5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny! November 25, 2011

I bought these headphones about 4 months ago after much deliberation and couldn't be happier! I wanted headphones with good sound quality, that were NOT noise canceling, were able to make/receive iphone calls, and were comfortable. These headphones not only meet that criteria they exceed it!

1) First, and most important, the sound quality is amazing! I've listened to everything from Nicki Minaj to the Zac Brown Band as well as numerous audio books and the sound quality is excellent across the board. I will admit the sound is a bit bass heavy, but I don't mind that at all, and really it only emphasizes bass thats already in the music. The narrators of the audiobooks I've listened to sound crystal clear with no clipping whatsoever.
2) I was not looking for noise canceling headphones for a few reasons, the main one being I have a 2 yr old that I wanted to be able to hear at all times. I also didn't like the idea of taking a phone call and not being able to hear myself speak. These headphones are definitely not noise canceling and allow me to hear my child even when played at a fairly loud volume.
3) The only thing I liked about earbuds was the ability to take and receive hands free calls so I wanted that option in whatever new headphones I purchased. The Sennheiser PX 100-II allow me to take calls and the sound quality is amazing on both ends! Not only can I hear the person calling perfectly, they can hear me just as well as if I'm speaking directly into the phone! I do wish the 3 button control on the headphone cord was located just a little bit lower on the cord, but it's a minor inconvenience.
4) The headphones are extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The longest I have worn them thus far is about 5 hours straight while doing paperwork and it was an easy 5 hours. They are lightweight, not too bulky, and my ears were not sore at all. They also stay in place well when used during exercise.

I cannot say enough good things about these headphones. I would absolutely buy them again and definitely recommend them. They truly are worth every penny!

3.0 out of 5 stars great headphones -- until they short out January 3, 2012

I bought these less than a year ago - they are like my 10th pair of Sennheiser PX 100s over the last dozen or so years. That tells you too things 1) these are so good as far as portable headphones go (earbuds skeeve me out, ears are too sensitive) that I still buy them over and over

2) They short out super fast(when only one ear works the other dies out) - I thought with the new cord maybe they fixed the problem, maybe its built-in obsolescence? Maybe I'm too rough on them? I'm a city lad and wear them a lot for running and speed walking - I don't step on them or anything, GOD! I'm so MAD! I don't want to have to fork over $60 twice a year for new headphones... it's bull!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sound September 28, 2011

These headphones sound great, and yes, they seem to be a step up from the PX-100 pair that served me well for 5 years. As before, the bass is surprisingly good for such a small set. But it's not just bass, there is good clarity and power throughout the whole range. Different voices are nicely separated, and you can pump enough volume through them to drown out any environment without distorting (not noise canceling, just ruin-your-ears loud). If you have any lower bitrate MP3s, you're going to start noticing the flaws from the compression that you might not have noticed before.

I love the version with the inline microphone, so I can use it with my phone. The buttons don't work on Android, though (the play/pause button may work, depending on your OS, but these controls are designed for iPhone). They fit a little snugger than the older model, so they get uncomfortable after a few hours, but not terribly so.

I may be the only person in existence who loved the hard case that the PX-100 shipped with. This set ships with a small cloth bag, which is pointless. It hasn't really detracted from their portability (they go in my laptop bag with me), but I liked knowing they were protected in that hard case.

Anyway, they sound amazing, look good, work with my devices, and none of my complaints were worth deducting one star.
