Sennheiser has released a new set of low-cost wired earbuds called the CX 80U, priced at $39.95/£34.99, which deliver strong bass and clear vocals for the price. Despite being more expensive than Apple’s Earpods, these earpieces stay in your ears and don't fall out of your ears every five minutes. They also provide removable ear-tips in three sizes to help you get a good fit. Despite lacking noise-cancellation features, the firm fit of the ear-tip helps to block out background noise. The USB-C connection for the Cx 80U also allows it to support digital audio formats up to 24-bit/96KHz, allowing it to handle most lossless and high-res audio tracks available on Apple Music and other streaming services. Despite its price tag, the reviewer praises the design and weight-saving microphone for voice calls.
