Helpful Hints 
by .. budwzr (Cerritos,CA)
I was disappointed in my earbuds at first, because I couldn't get a good fit, and I discovered that the manual is totally inadequate in this regard.
The "secret" for me was to twist the buds backwards (instead of forward) and "catch" the rim of the "bowl" of my ear. The fit is now snug and secure, I can even use the toilet standing up without fear of them dropping in, hahaha.
The other issue I had was I thought I had a pairing problem because the left bud would "cut out" in about 15 minutes. I tried all the re-pairing techniques, and no joy.
What I discovered is that the left battery was no good. It wouldn't hold a charge, and I noticed it stayed lit in the cradle after the other bud charged and its light went out.
I contacted "Eric" at Sennheiser USA, and he immediately sent me a replacement battery by first class mail. Didn't have to register and go through all the normal RMA hassles like other companies.
The customer service experience was personal, and felt like I had my own concierge at Sennheiser.
5 thumbs up to Eric at Sennheiser USA!
As far as sound quality goes, GiGo applies here. f you "groom" your mp3's with "MP3 Gain" (free), to set the playback gain tag to the area of 91db, the MX's will leap into crystal clear optimum sound quality mode.
For you audiophiles out there (like me), playback gain adjuustment DOES NOT introduce clipping when applied properly, and will eliminate clipping as well.
Many of the Amazon MP3's are clipping already because they know that many portable devices, like iPod, have low level audio output, and that most customers would rather have max volume even with some clipping.
MP3 Gain will fix this, and you will be much happier with your SennBuds. Anyone that needs help with this can e-mail me, and I can go into more detail.
Stunning! Redefines wireless fidelity. by .. Eric Brown (Arlington, TX USA)
These little cans are absolutely superb. I just got them, charged them up and listened to them. Within the first few seconds I heard sound wirelessly like I never thought was possible. Simply stunning reproduction. I also own what I would consider (as well as others) as "reference standards" audiophile wired headphones, Sennheisers HD650 and while not quite as flat or with the rich bass as the HD650's, the MXW1's are very, very close.
I was very nervous about spending $500 on theses, but you will definitely hear the $$$ difference between these and the $200 hi-end bluetooth alternatives. I am sure the Kleer technology used by these (vs. bluetooth) is the key difference in the sound reproduction (uncompressed vs. compressed transmission).
Other perform points such as distance and comfort were very good to excellent, although I can imagine possible less comfort for those with very small ears. The "twist-to-fit" mechanism seem large even for me, but after 2 hours of continuous use, I had no wearers fatigue.
The only knock is the charging time. It took about 3 hours out of the box for the buds to charge. Pairing was simple and straight-forward.
Bottom line, if you are looking for audiophile level fidelity in a wireless headset, these are the ones. They are a pleasure to hear your music with the freedom of being wireless.
No complaints! by .. Jeff J. Thiem (Kirkuk, Iraq)
I had been searching for wireless earphones for about a year and it was kind of difficult to find. I saw the movie, "Definitely, Maybe" and tried running a search to hopefully get a match. They weren't the exact pair from the movie, but they are a really close match! I was a little wary of the price at first and it took me about a month before I finally bought them. I've had them for about 2 days now and am in love with them. I experienced zero problems with the initial set up. I've received zero problems since. I'm currently deployed to Iraq and it's so nice to be able to just pop an earpiece in under my ACH (Helmet) when I can and just take it out and turn it off when I can't. The sound is great and I've been able to get better quality from these then most earphones that are available to me out here. Charging dock is a great idea. When I first received them I charged them all for about an hour and used them nonstop for an entire movie. I let them charge overnight and have been using them for a few hours now with no hiccups. Twist to fit design fits good in my ears. I could understand how some other people may have issues with it since everybody's made differently, but it fits perfectly in my ears. Overall it's a great product and I have already started recommending them to my friends. Thanks Sennheiser
Great Earphone by .. Rehan Farrukh ()
I am very pleased with these earphones. Superb quaity. Its been 3-4 days and have been enjoying it. Totally CD quality, lossless audio. It perfectly fits into my ears, though there is hardly any other earbud stays in my ear. But this one fits perfectly, no need to push to hear the deeper bass. I love the freedom of using it without wires. I would highly recommend it. Worth every single penny.
Totally Awesome! by .. Tobias Morgan (Verona,NJ)
I've had these for about a year now, and use them daily at the gym (running) then pumping iron.
they have NEVER faltered! the sound quality is the BEST.
you would not know they didnt have wires.
i paid online 350 though. you have to be an audio freak to pay that much, but certain things in life are worth the expense.
if they broke i would buy another pair tomorrow!
