 As good as the Bose Triports at a 1/4 the price! November 17, 2008
I bought these headphones about a year ago, and I love 'em. I needed a headset to replace my ipod earbuds---hated those. I did some research thinking I'd go Bose Tri-ports or JBL reference headphones. I stumbled on to Sennheizers at a Circuit City web site....I decided maybe $180 for Bose headphones at this time is not that good of an idea. I gambled on these and I 've never regretted it. The PX100's have excellent sound. Deep bass, great middles and great highs. These are also light enough to wear at work or while working out. I'm not the most gentle with 'em but they keep truckin'. When the time comes to replace these I will just get another set of PX100's!
Good traditional type headphones for the gym November 17, 2008
I replaced a Philips set of in-ear headphones with these based on previous reviews and I'm happy with my choice. I like some Bass and these provide it (compared to the normal iPod buds for example). I find them easy to fold.
I have been using these while running on the treadmill for about 6 months now and they stay in place (the iPods fall out on me:-) ).
Great headphones November 11, 2008
After buying an Ipod Nano, I wanted a pair of headphones that would sound great but easily fold up for portability. These headphones fit the bill.
Unfortunately for me, I can't wear ear buds or any kind of in-ear headphones as I find them uncomfortable and difficult to keep in place. At the same time, I didn't want bulky headphones that would be a pain to carry around. This purchase was the perfect answer!
The Sennheiser PX 100 sound crisp and clear and fold up easily, taking up little space when I travel. They're easy to work out in and carry around and the price I got was great. Buy them. You'll be glad you did!
The One November 9, 2008
I would hazard a guess that this is the most reviewed headphone on Amazon, by far (700+ and counting to date). At the risk of overkill, I feel compelled to add my voice to the chorus of praise.
I have used this for over a month consistently and I think I know its characteristics fairly well by now. Simply put, the PX 100 is the best bang for the buck that you can find (I paid less than 40 USD on Amazon) in portable headphones, if you care at all about sound quality of the music you listen to. Besides the 100 I also have a Grado 60, Senns 212, 280, 555, 580 a few IEM's such as Etymotic and Senns 300. Right now, the px 100 is my favorite pair of cans of them all, not because it sounds the best (the Senns 580 takes the honor for that) but because it is the most well balanced and does it for less, sometimes way less, than all the rest. It is very transparent, has lots of air, with reasonably tight bass, neutral mids and open trebles. It will sound great on all kinds of music (I listen to mostly classical and acoustic jazz but also some pop)straight out of the box, although it does benefit from break ins like all headphones, and is very comfortable to wear. The hard plastic carrying case is also neat and durable, though folding the phones does take a little practice. Bottom line, if you are looking for a pair of open air cans, you cannot do better for the price.
A four bagger, no, make that a grand slam, for Sennheiser.
Best Portable Headphones I've ever heard November 8, 2008
This is an early review. I've had these for about a week. First off, I would not consider myself an audiophile. I've never listened to $300+ headphones or anything. I have owned a lot of different headphones in the $20 to $50 range and these are by far the best sounding phones I've ever used. They are very comfortable too. I use them in my home and office. The open style is good so I can hear my wife when she needs to get my attention or when my kids wake up from a nap. In the office someone just needs to speak to get my attention and the best thing is then I'm not disturbing them (I'm not in a cubicle). That is the hitch though. If you are somewhere noisy like a coffee shop you're going to hear everything around you and everyone else is going to hear your music. I use some Phillips ear buds that I like for those settings. I am very happy with the sound quality of these headphones. The bass isn't overpowered, the highs and mids are clear and I've notice as they're breaking in the depth of the sound is improving. Highly recommended if you're not looking for something that will keep outside noise.
