General Comments

I'm a student of audio engineering, and I bought the Sennheiser PX 200 headphones with the intention of really enjoying the sound quality of the iPod better and not have to hold the earphones pressed in to get a bass response.

For £40 these have abysmal sound. Nowhere near the match of a standard pair of earphones. Big holes in the upper-mid frequency response, and no accuracy to bring the sound to life. I can barely believe these are Sennheiser! I'll be taking these back, and I hope they'll let me correct my stupid mistake of not getting the larger Sennheiser EH 350, which also cost about £40; and I've heard they sound excellent, and well worth the money.

Apart from sound quality, their construction seems cheap, and the ear pads are too thick and non-elastic, and so they get squashed into the sound output space and damage the frequency response further.

    I think you are confusing everyone with your comments, describing the sound as "abysmal" and then spilling your severe criticism for PX 200, which I believe it possesses the quality and function that can be truly described as "abysmal". You have to listen for yourself, and while listening through the PX 200. do switch back to your standard ipod earphones and....notice the the difference.... You don't need to be an expert to know what sounds good and what can be described as music to your ears... I just got mine today, they worth every penny...

    Had the reviewer paid £31, or in some cases £28 for these headphones, would they have been so critical? That's what you can buy them for today on the internet. After all they are intended to be portable and compact which in itself does not sit well with a deep bass response. Accurate positioning over the ears is important for good bass response with these headphones, and the important thing is their clarity and lack of distortion. Mp3 players come with graphic equalisers, so if you want more bass, tweak it up !
