Sennheiser PX 100 Consumer Headphones

Pros: Great sound, comfortable, collapsable
Cons: Earphone covers prone to coming off

Commuting to work by train has some advantages: reading the newspaper (before they all go out of business), catching up on e-mail and other work functions, thinking about Epinions to write, etc.  Listening to other people's often loud and frequently ...

Pros: Excellent sound, relatively compact form.
Cons: Background noise leak-in, iffy comfort, dated look.

The Sennheiser PX-100 has been in my stable of portable headphones for about a year now, and have proven to me on many occasions that they were indeed a worthy addition. They offer much more than acceptable sound quality for their size and their ...

Pros: Good balanced sound with tight bass, light weight, compact, comfortable fit
Cons: No sound isolation, foam earpiece covers may not last

I'm never quite happy with the headphones I have for portable use. They're either too heavy, don't fit comfortably, or don't sound quite right. I have several different styles - all different brands - but I'm always open to try again. Unfortunately with ...

Pros: Very portable, well priced, high quality sound
Cons: None that i've noticed

Note, if you’ve already read my review of the PX200’s, this review is virtually identical since t ...

Pros: comfort, punchy lively sound without excess tonal exaggeration, one of the best at the price
Cons: leaks a lot of sound, provides zero noise isolation

The Sennheiser PX-100 is an inexpensive open-air headphone designed for portable use. This is a folding headphone, which comes with a nifty hard plastic case. To use the case, the headphone earpads fold flat. And you bend the headband at two joints. ...

Pros: Bass response, Style, Price
Cons: Sound Quality, Comfort

After all the rave reviews on the Sennheiser PX 100 headphones I decided to buy them. I compared them with the iAudio ear buds, iPod ear buds and low cost Philips headphones. The Sennheiser blew away both ear buds and sounded much better than the ...

Pros: Foldable, portable, carry-case with cable manager, efficient.
Cons: Somewhat flimsy cable, price is a bit too high.

Unlike their closed sibling, the PX200, Sennheiser PX100 are actually a clean-sounding pair of headphones. Overall sound presentation is a tad blurry, as with most "mini" headphones of this price category. Bass is a bit too strong (girlfriend's first ...

Pros: Good sound quality, compact, folding, light weight, comfortable, inexpensive
Cons: Bad distortion if you drive the bass to excessively high levels

While these headphones are not flawless they are quite good for the money (under $30). The sound quality is good, far better than many other under $50 headphones I've listened to. Some people say the even sound better than some $200 headphones. It's ...

Pros: Light-weight, foldable, sound quality
Cons: Low frequency response, filtering of outside noise

Looking for a high-quality, well-priced, semi-portable, and outstanding sound reproduction? Look no further... General description: Sennheiser may be a difficult name to pronounce, but the PX 100 headphones are not difficult to enjoy. A unique ...

Pros: Extraordinary sound, exceptional comfort.
Cons: Don't look like much. Construction appears flimsy (but is actually very robust).

Aurally unacceptable and physically uncomfortable the awful ipod earbuds had to go. No audiophile, I've nonetheless owned several headphones, did a fair bit of web research and asked around. The AKG K26P, Sennheiser PX100 and Koss PortaPro seemed the ...

Pros: Metal Construction
Sturdy
Great Sound Quality
Head and Ear Padding
Folding Design
Cons: Long cord.
Bose is better, but more expensive.

These headphones are inexpensive, they sound great, are much more durable than they look on pictures, and are very portable for over-the-ear headphones. Usually headphones that are over the ear have to be put on your neck, or in a bag somewhere, where ...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, well made, folds into supplied case, modest price.
Cons: None really.

The Sennheiser PX100 is a compact headphone at a budget price of about 30 pounds in the UK (about $50). It has a party trick whereby it folds up and fits into a small plastic case that is about the same size as a spectacles case. The main band is made from stainless steel sheathed in plastic, and comes in three sections joined by metal hinges in the same manner as spectacles. The earphones also turn through 90 degrees to aid storage. The overall finish and build quality seem excellent and the unit should last as long as it is not abused. Where the headphone scores highly is its sound quality, which is excellent. While not in the same league as my Sennheiser HD600 (costing about $400), it easily walked over my Sony MDR-V300 (costing about $50), providing significantly more detail and depth. The PX100 also walked over the headphones supplied with my Creative Zen Micro MP3 player: the difference was massive, and anyone using the supplied headphones is missing out big time. This is an excellent headphone, and highly recommended for use with portable audio devices such as MP3 players.

Pros: Great sound quality, good price, allows some outside noise.
Cons: Perhaps somewhat on the flimsy side.

A friend gave me a pair of these as a gift and they're fantastic. I've given them as gifts to others and everyone loves them. This model is good for me because it allows some outside sound in so that my colleagues at work can get my attention if they need to. The sound quality is amazing.

