I broke my regular iPod earphones, trod on one of them - but they still work, just lol

What do you think of these as a replacement?

CX300 is quite an old model now so wouldn't be too surprised at the price - had mine for a few years now, guy at work got his last year for £20.

Having said that - they are all from re-sellers... Might be fakes.

I very much doubt they'll be fakes. They're on Amazon for a similar price and I can recommend them as I've got a pair, good value for money.

The ones on Amazon for a similar price are being sold by Amazon sellers, the cheapest I could find sold actually by Amazon are £38.03

The real ones should blow your socks off - not just be good value, there are ALOT of fakes about from resellers - only a few places are allowed to sell Senheisser stuff.

Google "Senheisser Fake" it if you don't believe me

Indeed, the fake headphone market has gotten quite ridiculous. They knock every bit of it off, you really have to look hard to tell, and its really not worth spending sennheiser money for generic sound.
