Verdict
The short version
Overall, my experience with the Sennheiser earphones has been positive. The sound quality is good for its price and the noise isolation is above standard. There are some initial discomfort issues and concerns over durability, but these points are counterbalanced by its impressive audio output and value for money. Despite the more petite build and thinner wire, this model still delivers. It might be worth your consideration if you’re shopping on a tighter budget.
