                        I already have a Philips in-ear headphone which I use primarily on my iPod Touch. I bought this Sennheiser model in anticipation of my iPad purchase next month (May 2010). CX280 sounds good and I like its build. The only thing that I might want improved is the groove in the left earphone - it's too small to be noticed. I heavily use this groove to know which phone is left or right without looking at it. That's why I give it 4 stars only.

                                            I already have a Philips in-ear headphone which I use primarily on my iPod Touch. I bought this Sennheiser model in anticipation of my iPad purchase next month (May 2010). CX280 sounds good and I like its build. The only thing that I might want improved is the groove in the left earphone - it's too small to be noticed. I heavily use this groove to know which phone is left or right without looking at it. That's why I give it 4 stars only.
