Having inside the ear rather fragile, I always avoided-ear. I still tried it once, just to see it was a fad or if its quality reputation was justified. Result: difficult to insert earphones and after 5 minutes of listening, very painful ear, total discomfort and bad. So inconclusive test. But sin is to admit that in recent years the range of conventional headphones decreases visibly. So much choice over, I buy a reasonably priced and labeled "comfort" .And there: the slap !!! Not only do these headphones are forgotten just set up, but the sound is really tip-top. On a good fifteen headphones for music player in this game price is by far the best that I have been given to try! The bass is powerful and largely restored, the very present highs (even if their resitution is a little tight), there is the rigor that mediums who fish a little (too low); but at this level it's more a matter of taste, and given the price and size of the device, we can say that the guys from Sennheiser have worked well. At its lower limit there are almost as good ones of my living room helmet bought yet much more expensive. Some people may be able to find these bass a little too present (although I've seen worse, the CX 200's still well balanced); but I think a small equalizer setting of the player should be enough. For my part, I even could transfer the expansion of its effects (such srs, dolby, true bass ...) and also decrease the volume a bit, result: the battery discharges less bloody fast: that happiness. Apart from that, I have a little trouble understanding some of the comments point out that the earphones fit poorly. For questions comfort, the tips are supplied in 3 sizes and caoutchou is really very thin and very flexible. The first time, the earphones are perfectly adjusted to my ear, they do not do evil and definitely not moving. For one thing against which I could note is that for the best possible sound, you really that headphones are impeccably positioned in the ear, if not just quality drastically. Finally, I have also noted, like other users, if the headphone cable rubs against the fabric can be heard very clearly. However, player slipped into a shirt pocket, the effect was never reproduced themselves (generously wrapped around the cable walkman).
Conclusion: In view of its price, really disappointed by this Sennheiser.
