I started listening to music on my phone again when I started commuting by train.
I used to use Bose's QuietComfort25 headphones.
The noise-canceling feature is great, and I still use them when I fly. But when I commute to work by train, I feel that headphones are too much. However, I didn't have to worry about sound leaking from the earphones, so I could listen to loud sounds without worry
I decided to switch from headphones to earphones and bought a pair of reasonably priced Sony earphones, but they didn't sound good; the AKG earphones I had bought over 10 years ago sounded much better.
So last year I got a pair of earphones called AKG N20 and used them. I like them because they have a very natural sound. However, they are not wireless, so they are a bit difficult to handle. Especially when I put on or take off my mask, the cord sometimes gets in the way.
I thought that wireless would free me from the hassle of such cords.
After a lot of searching on the net and wondering whether to buy or not to buy, I bought a pair of CX Treu Wirless earphones from Sennheiser, a manufacturer of affordable audio equipment like AKG.
This is the second Sennheiser product I have purchased since I bought a shotgun mic called MKE600 last year. The MKE 418e shotgun mic is highly regarded as an industry standard mic for film and television.
The earphones I've been using, AKG, also has a very high reputation as a microphone manufacturer and is used in studios all over the world. Because of this, I own two microphones, three headphones, and two earphones.
My impression of the CX True Wireless is that it feels a little heavy, perhaps because I'm not used to it. The fit is also not quite right and my ears hurt. However, this may be due to the wrong way of wearing them.
The sound quality is also not that great. I think I made a mistake.
I'm not sure if the earphones need aging or not, but I'll give them a second look after using them for a while.
