I just got the CX300 and it looks awfully a lot like the Apple In-ears I have. I would compare the two but I cant find the them....

wow they certainly do not look like the Apple In-Ears

I'm curious about something. I recall I read somewhere here that the CX-300's scored 20 points higher than the Creative IEMs, 60 to 40. Is that out of 100? 60's not a very flattering score... then again, considering the calibre of equipment they probably deal with regularly, it's understandable.

w00t!

I just scored a pair for $40 from Amazon. It's wierd because they have a few different items for the CX300's from the silver and black colors to this one with no pic.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I wonder if Future Sonics made these for Sennheiser?

The Sennheiser IE3 was the Future Sonics EM3. The Sennheiser Evolution 300 wireless system is now packaged with a pair of EM3's. Their collaboration seems to be growing.

The background of Future Sonics founder Marty Garcia makes for an interesting read:

Congrats! Looks like you got lucky, they're already back to $69.99.

When you take off the ear pieces, they look pretty much identical. Apple just has a sleeker shell where the CX300, MD33, and EP-630 has a rounder shell.

 

[MadDog5145]

I also got the EP-630 ($30+shipping) and after initial impressions, I don't hear any appreciable differences. After some more use with these two, I will have a more conclusive analysis. Also I hope to find my Apple in-ears.....


FWIW,
EP-630: Y-cord with straight plug
CX300: J- cord with L plug

UPS just delivered my cx300 but i can't get home yet. 5 more hours of waiting. ARghhhh such agony!

Maddog, I assure you the CX300s are not the same as the Apples. My sister got her hands on some Apple's and those things have a sibilant high end with no bass whatsoever. These Sennheisers have amazing bass, with a very clean mid and high end.

I can't believe how nice these CX300 sound compared to my ER-6.

I picked up a second pair so now my portable DVD player and MP3 player have their own headphones

(too many times I have gotten on the train in the morning to find out I left my headphones on the MP3 player going to bed.

..Doh!!!!)

Are you sure you are getting a proper seal? The stock ear pieces will not provide a good fit and seal. I used the ear pieces from my EX71 and the In-ears became vastly superior compared to the EX71.

Hi MadDog, I've the EP630 and apple in-ears. They are very different. EP630's mids are stronger. If the CX300 is the same as a EP630, then they will be different from apple in-ears.

I'm eagerly waiting for your comparison between EP630 and CX300.
