Summary: Very Good For The Price
Comment: The Sennheiser px100 headphones are a great value. They have quite good sound. They are little lacking on the treble, but have a rich but not too overwhelming bass like many Sonys have. The amount of bass is good if you're in a noisy environment because bass in general is easily drowned out by ambient noise. Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten the px200s because they are the same as the px100s, but have closed earcups which helps to block out ambient noise. They are also only $10 more. In general, though, these are a great choice because Sennheiser have proved themselves countless times in the audio world to be of the highest quality. Even real audiophiles trust Sennheiser with their headphone needs (the more expensive models). Trust me, these are nice!

Summary: Best headphones under $50
Comment: Sennheiser does it again with value-priced headphones that still sound great in most environments!
Although I would not consider myself to be an "audiophile" I do have an ear for fine sound. I can easily say that if you're under a budget and would like to get the best quality sound out of your computer or ipod for under $50, this is your ticket.
Sennheiser's open-backed headphones terminate to an 1/8" (mini) plug and include a very handy and protective carrying case. If you travel a lot or just want to put your headphones in your gym bag, this protective case will prevent your PX100's from any sort of reasonable impact damage. Although it takes a little practice to wind them back up in the case, it's well worth it.
The headphones themselves are very lightweight. You can barely feel them on top of your head, and the cushons located on the top keep the metal from digging into your head after prolonged use. The earpads fit comfortably on your ear, and because its light weight it stays comfortable for hours on end. Combine that with an open-backed design that allows ambient sound to come through and you've got headphones that are perfect for work.
How do they sound? FANTASTIC. There are bright and clear highs and punchy, developed lows and mids. Getting better quality sound this cheaply is just not possible. If you purchase these headphones for their quality you certainly won't be disappointed.
Although this headphone performs spectacularly in most situations, there are a few cases in which you ought to consider a closed-ear or in-ear headphone instead. The open-backed design does allow sound through, so these headphones will not perform well in areas with large amounts of noise, such as the gym or in an airplane. DO NOT turn up the volume to play over any loud ambient noise. Listening to ANY headphone at too high of a volume will damage your hearing.

Summary: Two and a half years on, still going strong
Comment: - Very comfortable heaphones: I often wear them for hours on end with zero discomfort (and I'm extremely picky about these things).
- Great sound quality: warm tones, clear highs and abundant bass.
- Sound does leak in and out, which is either good or bad depending on your intended use. They're great if you need to hear what's going on around you, bad if you're trying to block outside noise or prevent others from hearing a bit of your music.
- Durable: I've had mine since October 2003 (two and a half years) and can attest they've proven very sturdy.
I don't think I beat on my equipment, but I don't baby things either. My PX100s get used almost every day, mostly just around the house, plugged into a portable cd or mp3 player stuck in my pocket, cord dangling.... Can't tell you the number of times I've snagged that cord on something and half yanked the 'phones off my head or had the plug come out of my player. Absolutely no problems despite this, no loose connections or shorts or crackles or anything. Guess that's because of the Kevlar in the cord?
- On two occasions I've had issues with a rattling, buzzing sound on deep bass notes, both times it's turned out to be a tiny hair that had worked its way through the foam earpad and into the headphone innards. I pulled the hair(s) out and the problem was solved. Phew!
- Because the earpads were getting grungy (accumulated dead skin - yuck - can't be helped though) I bought replacements from Sennheiser's online store. Ordered on a Thursday & they arrived the following Monday. Nice! Cost less than $7 total, half the price was for shipping. They were very easy to put on.
If it weren't for the grunge issue I wouldn't have bothered since the foam itself was still in great shape. My previous headphones were a pair of cheaper Sony's and their foam wore right through to the plastic underneath.
I absolutely love these headphones. Bought a second pair a couple months after the first as "insurance" so that if disaster struck I wouldn't have to be without them even for a few days (the horror!) while a new pair shipped. That second set has rarely seen the light of day, my originals getting 95% of the use.
Also purchased the mega-expensive Sennheiser HD650s about a year ago, thinking if the PX100s were so great, those must be awesome - and they are (especially if you use them with an amp) - BUT, I still almost always use my itty bitty PX100s. That's how convenient, comfortable and good sounding they are.

Summary: for what they are...
Comment: For what they are, these headphones are great! Nice lively sound, sturdy despite appearing so slight and weighing so little. They are a temporary fill-in for my Grado SR60s that are being repaired because I don't like using Senneieser 580s during treadmill workouts mostly watching dvr-recorded movies. Because the earpads are so small, they do let in enough foot pounding to smudge some dialogue, and the cord could be about a half foot longer. Having said that, these are about the most comfortable 'cans' you'll ever wear. I will continue to use them with my portable cd player and computer at night. A great value.
