Introduction
The CX 95 headphones are a set of in-ears from Sennheiser and are priced at $120. The headphones have a cord that’s only a few feet long, but also come with an extension to let them reach your front pocket. The short cord length will help you connect to a media player stowed in your lapel pocket or on an arm band. The headphones also have a slightly different form factor, with cord guards that jut away from the ear buds at an angle, creating a small zig-zag. We didn’t notice that it made a significant difference on our comfort levels, but we didn’t like that the headphones would come loose — not fall out, but loosen in their position — fairly easily.
The CX 95s have great audio quality overall. They have a strong bass response, very low levels of distortion, and excellent tracking. Their frequency response was fine, but average, and they didn’t perform well on isolation. If isolation is a big issue for you, there are plenty of other in-ears out there to choose from.
Overall, we thought the CX 95 headphones were a good value at $120. They’re a solid pair of headphones for people who either don’t need a lot of isolation or who don’t want it. The CX 95s are currently available.

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
