"Decent headphones..." | 2009-08-12 |

| I've owned these headphones for over a year now, and they're still going strong. The audio is only decent, not great, and I'm no audiophile. Probably better than the standard ipod headphones though. The build quality is very good - I've been pretty rough on them, yet they're still in very good shape. The in-built volume control is a very handy feature, though I've noticed that when put above the minimum setting, it tends to distort the sound with slight hissing in the background. Nothing terrible, but when I have a choice, I'd much rather increase the volume using my mp3 player, and not the headphones, because that doesn't cause any sound distortion. These headphones have a high max sound volume - I can't imagine anyone wanting the sound any louder than its max possible volume. I haven't tested the sound quality at very high volume settings due to not wanting to damage my ears, but I imagine, like the vast majority of other headphones, there are rather sever sound distortions at the upper sound levels. I find these headphones to be very, very comfortable, to the extent that I often forget I'm even wearing them. Overall, I think there are probably better headphones out on the market for the same price range, especially if you care a lot about sound quality, but if you value comfort, and a hardy design, these headphones are for you. |

I had read a lot about these, but when I finally got them I was a little disappointed as they were not that great. Ended up replacing them with a pair of CX300s for airplane trips and PX100s for home use. The latter are way superior to anything I have used with my iPod ever!!!
But I do like the case!!! |

"I love my Sennheiser Ear Buds!" | 2008-08-31 |

I was looking for a cheap, but not too cheap pair of earphones, and stumbled across this gem! These are AWESOME earphones for a small price! I was amazed at the great sound, and they have a super handy volume control on the chord too! Comes in great handy when someone starts talking to me, as my MP3 player tends to be tucked away and locked.
I would definitely recommend these earphones to anyone looking for some good quality sound without emptying the bank! These are great! |

I owned 2 other sennheiser products, excellent. I thought these ear buds will be as good, but they are not. They seriously lack bass. For 9 USD i guess you cannot expect more from them.

"sennheiser mx500 are fakes-beware" | 2008-03-27 |

| My daughter just received her new Sennheiser mx500 earbuds. She is satisfied with the sound, but they are clearly fakes! The cords are two different lengths, the jack has a gold tip, not like is pictured on the Amazon listing, which then came from TigerDirect. They were not in a package, no guarantee, etc. BEWARE FAKES!!!!! |
