Sennheiser CX Sport Review
In a world where most people are becoming more aware of their health and fitness, we need companies that will step up to the plate. We need them to improve upon existing technology and come up with new technology to keep up with consumers needs.
Some athletes who make everything look so easy and effortless. There should be accessories that do the same. As far as earbuds and headphones are concerned, Sennheiser delivers with the CX Sport wireless in-ear headset. The quality of the audio performance did not suffer at the hands of an exceptionally purposeful design. The CX Sport can grant you both functionality and a premium audio experience.
This headset is moisture (sweat/splash) resistant, lightweight, and be worn either around the back of the neck or in front. A fully charged battery can power you through six hours. And charging for only an hour and a half will get you that six hours. If you only have enough time to charge for ten minutes, you will still get yourself a full hour.
You can easily connect this headset with up to eight, devices. Two can even be paired simultaneously. There is a variety of sizes for the ear adapters as well as sizes for the ear fins to provide you with a customized feel. Not only can the perfect size give you comfort, but it will also help with reducing the external noise.
Experience your workouts or commutes or lunch breaks with the comfort and convenience of a wireless headset that delivers a clear and dynamic sound that responds with bass when you move. The CX Sport even comes with a convenient three-button remote (on the cord that connects the buds around your neck) that can manage your music and calls without a hassle.

Fit
A major problem has been present in wearable speakers since they were first designed. That is that not everyone’s head is shaped the same. No matter how adjustable headphones were made, they just didn’t fit some heads. Then came the earbuds, which were a lot better, but ran into a new problem. Not everyone’s ears are the same. Sennheiser came up with a solution by including multiple sizes of both the buds and the ear fins for a customized fit.
The CX Sport headset provides you with top-of-the-line fit, comfort, and convenience. You can enjoy the liberation you feel from a wireless sound without compromising an inch on sound quality. You can also reap the rewards of a lightweight, comfortable design.
The headset comes with three sizes (small, medium, and large) of ear fins that are ergonomically designed to hold your earbuds in place. There are also four sizes of the ear tips (extra small, small, medium, and large) so that you can have a personalized fit. This will help the buds stay in better while you’re in motion as well as providing a more wholesome sound experience.
The neck cable is adjustable and includes a handy clothing clip which allows you to move without worrying about them falling off. The perfect fit of both the earbuds and neck cable will help you enjoy premium comfort and optimal passive reduction of outside noise.

Qualcomm apt-X
The CX Sport uses a great innovative technology that this headset has is called Qualcomm apt-X. Its job is to optimize the sound quality of wireless audio devices. This technology is commonly used for consumer products such as headphones as well as automotive audio applications (like Pandora). Qualcomm enhances the streaming connection of a Bluetooth pairing between one device (tablet, smartphone, laptop) and another (headset, vehicle audio, or Bluetooth speaker).
In order to receive the best results from this technology, it must be used in the transmitter and the receiver both so that it can fully reap the sonic benefits by having the apt-X coding override the default coding that is mandated via Bluetooth standard.
The Low Latency audio apt-X provides will ensure that your CX Sport will deliver a sound that is in sync with the video (if applicable). Low Latency works to reduce delay and also improves the speed of the transmission from one source to another. This is especially convenient for those who wish to go wireless but still be able to play video games and watch videos with headphones on. Wherever you go, your CX Sport has you covered!
