- The lowest-priced earbuds in the Sennheiser range, these units are often recommended as an upgrade to the standard earphones included with cellphones and MP3 players. They use a standard 3.5mm connector, so as to ensure maximum compatibility with the majority of personal audio devices, and include a number of different-sized ear cushions to ensure a snug fit in the user's ear. Forming a tight seal in the ear canal not only helps hold the earphones in place, but also helps block out external noise, which in turn requires less volume, helping to protect your hearing.
- The 500 units are the next models up from the CX-300. They include all the same features as the 300s, with a few additional upgrades. Due to their small size, earphones have a tendency to emphasize treble frequencies. The 500s utilize an uprated micro-driver, which gives a flatter frequency response across the full bandwidth, resulting in a clearer tone, which represents all frequencies as close to equally as possible. There is also an inline volume control for adjusting the sound level without removing your player from your pocket.
- The CX 95 models are technically referred to as CanalPhones, meaning their driver is fitted on the end of a 5-10mm long stalk that protrudes into the user's ear. Placing the sound closer to the ear means more noise will be blocked and the speaker can run at a lower volume. Not only is this safer for your eardrums, but it means the earphones require less power to operate, preserving battery power.
- The 880 models are the high end of Sennheiser's earbud range. They are in a "CanalPhone" style, much like the CX95s, but they use dual-hardness silicon ear adapters, measured and tested to ensure the tightest fit possible, while preserving the acoustic qualities of the earphone. A set of small plastic guards fit over the diaphragms to protect them from environmental damage, ensuring the long life of the earphones.
