I have my little iPod Nano and, until today, I still had my iPod headphones, mainly because I didn’t have the money to purchase better ones. Now the right ear in my iPod headphones is starting to snap, crackle and pop. This means its time to get some new ones and in my case its a lovely pair of Sennheiser CX 300’s.

I took out my Christmas money and forked out £39.99 for these beauty’s expecting superior quality from my upmarket headgear. I have so far tried my headphones in crowded loud public places, a metro and in my own home. They work just like ear plugs and as such I only have to raise the volume to halfway on my Nano in order to get just music and no ambient noise.

They come with 3 padded ear adapter things, but come with the medium ones installed which seem to fit my ear perfectly. I have yet to try these on a plane, at a concert or at a football match but if I have the opportunity; rest assured I will whip them out just to show off that I can hear sweet eff-ayy with them in.

I just have to see how well these headphones last, they come with a two year guarantee which I accidentally threw in the bin… But that does mean that they should last me at least two years because they wouldn’t make a guarantee otherwise, would they?

So far 20 / 27 - The sound quality is tremendous, they fit well and are very comfortable sitting in my ear canal. But until I find out if they have staying power, they will not be getting more than 20 / 27 from me.
