They lighter, cheaper and more comfortable than the E2s, but the cord is much shorter and thinner. I'd use these if you have a problem with expensive things that disappear. These earbuds are very comparable to my Shure E2s. I give the E2 the edge for sound quality, but not by a large margin.
I'll order another pair, because you just don't know when you'll need another headset, if the dog eats it.I would give it 5 stars, but don't know how long the rubber will last around the wires, unlike the Sony set I had a while back, which didn't last that long.Ray The silicon really helped. I could put my finger and push then in a little deeper into my ear and hear the bass a lot better. Also, the ear buds just have the wire running into them, with no plastic protection, but there is extra rubber up to the ear buds. Coming from a Vmode headset, which the new puppy just chewed up the day I got the sennheiser set.
But all in all, after 2 days, every thing seem to be good with them. I decided to use some silicon ear buds instead of the cheap thin rubber ones that came with the headphones, and that made all the difference in the world. So there is a God. Just got these yesterday. When I first shoved them into my ear, I could tell that they weren't as good with my usual mp3 songs that I listen to.
I think the bass bump is better with these, compared to the old ones.OK, they have the, one side longer than the other side, which for me doesn't work.
I can hear a distinct difference in the richness and 'warmth' of these earbuds since I first started using them. I use the pink noise, but any will do. It really works.The thing that seems to disappoint the people who are dissatisfied with Sennheiser products is the bass isn't BOOMing when their listening to their music.which is fine, but a proper bass response won't boom like you hear in those cars with their subwoofers blasting or that is commonly hyped in some musical styles. [.].
They are worth it if great sounding music is important to you. If you're an audiophile on a budget, and if you're considering spending $[.]. Sennheiser has an excellent frequency response across the 20-20k range +/- as does Klipsch (merely my opinion).If you're looking for some more surreal boom in that bass, checkout Sony MDR EX75, or some v-moda models. The diaphragm needs to 'burn in' for 50+ hours. Some say more, some say less, others say the burn-in process never ends, and still others say it doesn't make any difference. They sound amazing.If you have a return policy anyway, why notjust burn them in for a few days. Set the file to repeat and let it run through the earbuds each night or while you sleep.
on earbuds, that's probably who you are, get these, burn them in, and enjoy. If you end up getting these earbuds, they will sound a little 'tinny' at first. After the first 20 hours the tin had gone, and by 100 hours, the bass filled out. It should have deep resonance, but be a tight sound.
you just have to use the right size rubber plug for your ear and you are good to go. As for sound quality, it sounds great. I have had a pair of these for almost four years now and have been using it almost everyday and its still intact. Sennheiser products are known for their longevity and quality. i still have yet to hear a pair of in-ear headphones that sound better (at least to my ears).
It isn't mentioned in the product description, but these headphones are asymmetrical. The shorter ear bud cord keeps pulling out, while the longer ear bud cord dangles and gets caught on everything. Be warned. So annoying.
