Ear-canal headphones from Sennheiser promises way more than other in-earphones, but does it deliver?

Good Sound, Good Bass, Very Comfortable, Designed for use with mobile phones/MP3 players.

Very Pricey.

Design

The Sennheiser CX400 is an exquisite looking pair of earphones. The heads of the earplugs have a chrome ring and the Sennheiser logo on them, making them seem worth the price that you pay for them. The earplugs feature the standard design; the earplugs don't look scary like noticed in case of the Samsung earplugs. If you're wondering what are scary looking earphones are, take a look at this one from Bose.
CX400's earplug cable is half a meter in length, which is good enough to attach them to mobile headsets featuring a 3.5mm jack.



This portion of the earplugs also has the cable clip so you can attach them to your shirt. The 1 meter long extension cable makes it perfect to plug the earphones for use with MP3.

Yeah, they are available for $32 & I bought them - they are FAKE. Nobody sells a genuine CX400 or CX500 for $32. Its like selling a BMW M3 at 15 Lakhs instead of 75. Doesn't happen. So, do what I have done & pay the proper money & get the proper product. Be it Cx400 or 500

You have mentioned that it is better than all earplugs you have used, but have you tested Creative Aurvana in-ear phones? They are available at around 4000/- but they are multi-driver design rather than single driver like cx-400 or creative own EP-630

You keep saying in the review that the earphones create a vacuum inside the ears. But that is not possible. That's because sound requires a material medium to travel and in case of earphones it uses the air between the speakers and eardrums to propagate. If it were vacuum, the sound wouldn't propagate at all and we would here nothing. All that these in-ear earphones do is create a barrier between your ears and the external world so that you do not get disturbed by the ambient noises. They don't create a vacuum. A vacuum inside the ears can totally damage the ear drums.