Pros: Excellent sound quality and construction.
Cons: Unusual folding style, but you'll get used to it.

As the title sells, these headphones sound superb, delivering excellent audio quality at all points of the spectrum ... bass, midrange and treble. They have a unique folding design which takes a bit of getting used to ... you may feel like you're doing one of those chain link puzzles when you first attempt to fold it properly to get it back in its case, but after a few times, you'll get used to it. The construction itself is solid and surprisingly tolerant of accidental abuse. The whole set is light enough, comfortable, with well-constructed vinyl-covered foam pads placed in good locations at the top. The speaker pads themselves are the standard, coarse-cell foam pads, but are well attached. Cord is about four feet long, of standard quality, shaped like a "Y" descending from the bottom of the headphone speakers to a junction about one foot below.

Pros: Crisp Highs, low-low rumbling bass, very satisfying and comfortable.
Cons: None worth noting. Just very good value.

I bought these for my Ipod, to provide more frequency responce than the supplied buds.
Sennheiser just makes fine products, and this is probably the leader among portable mimi cans comparing very closely to the old trusty Koss Porta-Pro. Strong frame, clever folding technique, lightweight, and great value for money.

Pros: Comfortable, Folding Action
Cons: Sound Quality Is Not Good, Expensive/Poor Value, Not Durable

These PX100s are designed for those who want a portable headphone that is comfortable, comes with a folding action and does not care to play music loudly. If you want more you may want to look elsewhere. The sound quality is poor for the asking price. These have solid bass, but there is no clarity in these headphones, and drop out at around 17,000KHz, which is where most $10-20 headphones are placed. Also, the mid-range seems very "airy" and unnatural, which gives off a bad sound when listening to rap. Also the right speaker blew easily when only listening to these at 70% volume. Most speakers can handle just the 100%. The PX100s are massively overrated in my opinion and you can easily find something of better quality without having to spend much more or anymore at all.

Pros: Decent sound. Compact.
Cons: For the price, none.

The first time I saw or heard of these was in a hi-fi store in London, I gave them a quick audition: five minutes later I was the proud owner of a pair of PX-100s.

By any standards the sound quality is decent. I would rate their sound quality as 4 out of 5 in absolute terms. And given their size and price, that is very impressive.

Their sound quality is decent in all departments: bass extension and control, midrange and treble sweetness, detail and transparency, imaging. This results in a balanced sound enjoyable with many genres of music, and able to reveal different recording qualities without being harsh.

They are fairly comfortable, so longer listening sessions are possible.

Highly recommended for those who don't want bulkier headphones and those with limited funds.

Pros: Excellent sound reproduction without artifacts Included carrying case, foldable design
Cons: A tad expensive for portable phones

If you're looking for good portable headphones and aren't into ear-buds, you could do much worse than to give a pair of PX-100's a listen. Their sound is crisp and clear with excellent bass reproduction for their size/weight. The cord is good & long (some might actually consider it too long for mobile use). They seem to require no burn-in time, so if you audition them at the store, you can be reasonably certain of their sound before taking them home. The included carrying case takes a little figuring to use, but once you get it it provides excellent protection. I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD-477 and the PX-100's compare very favourably. They blow my old MX-400 ear buds out of the water.

Pros: Crisp sound, warm bass...extremely comfortable
Cons: They don't offer the retro's in the USA...!!!

I have owned these headphones for 2 days and I believe that taking them away from me could possibly cause me to go into shock. I have never in my life been so completely satisfied with a product such as these. I own a pair of AKG K-240's and these remind me of those...Clean crisp sound, nice warm bass, and super comfy. I am using them with my Ipod and they are simply superb. It's extremely rare nowadays to actually get a quality product for under $40. You won't be disappointed....

Pros: Sound quality, Comfort, Construction & Price
Cons: There are none

After reading reviews in Epinions and a few other sites I decided to go an buy a pair of PX 100 phones for my iPod mini. In a word - WOW! They sound great.

I purchased my first pair of Sennheiser headphones over 20 years ago and know that they make quality products. The PX 100 will hold their own with any of the so called studio phones out there.

The sound quality, comfort and price will make the PX 100 the standard for portable headphones. They come in white to match the Apple iPod line. Included is a neat hard plastic carry case. Look just go buy a pair, I assure you that you will not regret it.

Pros: Sound Quality, Inexpensive
Cons: No good for jogging/running

For only forty bucks, you can get a glimpse of high end sound. The most common misconception about good sound is the bass. Good bass isn't the bloated, boom-boom-boom you hear coming out of a car stereo. Good bass reproduction is tight & tuneful, and these $40 headphones get the bass right. The small headband means that these headphones will not stay in place while jogging/running.
