I visited this website and signed up for the mailings about two years ago after some experience in a studio and looking for cans on a budget.  Not a frequent user of the forums.  Figured I'd give a quick summary of some varied experiences that might help tie together some elements for the new...

Can anyone who has these just try wearing them behind-the-neck style, see if can be done or if they just fall off when worn that way?   I know Sennheiser do specifi behind the neck models, but the PX100 II's will have better sound quality.   Thanks in advance!!

I've owned the PX-100 for the past 7-8 years. I've own two pairs. First one was lost, so I bought another pair. The second pair I lost... again. My choices were to buy another PX-100 or the new PX-100 II. I went with the newer PX-100 II for two reasons. 1) I've own the PX-100 for so long that I...

Purpose: To discuss driver alternatives that are being used within the Grado headphone cups.  This would apply to both custom wooden cups, as well as the standard plastic Grado or Alessandro cups, as well as Mahogany cups made by Grado. Again, the emphisis is on non-Grado manufactured drivers...

Hey there, Ive been browsing in the internet and mostly in this forum to find a headset suitable for my needs but really couldnt find anything that completely suit my needs, and right now I have a big headache seeing all these names and brands of headphones and "Do I want these" and "Do I want...

Hi all    I'am looking for a balanced sounded(for example:i don't want powerful bass sound) earphone for rock and classical music about 60-70$. what do you recommend?   I'd like to hearing the qualitative rock music(Dream Theater) and classical music. i need a appropriate earphone for...

Hi good people. I'm looking to buy another pair of headphones and my budget is £100 or less. Here's what I currently own and how I'd describe their sound - 1. Shure SRH-840 (full size closed-back cans which sound generally neutral to my ear). 2. Sennheiser PX100II (lightweight open-back cans...

I absolutely love the sound of my PX100's but i find them slightly narrow sounding compared to larger headphones.   Can anyone suggest something that fits into both camps?   Any advice or opinions are welcome!

A sad story: The cable on these lightweight headphones got caught in a rotating vacuum cleaner brush (ouch!). It sucked the wire right out of the headphones, breaking them at the solder joints. I want to re-solder the cable wires back to the headphones. The trouble is that I don't know which...

This has been confusing me - I've heard it said that these two headphones sound very different to each other, yet when both are described in isolation - they are often described the same: rolled off highs, dark presentation, strong bass.   How are they different to each other?   Thanks...

I think I posted this question in the wrong subforum yesterday.   I already know the Koss PortaPro ear pieces can be easily removed and placed into a Motorcycle helmet.  But I prefer the specs of the Sennheiser PX 100-II due to much higher efficiency (louder capability vs Koss).  Could someone...

I've been hearing mixed feeling regarding these headphones. There are those who think that they are way too bass light for genres like Hip Hop, while others think that basically if your not a bass head, the amount of bass should satisfy a non bass-head. I'm torn between these and the UE6000s...

Can anybody speak to how these sound as compared to the old PX-100's? Looking to get one of these soon. I'm getting a little weary of IEMs and never being able to get that exact "right" fit. Also it seems since it has a single-sided cord there is a lot of potential for modding in a removable...

The sound of the Sennheiser PX-100-II is quite different from the sound of the PX-200-II, and where I would normally expect a closed earcup (PX-200-II) to produce better bass than an open earcup (PX-100-II), the opposite is true with these two headphones. Bass with the PX-100-II is very strong...

Posted earlier in the wrong forum...   This is sure not what I expected. I got my AT EWS9s today and have been listening for a while. My old headphones are PX100s with HD414 earpads. I'm afraid I don't like the ATs at all. More bass sure but air wise and tonally I don't think they are close...

I have koss portapros on order did i make a mistake i listen mostly to rock and metal music.

I am seeking for suggestions for an open-air earbud for iPhone 5.I have an HD380 and HD595 but they are too bulky to use. The white apple earbud is not comfortable enough - always slipping out of my ear...

Hello all! I've been reading a lot in the last months about headphones as I'm increasingly entering in this world. I've always loved music, but recently I had to move from Spain to States and my colleagues decided to gift me a Bose AE2. I have to say that I don't hate them at all, they are...

Hello Headfiers,   A couple days ago I ordered a Koss Portapro. Because I know there are a lot of fake Portapros, I wanted to buy it directly from Amazon and not through another seller. Now I received them, but I am not sure if they are the real deal, and now I can't remember if it do was...

I have used many headphones brands over the years for Street use quality mostly Koss,Sennheiser and Sony   Currently I use Sennheiser PX100 II which is great for Pop and some Bassy Dance music, and yea i'm a basshead.   Recentnly i got Denon D5000 (jena cabled with furutech conector) ...

http://headphones.techcrunch.com/l/686/Sennheiser-PX-100-II  Are these a worthwhile buy?  I found for $45.  If not, please show me something, I would like to use for general music, techno, rock, dubstep, many different genres, so I want something very rounded.  I am also under a budget, the most...

Hi, I have had a pair of PX100-ii headphones and i am very happy with them. But recently (within less than a year) the wire got loose. I am wondering if anyone know a pair of headphones equivalent to PX 100 - ii, but with a detachable cable. so that loose cable is no longer a problem   I saw...

Just to let everyone know from the start, I'm a complete headphone noob who just needs something to play games and listen to music. I've looked into this particular phone, and am starting to warm up to it. I can get it from amazon warehouse deals, like new, for 70 big ones, instead of the 90...

Hello, I bought HD598 because I believed it would sound much much better than my 1 year old PX100ii. I've been actively using PX100ii over 500 hours and it sounds fantastic. But HD598 with 48 hour burn in is definitely "listenable", but the sound just can't beat PX100ii. Even though the sound is...
