Review on Headphones Sennheiser CX 300-II, black by Stanisaw Lipowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

In general, a few years ago I was disappointed in vacuum headphones, but recently I took 1520 lumia, which comes with a WH-208 headset. There, 4 pairs of ear pads were attached to this standard (! ) Headset, and just the one between small and medium came up to me. It came up like a glove, for a long time I couldn’t get enough, only there was nothing to flip through the music: I used to use Nokia BH-214 for this (Bluetooth transmitter with a 3.5 socket and remote control), and the headset is with a microphone, so through BH-214 in songs Roughly speaking, all frequencies above and below the voice (0.3-3 KHz, it seems) were distorted beyond recognition or simply disappeared. I decided that I needed something like this WH-208, only without a microphone, that is, not a headset, but headphones. I looked, read, decided to take this miracle without tests. Either I'm deaf, or I've been lucky all my life with acoustics (standard Nokia-ears, KOSSs . ), or the previous speakers pretend to be music lovers . but the sound is subjectively no better than WH-208 and in general , which I have heard before, on a variety of tracks, but the ears are already aching from the bad size of the ear pads and the strangely scratchy edges. The packaging can only be opened by breaking (cutting) it, so you won’t be able to ask to measure it before buying it, I think it’s also possible to return it. Otherwise, I would have returned it, but I haven’t decided yet whether to remove / give it to someone or still suffer myself for now. Conclusion - do not read Soviet newspapers before dinner . and you need to choose headphones only for yourself, not according to reviews and pictures, but to look for an opportunity to try them on, listen more and more differently before buying. And you can harm your health in more traditional ways - smoking, alcohol .

Pros
  • It would be strange if the leading firm's bestseller were bad. It is difficult to buy low-quality headphones for 1.5k. These headphones are not bad. Some of the little things in them are even especially good. But I ran into a problem in the main. With all the negativity, the plug just pleased. Margin of safety, of course, I can’t guess, but it looks good, and there is a beautiful emblem of a two-year warranty on the box. Pouch with company logo. Fashionable, stylish, youthful!
Cons
  • Nozzles. Included are 3 sizes of ear cushions (rubber endings, those same vacuum "plugs"). With the same success, they could invest one, three is very little. By default, the average size is dressed, the smaller one is just an excuse for picking, spitting, they are significantly smaller in diameter than the earpiece itself, and therefore it simply does not fit into the ear all the way. A larger size is for rare people who probably have a head that is a third larger than mine, or simply those who have been hammering their ear canals with the same products for many years. For one and a half kilorubles, they could throw at least 10 different pairs of rubber bands there, at least instead of their bag. I think it's just bullying. In sum, their vaunted "Noise Isolation" for me is just the effect of "stuffed ears", this can be achieved for free. The wire. In the specifications on the . Market, it is listed as "asymmetric". That is, the left ear is like an ear, and for the right, the wire is somewhat longer in order to lead it also on the left side around the neck and wrap it around, bring it out to the right. Why they do this at all, I can’t imagine, probably stupid for now, but for some reason so many do it. But I remember 6-7 years ago, in standard ears for Nokia 5700, at least it was done well - the right wire was enough to go under the shirt collar, full length under the collar, and out to the ear from the right end of the collar. Here, the right wire is 25 cm longer than the left one. This is ridiculous, neither fish nor meat. I would be fine with a difference of about 40, or just symmetry. "Enhanced Bass" is printed on the box in silver letters. I did not hear anything new, despite the fact that on speakers with a simple subwoofer, the sound of the same files is still more interesting. But for the first time in my life I heard other "basses". They occur when the wiring hits the elements of clothing. Any touch of the wire with your finger is also carefully transferred to your ears with wonderful low-frequency measured blows.
