If I didn't just buy my AKG 242s I would snap those puppies up. Good bargain though by the looks of it.

Good value indeed..

£15.99 at Play.com, but don't ship to Ireland obviously.

Didn't see that, after picking up a pair of shures so Im kicking myself too.

This is definately the lowest price, been searching for these for a while and am looking forward to finally getting them as mymemory shipped them yesterday

how more superior to the cx300s (which are fantastic) are these?

Going by the name I'd say they're 67% better

The cx300s have more bass than the cx500s - that was the bggest difference imo!

I just bought 2 pairs :E

This forum is so bad for my bank balance.

lads, might be a dumb question. I see in these that the cable length is .15m... which is one of those chest length cables.
It looks like it also comes with an extension though.
Cable clip, cable winder, and carrying pouch for convenient handling and storage

Now, my question. I bought a set of these (CX400) a while back but it didn't come with the extra extension. Does anyone know where the hell I get one? The headphones have been sitting in the box since.

Something like this?
Maybe not as long but search for extension cable or the likes and you'll find more

ya I guess. Was hopping to get on of the ones that are "supposed" to come with the headphones though. They seem a bit neater. Maybe just in my head.

I had a pair of cx300's before, and am currently using cx500's. They are excellent earphones. To anyone who has had the cx300's, the "rustling" noise when you rub off the cord has been greatly reduced, though still present to small degree!

I just bought one of these. Is this a product which I will need to be home to collect or will the post man just drop it in the letter box as its so small.
