Sennheiser CXC 700
Previous: Page 1
Tour & DesignNext: Page 3
IsolationSound Quality
Heavy on the bass and 7-9kHz ranges.
Frequency Response (7.95)
For the most part, the Sennheiser CXC 700s manage to stay relatively within our ideal limits, but there are a few anomalies that are worth mentioning. For instance, the 0-350Hz range (the bassiest sounds, synths, and kick drum attack) is dramatically overemphasized, as well as the 7-9kHz range (where you’d find most of your sibilants and cymbal sounds) will sound a lot louder than the rest of your music. Not ideal for audiophiles, but some people like emphasis in these ranges.

Distortion (6.17)
There was a <1% general distortion level, culminating in a low total sound pressure level. This should be inaudible to all of our readers, unless you are a Head and Torso Simulator robot.

Tracking (10.46)
The tracking response for the Sennheiser CXC 700s was mostly even, save for two semi-audible shifts at the lowest and highest ranges. Most users will not hear it.

$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
