Customer Review: Updated Review of Sennheiser CX380 Sport Series II
Summary: 4 Stars
i think i had just given a really sad review on anotgher cosuin of this maker. Let me say something really upfront: i have a drumers ear and really can get into the sound when i feel like its a must for me to perform! In this case right off the bat the sound on these can easily match my Technicha noise canceling headphones.
They feel very comfy to wear -- the sound while listenning to metallica is just insane! sound good! i am going to have a field day tomarrow in the GYM and update this review immidiately! i have gone through several set for the gym. 2 factorsi have yet to test: the construction quality and the sweat resisitance. SO FAR I LOVE THE SOUND OUT OF THESE!
Updated Review
These are my 6th pair of gym headsets over 5 year period! Mind you i may be a bit of an audiophile (meaning a hi-fi enthusiast)
and i want to start off by making a simple observation:
Everyone's ears are shaped and tuned differently! everyone listens to audible material differently.
I am just sharing my experience and it may and may not work for everyone.
i have tried the : (in order of usage)
OEM iPhone 3Gs 3G s iPod Stereo Headset 3.5mm jack
Sony MDR-Q55SL Clip-on Headphones (Silver)
Sony MDR-G57G S2 Sports Street Style Headphones with Reflective Ear Piece
BoseŽ In-Ear Headphones
Sennheiser PMX60 Headphones
Audio-TechnicaŽ ATH-ANC7B QuietPoint around-the-ear noise-canceling headphones
Another point i wanted to raise before i go nuts describing these orange audible machines, is about the sound of Portable Music overall:
portable sound goodness is not dictated by your MP3 player or the head piece your listening to!
Its driven by numerous factors some of which include:
1. original sound file (how and when it was ripped or downloaded -- go figure that one MP3 vs AAC vs FLAC vs wav vs ??)
2. Yes the head sets (dido)
3. The quality make of the player itself in reproducing that sound -- great article for
audiophiles can check out [...] )
4. What your ear feels comfortable in!
(Cups, or caps or plastic straps or in-ear buds! (such as these) )
and finally
5. Your typical genre of musical taste!
(didn't see that one coming did you!) Well its true! if your the techno drone junky, than just about anything will work usually since the entire music itself is electronically generate.
You can't go with the same notion if you listen to Where The Light Is:John Mayer Live In Los Angeles"! in its tranquil audio bliss)
So enough gibber-gabber and lets look at these orange beauties!
The Look:
they are sleek, sexy, and very very sporty!
The sound:
I can tell you that ever since i got these i kept listening to all my iPods with Sennheiser CX380 Sport Series! Even at home on my desktop i usually use the Audio-TechnicaŽ ATH-ANC7B QuietPoint around-the-ear noise-canceling headphones but the Sennheiser CX380 Sport Series babies make me want to listen to all my stuff through them
(keep in mind that the in-ear buds typically by design will produce better sound in contrast to cups outside the ear -- but as i observed earlier its a personal choice!
However having used a similar styled Sony MDR-G57G S2 Sports Street Style Headphones with Reflective Ear Piece the Sennheiser CX380 takes the cake on sound! truly deserving sound!
The Sweat Resistance:
So far with the 5 gym sessions, i can tell you it lives up to its claim! it really does work!
and does not fall off like so many others.
Quality Build
Now this is a factor i think i will write about in a few months after heavy usage!
Sadly as experienced with Sennheiser PMX60 Headphones (cup design) broken design in under 6 months, i can only
say that as of now these look to be solid! i hope in about 6 months from now i don't end up buying another pair!
I really really like the sound on these!
Conclusions
If your frustrated of the stock OEM headset (due to sweat, sound, or constant falling off) in the gym or elsewhere,
i would defintely recommend these! Primarily at this stage due to the amazing sound re-production!
The build quality is yet to be tested so watch for my updates (or not) in 6 months time after heavy usage!
