Sennheiser PMX 100 headphones

The first impression of the sound quality is that they sound as good as the PX-100's (so that's very good!) but slightly more insistent or even harsh - but this is probably because I'm comparing new with old and much used, they'll probably mellow slightly with use. Tip for iPodders - try using these headphones with the EQ setting on 'Jazz' and they sound especially great, thankfully without sounding too 'EQ-ed'.

The neckband fitting works well and they exert quite a firm pressure on the ears (yes, especially with big heads like mine!) and feel completely secure and comfortable in use. The actual neckband doesn't 'hug' the neck like some styles so it looks a bit like you've put a pair of PX-100's on wrong - but it's OK. Note that these headphones don't fold (altho the earpads swivel flat) and don't come with a carry-case like the PX-100's - hence the slightly lower price perhaps?

Highly recommended, especially for iPod/mobile users who like to hear some BASS!

Already owned a pair of PX100 headphones, and these are incredible. Then my wife wanted a pair that would not fall off the head while moving around - therefore read the reviews on these and thought they were worth the risk .

Wow - they are even better than the px100 . The base is much louder and mainatains a crisp , sharp quality , as does the whole sound range . Cannot fault them for the price.

They do require running in, so have to use them for about 72 hours or so. Secondly, the ear clips are a little tight at first, but soon improve with use. MInor issue really when compared to the quality of the product .

Spend the extra few pounds and get a pair of these

I have had many different sets of headphones ever since I bought my first cassette Walkman many moons ago but none of them have ever impressed me as much as these beauties.

As close as you will get to home audio quality whilst on the move. It has made a big difference to my walk to work - I am smiling all the way.

Treat yourself.

These are my 3rd pair of Sennheiser Headphones. I have had these PMX100's for well over 2 years now and they had just started fading a bit on the bass. But when it was new....great sound quality, bass and mid range were just perfect. Keep in mind that your music will be heard by others. After two years i havent found a fault with them, i sleep with them on through the night for 8 hours or so, they havent broken, but i will say the wire connection from the actual headphones has started to disconnect slighty, causing only the left phone to produce any sound......but thats partly my fault.

But for the price, i have to say, best buy. Nothing beats Sennheisers.

I had held off buying these phones because of reviews stating that they leak noise badly, are uncomfortable, too bassy etc.
Wrong on all counts.
If anyone complains about noise leakage then the wearer should be worried about their hearing and knock the volume level down a notch (or six). The guys sitting across the desk from me can't hear any leakage from these.
Uncomfortable? No worse than the Sony MDR-G52s I've been using. 2 hours at a time is no problem.
Bassy? My tastes range from metal to classics and all are no problem. Try the EQ if you don't like the bass level.
I'm using these phones with a Zen micro and they knock spots off everything else I've tried with this.
Go on, buy them. The Sennheiser HD590s I use at home are better but then there is a 160 price difference but not 160 worth of sound difference.
