Sound QualityTour & Design
They look good, but they don’t appear to be all that durable, like most in-ears.
Product Overview
Speakers
The Sennheiser CX 980s are a set of nice-looking in-ears. The ear buds feature a little bend in their neck, at the bottom of which is a hard rubber cord guard.
Cable
Further down the cord is an in-line volume control.
And the headphones culminate in a somewhat thick plug. The thickness is to allow the tip of the plug to swivel.
In the Box
In the box you’ll find a few sleeves, some foam nozzle guards, a cleaning tool, a pouch, a cord wrap, an airplane adapter, and a shirt clip.
Durability (6.65)
The CX 980s seem to be decently durable for a set of in-ears.
Aesthetics (7.00)
In-ears don’t really have enough surface area to do something aesthetically pleasing. This being said, the CX 980s look good for the small bits of plastic they are. We like their overall design. You won’t be embarrassed with these things dangling between your tragi.

$99.954Sennheiser 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
