Summary: very disappointed
Review: After waiting for a week for this product it arrived from J&R Music World broken. The right earpiece did not work. I contacted J&R and they will take it back, but it is going to take another week to get to the store, then they will ship a replacement at normal shipping times. I asked if they would expediate the shipping but the company refused. I am now looking at a minimum of three weeks after ordering (probably closer to four) before I receive another set. I may try and order these again (lots of positive reviews) but I will try from a different vendor.

Summary: great, affordable headphones
Review: Honestly one of the most comfortable, well-balanced, and affordable headphones out there. They're an open design so it doesn't block out all outside noise, but I don't mind cuz if I wanted that I'd buy huge eggos to fit half my head. The sound of this is full and warm, and has a nice compact design...ideal for me!

Summary: The one thing I own that I will never, ever regret buying!
Review: I am a total nitpick. Everything has to be perfect for me. After researching headphones on cnet.com for days and days and inspecting frequency ranges, etc, I decided to go with these. Probably the best choice I've ever made in my life. Since I've owned them, one of the arms stopped "clicking". I wrote Sennheiser an email, expecting them not to care. BOY WAS I WRONG! They not only sent me replacement parts but a softcase (much better than the included hardcase) AND airplane/ 1/4inch adapters! It's true that these have to "break in". I've had these for almost half a year. After about a month, I began realizing how good they sound. Now I can't stand listening to other people's headphones: They all sound like crap. I take them everywhere I go. If I lost them I wouldn't hesitate to buy new ones. I'm listening to Hey Jude on my PX-100's right now. And trust me, if you want to have people go "WOW those sound SO GOOD!" GET THESE 'PHONES RIGHT NOW! Throw away those crappy iPod earbuds and reward yourself with the PX-100's. You'll never go back. Note: Don't buy the PX-200's, the open ear design of the PX-100's enriches the sound (though it lets surrounding sound in) AND the 100's have better high's at virtually no cost in the bass department, resulting in a very warm, life like sound. Don't worry, they have VERY serious bass thump. Just wait for it to "mature" for a couple weeks. GREAT JOB SENNHEISER!!!

Summary: My new favorite headphones
Review: I am a true audiophile so audio quality was of utmost importance, but I also wanted a smaller type of headphones since I don't like walking around in my Beyerdynmics or Grados... I am also wearing glasses so comfort is important. After several days of listening to the PX100 I must say that they satisfy all my requirements - incredible sound for the price and size, small and very comfortable, and even look good!
I give them 4 stars for two main reasons: 1) the connector is not gold plated - for Sennheiser I would expect this. And 2) the frequency response is not very flat (the lows are raised to high) so these will probably not sound very good unless you equalize, but most audio gadgets today have an equalizer.
Finally, a word of advice: don't judge these headphones as soon as you get them, let them burn in for several hours.

Summary: Excellent, flawless product
Review: I am not the type who spends time to write reviews because I feel that a product should deliver what it's manufacturer advertises, but when the product surpasses all your expectations, it is anoter story altogether.
I have used these headphones for 5 months now. I am so pleased with them that I have actually bought another pair. Everything from the rugged case, the actual headphones and even the packing is exceptional. The sound quality is out of the world. These are the first headphones that deliver crystal clear bass-which is the most important component of music since any tin cup can screech out loud high frequency sounds, but bass is difficult to reproduce accurately. You will hear sounds that you never thought were there in your music all these days.
The headphones themselves are rugged. They are connectedby thin cables but I now know that they are very strong and durable. Considering the size and looks of these headphones, it is actually difficult to believe that they are so good.
Do yourself a favor. Pick these up today, and experience your music-not just listen it.

