Advantages: Comfortable

Disadvantages: Virtually the same to the CX400 (cheaper)

I bought these in-earphones as a replacement for my CX400s which had an unfortunate incident with a vacuum cleaner!

The Sennheiser CX500s come with a carry case, clip, Two complete sets of earbuds.

Sound-wise, there is very little if any difference between the CX500 and the CX400, the only additional feature is the volume control on the CX500s. I have, in the distant past, owned a couple of pairs of CX300s. The CX500 are definitely better than the CX300, and I think they are worth the little bit extra.

My CX500's came with two styles of earbud. The conventional earbud and a style I had never seen before, it looks as almost like to buds joined. I found them better than the usual earbud as they reach deeper into the ear and are incredibly comfortable.

The bass is fairly even through these earphones and sound smooth is produced. Although when listening through my CX500s I need an EQ on that reduces treble, but I think that is partly my personal taste.

Overall though, I think they are a great little pair of in-earphones. But personally I'd spend you hard earned cash on the CX400. The CX400s are cheaper and virtually the same. I give the CX500 4/5 on their own. But they are fairly redundant with the CX400 on the market.
