Advantages: Sound Quality, Price Disadvantages: Short cable, not noise cancelling
...at least £50.
The Sennheiser PX 100's are regarded by most HiFi enthusiasts as the best headphones of their kind under £50. They even beat a lot of headphones just under the £100 price mark. That is something special for a £35 pair of headphones.
So What is that is really so good about them, why do all the HI-FI journalists purr about them?. I'll tell you why.
These headphones have extraordinary bass performance for headphones so small. It's clear, ... ...a pair of headphones from Sennheiser which are the noise cancelling version of these ones. They are not quite as good in the sound department but if you value noise cancelling then those are worth a try.
As I mentioned earlier you can pick up a new pair of these Sennhesier headphones for about £20 and that is a real bargain because even the full price of £35 is great value and anyone who knows anything about headphones know the reputation Sennheiser ...

Advantages: Crystal clear playback, comfortable to wear, low price, long lasting, plays back bass brilliantly Disadvantages: None
...for a set of black Sennheiser PX100 headphones was quite reasonable considering proper Apple headphones can cost upwards of £20.
What can I say about the way the headphones look that can’t be gathered from the picture above? Not much really. As you can see, the adjustable head strap keeps them secure to your head, with the fit being rather snug. There are not plastic bits that stick out into your head which is nice. I recall my first Walkman headphones ... ...stereo, I would suggest you wander on over the Sennheiser website, Amazon or eBay and pick up a pair of the PX100s. They are built to last and will improve your listening experience without annoying people around you. A set of headphones then for the music lover with a conscience. ...

Truly outstanding - there is no bass better than this for any headphones under 100 pounds and there is definitely no better bass in this price range. It uses special patent pending technology to create this awesome experience (bass damping and baffling I believe). The rest of the sound range is of a similarly high caliber, and there is no tinny or muddy noise here. You'll have to break in the headphones (blast some music out of them for a while) ... ...to my friend anyway. There is also no distortion, thanks to the neodymium magnets. === Comfort === This aspect is probably the only one that I think needs improvement - but that's what the PX200's are for. It fits comfortably on your head and the earcups fit reasonably well. They are rather flat so it will not be the best fit, and personally I find closed designs like the PX200 better and more efficient at canceling background noise. However, it ...

Advantages: Value, sound, durability, ease-of-transport Disadvantages: You can't wear a hat over it
I was looking for some new headphones to go with my iPod and I was inclined towards getting some Sennheisers. I eventually went for the PX200s instead of these, but I do have some experience with the PX100s because I regularly use my friend's headphones. They are 'open dynamic supra-aural mini headphones'.

Advantages: Incredible sound, comfortable, case included Disadvantages: Not as compact as earphones, not soundproof
Sennheiser have a great reputation for making great benchmark headphones, and this reputation is added to with the PX100. Given 5 star and rated as best budget headphones by 'What hi-fi?', I strong urge you to consider buying new headphones.
As the portable audio product market has become more price competitive, and the quality of sound has increased I have seen that companies are reducing the cost spent on headphones when they should be increased ... ...bought these Sennheiser PX100 6 months ago for my Apple ipod, 4th generation and have been delighted with them. The quality of earbuds that come with mp3 players for example, are adequate but you can improve your portable listening immensely with by purchasing this product. The quality of sound is signifcantly better than that supplied with the ipod, or sony mini discs. Clarity is greater, and there is a larger range, better for bass and tighter ...

Advantages: Sound quality, open back, fold quite small, comfortable Disadvantages: Do not fold as small as in ears.
...knew in the price range Sennheiser were among the best. So I had a look in my local HiFi dealer.
They had a reasonably selection of Sennheiser and in both black and white. The white pairs were £5 more than the black pairs for some mad reason or other.
Anyway I bought a pair of black Sennheiser PX100s.
They come in a nice case and fold up pretty small, the ear sections fold flat.
They are black with black foam, silver speaker backs and a spring ... ...so you can here what is happening around you.
They are comfortable to wear, even for a couple of hours. No pain compared to in ears!!!!
The sound quality is very good, much better than the in ear ones supplied with my HiMD portable, they go loud without distortion, too loud for me to find out!!!!
Mid range is very clear, highs are clear and go up to my hearing limit (about 16000Hz for me, good for mid 40s), lows are still pretty good, I guess ...

...and I can bet that Sennheiser will not be one that springs to mind immediately after all with so many variations out there on the market the more well known Sony, Plantronics, Creative that sell for less tend to be the headphone of choice when looking to pick up a budget set.

Advantages: Sound Quality, Build Quality, Super Storage Case Disadvantages: Hardly Any. Maybe the fact that they are not top of the range.
I Like these a lot. I started using them with my Sony HD-NW1 MP3 Player(Actually just Atrac) and was immediately taken with how much better they sounded than the earphones that had come with the Sony Player.
These kind of headphones will be marketed at the portable and PC music buyers, who would normally purchase "in ear" phones. These are a completely different kettle of fish.
The first difference you will notice is the robust packaging these ... ..."reassuring car door clunks" that these headphones possess.
The next reassuring aspect is the storage case for these headphones, it is similar in size to a sunglass' case, but is made out of plastic. Your headphones will be kept very safe and therefore will last all the longer, a dying character in our profligate world. Having said that, they are only as durable as your diligence to storing them properly!
So, having unwrapped your headphones and ...

Advantages: Lightweight, foldable, good sound Disadvantages: Quite expensive
I use these mainly with my portable DVD player. They are lightweight and very comfortable and cleverly fold up into a box (about the size of a glasses case) which keeps them compact and well protected. They also have a nice long cable.
The sound quality is really good, being open design they do leak sound so you wouldn't be too popular if you had thumping drum and bass on the tube on these but for my use they are fine. They also let a lot of sound ...

Advantages: Brilliant sound quality at a cheap price Disadvantages: Looks slightly cheap, though this goes with the price
The sound quality of these Headphones are brilliant and especially for the price of just £17.50 I connected this to my mp3 player and to my PC and it really brings the best out of the music. When your listening to music it is essential to have good headphones, otherwise how can you enjoy your music. One problem i have with the product is that it looks tacky and is made out of cheap plastic. On the positive side the headphones are comfortable to wear ...

...invest in a pair of Sennheiser PX 100s for about £35. I was a bit apprehensive about spending this much on them as it was more than any other head/earphones I'd ever bought.
However, what really grabbed me was that whereas my previous pair just collapsed at the head band, the PX 100s also have swiveling earpieces, so they really do fold quite flat. They also come with a specially designed carrying case to protect them when not in use, so I thought ... ...things about the quality of Sennheiser products that I was a little disappointed.
They're very lightweight and comfortable, although most of the weight is channelled through the two cushions which felt a little strange at first.
I'm pretty happy with these although I will say that the case is so fiddly to use that I abandoned it almost straight away, and (possibly as a result of this) the cabling hasn't worn that well- I think it's on its way out ...
