PX200 -They’re okay. Not Great. by zazu
After reading the reviews here, I was expecting better. Highs aren’t the best. They are comfortable though and if you’re not that critical regarding sound, they just might get the job done for you. The case is cool.
A Believer Since 2003 by Bulldozer
I got a pair of these headphones after feverishly searching for a solid pair of headphones that provided good sound and un-compromised reliability and portability. At that time when I got them in June of 2003, these headphones were brand new release from Sennheiser with maybe 2 reviews on Amazon at the time. I went with my gut instinct on a new product and bought them. They were something like $40 brand new at the time. It’s been 5 YEARS since and I still use them. Granted, the earpads are definitely aged with the vinyl coming apart. Sound sort of comes in and out of the left ear due to too much pulling and perhaps ripping of the cord. So now I only have sound coming through the right ear.
Sound? The sound is very clear for a portable headphone at this price-point. Above-average mid-range. Average highs. Mediocre low-range. Unfortunately, there is a lack of bass, which becomes more aware depending on the location of the earpads to your ear. 4/5
Portability? Heck yes. The best aspect of these headphones is its portability. Ingeniously designed and engineered has the earpads folding 90 degrees into a perpendicular shape against the headband. I’ve taken these on many airplane flights folded into its protective case. 5/5
Durability? Up till about February of 08, I had been using these headphones on an almost daily basis for 4 1/2 years. Throughout that time, there has been at least 30 times where I didn’t realize the cord was too short and tugged or pulled on the cord. I certainly didn’t expect them to last over 2 years with this constant abuse, but they did. Praise to the construction of the metal headband and solid hinges. 5/5
Drawbacks? the bass and the cord. It’d reallly help if the cord were an extra 6 inches in length due to my own experience. But for those with an ipod, the current length should do well. Those running off a computer may have a bit more fits with it. The bass does lack some punch. Which in order to improve would probably compromise the portability and engineering of the headphone.
Would I buy them again? In a heartbeat.
Remarkable for my use - Ipod ITouch by W. Scott
I researched headphones for about 3 weeks that were under $75 for my Ipod Itouch that I can use at home or away mainly watching videos and listening to MP3s with some infrequent travel on a plane. I chose the PX 200 based on reviews, features and the Sennheiser reputation.
I received the PX 200 about 3 days ago and was truly impressed. I watched 2 videos and the sound and experience was excellent. The video sound was clear and made the experience truly enjoyable. The headphones are very comfortable and after wearing them for 3 hours, forgot I had them on.
My music was exactly what I wanted - great separation, solid bass and the overall sound was excellent. The closed effects of the headphone does allow some external noise in but not enough to distract me and it is very quiet according to someone sitting next to me. The case is excellent and it really only took me one time and about 1 minute to figure it out. The case is a real plus.
Overall, I think the PX 200 is remarkable for the price, sound, ease of wearing and overall quality. If you are looking for an excellent headphone for under $75 that works extremely well with an Ipod or Itouch, I strongly recommend this.
Great buy for the money by J. Hillebrand
My husband and I bought two pairs for a two week trip to Italy. Other reviews said they became uncomfortable and/or were difficult to store in the case. My husband and I both disagree. The design allowed for decent noise cancellation (we used them on planes, trains and hydrofoils) and the reverse problem of other people hearing our music was completely eliminated. My husband had his turned way up and I could never hear it even sitting next to him. We were pleased with the sound quality as well for a variety of music from classical to rock (with punk, ska and blues in between). My husband used his a lot more than I did and for probably up to 4 hours at a time without them getting uncomfortable. It took a little thought at first to get them back into the case but once we did it, it made sense and it was more convenient to store in our luggage.
