Benefits:
---------
+ Top sound, balanced, rich bass
+ Top Design (is but a matter of taste)
+ Thanks to Silicon ear adapters easy to clean
+ Amazon much cheaper than many other retailers (Saturn to 70)
+ Very flexible cable, good bend protection at the listeners
+/- Compared to other earphones, relatively long cable (short side: 106cm; Long Edge: 142cm; cables to branch: 88cm) but could be a little longer, especially the 88cm are in laying the cable partially little tight under clothing , But other handset (eg Sony MDR-E 818 LP) offer here often only about 60cm.
+/- Very sensitive that you can hear quiet background sounds in the music very well
..... (Cons:
........ 1 are also the weaknesses of poor MP3playern va in quiet / quiet songs mercilessly again va noise
........ 2 the music is in some MP3playern can not turn down so much the music partially relatively loud.)
Disadvantages:
----------
- Neck-Chain (= a cable longer than others since; I personally find very disturbing VA allows the listener so do not pack in a winding case because the longer cables does not fit properly)
- No volume control (but still better than cheaper, easily adjustable regulator)
- No winding case (due Neck chain also not be rolled up in normal box)
Remarks:
------------
o cable may be too sensitive because VA bend protection at the plug looks not as effective, but no problems despite frequent operation go so far in 7 weeks also, run, pulling the cable etc. I must say that I have already 5 earphones on his conscience as always, the cable is broken at the plug, because I very often Verleg the cable under the clothes and the cable from the back goes into your pocket and is so heavily burdened. So in short, there'd not be surprised if even in diesm handset cable breaks even though I can not understand why the cable must always be as thin and only 3 or 4 hair thin wires in it are. On the other hand clear is why, the manufacturer will eventually force the buyer every few months to buy a new handset.
o possibly getting used to at first because slight pressure in the ears, however, no longer be felt after a few minutes
o between the silver ring and the black spherical outer part sometimes remain (with the logo) hair hanging, but does not interfere, does not hurt, specifically ichs never felt that I've pulled through the earphones a hair, but I think it might be worth mentioning anyway
General weaknesses of ear-channel earphones - Not for joggers!
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------
- 'Stethoscope effect': beats and scratching on the cable are relatively loud to hear in the ear (like a stethoscope) by laying the cable under your clothes can however reduce the very strong and then barely perceive as long as the music is playing. If the music is heard the noise of course again significantly. But enjoying music disturbs this shortcoming is very limited and I do not really actually only now, noticed in the tests for this review.
- Wind noise: for example, while jogging or walking with the wind there is air turbulence. It creates a kind of whistling sound ('wind whipping') which can be heard very loud because of the ear technology and very disturbing, significantly more than the 'stethoscope effect'.
+/- Screening - risk of accidents: very strong shielding of ambient noise, for me only benefit but who jogs in the city etc. brings so easily in danger because he can not hear warning signals or approaching cars. For Ranger this danger should not exist but I would advise against an ear-channel headphones.
Alternative:
------------
I ordered along with the CX300 also a Sony MDR-E 818 LP (no ear-channel). Actually, just as cheap earphones (costs only 10) for quieter background music, because it is just not ear-channel and therefore does not shield as much outside noise. But I must say the Sony has me really positively surprised, good workmanship and super sound slightly different sound than the CX300 less bass and more open, ie not as intense. Those who want to spend less money I can to Sony MDR-E 818 LP recommend, with small ears can easily fall but possibly because the plugs but are relatively large.
Summary - Conclusion:
------------------------
As I said, I am very satisfied with the earphones, inspite of small problems. If the earphones definitely buy again but only on Amazon, because they are very cheap here and there one can count at most on Amazon quick delivery. For 70 listeners va me would certainly be too expensive, because for me the most listeners do not keep long.
For 37, however, the handset is worth great and definitely their money.
Your benefits they play va in conscious listening pleasure from, they shield unwanted background noise and the move they are very convenient as they are to transport small and well despite the lack of winding case. Even someone who enjoys listening to music in bed can benefit from these phones as they push themselves when is due to the ear technology hardly with the ear on the pillow.
Who is active in sports should look to other earbuds, no ear-channel models.
Very short:
----------
Short the CX300 are enjoying great earphones to realize music for sporty I would not recommend these earphones.
Thanks to the low price at Amazon is also true the price / performance ratio, which is of good cheap earbuds like the Sony MDR-E 818 LP can not beat the P / L.
Nevertheless, every penny of the CX300 is definitely worth it.
