Reviews for Sennheiser CX 890i In-Ear Headphones

Bought these having read some reviews that were extremely good regarding build and sound quality. I thought that buying the brand was a bit of a guarantee of quality too. How wrong can you be?! There's no doubting the build quality, though I find the phone control to be a bit heavy and consequently pulls slightly on the ear buds. The sound is just awful, no matter what settings I use on the iPhone's equaliser, the sound is just thin and 'tinny', harsh on the senses, painful in fact. My previous in ear head phones were Sony and I've had them years, I fancied a change, a relatively painful mistake. Thankfully I still have them so the Sennheisers will be confined to the 'unused drawer' while I luxuriate in the blissfully mellow, full and rich sound of the Sony's...
