Sennheiser Reveals In-ear Pair
With its longstanding emphasis on great sound and reliability, Sennheiser may not be the first brand name that comes to mind when thinking about nicely priced wireless in-ear ‘phones.
However, its woosome new duo - the CX 350BT and CX 150BT – might just change that perception forever.
Because StereoNET readers care about sound first and foremost, let’s start with the audio capabilities of the CX model earphones. Both models support audio codecs SBC and AAC, while the CX 350BT also adds AptX and AptX Low Latency support, which gives the listener a much wider bandwidth. Another benefit of AptX Low Latency support is its ability to sync sound to pictures when the listener is gaming or watching movies or music clips.
Sennheiser Product Manager, Jermo Köhnke, told StereoNET:
These new models help consumers enhance their daily audio experience with better sound while embracing the freedom of the latest wireless technology,
Important additional and practical features include 10-hour battery life, fast USB-C charging, compact, comfortable and durable design, and four different-sized ear tips for ear cavity-filling pleasure.
Oh, and let’s not forget the easy-peasy remotes of these wireless wonders, and in the case of the CX 350BT, convenient voice access to either Siri or Google Assistant. And for those who love to fiddle with settings, there’s an equaliser on the Sennheiser Smart Control app that lets listeners customise the sound.
The Sennheiser CX 150BT retails for AU $109.95 / NZ $119.95, while the CX 350BT can be bought for AU $149.95 / NZ $169.95.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
