Toivanen (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews    These headphones are superb; however, BEWARE of all the fakes out there! There are tons and it is very difficult to tell the difference when looking at the physical package. I saw a couple of posts on here that complain about the loud thump when you hit the cord...if this happens, you have fakes. I bought a pair off of eBay (do not buy these off eBay, most if not all are fake) and had some other people that bought from the same seller contact me and inform me that they were fakes. Even worse, when confronted, the seller admitted they were counterfeit and was eventually caught and banned from eBay. With the fakes, every time I exercised and the cord would bump me it was extremely loud and after this happened a couple of times during my first use, I stopped using them while working out (still not knowing they were fakes at this point). When I discovered they were counterfeit, I contacted Sennheiser to find out if Amazon.com was an authorized seller (I was sure Amazon would only deal...

Edlund (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews    For background my headphone collection collection consists of full size Sennheiser HD-580's, the wireless Sennheiser RS-120's, Sennheiser CX-300's canals, and now the CX-500's I've owned the CX300's for 1.5yrs and now have had the CX500's for about 3 weeks. The I liked the Y design of the CX300's cable much better. That configuration allows the right ear bud cable to go behind my neck so when leaning over the cable doesn't get caught on something. You CAN do that with these but the left cable is then bunched up on your shoulder and you loose style points. The new volume slider works well. I never use it. Don't care for it. The sound is good, although I cannot honestly say that I can differentiate the sound difference between my CX300's an the new CX500's on my Sansa E260. All told, unless you know you have an audio device with a SUPERB amplifier to POSSIBLY take advantage of these higher model level phones, the more ergonomic...

Pafundi - See all my reviews    I can't remember the last product that I purchased in which I posted a review about. My Sennheiser CX500's were delivered a few days ago and I felt compelled to post this. If I can get just 1 person to give these a try, I'll be happy. My first set of inner ear headphones were the Ultimate Ears super.fi 3's. I bought these back in January. Ultimately, I learned what I really wanted in an inner ear monitor and the failures of the UE's led me to purchase the Senn CX 500's. Comfort: No comparison here, whatsoever. The UE's were big, clunky, and just never fit right regardless of the attachment I used. They lost their seal constantly even when just sitting on the subway (Inner Ear Monitors MUST keep it's seal or they sound worse than your Apple issued ear buds) The Senn's are SMALL, light weight and just stay in nice and snug regardless of what I'm doing. You forget you are even wearing them. They hold seal but in a much more comfortable way than the UEs. The UEs...
