Sennheiser CX 80S in-Ear Wired Headphones with in-line One-Button Smart Remote with Microphone Black

1st i would like to thank Amazon for really fast delivery. Got the product in just 1 day with good packaging (safe, secure & fast)

Coming to Sennheiser CX 275s

I first verified its authentity on Sennheiser website before opening earphones.
It took a bit time to find the QR CODE because its at side of the plastic box.
The results were positive. My Sennheiser CX 275s was genuine (original Sennheiser product)

Sennheiser CX 275s
(Looks, comfort & build quality)

This earphones are light, handy and easy to use.
They look premium. Cables may look thin but they are strong enough. The earphones speakers are good looking and well designed.(looks very small though)
Using them for even 10 hours they are very comfortable. You dont feel any pain while wearing them for very long time.

Coming to Sennheiser CX 275s Sound quality

1st thing to know that u need very powerful output (device) to get the best out of them.
If u using them on normal smartphone with default music or video player they still will give you enough clarity and bass. But if you want dynamic sound and thumping bass u need some good music players.
(Pro tip) if your Android is rooted, for u the best music player is Viper4android fx. You can get the app from xda website.(only for rooted Android users, it cannot be used on non rooted device)
For non rooted device i would suggest poweramp, and maven music player available at play store.

Coming to its sound quality
Sennheiser cx 275s sounds crystal clear and opened. Bass is really good and deep. Many reviews say that this earphones are not for bassheads then let me tell you agian if you use good music players like I suggested you will get the deep and tumpig bass you want.
Soundstage is not so wide but not very narrow either.

Let’s talk about mic & accecories

(What do u get inside the box)

(1). Earphones itself, two pairs of extra buds small and large, the earphone itself comes with medium sized buds on.

(2). The carrying pouch. Its nice and soft. You can keep ur earphones inside it easily. It has a thread lock that u need to pull from both sides.
It would be better if it had chain lock in it.(just a suggestion)

(3). There’s a L shaped cable in side the box which you can connect with earphone’s straight cable pin if you have very old device and the default pin not working for ur device.
You don’t need that extra plugin if its connecting with the default straight pin to your device.

The inline mic

This earphones have really good quality microphone in line of the left earphone cable.
You don’t need to hold the mic near your mouth while talking during a phone call. Its perfectly at its place.

Left and right guide.

The earphones L and R text is written in very small print right down to the speaker.
But you don’t need to face that difficulty because fortunately the left side speaker’s cable has the inline mic. Its that easy 🙂

About sound cancellation

If you plug in the earphones in it easily blocks every noise from outside world and lets you enjoy the Sennheiser signature sound. Just plug in and enjoy the detailed music.

(Pros and cons)

3. really easy to use and comfortable. No pain or discomfort while using them for long periods.

Cons:::::::::

1. The only thing in sound that disappoints me is that the mids are a bit thin for me. But you can adjust you equalizer to correct them.

2. Cables are a bit thin and not tangle proof. But they never got Tangled for me yet.

Thanks for reading guys 🙂
Hope this review helps u all 🙂

For those looking for a genuine review & a brief comparison summary between the best three earphones/headphones in the budget segment …Let’s help you to make-up your mind.

The review is for Sennheiser 275 S earphone but items for comparison are:

1.) Sennheiser HD 202 II over the ear headphone ,
2.) Sennheiser CX 275 S In earphone
3.) Sony MDR-XB50AP in ear Extra Bass earphones

Just for an introduction i would like to mention, I am a dire fan for flagship Electronic goods & manages to fulfill my passion for the “Taste of quality” from time to time.

Now let’s begin.. When you start looking for earphones or headphones, Sennheiser is definitely a brand worth to look for and rightly so, The brand has acquired a great reputation of producing some top notch quality gears in its segment .I too ,started my quest to purchase some of the best sounding earphones within reasonable limits of purchasing power & excluding those insanely pricey ones.

Read some very good reviews of the Sennheiser HD 202 II Professional Over-Ear Headphone from my fellow amazonians and bought it.

