sleek and exceptionally well-made. They sound good too, with that Sennheiser smoothness we know and love, but we don't think they quite sound £199 good. A less than...

Excellent Headphones. Not cheap, but worth it.

 

Had these for a few weeks now, and they are very good. I use for commuting on the train and when in the gym and going running. The in-ear buds are very comfortable and prevent the sound from "leaking". The remote is easy to use and made of very high...

Brilliantly high quality sound!

 

I was sceptical at first whether the high price of these headphones would actually deliver a significant enough difference over and above my current ones. I have always been of the "average price" school of headphones before and at first I didn't think...
