Cable Connectivity     (3.30)

It is exactly 4 feet and 9/16 of an inch to go from the plug's cord guard to the left ear bud's cord guard. This is average for a set of in-ears. It'll reach your front pocket with some slack, unless you are of a formiddible height.

Portability     (8.00)

In-ear headphones are portable by design. They're mostly cable, which is a thin gauge, with little plastic bits on one end and a small plug on the other. The CX 300-IIs are of average portability for in-ears. They don't come with a case or anything to help you store them when you're done listening, but they are small enough to just shove in a pocket.

Maintenance     (2.00)

In-ears typically don't give users great access to their inner workings. The CX 300-IIs are in this boat. The only thing you can do to clean or maintain the headphones is to remove the sleeves for cleaning. Some in-ears come with cleaning tools, but the CX 300-IIs trust that you can provide such things.

Battery Dependency
The CX 300-IIs do not require batteries to work. This is a marvelous thing because batteries are annoying and dumb.
