What do people say

Some Positive

I’ve compared them with several portables in the $5-10 range along with some full-sized models weighing in at $50-100. Conclusion: these are worthy of being your “front-line,” and perhaps only, pair of phones. They’re up to the task of distinguishing each of the instruments in a jazz rhythm section or reproducing the spacious quality of an entire string section. The treble is distinct and “alive”; the bass is, if anything, more than I require (and the PX 200′s are supposedly the bass-heavy models). Comfort? They feel the same as any $2 pair of portable headphones–until the music begins, at which point “wearability” is not even an issue.

Granted upon first listening to these, the bass was kind of weak and the entire range sounded very flat. After burning in my headphones over two nights, these have really opened up! I was blown away by what these little things can do! They sound like headphones twice the size and cost. The bass is in my opinion perfect. Even when its hitting hard, I can hear subtle background instruments that i’ve never heard before. Of course, those of you who like more or less bass can adjust accordingly with equalizers. Personally, I like the Rock setting on my iPod mini.

Some Negative

Every single description of these headphones talks about the “easily replacable ear cushions/pads”. This is a fallacy. The only place I have been able to find them is on Sennheiser USA’s website, I ordered them and promptly received an email from them telling me that they are backordered and won’t ship until the middle of March. This is extremely frustrating. I can’t find these ear cushions ANYWHERE.

Now the bad news… They don’t sound that great! Let me be clear about this… they sound a lot better than most headphones that come with MP3 players. Compared to some other headphones in their price range, however, they are most underwhelming.
I am fairly picky about sound, but not to an extreme.
