Consumer Audio CX Plus True Wireless Earbuds - Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones for Music and Calls with Active Noise Cancellation, Customizable Touch Controls, IPX4 and 24-hour Battery Life

Sound quality is amazing for earbuds, that is expected out of Sennheiser. Able to hear the crispness, the depths and details of the audio and have a great bass for its size. The volume is not too shabby too. The battery is good and last quite a while until you need to recharge. And the case packs extra juice when you're on-the-go. Taking calls is fantastic. The transition between listening to audio and taking calls along with the extra support from the 'Sidetone' feature it has. Noise isolation is good. The ANC is not the best, but decent. The earbuds themselves are pretty big but I like it. It's pretty noticeable when you wear but at least it is somewhat okay in style. The case doesn't have any holes to put accessories on or to tie to your bag. It is a bit on the bulky side of the size spectrum, so leaving it in the pocket is going to be a bit uncomfortable. The volume is a bit confusing. The volume control you have on the earbuds is only for the earbuds. You may have max volume on your device but if you have min volume on your earbuds, you can't hear anything. I didn't realize this at first and thought something was wrong with the earbuds when the audio didn't come through. Checked my device and the audio level is high, only to realize the earbud volume is min, so I had to change directly using the touch control. A bit finnicky if only using one earbud as you also have to put the other bud to change the opposite level (increase/decrease). The accompanying app could use a lot of improvements. Need better equalizer instead of just the three bars. Let users share their EQ creations and try other EQ presets from others. No earbuds volume control on the app, all need to be through the touch control. When you open the app, it takes a while for the app to 'connect' to your earbuds and let you access the controls on the app. It doesn't take long to 'connect' each time but still noticeable. This is weird as it's already connected by bluetooth, shouldn't it be seamless. Overall, good product. Very good hardware and amazing sound quality with rooms for improvements especially the app.

I was looking for a relatively inexpensive pair of earbuds that I could use while mowing and using yard equipment or power tools. I've tried several earbuds that were OSHA approved/rated, but was not happy with them. Decided to try some with Active Noise Cancellation. Once I got the correct size ear pieces in place, it was amazing how well the noise from power and lawn equipment was removed. Makes it possible to actually hear the music without having to turn it up to dangerous levels. I particularly like the touch controls; since I use an old iPhone repurposed as an iPod, and wear it in a water and dust proof belt, it's a pain to have to stop everything to take the iPhone out just to adjust the volume or to use an app to access other features. The ones I need (volume, pause/play, previous and next, cancellation/transparency) are all on the buds themselves and accessible with a tap or series of taps or tap-and-hold. The app is very nice; it allows for equalizer customization (and saves it per device) and to modify the touch controls to precisely what you want. And, for those that must have the heaviest of bass, these have a bass boost as well at the EQ. Additionally, these pair with up to six devices. That's significant, since the sound quality is so good I can also use them with my non-iPod iPhone. They are easy to insert, and once I installed the Large earpieces, stayed in place. Very comfortable, as well. The case has magnetic prongs that marry up to metal pieces on the earbuds, meaning it's virtually impossible to place them in the case in a way that does NOT allow them to charge. Honestly, I have trouble coming up with any negatives Just a well constructed product that works as it should, with great sound, easy pairing, and excellent controls and app.

I just bought the CX buds and decided to upgrade to the CX plus instead. Love the added features and that classic Sennheiser sound quality. I'm extremely happy with my purchase, but there are some things that could be better: PROS: - Great sound quality. I'll never buy into the hype of all these other buds that over-market Bass. Sennheiser has good bass, but more importantly, it's very well balanced and clear. - The design is very similar to the CX. Even though it's still on the bulkier side than most, it does have a slightly more slimmed-down profile than the CX and feel better. - Great features like smart pause, transparency mode, and added mics are great. CONS: - The ANC is pretty underwhelming compared to other buds in this price range. In my car, I can still hear a lot of engine noise. In a bustling coffee shop, I can still hear some background noise of people talking pretty clearly. I only have the Soundcore Life P3s ($80) to compare it to, but the P3 ANC is much better. So anyone who is dead set on these buds because of the ANC will be pretty disappointed, but it's not a dealbreaker for me. - This might be true for most modern TW buds, but switching devices is a bit of a pain. I hate that I have to go into the app to switch connections. With most BT buds, I can just go into the device settings to simply connect or it will connect right away to the closest device. I can't seem to get these to do that, but again, not a big deal. overall, fantastic buds for $120!

I'm not going to write too much about the sound quality, because there are probably other reviewers who can assess the quality better than I. The sound is definitely good, but I am not going to pretend to be able to talk about mid ranges and the like, so I'll leave that to the audio engineers. HOWEVER, on the usability front, these are FRUSTRATING AF. I've had two pairs of these. The first pair began having issues playing music a couple days after the return window ended. They would connect, but the music would immediately pause. I tried everything to fix it. I assumed it was my phone (turns out it wasn't), so I purchased a second pair. Stupid me. What I really, really don't like about these is that if you touch them when you're on a call, they hang up. You can change the touch controls for listening to music, but not for calls. So there's no way to get them to not hang up on the person if you touch them. WHYYY‽‽‽ these often slip from my ear, so it is so hard to not touch them or adjust them while in use. They're practically unusable because of how frequently I accidentally hang up on the person during the call. I always explain to them that it's because "I have these crappy senheisser earbuds." Another issue is the app. When I open the app, a black screen with a bunch of red code displays before it crashes. This issue happens frequently enough, and has been going on for years. When it happens, there's nothing you can do but wait a couple days until they fix it. Sometimes, the earbuds are inoperable until they fix it.

