CX 500 G4ME is exactly the same as CX 500 just with the chrome look. They initially also tried to sell it for slightly more than the CX 500 which is rediculous.
Sound is good. The included accessories are great for the price. Very nice pouch, some rubber plastic thing to store your earpieces in, clip and plenty of different tips.
I really really like the volume control. It's very small and might be difficult for some big thumbs to control but I have no problem adjusting the volume.
Big minus for the cable, though. It transmits every collision with the cable into your ear which can be very annoying if you don't place the cable under your shirt or fix it with the clip. No use taking the CX 500 on the treadmill!
The only in-ear I can compare it to is the CX 400 which I had before and is inferior on all levels! I have ordered the Phonak Audéo today but I doubt you'll want to wait as long.
I haven't noticed any hiss after burn-in at all but it lacks transparency, imo. However, I'm no expert and I only listen to low volumes so you might check on some audiophile reviews. Personally, I'd say the Senns are slightly too low-tuned for my taste but sound great with enabled BBE by Cowon.
If you're interested, my CX 500 G4ME is still in perfect condition, complete with original packaging. I ripped my eardrum open shortly after my purchase and I haven't used an IEM since. If you're interested, PM me and I'll send you some pics. However, you can get them very cheap now in new condition.
