Sennheiser Cx300 (Pictorial+ Review)

[Stuge]

Short Review on Sennheiser CX300

Not sure what to write but i still have to write something b`coz i promised everybody. .I have tested these phones with my MZ-DH10P ,NW-HD5,NW-E505 & D-NE900 in Different bitrates from Atrac192kpbs -352kpbs &,Mp3 192kpbs-320kpbs & with Audio cd`s as well .

--Pros(Good Points )

1.)They are very Comfortable (Three Diffrent Ear fit rings or tips are provided )

(i)Small,(ii) Medium,(iii)Large

2.)They provided good Isolation from outside sound (acc to me around 10-20db)

3.)Sound is balanced but not very bassy as i was expecting .

4.)Lows are quite clear.It also depends on how you set the equaliser settings .

5.).Cable quality looks Good .

6.)Good for listening Jazz(I basically listened to Norah Jones Songs )

Cons .

1.) No case is provided to keep phones .

2.) Not good for listening Disco or even Pop or Rock .

3.) For $60-70 they are not very immpresive .

4.) .Length of the cord is ok ,1m.

5.) .Sound is very Tiny even at high Volumes

6.) Slight Hiss is listenable with CX300 which quite irritating

ON 1 to 10 scale, I will only give 5 points .

Those who like less Bass will like these phones

This still sounds like a decent buy for someone on a budget. Also, according to HeadFi, the CX300 beat out the EX71. Based on their reviews, these are said to be better for classical music, not pop or disco, which seem to be your style of music.

Side note: You said you hate jazz. Follower!

Taken from that reviewers post:

For bassheads, the CX300 does it right, with well balanced low and middle bass frequencies (although for my taste, I would have to give the PX100 one extra notch in this category, as the natural, open-air bass thud of the PX-100 is still quite unique).

[Stuge]

Yeah ,I hate Jazz but i do listen to Norah Jones songs sometimes only .

Also i just want to warn people that don`t buy Cx300 if you are into Rock ,Pop or Disco (Clearly )

Very good closeups for for something that is not primarily a camera.

You can see clearly that the CX300 uses a mesh rather than a pinhole like the EX71/51s.

Thanks for the review.

The note about the hiss is a bit disconcerting, is it because they are very sensitive ?

I was wondering whether to go for the black or silver but after seeing your stylish black ones I think they are the way to go.

Thanks for the review.

thanks :)Since DH10P is not for camera purpose so it needs right light & exposure

Yeah ..According to Spec they are sensitive but i dont think anyone can 18Hz hear .

All walkmans out frequency responce is 20hz to 20000Hz(+or - 3db)..Also Human ears are aslo not that sensitive

nice pictorial ab, seems you've learned from ishi's pictorials.

keep 'em coming

thanks , Yeah Somewhat .My pictorials will get better b`coz by the end of this month i will be buying my own digicam . .

Not sure but i think my inbuild mechanism doesn`t allow me to listen to Jazz music that much .My Age can be factor also

I will try to my best to post Bose pictorial but since i have given these to my brother so it will hard to post pictorial anytime soon .Also both of us are having exams ..so we will not be meeting after 2 months .
