Recently, I went to Media Markt in West End Mall and bought a Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision Black for my Apple iPhone 3GS. This is my simple personal review about this pair of earphones. I’m not an expert in these things. I just hope it could help you with how to decide when getting your own earphones.
Okay, for some background first. I bought a new pair of earphones because my favorite Philips earphones just keeps on breaking down on me. It never lasts a year for me. First, I bought the Philips SHE 7750 (with the extension cord). After half a year, the rubber sealing the earphones and producing the nice bass expanded/stretched and fell off. So I bought another Philips SHE 7750. Again, the rubber seal fell off. When I got to Budapest, Hungary, I bought the Philips SHE 7850. This one has in-line volume control. I was very happy with it already when the rubber again fell off after seven months. I couldn’t find it anywhere. 
The reason I buy Philips earphones is because of the frequency range, 8Hz – 24,000Hz. I’m a bass person (I also play bass guitar in my band, Vodka Cherry) and I like the bass range of Philips.
At first I was hesitant in buying Sennheiser because I saw another Philips with the better frequency range. But I decided I’m fed up with the rubber problems of Philips. Now I was also
thinking of buying AKG K330. They are of the same price as the Sennheiser. But a colleague of mine has AKG and I wasn’t impressed with it.
