 "Clever design, good sound, no privacy" | 2010-07-20 |

| I hate to criticize these headphones because they're ingeniously designed to fold up and slip in the hard shell case, and the sound is very good. But people near you can hear what you're listening to (even at normal sound levels), and ambient noise filters in easily. If you're planning to be in a quiet place alone when you use it, buy it. |

 "Excellent Price to Performance" | 2010-07-12 |

I have owned the PX100s for about 3 months now and am wearing them off and on all day at work, every day. While they lose to my Sennheiser HD650s on every other point their sound quality for this price range is *fantastic*! If you like relatively bass-heavy music and don't want to be bothered with a headphone amp then these should be about right. I had never heard this much bass response in un-amped, inexpensive, headphones before without noticeable distortion. The carrying case with these is very well thought out and convenient. I will say that I can only wear them for an hour or two at a time before ear fatigue starts kicking in. A handful of my friends also own these phones and claim that they can wear them all day... My ears stick out from my head more than most though.
Pros: Sound quality (especially bass), easily driven by an iPhone (no amp required), plug is extremely narrow for fitting through odd PMP cases.
Cons: Supra-Aural (they sit directly against your ears), appear moderately fragile, look kind of cheap, flimsy cable |

 "Broke too easily" | 2010-06-08 |

| These sounded fine and were reasonably comfortable. But the connector to my computer broke after only a few months of use and was not fixable so it was money thrown out. |

| It is a nice earphone.. superb sound quality, nice look... But the wire was broken after one year. It was not heavily used. Most of the time I use it at home/work. Such a pity.. everything is still perfectly fine except the wire near the jack:((( |

| "Great sound quality, but they just don't last" | 2010-05-30 |

I've now owned 2 pair of these headphones. First off, I would like to compliment Sennheiser on the sound quality. These phones are crisp, plenty loud, and have surprisingly powerful bass. The clarity allows you to notice details in albums that cheap ear-buds never would.
But despite the great sound quality and reasonable price, I do not intend on buying another pair. Why? Because (as other reviewers have experienced) these headphones just seem built to last. Eventually, the right channel died in both pair I owned. The first pair lasted me a year, which, while frustrating, I was willing to look past. The second pair, though, only lasted four months. I took great care of these headphones, always storing them in their hard protective case. The problem seems to be where the cord attaches to the plug-in; I was able to get snippets of sound out of the right ear by wriggling the cord around at this spot. Unless you're willing to buy a new pair every few months or so, I would look elsewhere. |

| These were great headphones as long as they lasted but the thin wire eventually broke after a few years from putting them in and out of the case and the price of the price has doubled since I first purchased them. |
