There are speaker holes a the base of the case that can make a sound if you lose the AirPods while they are in their case. The charging case now comes with a small metal lanyard loop – although Apple doesn’t actually sell a lanyard. We found the extra small tips more comfortable, your experience may differ.
The new model comes with four sets of eartips adding extra small (XS) to the mix – the original AirPods Pro only came with three tips. There are a few minor external changes for the second-generation AirPods Pro, but most of the changes are on the inside. The charging case doesn’t support wireless charging, but that’s an acceptable compromise at this price, and the CX Plus stands out as a really good all-round set of earbuds at a very competitive price. It’s a very precise sound too, catching all the little background details such as the ticking percussion and jangling rhythm guitar.
Blondie’s Rapture kicks off with a crisp, sharp cymbal crash and the CX Plus delivers the song’s catchy bass line with a hip-swaying rhythm. The CX Plus supports both Apple’s AAC for Bluetooth, and AptX for Android devices, and sound quality is really good for earbuds in this price range. The Sennheiser app provides some simple EQ controls and, as well as the transparency feature provided by many headphones, the app also allows you to create and save sound zones for specific locations, such as the gym or on a train, that have their own customized settings. Regular travellers will also appreciate the noise-cancellation features, which do a good job of blocking out background noise. Using noise-cancellation cuts that down by about an hour, but the charging case lets you recharge the earbuds two more times, so you’ll get 21-24 hours of music depending on usage, making the CX Plus a good option for long journeys. The size of the earbuds also means that they have room for a decent size battery, lasting for around eight hours on a single charge. The CX Plus has the same rather bulky design as its predecessor – which remains on sale for £119 – but that’s a minor complaint, and the attractive sound quality and effective noise-cancellation features represent great value for money. Sennheiser recently updated its popular CX True Wireless earbuds with this new model called the CX Plus, which adds noise cancellation and support for AptX, while still keeping the price down to $179/£129 (in the US it’s discounted to $129.95 right now).
