Design

The “neckband” style wireless earphone is a point of contention for some. Critics claim it’s too bulky and defeats the purpose of being wireless. But I say give it a try. It’s honestly not as bad as you’d think and the controls are very easy to use.

The ergonomic earphone housing on the CX 7.00BT reminds me of the Sennheiser CX 3.00 which is a popular wired earphone that has great Hi-Fidelity sound and features no inline controls. They fit nicely in the ear and don’t seem to bother me at all. In fact I could see myself wearing them for hours without a problem.

Sound

The Sennheiser CX 7.00Bt claims a frequency range of 17Hz to 21kHz. That’s great for a Bluetooth earphone. To start I listened to a wide range of music from my smartphone including (pop, rock, hip-hop and podcasts). After that I connected to a Fiio X7 to see how the aptX connection sounded.

What I found was controlled and balanced bass equivalent to the Sennhieser CX 3.00. As with most Sennheiser earphones I was equally impressed with the mids and high frequencies. From Geneva Jaccuzi to R.E.M. my streaming music sounded crystal clear and didn’t front with any boomy bass.

Listening via aptX on the Fiio X7 was even better. The clarity was incredible and even the volume sounded a bit louder. Although this headphone is definitely geared for use with smartphones you’ve got the added ability to connect to your computer or Hi-Res player and get really amazing sound.

Final Analysis

The Sennheiser CX 7.00BT is another hit in my book. The neckband is very similar to the HD-1 wireless and the earphones are very reminiscent of the CX 3.00 wired. Combining these two design elements into a wireless in-ear headphone priced at under $150 makes the CX 7.00BT a great product for the price.

This earphone is designed for the frequent traveler or commuter looking for excellent music clarity and access to high quality sounding phone calls at the touch of a button. The CX 7.00BT sounds best with most pop genres and works especially well with electronic and rock music. Overall I give this Sennheiser headphone 4-stars and a MajorHiFi stamp of approval.