As expected from Sennheiser, the sound quality is fantastic; wide soundstage and great instrument separation. It is on par with their current flagship Momentum TW2. ANC is very usable. It's an improvement from their TW2 ANC. It helps that the passive noise isolation is superb too as long as you choose the ear tips that fit you the best. Transparency mode is quite amplified so it may sound unnatural. But it may be a good thing if you're using it while outside on a busy street. Touch controls are very responsive. Probably the best one by far. The only con i can point out for now is that it may be uncomfortable for people with smaller ears. For most people though, these will fit nicely. They won't easily fall out if you'll be using them while jogging or general workouts.

The in-ear style has a better chance to stay in place than Buds Live, but CX True Wireless is much wider. The sound quality is similar to the Buds Live but is probably quieter at the loudest volume. I would say the Buds Live app features are more convenient. Its equalizer has twice the presets and has an ANC toggle. The Sennheiser Smart Control needs to include transparent hearing, ANC, and other toggles. I'm not sure if the ANC is worse than Buds Live because the transparent hearing seems to work well enough. The microphone is about the same in quality but I prefer Sennheiser. The CX True Wireless connectivity is the biggest advantage on Buds Live. It has significantly less distortion and drops in quality. Buds Live would play robotic if I didn't stay still or had something other than my phone in front of me. CX had a strange playback when I was chewing food but that might be it so far. I didn't have a chance to test the battery lives but the one perk I am pleased to have is the auto power off by CX. Buds Live 0.5/5 CX True Wireless 3.5/5 *Dropped to 1/5 After two months of use the issues begin to surface. It cannot reliably play audio from two sources on a laptop such as YouTube in the background, personal media, or other programs that play or record sound. Too many times I've had to hard reset or remove the device to get it to work again and sometimes it just doesn't connect, or disconnect properly, despite audio playing. I'm sure this affects most earbuds but I should have let people know earlier that it cuts off the first half of a second of audio for anything. To test this look up the word syllable on Google, then play the audio to pronounce the word. 3/10 it will say the word perfectly, 3/10 it skips the first syllable, 3/10 it doesn't pronounce syllable. If Jabra Elite 75t isn't a reliable earbud, I will give up on earbuds entirely.

RECOMMENDATION: I definitely rate these a ‘BUY. Sound quality is great, noise cancellation is pretty good and battery life is average. Can be easy to accidentally touch them due to how far they stick out. THE GOOD: 1. Gret sound quality, especially for the price. 2. Noise cancellation works well. 3. Battery life is good. 4. Works well with Android phones. THE BAD: 1. They do stick out from your ears a little bit, so it can be easy to hit them accidentally with your hand and thus activate a feature, like skipping a song, by accident. You do get used to it though.

Left bud crapped out but they were solid while they lasted. I've had 2 pairs and both left buds went dud. I give 'em 2 years, I work on cameras and Alarms, outside a lot, heavy usage. Call quality? People were saying they couldnt hear me when I was in my work van. Reliable tho.

I've been using these for about 2 months, love them VERY much! Sound quality is great, they're comfortable, the noise cancellation is good and so is the transparent hearing mode when I need it. Battery actually does last 8 hours as advertised, even with me constantly using the buttons to pause/skip/etc

tengo aproximadamente 2 meses usando estos audífonos, el sonido es muy bueno y su cancelación de sonido ambiental, también es muy bueno. la única critica es que los audífonos que me llegaron resultaron defectuosos, al mes de uso el auricular derecho no cargaba al 100% y en menos de media hora se descargaban para posteriormente apagarse, me dirigí al centro de servicio de Sennheiser en la ciudad de México para hacer valida la garantía del producto y el mismo día me resolvieron el problema cambiándomelos por unos nuevos del mismo modelo (excelente servicio) con los cuales ya no tengo ningún problema.

Buen sonido, si tienes oportunidad cómpralos en descuento. Son algo antiguos pero la calidad es muy buena. Recién los cambien por otros Sennheiser más actuales, los MTW 4. Pero en su momento fue una buena compra y ya van para 2 años.

disappointed with the headphones. reviews are very positive but in fact they are very average tws. sound is dull, somewhat taller than should be, app is not the best, occasionally can't reconnect to the smartphone.

El audio de los CX plus es bastante bueno. Sin embargo para ser unos audífonos "premium" la calidad de construcción no es tan buena. El estuche de carga se siente muy frágil. No son unos audífonos baratos por lo que Sennheiser pudo haber invertido mejor en la construcción. A pesar de ser algo grandes son cómodos.
