Technology Choice
Taken from the Sennheiser article on the home page. We have selected the CX550 Style 2 as a Godfather Technology Choice. Seen as an accessory to a device, which they are, but adapted to all technology devices that can play music. Fantastic sound quality, reasonable price for near high end performance, and that usual Sennheiser, 2 year warranty, make this selection a must for those that appreciate quality sounds from their tunes.
To Start with, we sample the Sennheiser CX550 Style II. A high end earphone that sits comfortably in the middle of Sennheisers earphone range and replacing the favorable CX95. Finished in silver metal, the noise cancelling in ear design is not just one of the best quality earphone on the market, but possibly the most attractive too. With variable size fitting and comfort (even for long durations), these earphones are a sensible choice for those that are not too keen with in ear designs. The CX550 Style-II aren't cheap. Launch retail at £80 is a serious investment, so you better be serious about how your music sounds, those that are serious about sound quality, will be quite impressed with the rich music quality delivered from these. For those of you that want to know the exact statistics of these earphones, then you should be impressed to know that they deliver a frequency response of 17-22.5GHz, a sound pressure level of 114db and are constructed using Neodymium magnets and contain their own miniaturized drive units. What does that mean to everyone else? They're top quality, specialized earphones that compliment your audio listening.
Going back to the purchase price. Equivilent to the average employee's take home wage per day? Thats about right. It is a lot. Lets put a perspective in place, because there are too many critics based on price alone. Firstly, too many think it's too much because their MP3 or iPod/iPhone already comes with Apple earphones or standard manufacturer earphones. True, but if you are a regular music listener through your Apple earphones, try going into a specialist audio store and ask to sample these earphones through your device, and then try not to smile as you notice your music enhance with the rich sounds delivered through your lobes! You won't. These critics can spend up to £200 on a music device without releasing the potential, and this is what the CX550 Style-II does, releases good quality for your enjoyment. Also bear in mind that Sennheiser provide a 2 year warranty for your investment.
