Hi.
I've got a Sony NW-HD5 Atrac3 player.
I only listen to classical music, so there is no need for me to buy any head-/earphones that have too much of bass.
I'm really satisfied with the Sony MDR 931 LP earphones. The sound is warm and very pleasing to my ears.
Connecting the player to my Senheiser HD 595, 600 or 650 is the best way, to listen to music.
But it's a portable device, so I do not want to walk around here in Heidelberg having the HD 650 on.
Until now I've never tried to listen to music using the CX 300.
I've read in some audio magazines here in Germany, that the CX 300 is one of the best earphones ever made. Well... I had to buy some, to experience this for myself.
I'm very disappointed. Maybe my CX 300 are some what we call here "Montagsgerät"... the sound is very crappy. There is a lot of background noise, nearly no bass, sharp highs... I've really plugged it in many ways into my ears... the sound shows always some differences, sometimes nearly good, but it is not that, what I would call really good or even great.
The Sony earphones I've mentioned above, are better... yes, I would say much better...
Has anyone experienced the same? Is there something, that I do wrong using the CX 300?
Thanks for every answer.
