Hello.
 
I am choosing a earphone for my husband as a gift, a small one because he just lost his.......
 
There are currently 3 that i am interested in and i am just wondering if anyone can give me some advices...
 
1)

[size=1.7em] Sennheiser CX 500-B In-Ear Headphone[/size]

 
2)

[size=1.7em] Sennheiser CX380 Sport Series II Noise Isolating Earphones[/size]

 
 
3)

[size=1.7em] Sennheiser MM50 iP Earbud Headset (iPhone Compatible)[/size]

 
 
I only look into Sennheiser because my husband loves Sennheiser!!
 
If there is any other series that you think is better than the above 3, please let me know!!
 
I am thinking about 0-40 dollars on this gift. 
 
 
thanks

surprise him with a sennheiser ie8.  he would LOVE you for it.  a little over your budget though.  more than a little.

I wouldn't recommend the cx500, it's an outdated design, the mm50 looks to be from the same era. If he loves sennheiser go for a newer design, some of them look quite good nowadays.
Maybe consider:

I can't comment on the cx380 but it shouldn't be too bad. Has he had sennheiser iem's before, they generally present a sound signature that is quite bassy, which to me sounds just plain wrong with certian music types. What music does he listen to? Does he want a microphone? Do a search for something like "sennheiser cx review" in this forum, it should bring up a few results.
 
As for ie8's yes, i'm sure they're good but they're five times the budget, not even close to fitting the criteria.
