Introduction
Established in 1945 in Wedemark, Germany, Sennheiser are renowned worldwide for their high-quality audio gear, which include earphones, RF-wireless and infrared sound transmission, and active noise cancellation technology. With earphones all the rage these days and audio enthusiasts demanding more accuracy, clarity and range of sound, Sennheiser has risen to the challenge with several earphone designs.
Instead of large, expensive, noise-cancelling headsets, today we look at the the lower end of the scale with the Sennheiser MX500 earphones, which retail for about USD 20 and less than AUD 25.

The eye catching product as you will see it on the shelf!
The protective case is made from thick plastic and will easily protect the earphones from any damage. The inner layer is moulded to hold the earphones in place, and it does the job quite nicely.
