I don't know how good these are yet. I hope they are pretty good. I'm no audiophile or something, but I have heard that this brand is very high quality. I am getting them tommorow. Ill edit this review if I can.

"Decent Earbuds"

When rating headphones, like most products, the rating really should depend on quality over cost. I see these CX-300 earbuds sell on Amazon anywhere from around $20 up $70. At $20 they are a great bargain, at $70 they really don't compete with the competition. Even at $50 there might be better choices. I'd say up to $40 these are worth it.
The primary reason I purchased these earbuds was because when I fly, I had to turn the volume to the max on my standard issue iPod buds. Even at the highest volume when listening on an airplane, I could not hear the dialog in movies, and music was drowned out - not to mention the damage it was causing my ears. The CX-300 eliminated this problem. The rubber seal does a pretty decent job blocking the outside noise. When inserted snugly, I'd say about 80 to 90 percent of the outside noise is blocked, allowing me to watch movies and listen to music on an airplane at about half the volume required on the iPod buds, as well as allowing me to hear far more detail. They are not uncomfortable, but you're not going to forget they're in your ears.
As far as the overall sound quality, it's decent but not great. Definitively superior to the iPod buds, and a bargain if you can pick them up for around $20, but nothing to write home about. For buds, the bass response is pretty good, mid-range is very good, but the high-end is average at best. I also have an earphone amplifier I can plug into my iPod. This helps with the bass, but I still get only mediocre response at the high-end, even with the EQ flatten out on the bottom and the top boosted. That said, they do sound pretty decent, but don't expect them to sound like a good pair of Etymotics or Shures. As other reviewers has noted, the cables are also a little noisy. My recommendation, if you don't need something to block outside noise, and don't want to spend $100 or more on buds, the over-the-ear type headphones generally produce better quality sound. If you need to block that outside noise, they're a good deal at at $40 or less.
"Really nice headphones. A good value (around $18 or so)"

They are reasonably comfortable and deliver pretty good sound. I use them primarily when I'm flying on business, and they definitely deliver good sound. Am I "blown away" by them? No - but they are really nice. Just push them way in and you'll get good sound for the money. If you want really super headphones, then you'll need to spend a lot more.
"A bit disapointing"

Pros: Price and they fit in my hears (smaller adapters).
Cons: Treble exaggerated, bass less than expected, the music sounds somewhat like in a can.
I've just received them. Comparing these headphones with the Koss "The Plug", which are cheaper, they have less bass, although enough, but at higher frequencies the performance is worst and the music seems "canned".
Also they really amplify the noise caused when the cables touch anything.
"Good but failed fast"

Enjoyed the sound quality but they already failed after only 7 months of owning them. The left bud volume is extremely low and I never listened to my music "too loud" or abused them in any way. I'm going to contact Sennheiser and have them fix/replace them but I'm real into my music and I need some more buds right now so I'll have to buy another pair in the mean time.
