SENNHEISER MX 365 Earphones Review

Last week my Phillips earphones went deaf on the right ear. For a music lover like me, i felt totally handicapped in one ear. I saw some articles on the internet to mend it, but with my limited DIY skills, gave up after the third attempt. So started, researching on the net about a descent pair of earphones. My criteria was:

1. First and foremost Earphones only not headphones, because being a girl it messes my hair.Also, very conscious about wearing headphones on the street, as I don't want to look like an absconding alien.
2. Not looking for sound isolation totally but something with good studio quality sound.
3. Earpones which will be good for everyday use.
4. Earphones that will fit snugly in my ears so that I don't attract undue attention from sneaky supervisors accusing me of listening to music the whole day. (Believe me they come with weird excuses in the time of appraisals.)
5. Earphones that I can unscramble with just two swift motions of my hand. With my handling,the wires of my earphones becomes a Rubik's cube. It's kind of embarassing for me to give that doe-eyed look(like Puss in Boots one, if you can relate to it) to other mortals, to untangle my earphones.
6. Budget between 1000-1200 as I did not want to go for a high-end of 3k and above as with my personal experience over the years, I will wear it out in a year, so wanted to play it safe. Did not want to buy between Rs 500 or less as the sound quality will be poor.

So, went to  Flipkart and Snapdeal to compare the prices and the brands and read the reviews. I am biased towards Flipkart when I have to order electronics stuff. After reading the reviews of Sony, Phillips, Sennheiser, Skull candy, Blaupunkt, I zeroed down to SENNHEISER MX 365 Earphones, with most of the reviews saying 'You can never go wrong with a SENNHEISER', I though of giving it a try. So, i ordered it on last Friday and Monday morning got it delivered at my office address. Very impressed by Flipkart's swift delivery and so glad, that they accept cards. With one swipe, the earphones are mine.

Flipkart's packaging was immaculate. With a scissor scraped it open and with my colleagues help got it out of the tight packaging. The earphones were ready to do its maiden journey. I tested it with 2 songs that was playing in my playlist
1) This is my Life by Edward Maya feat,Vika Jigulina 2) Chokra Jawaan from Ishaqzaade

My review:

SENNHEISER MX 365 Earphones
Color-(Red)
Price-Rs 1190

Pros:
1) The sound was crystal clear and had to reduce it to minimum as my colleague said it was too loud, even she can hear the music. Whoa, i liked that.
2) The bass, tremble is really good.
3) Tried it on my phone, in half the volume, my ears started hurting, which in case of the Phillips earphones, I had to put it in full volume. So, its compatiable with the lappy and phones.
4) Comes with 2 years waranty.

Cons:
1) It might look cheap with the black wires. My earlier earphones was green and blue. I hoped this earphones were some girly colour like pink ;)
2) The earpiece maybe a little big for the ear hole, well i was wearing the earpieces in the wrong ears, thankfully it has got initials for the Right and Left ears encrypted in the earpiece. Even if its big, the sound quality is crisp, and it protects your eardrums by not shoving deep into the ear canals like other earphones.

I hope you liked my review, I will randomly review things out of the blue. :)
