Considering the value these are fine in-ear headphones. The design is slim and classy.
Comfort
They fit well and are delivered with enough fitting options for most people. The comfort is fine, but my ears do start to itch/irritate a little after a few hours. They are small enough for lying on your head without getting too uncomfortable.
Sound
The sound is full and solid, but the soundstage isn't very exciting. It still feels like you really have earphones in. They don't take you away. It's a little bass driven and mids / highs need some tweaking to get it right (personal ofcourse).
Highs become a little sharp when opening them up with the equalizer (iAudio 9).
Generally they are warm sounding earphones.
But i don't have much reference material. The phones is used before were also entry level Sennheisers. And personally i prefered those over this one. (can't remembert the model no.)
Im now upgrading to a Shure SE535, so i'll update this post after i've had a listen to those. Although it's in a total different price range obviously.
Noise Cancellation
This is the part where the CX400-II really shine. You get cut off from the world and all you hear is the music playing. At low volumes you can still here something a little bit, but compared to the other Sennheisers i had before, these really made a difference in this area.
Considering the price, these are very good earphones.
