Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lame product and terrible quality.

In the past, I had been handed a CX300, and I kept it for a full seven years. I was pleasantly astonished by how good they sounded at first because I had never imagined that such compact headphones could produce such high-quality audio. I misplaced them at the end of 2022; I forgot them on the plane. I subsequently replaced them with a similar pair of headphones. Intent on checking out this particular brand. He assumed that, since it cost more, they would have more room to surprise him, but he was wrong. When the salesperson at the store boasted that they have excellent sound detail, I asked whether she meant that they transmit high frequencies well. A resounding "YES" was their response to my query. In general, I listened to them and was very unpleasantly surprised. The highs are so blaring that it feels like I'm hearing crackles and rustlings in my own head, while the lows are barely audible. There's no choice but to go out and get a new set of headphones; unfortunately, it looks like I'll be stuck with the same brand (Syntheiser), albeit the older and cheaper CX 300/CX 300II type. Do not buy before listening, in my opinion.

Pros
  • Packaging, presentation, and quality are all uniformly high. everything but the sound, which is obviously crucial.
Cons
  • Inadequate acoustics; the high-frequency rustling and crackling is so distracting that it prevents the listener from concentrating on anything else. To me, the cheapest plugs perform similarly at low frequencies.
