There’s something liberating about being free after the COVID pandemic, again. Seeing people out and about, in bars, restaurants and shops. Just about as freeing as it is to know that when you’re trying to drown them all out, not having cables to get in your way is a big plus.
Enter the Sennheiser CX 400 BT totally wireless earbuds; the ones that’ll change your life.
For $299.95, you get unfettered music bliss made possible by Sennheiser’s 7mm dynamic drivers, built-in equalisers and customisable touch controls, so you’re not constantly checking your phone and give you a certain ease of use that is just cool. Straight out of the box, the left earbud can be tapped once to play or pause music, twice to jump backwards a track and held down to turn the volume down. On the right earbud, one tap activates your phone’s voice assistant or accepts incoming calls, two taps jump forward a track or rejects calls and holding it down ups the volume.
They’re a sonic marvel that fits comfortably in the ear, and stack-up pretty fairly against the Sennheiser Momentum 2 True Wireless buds you can read about, too.
On the comfort front, Sennheiser’s clearly spent a lot of time looking into the ergonomics of the earbuds and fighting that ‘I just shoved it deeper into my ear’ feeling whenever you use the touch controls. With customisable fittings and a light 6g total per bud, there’s no feeling of carrying anything heavy around.
And when it comes to sound? You’ll create your own sound bubble.
Think of walking through the city, drowning out the noise, speech and traffic with clear-cut choice sounds infused with clarity and varying depths of detail.
In black or white and with a charge-to-charge lifespan of 7 hours or 13 with the case, they’re the kind of thing you throw in a bag for your on-the-go life at any location.
