I ordered the Senneiser CX-300 Earbuds in the hope they would improve on the stock ones that came with my iPhone-4. In short, they dont.
Specifically, I was looking for more bass. Several of the reviews I read mentioned the strength of the bass, and the manufacturers website hyped them as bass driven. Not only didnt they improve on bass, I think the overall sound is generally inferior to the stock earbuds. I did many side-by-side comparisons, tried the 3 different earbuds that came with the CX-300, tried it with the iPod bass-boost both on and off, made sure the jack was fully inserted, etc. It just didnt matter the stock earbuds sounded better.
I know these arent expensive, but if youre looking for something to improve on the stock earbuds, these arent it.
