Sennheiser CX 475 Premium Earbuds Black

 (9 customer reviews)

These are very light, ultra comfortable, and sound GREAT! I have been a big fan of Sennheiser products for quite a while, and these earbuds definitely have the quality I have come to expect from them. The bass is good if you use the proper size gels. At first, I put on the smaller size and they didn't form a proper seal with my ears. This caused the lower end of the spectrum to be almost completely non-existent. I swapped them out with the largest size and that made a world of difference. These are truly full-range and have a crisp "non-tinny" sound to them. They are so light, you can barely tell you have them in, and they won't break the bank. Highly recommended! Just make sure you try all the seals to find the right size for your ears (these come with three different sizes).

I had high hopes for these earbuds from reviews, but they've consistently disappointed. The sound quality is merely OK ... the "massive bass" sounds artificial and hokey at times.

The real failure, though, is in practicality. The first major issue is that the earpieces are quite small and fat, and don't fit securely in the ear. Unlike the $40 Klipsh pair I had before, which were long and narrow and fit snugly in the ear, these have a terrible tendency to fall out at the lightest tug. They are also not very comfortable, again because of their awkward shape. And because they don't go very deep into the ear canal, you have to crank up the volume if there's any ambient noise, which makes them bad for the gym.

The second issue is the outer material on the wiring. It's a very high-friction rubber, which causes some of the worst tangling I have ever seen. Well-designed earbuds have a smooth, non-stick finish that actually inhibits tangles, but these are just...Read more

I wanted headphones which won't fall off while running outside or on treadmill. This ones are really nice, they fit snugly in ear canal without any discomfort. sound quality and noise cancellation is also above par, not as great as Bose but they do serve their purpose better then other ones.
