 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
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
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.
Excellent value August 25, 2008
For the money this is an excellent piece of equipment. I use them with the laptop and the sound quality is very good, by far the best of those of in the same price range that I have tried; a rich sound with a good sonorous bass and a clear treble. Add to that the fact that they are very comfortable to wear and light in weight, you almost forget you're wearing them.
Connected to my NAD hi-fi they can be somewhat overwhelmed unless the volume is kept down. They work very well with my Pure DAB tuner and here cope better with higher volume levels. I also use them with the Yamaha digital piano and they are every bit as good as the heavy set that came with the piano.
However it is for use with the laptop that I primarily bought them, and for such I think you will have to go a long way to find better at the price.
