Advantages: Excellent sound reproduction, lightweight and comfortable. Disadvantages: None I can think of.

I'd used Sennheiser headphones before and I've always been impressed with their sound reproduction and build quality. So when I needed a new pair for my Creative Zen Touch, I set about tracking down a suitable pair of Sennheisers. I've never liked the in-ear design that is so popular - they are always falling out of my ears and, if the volume is up too much, then everyone can hear me listening to Perry Como!
After reading a few reviews I decided on the PX10's. Whilst not the best that Sennheiser had to offer, they received favourable reviews and were within my very limited budget.

I have been impressed with the sound quality of these headphones since day one. The headband allows for perfect adjustment to put the 'phones directly in my ear (at least on my head). The headband also allows reasonable use of the headphones when jogging or rowing. It is reassuring to know that my headphones will stay in place while I'm puffing and panting! They are extremely comfortable to wear and the lead is long enough for my use (1 metre cable).
These headphones incorporate a mini bass tube in the arms which gives excellent bass reproduction, especially compared to the Creative supplied in-ear set. It is possible to listen to music at reasonably high volumes without disturbing the outside world. Even taking the headphones off when the music is still playing it is hard to really distinguish the music.
I don't have much to say on the negative side sbout these headphones. They don't have any sort of travel pouch, so it is a bit of a pain when it comes to storing them. I think that's about it.
Overall I'm impressed by the these headphones:
Excellent sound quality; lightweight; easy to wear; reasonably priced. What more do you need from a pair of portable headphones?
After wearing out my £10 pair of folding headphones, I decided to invest in a pair of SennheiserPX 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 I'd give them a try.
I've now had them for about six months and they've taken a lot of use. The sound quality is pretty good, although admittedly not as superb as I'd been led to believe. Don't get me wrong here- there's no problem with the sound per se but I'd heard so many amazing things about the quality ...
Advantages: Light compared to some of the other challenging MP3/Portable Hard-Drives out there, great design, good sound, big capacity, colour display, mouse wheel control, comes with dock! Disadvantages: Can be a pain trying to take some music off the iPod to other computers, Scratches easily, Rubbish earbuds!
The iPod has come a long way form its first few designs that sold like hotcakes then! NOW Apple are one step ahead with only a small number of competing products.
The iPod Photo has a great battery life and had great sound. Personally speaking, you must purchase an affordable pair of good headphones to use with. A good pair would be the SenheiserPX200s. (approx £30 on Amazon.co.uk)
The size of the iPod is a great bonus, meaning you can take it around with 10,001 songs in your pocket (at the Apple defualt size specified). Pretty light and has a beautiful colour display which also features a slideshow function so you can play your pictures with acompanied music on a T.V set. great to entertain guests at a party.
The colour is everywhere on the 'Pod even on the games. all colour is great and makes the experience of owning a i ...
