Summary: Sennheiser CX 400 In-Ear Headphones are great 2010-03-01
Comment: I love my iPod but the earphones which come with it, even with new nubs just didn't stay in my ears and the white posts stuck out of my ears at a funny angle. My husband has a pair of the Sennheiser earbuds and love them. I can hear why. They stay firmly in place and block out 99% of outside noise which is great for planes or when you really want to dive deep into whatever music you are listening to on your iPod. They come with a longer extension cord if you want to put your iPod into a pocket and a handy pouch which easily stores the ear phones and both cords. Great purchase.

Summary: Not Impressed....treble is painfully loud! 2010-02-18
Comment: I recently purchased these ear buds to replace my Sennheiser MX550's which are a good product for the price. I read the reviews about the treble being to much with the CX400's and they are TRUE. My reasoning for purchase was an increase in low frequency response which is allegedly gained through the closure of the ear bud within the ear. I listen to a wide variety of music from hip-hop to Andrea Bocelli and these headphones are not up to par. The bass is not a noticeable increase from the 550's and the high frequency's are ear piercing at even moderate volume levels. I would prefer the MX 500's I picked up on eBay for under $15. Would not recommend these ear buds to anyone.

Summary: Great sound, junk construction 2010-02-12
Comment: First off let me say I have an over the ears $200 headphones from this brand and they are Phenomenal, after break in sound better than a $3,000 set of speakers. These are not near that sound quality, but for ear buds are VERY good. For the price the sound quality is especially good. Now the bad news. You will only get to enjoy the sound for a week or two before they no longer work. The cord wire and connectors are just too weak to hold up to any real use. I had another pair of Sennheiser ear buds and they also did not last. By contrast I have had a pair of $15 skullcandy's that don't sound as good (although they are good) and have lasted two month with constant use. Come on Sennheiser put some better wire in these and I'll be a customer again. They could double the price and still be worth it then. But now, not worth anything.

Summary: Awesome Buds 2010-02-09
Comment: These are the most awesome ear buds I've ever owed. Before I purchased the Sennheiser CX400 I was a huge fane of Sony's ear buds because of the bass it produced. Now that I own an Sennheiser, I will probably never look at anothewr brand ... and I've tried every brand ear buds imagineable. The CX400 produces soooo much sound clarity and crisp bass it would be deemed my perfect pair of buds offeroing the perfect balance of amazing sound. The ear fit is customizable with three different sized ear buds. If you plan of using these buds everywhere your music goes then I would also suggest purchasing replacement buds along with your order as I've torn a few of my buds with everyday wear-n-tear. I take these ear buds everywhere. I listen to music on my Blackberry Pandora during all my commute as well as during lmy lunch break. In addition, I use the ear buds for Xbox 360 play as well as listening to Pandora, Youtube, CD, DVD, and anything else my laptop can play. I've place a lot opf music mileage on these buds and the sound continues to amazes me. Though, at the time of my purchase, I paid only $29 + shipping and I see now the price is going for $80 + shipping. Don't know why the steep price jump but I think you will not look back when purchasing CX400. At the moment I'm looking at purchasing the new Senbnheiser with Bass Boost ... but first I must complet my research.
