The Panasonic RP-HJE50 headphones offer a good value alternative to the Sennheiser Cx300. The sound quality is good. (I was using them as a replacement for my Ipod standard headphones). With a reasonable bass and good handling of higher-end tones. The headphones sit comfortably in the ear and do well to block out external noise. On a downside the rubber-ear pieces occasionally fall off when in a pocket of bag. Also, the two-piece cord is an annoying length when used with an ipod kept in a trouser pocket. The short piece is too short, and with the extension piece too long. But on the whole, good headphones and excellent value for money.

The first thing I have to say is that these headphones are not the best headphones you can buy. What is so amazing about these is the price. You are looking at a £60 pair for he ridiculously cheap price of £17! I have had a pair since January 2007 and they are still going at a fantastic quality. The bass definition is beyond that of a lot of my speakers. The sound is truly immersing. For the price these are definitely my best buy in a long time. I have had many many compliments from friends and family who have tried them on how fantastic they sound compared to theirs and I move in very music enthusiastic circles. BUY A PAIR!
