4.0 out of 5 stars Love the headphones, would wait for slight price reduction, December 14, 2010
This review is from: Sennheiser CX 880 Noise-Isolating Premium Earbuds (Electronics)
I received a pair of these directly from Sennheiser after sending in a pair of CX400s for some rather severe microphonics issues. While these do still have microphonics issues, it's much less noticeable and isn't deafening when they get bumped. It's also mostly only noticeable where the cord splits for the two buds. I'll cover cost and microphonics later on.

Comfort
I've been wearing these for around two hours now and barely notice them. The silicone earbuds are soft and very comfortable.

Sound Quality
Sound quality will vary for people with each person's choice in music and earbud fit, but this here's my take on things. I love that these headphones provide balanced sound, because I listen to a wide variety of music, which artificially bass heavy headphones will ruin. They provide clear sound across the range of highs and lows and seem to have a good sound stage.

Sound Isolation
These seem to provide slightly more isolation... Read more

Hello-

Thank you for your feedback. For exercise use, we recommend the CX 680i, as it was designed for working out and will minimize microphonics (because it was in fact designed for sports), and is sweat proof with a stay-put fit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, good design, could be better, February 20, 2011

This product and the similar Sennheiser CX 880i Premium Ear-Canal Headphones with Microphone & Smart Remote earbuds have great sound. The 880 has the integrated volume control, and the 880i has the iPhone/iPod compatible mic/volume attachment. (Even though that product is designed for iPhone/iPod, the mic and pause button -- but not the volume buttons -- work with my Blackberry Bold 9700.) There are numerous thoughtful details in this product, and a couple of significant shortcomings which I'll describe. Overall, this is a very excellent 4-star product.

Pros:
The sound is just great. You can get earbuds with better sound, but it won't be cheap. I listen to all kinds of music including many genres of popular music as well as classical, and the sound with all is very smooth. The highs are very open and clean. Some listeners... Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sennheiser CX 880 Noise-Isolating Premium Earbuds (Electronics)
I'm not really a rabid audiophile, so after being very pleased with some Etymotics MC5 buds I bought a few months ago on lightning deal for $50 I realized it can actually be worth spending the extra money on a good set of earbuds and I've been on the hunt for an even better set since. These Sennheisers came up as a recent Amazon lightning deal and I snapped them up. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD595 headphones that I really love (but unfortunately can't use at work due to their open air nature) so I was happy to try out some Sennheiser earbuds.

When I tried the CX 880 out though, I was somewhat disappointed.

First, the cons:
The fit is poor for a set in this price range. Unfortunately, fit is everything with earbuds. There are 3 pairs of sized rubber tips, but they're the same unremarkable crappy jellyfish shaped tips that you'd find on a $30 set of buds. I placed the triple flange tips from my Etymotics on them and that helped a little, but the left earbud... Read more
