Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)

Sennheiser CX880i

 

Work well with vocals, bass is disciplined

Slight hint of edginess in the treble

Classy in-ears that excel with vocals, but certain rivals are better and cheaper

Sennheiser CX880i review

 

Sennheiser's new in-ear headphones offer up some amazing sound quality

Good detail ; Excellent balance ; Smooth and mellow treble

Detail a bit lacking at first but soon warms to be very revealing

Expert review by : Ty Pendlebury (cnet.com.au)

Sennheiser CX 880i

 

The Sennheiser CX 880i are iPhone headphones which sound great but take a lot of perseverance to achieve a good fit.

Integrated microphone and play controls ; Good sound for those who are patient

Hard to get a good fit ; Can be too shrill or too bassy ; iPhone only

This creates issues for sound quality as well. If you don't get a good seal, you'll find that the sound is overly forward. And while it sounds crisp, it can get tiring — you'll also experience plenty of outside noise leakage. Persevere too long and you...

Meh, not worth $170

 

Sound okay

compare to my old 70 dollars bose headphones, this one is two time the price and suck so to say. Volume is low. Design is cheap, cable feels cheap. If you're the one that like lound music, don't get this one

Awesome Sound

 

I bought these for my iPhone 4 cause the standard Apple ones just dont cut it anymore. Mostly just a lack of volume. The Sennhiesers set me back $86 which was great value. All round stoked with this buy :-)

Price, sound and volume.

Sennheiser CX880 In Ear Headphones

 

Great sound quality and quite comfortable to wear. You genuinely will hear parts of music you have never heard before.

Could feel a tad more expensive and the leather pouch is a tad too small.

Sennheiser CX880 In Ear Headphones

 

Solid well designed in-ear headphones with great sound quality despite the slightly overpowering bass. Very comfortable to wear and won't make your ears hurt even after a long listening session.

I find the volume control a little awkward and it feels very cheap unlike the rest of the headphones. The bass is slightly overpowering but can be corrected using equalizer.