Found it to be reasonably good but having certain drawbacks( may refer my review of HD202 at amazon) which were not upto my taste.
Next ,Unsettled , I went to purchase these Sennheiiser CX 275 S in earphones and here are my observations:

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION :
×××××××××××××××××××××××××

a.) Looks & feels delicate to hold with its extremely thin wires and if you are casual in handling frequently, then in the long run,its sure to fail.
b.) Wires which are around 1.2 m in expanse are not tangle free and keep getting into random knots each time you get to use it.
c.) Comes with 3 different sized earpieces to snug fit different ear-anatomies and provides decent sound isolation but not the best.
d.) Inconvincing design of the earpiece globes as the bottom tail piece below the earpiece was not large enough to grip with fingers to comfortably fit or adjust the earpieces in the ears and each time you had to twist the spherical globes to snug fit.
e.) Comes with a gold plated L-shaped additional adapter for better fitment to laptops etc
f.) Comes with a small pouch , which for the most part was a useless accessory for me. A case or box would have been more a more elegant option. Squeezing the whole earphone into the li’ll pouch everytime..naah !! feels primitive..! but then its my own two pieces.

SOUND QUALITY & PERFORMANCE:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The sound quality is crisp & clear , with clear mids and crisp pitches, bass was okayish but leaves you craving for more every time you plug it-in to watch some movie or NATGEO documentaries.

The lack of an adequate bass may even get unsettling sometimes.The frequency response as per specs was 17 to 23000 Hz against 4 to 24000 Hz of Sony MDR-XB50AP.
Just to quote Sony’s bass could get really deep & low with its 12mm drivers and neodymium magnets. For purists senneheiser does its job quite honestly but in general as for sony “A little make-up won’t Hurt ” LOL.

Sound quality is maintained till the maximum volume though it felt slightly that the mids succumbed to pitches at the apex.

VERDICT :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

* Lack of a decent bass & extremely fragile design is unacceptable at a price range of 1600 bucks *
For me “Not worth it”.

DETAILS & COMPARISON :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I happened to test the quality & performance of all the 3 renowned Sennheiser HD 202 II over the ear headphone, Sennheiser CX 275 S In earphone & lastly Sony MDR-XB50AP in ear Extra Bass earphones.

BASS :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sony>>Senn.HD 202 > Senn.CX 275S ,

The extra bass at sony may feel out of place at rare instances but never feels Cheap, redundant or unpleasant to the ears. It’s a quality refined timbre bass & not some low quality stuff. HD 202 bass was ok but then it had other issues with sound leaking from the pads and disturbing others.

SOUND QUALITY :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Excellent on all 3 but Sony a bit appealing with its phenomenal immersive bass.

BUILD & DESIGN :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Again Sony>>Senn.HD 202 > Senn.CX 275S .

Sony’s wire were tangle free, earphone pieces felt indestructible, noise isolation was “Ultimate”.

Next was Senn.HD 202 and least by any standards was Senn.CX 275S.The fragile design of the wires around Mic. In senn.CX 275 may itself be a let alone discarding feature for many.

1.) Senn.HD 202 II might be good for gamers and watching from a distance with its long cord if leaking sound to outside world is not an issue.Bass is anytime better than Senn.CX 275 S but not as mesmerising as Sony.Sound quality though is very good,crisp and clear.

2.) Senn.CX 275 S might be good for purists but even with its balanced Highs and mids..Serious lack of bass keeps you longing for more ..especially if you are more into movies,games and documentaries than music.Moreover its extremely fragile & always tangling thin wires is a constant annoying feature.

3.) Sony MDR XB50AP gets the most evident and refined high quality deep bass with crisp high and quality mids.

Its indestructible unique design offers the best noise isolation of all and comes with the most sturdy tangle free wires.

**Do not consider higher bass as an adulteration to pure music.Its a quality bass with frequency response as low as 4 to 24000 Hz.adds a mesmerizing essence to the quality of sound which is absent on other two.Probably like a Super amoled with extra vivid colors that look more punchy & full of life.

Anyways at the end of the day its your call.
keep listening.
