 Buy these headphones if you know what's good for you August 29, 2008
E. Kalagian (Seattle, WA USA)
I have been listening to a variety of music every day through iPods, CD Walkmans etc. for years, and these are my favorite headphones that I've ever tried.
The quality of both treble and bass that they offer for their small and lightweight design is remarkable.
Initially I was concerned that they would be fragile due to the folding capability, but they're actually quite stable.
Two of my friends own a pair of these, and they love them as well.
They are so nice that my sister had only listened to one song with them before she asked me to order her a pair.
The first pair I ordered came defective from the box, but amazon was very good about returning them and sending me a new set at no additional charge.
Buy these headphones if you know what's good for you.
I LOVE these headphones August 29, 2008

For an inexpensive pair of headphones, these have stunning sound production.
I had tried a pair of PX200's and sent them back immediately (hated the overly bright, buzzy sound). These are far more subtle, and I am hearing things in the classical pieces playing on my iPod that I'm not sure I heard when listening to them on a stereo system. Gives the iPod an entirely new sound dimension. FYI, I purchased the black headset but am curious to try the white model.
I ride a commuter train everyday, these make the trip so much better August 29, 2008
D. Halfacre (Evanston, IL)
Just a little background, I hate ear buds. I have tried several types, but haven't ever found anything that would stay in my ears properly. I've even tried the types that come with numerous ear bud attachments. They all were terrible for me. So I've been suffering for a while.
Then I decided to take a chance on these. They are great!!!. I use them mainly on my MP3 player that I listen to on my commute to work and at work. Very nice!!. I have a bald head, and those pads serve to protect me which is great as well. MP3's are usually stripped down versions of music, so I've also used them with my desktop PC for gaming. They are AMAZING!!. I know $40 seems like a lot to pay, but trust me if you listen to headphones at least one hour a day you'll feel like it was money well spent.
 Great value but cord a bit short August 26, 2008
R. Cullen (Petaluma, CA USA)
The Sennheiser PX100 headphones sound great and work well if used with an mp3 player or other portable device. At 4.5 feet the cord is about a foot too short, in my opinion. My computer has the sound plug in back, so I need another 12 to 18 inches to gaze comfortably at the screen.
PX 100 is the Way to Go August 26, 2008

If you're looking to buy quality headphones at a cheaper price- look no further, these little babies are certainly worth it. I bought mine two and a half years ago, and they are still lasting perfectly fine- just one single pair lasting more than TWO YEARS! That has to say something about the higher quality of Sennheiser. I know one of the reviews says that they went through 3 pairs in 18 months- must have had a run of really bad luck with defective pairs (or handled them carelessly).
I am an extremely heavy music listener. I have my headphones on A LOT. I take them everywhere with me- on road trips, on long walks, for watching movies on the computer, on the way to and from work and school, and these PX 100s have NEVER failed me. I use to go through 2 to 3 pairs a year, but not anymore. You have to use common sense and treat them well, they are only going to last as long as you take care of them. They come with a storage case, use it and they should perform fine for a long time as they have for me.
If you have never heard better sound quality in headphones and have been sticking with the cheaper $20 and less pairs, you will be in for quite a treat. And you will most likely never want to listen to the cheaper headphones again (I sure don't). I know they are not the $500 pair of studio headphones, but they are a HUGE step up from the cheapos you see people everywhere using- people who have no idea just how valuable good sound is.
I listen to a very wide range of music- from opera to metal, ethnic fusion to movie soundtracks, and R&B to even a tiny bit of country, and these headphones really improve each song I listen to- it's like they let these songs breathe much freer. I can hear aspects of songs I never even knew were there (because of listening through cheap headphones).
Don't go back to the $20 headphones, these Sennheisers are worth every penny. I'm actually very surprised that they are sold for this cheap. Once these finally stop working (I'm starting to wonder just how far into the future that will be), I will certainly come back to Sennheiser, maybe even buy another pair of PX 100s, but Sennheiser is IT.
