Here is an unboxing video of them:

These earphones are one of my favourite cheap/low-end IEM’s
I really enjoyed listening to these when I bought them, of course they aren’t amazing, but they do great for their price.
I preferred these over the CX400II/CX500’s – they provided the same SQ but with a little less harshness.

Pros:
-Cheap
-Very light
-Good overall SQ for their price point

Cons:
-Bulky earphones
-Don’t isolate that well
-Thin, tangle prone wire
-Lack of accessories vs what Sennheiser provides with their low-end products

For the SQ:
-The lows are present but not overwhelming, nor bloated like they are on the CX500/400II’s
-The mids are present, and are somewhat upfront
-The highs sparkle, and provide that “denon-esk” detail

Overall, these earphones are one of few earphones that I would in fact recommend to people looking for a cheap set.
