 Good sound? Really? October 10, 2008
O.k so there seems to be some mixed reviews and accuasations of fakes over these phones. Please let me add my 2 cents. I bought a pair from HMV for 55 to replace my CX 300's. I was incredible dissapointed with the mid range and muddy sound(EQ set to flat). Bass was great thoughwith the bass booster set to on, on the ipod, but drowned everything else out. Luckily the wire broke within a week, so i returned the to the store, got 2 new pairs of 300s on speical at 20 and was refunded the 15 difference. The moral of the story is i went for 2 pairs of the cheaper model in the line instead of 1 pair of these(tho i would of been happy with any headphones except these). Remember price doesnt indicated sound quality, these are like listening to music while swimming.

Sennheiser CX 500 - High Quality Noise Isolating Ear-Canal Headphones With Volume Control - Black
Really comfortable, purchased a Sony MP3 player about a month ago and have purchased four different types of headphone both in ear and round ears to try and get a comfortable pair and these are great, my left ear canal must be different from the right but these are pefect using two different rubber caps and the sound is excellent, this is one very happy bunny

Hi Guys & Girls,
Now I have spent about a week trawling through reviews of various headphones. I have some Bose on ear headphones which are I must say amazing ! Rich deep tones and bass that is out of this world. Use it with my Itouch and Mac.
Enough of the plug of the Bose however there is a reason why I bring this into the equation. Now the On ear Bose headphones are slightly big for commuting and not for the run of mill ordinary worker commute ie walk to bus stop get on bus get of bus and then get on train etc. I think you understand me.
My review is for these headphones on an ordinary commute day to day.
Now the stuff you have been waiting for the whole truth and nothing but the truth ie the nitty gritty about these babies. Got my headphones today will not bother you like some others who seem weird crazy obsessed with the packaging...(very odd just open up and use them come on !!)
The headphones come with a few alternative size ear buds which can be swapped and changed to your desired fit. Played around with a few and found the small ones fit best for me. I stress for me. They also have a handy volume control attached to the headphone cable will not bore you with the details but suffice to say volume high volume low. Armed with my Itouch full of music and a few films left the house to weather the daily commute ie a little walk then on to packed bus and then to train station and on to noisy train.
Now here is the bonus which is when I knew these were the best headphones well in ear that I have owned. When I walked out the door and switched on my my itouch I was literally in my own world. I could not hear a thing outside all background noise was cut out. I had rich bass sounds none of this rubbing of wire or tinny sounds which I have read in other reviews (Very misleading please ignore these comments in reviews of this product)...They must have different headphones on !!
These have Crystal clarity with the bass and sound definition which left me speechless. These are superb headphones and for the price as an upgrade to those crap Itouch headphones is a steal. (Apple guys if you are out there sort this out. You give us a visionary product with these crap white earphones it is a disgrace, come on give your product some dignity !. Those little white earphones are iconic and in times past will be looked at with fond memories however one thing will also be remembered they are crap headphones !)
Enough of my rant !
Now I am a guy that likes to switch from music on the bus to watching a film on the train. With the standard Itouch headphones this was impossible because on a packed train to much background noise came thru so I just gave up. Now for the first time with these headphones I am able to watch a film without any interference. Truly a new dawn for my commute ie total background noise blackout experience.
These are truly pound for pound the best in ear headphones on the market at the moment. if you are looking for that inevitable upgrade from your standard headphones for your MP3 etc trust me these are the ones for you.
Please ignore reviews that say anything less than these headphones being exceptional. Unfortunately my style of writing may not win you over but I hope that the general feeling which I am trying to convey comes thru.
For those that do buy these as a result of this review come back and write an honest review (minus stupid comments on opening packaging). Like I say these came this morning and I road tested them this morning and I give them10/10.
Nearly forgot the headphones are really comfortable and stay in my ears which has been a problem with previous in ear headphones I have had in the past. Read a review that said when you push them in and find that spot you know that it is all good baby. (You will understand what I mean when you get these). True test was when I was on a train platform a big boy train came rushing past I did not even hear a sound.
Big point to note you have to be on full alert with these on ie walking around the streets etc could be quite dangerous as you literally cannot hear a thing other then your tunes.
Another little note they come with a nice bog standard pouch. Just stuck all the little etc in there and do not even take the pouch out I will not bore you with the details.
My headphones in true commute style are wrapped around my itouch. No worries in my head that they will break etc the build quality of the headphones leave me confident that I have nothing to fear.
Anyway hope the review has helped you ! Good Luck !
Best headphones I've owned September 11, 2008

Sennheisers quality cannot be denied, it's as simple as that.
After buying my ipod, i bought a set of 'sennheisers' on an auction site at a ridiculously low price, and to this day i reckon they were fakes. They were tinny and fell apart after a month. When i went on to purchase these on Amazon, i had a nagging at the back of my mind on my previous purchase. i had owned other sennheisers previous and decided to plump for the CX500 Earphone.
What a good decision that was!
These are the best headphones i have owned. I am back to the in ear phones as they tend to block out external noise far better that even the expensive noise reduction ones on the market I have tried. The bass is great for the money, and they come with several sizes of ear plugs to allow convenience for all ear sizes(?!) they really are comfortable and look the part too with my black ipod.
would highly recommend these, you wont find a better set of phones for this price!
 Minor gripes but decent sound. August 17, 2008
Personally I find the sound quality of the CX500s very good and they are comfortable headphones with a useful range of accessories. The noise isolation is reasonable for the price, though one byproduct of this is very noticeable "cable rub" noise.
This may seem an unusual complaint (though I've seen it mentioned in a number of other reviews) but the packaging really is appalling. You have to work hard not to slice yourself and the headphones to pieces whilst hacking your way in. I am guessing it is designed this way to make them difficult to return to shops once opened, but it is both a waste of plastic and a real annoyance.
