Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
2.has a detachable cable
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
3.sweat resistance
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
4.weight
12g
5g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
5.weather-sealed (splashproof)
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
6.travel bag is included
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
Sound quality
1.lowest frequency
17Hz
10Hz
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
2.highest frequency
21000Hz
20000Hz
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
3.has passive noise reduction
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
4.has active noise cancellation (noise control)
Sennheiser CX 300S
Sennheiser IE 80
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
5.sound pressure level
118dB/mW
125dB/mW
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
6.impedance
18 Ohms
16 Ohms
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
