Recommended, good value for quality

For the price, I'd expect them to last longer. The sound is ok, but not what I've come to expect from Sennheiser, and I've just lost sound in the right ear after owning them from May-Sept. No visible damage, just crapped out. Not worth it :(

Earbuds keep on slipping over, poor quality cable, headphone jack also easily fell off, mediocre sound quality for its price. If you want to waste your time playing detective to look for your missing earbuds and also waste money to buy horrendously overpriced spare buds from Sennheiser, this is the...

I actually really enjoyed these little IEMs, they have a nice balanced sound to my ears - maybe a bit bassy and lacking detail, but nonetheless a pleasant sound which delivers music to your ears.

Cost; General sound signature

Lacking detail; but at this price point waht do you expect

Very fantastic quality with nice big drivers that are able to produce a noticeable bass; The sound is very crisp and clear, and probably the best in ear headphones you can get for you money; They seal very nice, and the range on these things is incredible

Not durable at all; This is probably my fourth pair of them because about every 5-6 months they rip and break; I'm about to order my 5th pair under warranty because I have them wrapped in tape and are about to stop working soon

An enjoyable set of earphones that offer comfort and above average listening experience while also providing that fashionable appearance that gives you some swag.

Very comfortable Flat frequency response drivers Punchy bass Nearly flat cables that do not tangle Very light weight In line controller is well built Good design material Physical appearance is much better

Vented design does not allow for complete isolation

The Sennheiser CX 5.00 earphones replace the CX500s, which have been around for years – and yes, the two bear very pretty similar. Style-wise, they're totally different. A bit more showier, the CX 5.00 definitely deliver a more confident design than Sennheiser's older offerings.

Large-scale sound; Rich; smooth tone; More striking than older designs

Non-removable cable; More ear-charming than strictly accurate

Stylish and great sounding, a great pair for travelling and on the go at an adequate pricepoint.

Excellent for its price. Untangle issue, no issue. Good sound.

I purchased these after accidentally putting my last decent set of earphones through the washing machine. Initially these were meant as a temporary fix, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and fit.
