Sennheiser MX 500

I have used a lot of earphones recently and although they seemed good at the time, since I have upgraded to the MX-500s I realise now that these are the best I have had in a long time.

They are used with my iPod and whilst some people seem to think that the iPod has inferior sound quality I am very impressed with the sound they produce. I am not an audiophile by any means but I am fussy about the frequencies I like. I also have a varied selection of music styles on my player (electronica, jazz, classical) and none of the tracks I have heard so far sound bad through these earphones.

Although I rated the price at 8/10 I got mine at a very cheap price on Ebay so it may be worth checking on there to see if you can get a good deal.

I find them very comfortable and they don't fall out of my ears like a lot of in the ear earphones have done in the past.

Highly recommended

An audiophile will appreciate the Sennheiser MX 500 a lot. An enthusiast of effects and generally persons who are listening with bass boost systems and big equalizer distortions will not appreciate them. I have a 3 times more expensive Sennheisers but MX500's outmatch them in tonality!

Got the Sennheiser MX 500 to replace my brilliant i river (Sennheiser MX350s) headphones after they finally gave up. Started rattling with the bass which was no good as I am a techno fan.

The 500s cost £15 from Argos but were not up to the standard that I expected. Originally thought that it was because of the shop, I hate Argos!

The sound quality was a bit tinny which meant that many tracks were not as good as before, however the rock tracks and standard tracks sound good just not those with a lot of bass.

The build quality has been excellent as they are showing no sign of wear and tear despite the abuse they endure. I expect all my products to last.

I would recommend these headphones to anybody who listens to 'ordinary' music but not those who like their bass

The Sennheiser MX 500 are just headphones, and they sound shocking, but they do look good. Bose are better though!
