OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
I purchase many products from Amazon and value the customer reviews. While I have never written a review prior to this, I now feel compelled tell the story of my experience with Sennheiser MX500 Lightweight In-Ear Headphones (White).
I purchased a white mp3 player and decided to invest in a pair of white earbuds. I went to Amazon and based upon these reviews and my prior experience with Sennheiser I settled on the MX500 Lightweight In-Ear Headphones which I purchased in January of 2008. Upon receiving them I could tell they were not good quality. The material and fabrication were extremely cheap. However I still had hopes that they would at least sound pretty good. Unfortunately they didn't. They LITERALLY sounded like two soup cans. No matter what I listened to, it was ... Read More
not as good as apple's
I bought the sennheiser mx500's as a replacement for my apple ipod headphones. I went with the sennheiser's because they are a recognized name in audio and I have used their microphones and speakers before. The winding case also seemed to add value which made me decide to purchase them.
My first impressions when putting the headphones on was that they sounded very brash with very loud high end treble and not as much bass.

Okay, but not impressive
I use these headphones for my IPod Nano and they are alright, but I liked the original ones that Apple supplied a little bit better.

Especially when working out this can be annoying. As far as sound quality goes, they are as good as the original IPod headphones. Still, next time I have to buy new headphones I might try a different pair.
FAST AND GOOD
the product was exactly as ordered. . .it was shipped the next day UPS where I could track it being delivered directly to my house. . . .and not to mention it was the cheapest price I found for the earbuds. Thanks

Great audio, great feel
I'm on my second pair of these Sennheisers and love them. The audio is great, and they're gentle on the ears as long as the foam covers stay in place. The case keeps the cable from tangling which is a nice feature. My only suggestion would be for Sennheiser to supply additional foam covers, as you'll probably lose one of them soon or later.
