Sennheiser CX 5.00

The Sennheiser CX 5.00 earphones replace the CX500s, which have been around for years – and yes, the two bear very pretty similar.

Large-scale sound ; Rich, smooth tone ; More striking than older designs

Non-removable cable ; More ear-charming than strictly accurate

Rich and huge-sounding earphones that should please almost all ears.

Consumer review (johnlewis.com)

Suitably impressed

Agonised for ages over what to buy - cordless, buds, over-ear, blah blah. Eventually settled on the price/performance/convenience compromise with these guys and I've been very happy with them. The tone is much better than my previous (cheap) pair,...

Good but not great

When talking there is often quite a bit of interference through the microphone which is clearly disappointing. The sound quality when listening to music alone is good.
