Customer Reviews
Good and durable headphones
I bought these headphones upon my friend's recommendation couple of years back and been using this regularly and happy with it so far.
Sound is great, the adjustors and head padding work very well and are comfortable. The ear puffs sometimes come off and the headphone does not collapse into the case so well these days. But other than that, these are very good. I would recommend it.
collapsible ear phones
Good that they fold to become compact. A nice item, still a little bulky, but decent.
Best portable phones I know of
We own three sets of PX-100 (2 black and 1 white). Believe me, there is an audible difference between the black and white models. Maybe the white is different plastic, with a different resonance character. This is just professional conjecture. All I know is something must account for the difference, because I'm sure the drivers are the same.
Anyhow, the black ones definitely sound MUCH better than the white ones. I don't know if that has anything to do with the difference in price, but if you don't just HAVE to have white (for fashion sake or whatever), and if sound is the primary consideration, please do yourself a favor and get the black ones.
I have Sennheiser HD-600's in my studio, and of course they sound better (several hundred dollars does make a difference), but the black PX-100 has about 75-80% of the sound quality of the 600's! They are just a little "warm" in character, but for portable players that can be good thing. In fact, I rip my library to high bitrate .wma rather than mp3 (the mp3 codec tends to be warm itself), and the sonic character of the Zen player with these phones is amazing! But they sound great with portable CD players and laptops too.
I'm buying another black one since my oldest one (which I use every day) developed a short, and one channel doesn't play - but that's due to extremely heavy use over several years!
There's no accounting for taste, I suppose, and some people have some strange ideas of what sounds good. As an audio engineer, I prefer sonic neutrality. To my ears, when the black PX-100 is used with a typical portable audio device (in the typical playback environment), the combination is practically perfect. Considering the price, the light weight and the folding design (which I have no trouble getting right), these are primo phones.
They do let in outside noise and they are audible to others in your space, so if you need noise suppression or quiet phones, go with a sealed or in-ear type. If you just want something easy to use and great-sounding, and don't care about those things, these would be the way to go.
