Sennheiser's PX 40 are open-ear, dynamic, supra-aural mini headphones for portable audio and video devices. Ideal for use with portable sources such as MP3 or CD players and optimized for rock and pop music, the headphones produce excellent sound with wide dynamic range and broad frequency extension. The earcups use resonant bass tubes for rich, full bass, and their ultra-lightweight diaphragms are easily driven with minimal amplifier power (such as the headphone amps in most portable electronics).

The 1-meter cable, made from made from highly conductive oxygen-free copper (OFC), features a convenient volume control so you can adjust your listening level even when your portable is stowed in a backpack or pocket.

3.0 out of 5 stars They are ok, but could do better., May 25, 2002

The drivers on these headphones actually put out decent quality sound for the price, however, they just do not compare with the sound quality of similarly priced koss portable headphones (ie, ksc-50, ktx-pro, ksc-55). One of the major problems with these headphones is that the angle of the speakers is a little awkward and they don't really fit snugly on the ears so much of the sound is lost. If the headband kept the drivers snug to the ear these would be considerably better, but still not as good as the ktx-pro.

3.0 out of 5 stars decent sound, but poor fit., May 28, 2002

The confort of these headphones is about on par with any generic low-end headphones from other brands. The sound is ok overall, with pretty clear highs and good bass for the price, however the fit of these headphones do not really hold the ear pieces on the ear snugly enough to isolate the sound. This causes a lot of the bass to leak out and you end up with a slightly muffled sound lacking bass, but if you hold the ear pieces snugly on the ears you will hear that the drivers on these headphones aren't bad for the price, but oh well.

I have had this headphone model for about ~1 year and I still pleased with its performance. It is really light to wear and it provides a clear nice sound compared to similar headphones from other well-known brands I had in the past. I just love it !!!
