Introduction The easiest way to explain the Sennheiser CX-150's is that they do what you can reasonably expect. You can't really expect much from a pair of sub-50 dollar IEM's, and frankly, I...

There aren't very many decent headphones for under $100, and compared to the better <$100 headphones those are not very good, but for $10 that's pretty amazing.

You can't go wrong with $10!
post #4 of 82/11/11 at 8:01pmDon't drink coffee for the week and you've lost no money :P. I'd say that's a great bargain.
post #5 of 82/11/11 at 10:03pmYea for 10 bucks it sure beats those generic Creative etc smallish round in-ear button formed IEMs especially if you like bass. :p It does seem based on FR curve over at headphone.com that highs are veiled/rolled-off quite a bit so you may probably try boost those a little on EQ if possible.

Quote:Because they don't cost $100 brand new.
With that said, I would've picked it up at $10 also. :)

10dollars is like a dinner. Just buy a lunchable and you have xb300s to listen to while eating your cracker sandwiches!
