They may not match the sound quality of ones that cost two or three times as much but they are a huge improvement over what you normally get for this kind of money. They are comfortable and have a nice case to keep them tidy. After wasting money on sony and phillips headphones from Target, these ones have kept me happy for over a year now.One suggestion: if you sweat a lot while using, it is good to let the earpieces dry out a bit before putting them away in their case. I got these to use in the gym and I have been very happy with the quiet and the sound quality. I don't recommend them for on the street use, but if you want to keep out the noise on an airplane or a nearby aerobics class at the gym, these are a great deal.
I'm sure another $100 would buy superior sound.So overall I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend the PX200 to someone who wants to block out outside noise. As I listen to rock and metal - this was initially dissappointing. My previous headphones were Ultimate Ears earbuds. Otherwise I would try the PX100. Also it takes me (after a month of use) about 30-60 seconds to put them back in every time after use. I bought the Sennheiser PX200 from Amazon after researching the various options and reading customer reviews of this model.
My thoughts on these headphones, taking into account previous reviews:- they are very comfortable to wear. However over time I was able to tweak the equalizer on my mp3 player to compensate for the weak bass and now I'm pleased with the bass and overall sound, especially at this price range. My primary use is for them is on the bus back and forth to work. I'm happy with the case though because I know they are protecting my purchase well.- the cord is a bit longer than my previous headphones but not too long - I find the length ideal.- the sound: as has been mentioned in previous reviews, the bass is weak while the mid-range is good. I gave the product only 4 stars out of 5 because the sound is good or maybe very good but not great. For this reason I chose this 'closed' model.
The sound was better with the Ultimate Ears but they were less comfortable and after 1+ year of use my ears couldn't take them anymore.- the PX200 blocks out background noise such as the engine noise of the bus well.- the case that comes with it is clever and very useful but requires a little bit of practice learning how to put the headphones back in.
The description borders on false advertising, since the bass response was practically non-existant. The second pair sound just as bad. So now I'm debating to go back to the trusty PX100 or look for a non-Senn alternative. This was my third pair of Sennheisers. The previous two were just magnificent, so I was really looking forward to getting these to replace the PX100 I'd worn out.The first pair, the sound was so tinny that I assumed that they were defective and sent them back for replacement.
At the same price, this one is a good choice.Advantage is the part of the high pitch which is very clear.
Much more comfortable than my previous Sony headphones, that's for sure. Bought these because my old Sony headphones were falling apart after 6 yrs. It's nice that it is collapsible: I'm definitely taking these when I go on a flight. Sound quality is clear and this has pretty decent bass. Looked at amazon for a new pair and decided to go with Sennheiser as I already had their earphones. Was debating whether or not to get these or the PX100, but personally, I feel that closed headphones are much better, honestly.
