I bought a Sony Walkman a few years back and for some reason whatever earphones that came with any CD or MP3 player I have ever bought never are able to sit in my ears.
I bought these headphones for myself near Christmas and for the past 7 months I haven't had a single complaint about them. They fit perfectly in my ear because of the changeable ear plugs and the sound quality is fantastic as you aren't losing any volume. They don't fall out at all unlike others even when running or cycling.
Well worth the money!

Having had them for about 3 months now I love them, but it wasn't a case of love at first listen because as a lot of reviewers on here have mentioned, like other inner earphones, they pick up a lot of noise that you wouldn't notice with conventional in ear phones. When I first put them in they sounded great, but the first time I walked to work in them, I thought they were a disaster, because they transmit the sound of your breathing, footsteps and the cord brushing against your clothes straight into your ears, and it seemed they were fatally flawed for this reason.
*BUT* within a few days your brain stops taking in the stuff it doesn't want to hear, and all you notice is the music, which is as good as you'll hear from a set of earphones not costing silly money.
The other thing that you have to get used to is getting a proper seal when you put them in your ears, because if you don't, they sound pretty brash and tinny. This is a bit tricky at first, but you soon get used to it and whereas I had to fiddle around for ages when I first got them to make them sound as they should, I can just pop them in my ears now and get the desired results straightaway. Once in properly, the CX300s reward with a rich and deep sound that conveys a lot of detail, and as they shut out so much extraneous noise, really allow you to lose yourself in your music - so much so that you need to make an extra effort to look out for traffic and muggers as it's very easy to lose track of what's happening in the outside world.
A great upgrade to replace the cheapo 'phones that come with most if not all personal audio devices
Great headphones (although they're not for everone) October 11, 2007

These are the best headphones I have ever owned and at the current price I have no hesitation in giving them five stars.
They fit right into your ear canal and are very comfortable to wear. The rubber bit that goes inside your ear is made from soft rubber and actually takes the shape of the inside of your ear so you can't really feel them whilst they are in.
They are a bit strange to wear at first. You know you are wearing them properly when you get the same sensation as when your ears are all blocked up (to simulate the effect just stick your fingers in your ears).
The sound is crystal clear with a thumping bass sound and everything I've heard through them so far sounds as if I'm hearing it again for the first time as I can hear things I never noticed before.
Not only that but I'm now also listening to my music at a lower volume level than I was before (which can only be a good thing).
I mainly use mine for the commute to work and the final plus point is that because of the way these headphones block up your ears the noises you would normally still hear whilst wearing other headphones (such as the noise of a bus engine or other passengers talking) is now barely noticable.
However these headphones are not for everyone...
You see, because these headphones totally block your ears it means you can hear everything that goes on inside your head that you wouldn't normally hear.
So if you are wearing these headphones and decide to eat or hum along to the music then the music will suddenly be drowned out by the racket you are now making inside your own head (to simulate stick your fingers in your ear and eat or hum).
As I said above I use mine for the commute to work so I'm sitting down or standing still for most of the time. I've noticed though that whilst walking (or running for the bus) you can hear the dull thumping noise of your feet hitting the pavement passing up through your body up to your head.
As I don't exercise I can't say for sure but I can only imagine that the constant "thump, thump, thump" sound as you went for a jog would really distract you from enjoying your music (if you want to simulate what I am talking about then again stick your fingers in your ears and jog on the spot).
So it's still five stars from me as I do none of the above and they sound amazing but if you like to eat, hum along to the music or go for a jog whilst listening to your headphones I would probably avoid them.

Bought this set on Tuesday, delivered Friday. Absolutely brilliant! Mr Parkin York
The best bargain I have purchased. This TV (Hannspree) looks and sounds better then the well known brands, but at half the price £299. Thanks!
