 Good sound and loud bass November 21, 2008
P. L. Barnaby (Birmingham, Westmidlands United Kingdom)
The people who gave these heaphones one star must have brought broken ones as my PX200 works as good as the PX100, but I say the PX200s are better than the PX100s and they sound brilliant in an iPod.

I was totally amazed at how bad the sound quality were from the PX200s that I sent them back straight away. I will reinforce what others here are saying...the PX200s lack bass, and the reproduction of the mid and upper frequencies are poor. DO NOT BUY THEM!!!!
Beware of fakes November 14, 2008
C. Burlington (Bristol, UK)
I have a pair of genuine Sennheisser PX200 headphones and a pair of fakes brought from this website. Fakes can be spotted by the following: No hard plastic carry case;
there should be a "1" and "2" on the folding arms of the headphones to show you which to fold first;
the depth of the speakers, on real Sennheisers the actual speakers are thinner (1.5cm) on the fakes they are 2.0 cm. the cusions come off easily from the fakes and the hole in the middle is smaller (1.5 cm instead of 2.5cm diameter).
The main tell tale sign however is the price. If they are selling for 13.50 instead of 30 something then they are probably fake.
Changed Recently - and Improved! November 12, 2008

I have just replaced an older pair of PX 200 (Mid-2006) that had succumbed to more than two years of commuting with another pair. Being so familiar with the older product, I have noticed a few minor changes: nothing significant but it felt like a product refresh.
The PX 200 was - and still is - is a compact, discrete and well made pair of headphones. The fact they can fold into a space the size of a spectacles case is a bonus. They are excellent at keeping the sound in - given that a noisy MP3 player is considered one of the great annoyances of the tube this must be a plus.
So much for what has stayed the same: the changes are small but significant. The sound quality is more detailed, has better bass depth and is less harsh than the older version. Acoustic music, such as well recorded Jazz, comes across better with more natural sounding saxaphone and Double Bass. It is good enough to allow good recordings (such as Apple Lossless on a Classic iPod) to breathe and offer excellent fidelity. The newer version also seems more efficient than the older ones, so much so I have had to adjust the maximum volume limit on my iPod.
In short, although these are not low-priced by any means, coupled with a good music player and good recordings, they should help soothe a commute away with ease.
A very GOOD buy, Excellent. October 29, 2008
