Title: Not impressed compared to the old MX400
Review: Bought these as a potential replacement for the MX400, which I love but are now discontinued. I don't find the sound quality to be nearly as good as the MX400, which had wonderful detail in the bass and were smooth over most of the spectrum. By comparison, the bass on the CX300 is weak, indistinct and underdamped, and the highs aren't crisp. The sound quality also varies as the CX300 is **VERY** sensitive to exactly how they are positioned in the ear.Note the cord design with a shorter cord for the left side than the right. Equal lengths have the advantage that they divide any pulling stress equally between the ear. But with the CX300 design a small tug pulls them out of my left ear every time.On the plus side, they're quite comfortable in my ear and I can wear them for long stretches without discomfort.They were cheap enough that I don't regret my purchase too much. Guess I'll have to keep looking for good, not-too-expensive earphones.
Is the review positive or negative?
