My beloved earbuds died this morning. *cries*
I went to replace them on Amazon and had a mild panic atrack when I realized I could only order from 3rd party sellers, which is never a good sign, since it means this product is discontinued and not being stocked much longer.
If anyone knows of something similar to the Sennheiser CX 300 ii, please let me know! I’m also searching, but I also have a bag full of mud-range and cheap earbuds that I’ve tried over the years in the hopes of finding something that satisfied me as much as CX 300’s, but these have been the most comfortable and reliable for me for about a decade.
I have happily replaced them every couple of years when they no longer work (I am not gentle on earbuds, so this is just a reasonable expectation). But I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that much longer (and I can’t afford to buy alllllllll the 300’s I can find, or that would totally be an option, like I did with the Bob Cousy PF Flyers when I realized they weren’t making any more and these were the only shoes of that style that were comfortable on my weird feet. I still have 2 unopened boxes in my closet).
Anyway, I’m having earbud woes. I love the asymmetrical cord, but I guess I’ll have to suck it up and try a different style of Sennheisers. Sigh.
