They are OEM, but for forsaking the fancy packaging you get them for around half the price that everyone else seems to be charging on the web (£5.48 delivered)
And if you happen to live in Crawley you can pick them up for £3.98

Just bought a new MP3 player but couldn't run to an Iriver that comes with these as standard, so quite pleased with this find.

The Iriver I looked at was this iRiver IFP190T at ebuyer.com.
Packed With
* iFP-190T Music Player
* Sennheiser MX300 Earphones
* Neck Strap
* PC Installation CD
* AA Battery
* USB Cable
* Printed Manual
* 1 Year Warranty
I just presumed they all came with Sennheisers. Thinking about it if there are OEM's out there, it might be seller bundling the headphones with the player rather than Iriver themselves.
Oh and for £5.48 I wasn't expecting very good, just better than the usual rubbish you get with an mp3 player.All the World is a Stage; and I'm going through a difficult one at the moment!0 -
Thanks, i've been looking for a cheap pair of headphones so I dont have to use my (nice but quite expensive) Sony MDR's all the time when on the bus, etc...
These headphones will replace the Sennheiser MX300's I lost from when I originally got my iRiver

For musicians looking for low-cost in-ear monitoring headphones for stage use - I just found the Sennheiser IE4 set at https://www.handheldaudio.co.uk for £38 delivered. Recommended retail (whatever that means these days!) is about £65. They are pretty industry standard and are the ones supplied with most of the complete radio reciever systems out there. They will suit stage use much more than hi-fi options. They are 16ohm rather than 32ohm, which makes them much more efficient and they are really good on the lower frequency response that usually goes missing in hi-fi types. They are OEM versions at Handheld Audio but who cares? you chuck the packet away anyway right?
Don't have a radio sender system? neither do I. For guitarists, strap a headphone extension lead down your guitar lead and plug the headphones into that. Take a feed from you main or front of house mix (monitor send if you want mono) and bobs your auntie's husband! You can only wander as far as your guitar lead anyway, so why spend loads on a radio system?0 -
sorry for being thick but what does OEM mean?
I have had a pair of MX500 and they were good so when I saw the price I decided to get these as a spare set.
Paracaine was a bit worried when you said they aint that good just hope they turn out to be OK, but they are cheap, suppose it depends on the definition of good.:j0 -
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Usually used to denote a company X who makes things to be sold/branded as company Y. How the term actually is used has been blurred over the years.
In this context I suspect Sennheiser is the OEM who has made this headphones to be bundled with a personal MP3 player, rather than sold separately. However Unbeatable are selling them as OEM Sennheiser so you get the headphones, but without the fancy retail packaging.
MX300's won't be as good as MX500's. AFAIK they don't have such good bass or high frequency response, and won't include the inline volume control or cord winder. MX500's usually retail for around twice the price of MX300's, but the 300 is still a reasonable headphone that is better than most bundle earbuds.

The Sennheiser MX 3000 headphones have just been delivered and they are far better than the normal headphones supplied with MP3 players,for the price they are incredible value.0

It's the MX500's that I have and they are very poor compared to my Sony MDR-EX81's.
They are still better than most standard earphones though.0
