General Comments

Sennheiser PX200 - I pretty much bought these headphones on the strength of the reviews here, but I must say I am disappointed in them. Sure they give a good quality of sound, they fold up nicely and you don't even notice that you are wearing them, they are so comfy.

But - when I compare them with my standard 4G iPod bud phones they just aren't as good. The volume isn't there and they lack the roundness of sound that I was hoping for. The sound is crystal clear, but the bass is somewhere off in the distance. I mostly listen to Reggae, for which bass is an established artform and these phones just don't deliver in the way they are billed as doing. Again my iPod buds carry that bass far more nicely.

As for them blocking outside noise, it just ain't happening. On the top deck of a London bus I could hear conversations downstairs, and the Underground is just a noisy as ever.

I wouldn't usually be griping, except they cost me £35 and I should have just stuck with the iPod buds.

    Have a cry. I woudn't blame the headphones, I use 515's with my creative Muvo2 FM and it even drives them well enough. I don't like the iPod sound quality. The pre amp in it isn't that good. Solution: dump the ipod.

    I seem to agree with Martigan. Not so impressed with them either.

    I bought them after using a pair of Sony in ear earphones, thinking I could finally put them away thinking the PX200 would do better.

    The PX200 lack the base and punch I've grown used to. They're even a bit softer than my little Sony pair.

    I also am extremely disappointed with the lack of bass, and I find the ear buds deliver better sound.
