Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating Ear-canal Phones, Black

Product Information

If worn casually the light weight wires are comfortable and I don’t notice them, but when working out the long J-wire tends to fly about and get caught and pull on the speaker for the right side.

Even if the curve favors the left side by 20dB, as long as the curve is a gradual slope, it'll be less jarring than a line zig-zagging between both channels with +/- 10dBit's preferrable to one that zig-zags from 10dB heavier on the left to 10dB heavier on the right. The only twist on the formula is that the cord is asymmetrical, meaning the length of cord running from the neck split to the left ear bud is far shorter than the length running to the right. The isolation is superb, and coming from a person who takes a clankity bus every day to school, that means something. The short answer: distortion refers to any difference between the shape of the soundwave entering your headphones and what makes it to your ear. I lived all the audiophile fever in the late 80’s and 90’s, had many equipments and tested all the gear that I could, from entry-level to high-end.After a lot of struggle to place the phones in my ear canal, things were looking (sounding) a lot better. It screws in, it screws out; it has just enough torque for most jobs, and it's compact, convenient and comfortable to use.

This is partially because they create a good seal with the ear and partially because they're small and right next to your ear drum, so they don't have to be very loud.

Gain full control over all DIY screw driving tasks with infinitely variable speed control to perfectly match the pace of each and every job. If you don't put it behind your neck, it hangs on the left ear and swings back and forth as you walk. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you value isolation, it's worth the extra investment, but otherwise we'd recommend the CX 300-IIs. They have a good cord guard, which means the internal wires won't sever against the buds should you recklessly shove the headphones into your pocket for a while.
