Got stung for customs on this. Had to head all the way out to Kilbarrack Industrial estate (pita to get to) during lunchtime.

Thanks for the heads-up. I must remember to order items individually from them in future given that their prices include delivery.

Bump for these as I just bought them from Amazon for £12.99

What's the build quality like on these? Hate buying nice earphones and then they break after a couple of months

Click to buy it under Amazon in the 'More Buying Options' bar on the right-hand side.

Not sure.. only just bought them!

But there's 4 pages before my post - there's bound to be something mentioned!

ED E · 01-04-2010 03:43PM

They're great once seated right and I havent managed to beak them yet, even after over 4 months of daily use.

I bought 3 pairs (€54). Got a notice in the door that customs want to charge me €17.15!

Something is wrong there. Should be around 11.

Meh. CX300 IIs are just rehoused CX400s which were never up to much in the first place.

Well, I can say mine have lasted for four months at least, and I haven't tried taking a very good care of them.

I paid €35 or so at HMV, though..

Raekwon · 01-04-2010 06:20PM

Just got a pair there for €20 including shipping, I have the CX-500's for 4 months now and they have been really good.

JDxtra · 01-04-2010 06:27PM

Really good build quality on these. I would normally have busted at least one side of a pair of Sony headphones by now but these guys are showing no signs of giving up anytime soon.

Basq · 01-04-2010 07:13PM

It's even less now at £12.24.. so cancelled and re-ordered!

peckerhead · 01-04-2010 07:17PM

Do I hear £11.84...? :pac:

That's a Marketplace seller.. you can only buy off Amazon at £12.24 in the 'More Buying Options' bar.

tman · 01-04-2010 07:43PM

Nice one, just ordered for £11.84:), either a rat or a rabbit gnawed one of the earpieces of my last pair and I've been meaning to get another set (can't turn your back for 10 seconds in this bloody house!)

pablodunlop · 01-04-2010 07:56PM

£11.50 here, 2 left :pac:

I wouldn't trust eBay for Sennheiser. It's full of fakes and the fakes are very convincing looking these days, you only realise when you try them out and the sound quality is crap.

Basq · 01-04-2010 08:10PM

Doesn't seem to be available to buy directly off Amazon directly now.

horsey24787 · 01-04-2010 08:10PM

I can't see it in the more buying options. does this mean they're sold out

Yep. I'm dubious even buying from an Amazon marketplace seller... There are so many fakes out there:(
Can't seem to cancel my order as well

15 in stock at the moment for £13.99 from Amazon's Preferred Merchant (super saver delivery applies to me, and hopefully to Irish addresses too)

My last ones still haven't been dispatched, so I've asked them to cancel the order and have reordered
