Introduction
The Sennheiser CX 300-II headphones are an entry-level set of in-ears. They don’t have much to differentiate them from other in-ears aesthetically, but they are a better than average value.
The CX 300-II did well on our sound quality tests. They have a good frequency response with strong bass, low distortion, and even tracking.
Most in-ears tend to have excellent isolation, but the CX 300-IIs are just average in this regard. They do have a good max volume and leakage control, however.
We thought the CX 300-IIs were comfortable for a set of in-ears. Their sleeves were a bit thin, so they didn’t put much pressure on the insides of our ears.

$65.633Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
