(nov,2018)If you prefer bass sound more than surely go for it.all over better than any other in its segment like sony and mi etc.more tone of trable is notified.
Edited: (11sept, 2020)
Build: lasted almost 1.2 year, then one stopped. Both stopped at 1.8 year.
But i had used roughly in start for 6 months otherwise it would have lasted more properly. Thin wires are there, but externally looks delicate inside it's as strong as realme,jbl and sony.
Sound quality: tried jbl c100si, boat basshead 225 and sony mdras210, and sony ex155ap,150ap. But compared to all these, Sennheiser sounded too better in balanced sound output. (Bass quality) Base is there, but bass is different thing as it has 20 hz lowest frequency not for typical bass lovers. But sony muffles the base and bass often with vocals and mids, these performes better.
CONS: AT 100 percent volume as it is for balanced sound it happened to throw more treble which no-one will like. But if u have equilizer in your device then not at all to worry (i dnt have that's why it caused problem). But must to mention that it doesn't distort still at full volume.
At lowest volume even the performance is heavenly. Every boat that i tried happened to throw so much irritating bass even in vocals and happened to change every music instrument sound because of too bass focused. So dnt buy boat at all. ( But if you don't knw and understand sound signature and cannot differentiate between good and bad then buy boat , because boat has 4.3 rating which is given by typical Indian music lovers who doesn't understand the quality and what is bass. They just want cheap bass)
If your budget is high for 1500 i suggest to try sony xb55 or xb55ap because it has bass with balanced sound.
Price: i bought this at 550 so it's too worthy believe me. Don't even buy 1000 rupees handset it's better than all except xb55 sony.
Now i purchased it again today at 729. This model is stopped by company and has launched cx213 which is available at flipkart. (Don't buy tht, because in build quality cx180 is better)
Amazon should not hype price of model which is not manufactured by company any more, only because it's only available here. But still this price is worthy to givr for cx180.
One thing to remember it doesn't have mic, but still i re purchased it only because without mic handset is durable than with mic handset. If mic is necessary than go for another Sennheiser handsfree , otherwise it's good.So take care of what u need.
Comfort: it's too comfortable. U will forget it is anything there in ears. So it's best. It has L shaped jack which is nice compared to other competitors. (L shaped jack is muct in today's time). Also it doesn't have angled eartip so if by accident u strech it, it will not break and will just fall from ears, so it's one of the pros.
Before coming to comparison one important thing is it has 2 years warranty better, but anyway as u can see in my latest images rupper coating of joint and downside the earbuds teared off in one year only and they don't claim warranty for physically damaged piece. But if u care properly then ok. But not at all this rupper coating will last for 2 years (in dream , no matter how u care). But i must mention if your handset is not damaged physically I ve heard that after sale service is excellent as u would expect from premium brand. But not buy only because it has two year warranty it's of no use.
Along with that no matter which wired handset u buy of 500 or 2000. It will last maximum 1.5 or 1 year, be it sony or boat. In rare cases I've seen some lasting for 2 years and even more.
Comparison:
Boat basshead 225: i returned that just before the day after trying it, too much bass. Doesn't deliver quality sound at all. Only typical bass lovers of india may like this irritating bass. (Similar to ubon handsfree of 150 rupees)
Jbl c100si: I've listened songs in that so many times. It's better in bass compared to cx180. But cannot produce premium balanced sound. But it has mic so one plus point. Mine lasted for 1.2 years.
They don't reveal driver size or frequency, so i don't like it.
Sony ex155/ex150:
Better in bass, but can handle mids and vocals better than jbl c100si.good byt price is over hyped wait for sale.
Realmebuds 2:
I had purchased when my right earbud stopped working but returned at the same time. Build quality impressive but anyway major downside like jbl , doesn't have L shaped jack. Even not gold plated. Otherwise overall good. For mixture of everything mids , vocals and highs. It sounded well than what i had expected.
Overall ratings : out of 10

Jbl c100si and other models- 8.5
Boat basshead 225/220 (both are same don't confuse): 9

Sort guide:
For bass jbl c100si or ex155. If budget is 1500 must buy xb55 sony (wait for sale , don't buy for 2000 not tht much worthy)
For balanced sound but cx180 only. If mic is needed then go for jbl and then sony.
Overall performance and features wise realme buds2 is better. As it has mic but not so premium sound.
If mic and too heavy bass is not priority then cx180 is the best as conclusion.