Summary: Comfortable, Portable, and Great Sounding
Review: I am pleased with these headphones for many reasons, all of which have been said already. First, they are very comfortable. The cans themselves have a ball and socket type action that comfortably flexes over the ears. There is also vinyl(?) padding on the top where the band goes over the head. The two wires going to the cans could be tightened closer to the chin to keep them secured. I took these running (not jogging, hard fast running) and they stayed on comfortably without coming off. Very lightweight. When not in use, they can fold up like sunglasses and be stored in the very stylish hard carrying case it comes with. There is a marking "#1" and "#2" for which side to fold in first, and braile like dots on the left side to help you orientate them. In regards to sound quality, these are as great as headphones this size get. Sounds good out of the box, and even better after a little regular use. My only complaint is that the bass is unexpectedly strong (but warm) sometimes, and the highs could be a little sharper. No big deal though, there is an EQ on every kind of gadget, computer, stereo, car and so on. Those are the features that sold me, but these headphones lack some things, like a gold plated connector. It does look kind of flimsy for being so lightweight, but I expect that Sennheiser's renowned quality is solid yet decieving in this case. I would have also liked it to have only one wire on one side going to the headphones (less cluttered). Eventually, the foam cups will wear out and become torn with use, and it looks like it would be strange trying to replace them. They give me very slight squeeze head, but nothing like cheap headphones that come with CD players. Finally, they're not noise cancelling, and you can hear things around you, which is good or bad, depending on what you want. When loud enough, a person sitting next to you can hear the sound too. On my ipod mini, I can hear the sound audibly when I hold the headphones in my hand with the volume on maximum. Overall, I say 4.5* because it balances comfort, portability and sound quality so well. I went through many head/earphones before I found this, the best replacement for my ipod mini.

Summary: No EQ Needed!!!
Review: I bought the PX 100s on impulse after a positive review at headphone.com. I have been using the Koss PortaPro headphones with my Creative Zen Xtra so that is my point of reference. The Senheisers are a bit more laid back in both the bass and the treble but to my ears have a more "natural" presentation. I really like the Koss PortaPros but the bass is a bit overblown and I EQ it down just a little bit to keep the midrange from getting tubby. The Senheisers are a bit on the warm side but the bass is in better proportion and sounds fine without any equalization. Rockers might like the Koss headphones better because there is bit more edge in the treble as well as a fatter bass but that same sound can be dialed in with the Senheisers also if that is the sound you want. I think that voices have a more natural sound with the PX 100s. I burned them in overnight after receiving them from amazon.com yesterday and like other headphones they opened up compared to my listening after opening the box. It seems that the bass tightened up also. They are comfortable to wear also. The Senheiser PX 100s and the Koss PortaPros are both great choices for portable audio--Just a bit different.

Summary: Highly recommended as iPod earbud replacement!
Review: I bought these headphones as a replacement for the earbuds that came with my 4th generation iPod (20GB). I'm very glad I did, as these are much nicer:
1) The sound quality of these is a huge imporovement over the earbuds. I can actually tell the difference in MP3 bitrate quality with these, where before I could not.
2) The headphones are also much more comfortable. I could only wear the earbuds for an hour or so before I had to readjust them or take them out because they would hurt my ears. These headphones are very comfortable and you'll forget that they're even on your head-- that's how comfortable they are.
3) The headphones are "open air" which means that sound from outside can still easily reach your ears. Before if someone would say something to me I would have to take out the earbuds to be able to hear them. Now, I can hear everything almost as well as if I didn't have them on.
Another thing I really like about them is the they are full-sized headphones, but they can be folded up and carried in your pocket. This is very important to me since I use them mainly for my iPod (and my laptop on occasion).
The bottom line is this: these are teriffic headphones and they're a great value for what you pay. If you're looking for a replacement for your iPod earbuds, these are the headphones for you.

Summary: Unbeatable for the money
Review: I bought these headphones based on some online reviews I had seen and decided to take a punt on them. Admittedly, I am a long time Sennheiser owner so I had some idea what to expect, but I have been pleaseantly surprised with their quality. I look for the following in a pair of headphones (in order): sound quality, comfort, lack of ear fatigue, sturdy construction and price. For the money, the PX-100's are absolutely fantastic. I was surprised and pleased with their audio quality. They sounds fairly neutral at the top end and in the mid range, with some subtle boost in the bass. I mainly listen to them with my iPod and they are a good match. Another good point is how light and comfortable they are to wear. Most of the time I barely notice I have them on. Very low ear fatigue when listening for extended periods as well.
If I have a complaint, it's that I wonder how long they'll last. They seem a little flimsy, but I've had no problems yet, so maybe I'm jumping the gun. As a "value proposition", I haven't seen anything better. They really do represent the best bang for the buck that I've seen on cans at this price point.
