Sennheiser PX100 White
These mini headphones, released a couple of years ago, are still among the most sought-after in the lightweight, over-the-head headphones. They are perfect for portable audio players and the iPod-lugging crowd—sleek, iPod-white, light, and foldable. They are supra-aural with an open design ideal for the outdoors and traveling, and produces outstanding sound reproduction. According to Sennheiser, high-resolution sound is produced by “duofol” diaphragms and spiral embossing twin damping systems. They also describe the sound (bass) as “crisp and fast bass.” A special baffle ensures balanced sound imaging for all types of music.
Ease of storage is courtesy of Sennheiser’s smart fold and flip design. The earpieces can be turned 90 degrees which enables one to fold the headphones closed. It also locks in this position and will easily fit any your pants’ or shirt’s pocket.
The headphones have 1.4 meters of kevlar-reinforced copper cable ending with a 3.5 milliliter jack. 1.4 meters is really just enough for mobile use, as too long is just too messy. The headband is strong and reinforced with metal joints and connection to the earcups—especially important combined with the folding feature.
The ear pads are replaceable with Sennheiser originals, as is the headband padding. They also come with a sleek carrying case.
Below are some sample reviews from satisfied users.
“With excellent detail and midrange, as well as impressive bass, there are few, if any, lightweight headphones that can compete with the PX 100 in terms of sound quality. They’re also sturdy, extremely comfortable, and look great. The PX 100 are open headphones, which means they don’t block any external sound. If you’re looking for something similar that blocks some degree of external noise, check out our review of the Sennheiser PX 200, which should also be available in white in the near future.”
“This is the best over-the-ear headphone that I have listened to, and inexpensive to boot. I gave it my personal acid test with Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in 9 Minor, and it passed with flying colors, rendering both deep bass and very high frequencies accurately and without noticeable distortion even when playing very loudly.”
“While some have complained about the case and the complexity of folding the phones into the case, I have no problem with it. The phones fold easily, and there’s even a diagram on the case, and numbers on the earpieces so that you get them folded in the right order. Plus, the case protects them from the rest of the junk in your briefcase.”
“These headphones are very comfortable and can be worn for hours at a time with no problem—excellent for long airline flights.”
“Altogether, I found this to be an elegant product with excellent performance, at a very reasonable price.”
