Between the left and right ‘buds, all the obvious stuff - ‘play / pause’, ‘answer / end / reject call’, ‘skip forwards / backwards’, ‘volume up / down’ and ‘summon voice assistant’ – is catered for. Still, the sizable Bluetooth earbuds means there’s plenty of room for a capacitive touch surface, and the Sennheisers prove very simple and responsive to operate. All this relative bulk makes the 20 hours’ all-in battery life of the CX400BT a bit of a disappointment. The charging case is equally prosaic in its materials, and at 59 x 34 x 42mm and 37g (when empty) it’s no shrinking violet either.
Despite the rather ungainly appearance, though, and the unpromising 6g-per-earbud weight, the CX400BT remain secure and comfortable for hours on end. But the plastics from which they’re constructed don’t feel anything special, and they’re chunky enough to sit proud of the wearer’s ears when they’re in place. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the way the CX400BT are made. Sennheiser doesn’t so much ‘design’ a product as ‘put all the necessary components inside a housing’ – and it’s safe to say that ‘design’ doesn’t seem to have been any more of a consideration with the CX400BT than with any other product in the Sennheiser catalogue. Responsive (and customizable) touch controls.
