Sennheiser CX 200 Street II In-Ear Headphones (1.2 m cable length, Earadapterset S / M / L) black / gray (Electronics)

Customer Review

I have the Sennheiser CX 200 Street II bought the end of October, when I had to EP 630 return plug on Amazon due to a cable break on (not angled) my old Creative. For six months, he has done 6G 160GB faithful service in almost daily use in combination with an iPod Classic.
For sound quality and comfort I probably do not need many words get rid of this is apparent in the many other positive reviews. The admittedly really not exactly quiet cable noise can be reduced to a minimum through the passage of the cable under eg. The jacket, the remaining processing is top.

Unfortunately showed itself in the past 4 weeks and over again temporarily pause in music, especially while walking and especially climbing stairs. This occurred whenever vertically a slight pressure on the angled plug was exercised from above. In most cases, this was remedied by briskly upward bending of the perpendicular to the actual plug protruding part of the connector for the next half an hour, but a bad feeling behind all such actions.
The misfire worsened but more and more and the above-described bending the connector showed less and less effect, and one morning worked the right earphone finally no longer. All attempts to bend the plug in any direction, helped nothing. The headphones went a few days ago back to Amazon, the purchase price was refunded to me (at this point once again kudos to the Amazon service).

+ Very good sound quality
+ High wearing comfort
+ Angled connector (useful for large players like the iPod Classic)
+ Rubberised cable

- Cable break after 6 months
- Cable noise at full cable management
- Optical & tactile "cheap" processing of the plug
- Ear cushions are dust magnets, therefore occasional (cautious) Cleaning needed
