Based on my experience now of having used both of these headphones (Sennheiser CX300 Eco Ear Canal Headphones Black and the Sony MDR-EX300SLB In-Ear Headphones with 13.5mm Driver Unit) side by side extensively, here are the good and bad points for both:
- the CX300 block the environment noise out better than the Sony
- the CX300 is a better fit and plugs in to the ear more snuggly, the Sony becomes loose after a while, regardless of which of the three sizes of end plugs I use
- I fall asleep watching iplayer on my iphone some nights, and the CX300 is more comfortable to sleep on!
- they are both very similar in sound quality, but if you compare them carefully side by side using the same player (I use my dell soundbar with two headphone output jacks to test this) you'll see that the Sony has a slightly richer sound, mostly clearer better base
- I spend more time untangling the cable on the Sony set compared with the CX300. The cable on the Sony feels more 'plasticky', the cable on the CX300 feels more 'rubbery'.
My conclusion:
If you really need the better sound then Sony's for you. It comes with more bits (box, tidy case and extension cable which you need) which is probably why you pay more. I can tell you if I lost both and I could only get one to replace them... VERY difficult choice, but I'd maybe very likely not pay the extra and get the Sennheiser.
Having said all this, overall the CX300 deserves the five stars, where as I've rated the Sony four out of five.

I may as well tell you the story behind these earphones and me. I purchased a 16GB Sony S-Series Walkman to replace a smashed up iPod. The Walkman came with a pair of Sony EX85 earphones, which are pretty decent. Well actually, I had never had earphones so decent.
When those earphones broke and I had to go back to a pair of 10 Euro Panasonics, I noticed a huge difference in my audio pleasure. So I decided, while waiting to see if Sony would fix or replace the EX85, that I would splash out on these EX300.
And I haven't regretted it one bit. Pros, they have a really sharp, clear and quite full sound. You would definitely notice the difference over a cheaper pair. Yes, I noticed I was hearing sounds in songs that I hadn't heard with cheaper pairs, as well as other little things; for example in one song what I had always thought was a drum thud, now turned out to be definitely hands clapping. After wondering for ages whether it really is worth investing in proper headphone upgrades, I can now confirm it definitely is.
Cons, well the only issue I have with them is that the cable is split into two parts; meaning I find it is either too short without the extender, or too long with the extender. But that's not such an issue that I'm going to deduct a star.
Like "Rich", I'm also now wondering what the EX500 sound like, or even the EX700. I don't know if a pair of Sennheisers in the same price range might be a better bet, all I can do is relay my experience: out of Sennheisers and Sonys that I have bought at a lower price range than this, I always preferred the sound on the Sonys.
If you've just bought or own an MP3 player and you want to upgrade your earphones to something better, then I think these are definitely a good option.

I typically got a poor pair of headphones with my IPOD so I went out looking for some quality headphones. After doing some research it was a toss up between the Sony EX300 and the CX300 from Seinheiser. I found somwhere to try them before you buy and there was a distinct difference. Sony's EX300 had much fuller sound that just blew me away and were so much more comfortable than the CX300's. It was a no brainer in the end despite the price difference. EX300 are great I use them every day. However I now wonder what the Sony EX500 are like.

There are better earphones for around the same price.
I think the sound is quite good from these headphones, the bass is seems like an afterthought though and if your playing at a high volume some tracks get a bit tinny. Read more
