Not just for air travelers and joggers,
I was looking for phones that would pack plenty of punch without sacrificing any of the qualities of their full-grown, ostentatious siblings. Anyone who’s even moderately serious about headphones knows that the smallest improvements come at a price. In the case of these phones, the cost is easily justified. I’ve compared them with several portables in the $5-10 range along with some full-sized models weighing in at $50-100. Conclusion: these are worthy of being your “front-line,” and perhaps only, pair of phones. They’re up to the task of distinguishing each of the instruments in a jazz rhythm section or reproducing the spacious quality of an entire string section. The treble is distinct and “alive”; the bass is, if anything, more than I require (and the PX 200′s are supposedly the bass-heavy models). Comfort? They feel the same as any $2 pair of portable headphones–until the music begins, at which point “wearability” is not even an issue.
Be forwarned that no 1/4″ adapter is included. Apparently Sennheiser wants consumers to view these as strictly low-end phones suitable only for connection to a portable CD player. Nonsense. My only real disappointment thus far is the awkwardness of folding and fitting the headphones back into their hard case. If I can get this down to 60 seconds or under, I’ll probably revise my rating upward.

|Great sound at a cheap price isn’t necessarily cheap,
If I were only reviewing the sound quality of these headphones I’d give them 5 stars. If I were only reviewing the comfort of these headphone I’d give them 5 stars. After all, I’ve bought three sets of them I liked the sound and comfort so much. The problem is, that it was three sets in less than 18 months…
All of them failed in the same way: the right channel just crapped out from a cheap cord design. The first set I chalked it up to me not treating them right. The second set I was a bit angry about but I decided to try the warranty replacement. Unfortunately, I was dumb enough to buy a 3rd pair while waiting on the very slow warranty service, which wound up replacing them with a completely different model of headphone to add insult to the whole process.
Well, yesterday, in spite of my gentlest treatment yet, set #3 crapped out in the right channel after only 4 months. That’s it, I’m not wasting any more money on these headphones and I recommend the same to everyone else.

|Wow!,
I bought these to go with my new iPod, and all I can say is “wow”. I can’t believe these headphones cost under $50. The folding action is very convenient, and the case that comes with it is top-notch. These sound warm and full, amazing for a lightweight set of headphones. They are the perfect complement for the iPod or any other portable device. Not quite as comfy as my Sony cirumaurals, but they fold up into a neat little case.
