User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Great Sound, Short Lifetime
I was very happy with these when I first received them. They sound beautiful, the mic is great, they fit well and comfortably. However, within a couple hours of opening the case, the right channel started outputting sound at about 20% of the volume. I thought this was strange, and after testing on other devices, assumed this was a defective product. I returned it and asked for a replacement (hassle free, thank you Amazon), and received another.
The new pair arrived the next day. Sounded just as good, etc, etc. Less then 2 weeks later, the same problem occurred. I always treated these carefully, rarely removed them from the office, never stuffed them in a pocket or anything similar. Reading additional reviews has led me to believe this is common issue with this headset. Despite the excellent sound and isolation, $80 for a 2 week headphone is a bit steep.
Look elsewhere for your in ear headset needs. Sadly, I haven’t found another comparable pair yet.
5 Stars Excellent Earphones for the iPhone
I’ve been using the earphones for about a month now. At first, I had trouble getting them to fit in my ears just right and how they felt in my ears. I had to try the different sizes of the pads included but finally decided on the mediums.
As far as the sound quality, like what I a have found with other Sennheiser products (this is my 5th set of earbuds or earphones going back to my days in radio 20 years ago), the more you use them the better they sound. At first, the sound was a lacking on base and the treble was not quite right. The more they were used and I suppose the speakers got broken in, they seem to sound better. They definetly sound better than the Apple earbuds that came with my 1st generation iPhone.
It took a little getting used to the earbud layout having the cord go behind my neck. At times, the cord between the earbuds is a little short and if I turn my head and the microphone/clicker snags on something, one of the earbuds will come out but it hasn’t been too big of an issue. I went on a 45 minute run with them recently and had no problem with the earbuds staying in place.
I wish the cord guards were a little longer but so far the earbuds seem to be fairly durable. I typically carry them in my pocket when they are not in use. The cord doesn’t seem to get as tangled up as the Apple earbuds seem to.
Overall I am very satisifed with these earbuds. They were a great replacement to my iPhone earbuds…
5 Stars Nice headphones for iPhone
They sound good, and the little clicky thingy works exactly like on Apple’s. The microphone works fine indoors, people who talk to me have no problem hearing me. I have no idea how it sounds outdoors though. For folks whining about the bass reproduction, you need to fit them right with a good seal in the ear. Once you do that, they reproduce the sound the way it really sounds. Which isn’t how people seem to like to listen to music nowdays, with thumping bass and such, but these give me the same kind of sound that my expensive studio headphones give me, so if you don’t like studio-quality sound reproduction the problem is you, not these headphones.
2 Stars Good Sound/Poor Microphone Quality
The sound quality for calls and music was good. They fit well and it was a great experience until I used it to make calls. The microphone produced skips in the conversation, and a lot of background noise. This was especially bad when in a vehicle. I tried several different ways of running the cords, clipping the Microphone at different locations. None of this improved the quaility of the Microphone. The Microphone didn’t perform as well as the one that comes with the iPhone.
3 Stars OK earphones
These are good, but not great ear phones. The button on the microphone does not properly interact with my iPhone. They have a decent sound. In retrospect I would have gone with the Apple unit.
