Sennheiser PX Customer Review(s):
Summary: rocky road at first - now much better
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Comment: Despite the wide variation in reviews and the negative reviews from very knowledgable people, I decided to try these headphones. The selling point for me was the design of the headphones, and the brand also carried a lot of weight with me.
My initial impression of these headphones was horrible. Like so many of the others who posted, I found the bass to be very, very weak, leaving a tinny, highmid-heavy sound, which is very annoying.
I decided to up the bass boost on the EQ setting in my iPod, thinking that perhaps this would loosen up the drivers in the headphones. I played them at full volume for a few minutes, while not wearing them.
I came back for a listen after doing this and they sounded much better. I then experimented with the fit on my head. I found that if the ear pads are not well seated on my ears the perceived bass is heavily attenuated.
Now that I've worked all this out, I have to say I'm very, very impressed with the sound. I've compared them with other, around the neck headphones that I have, and I like the sound of the Sennheisers much better.
I like the over the head comfort of this style, but it is somewhat annoying that I have to fiddle with the fit on my ears so much to get the sound right. I think the user must try to get the same kind of seal you get with full size headphones, with these smaller-pad style headphones.
There are things to like and dislike about this style of headphone - but I don't think you need to be scared off by concern of lack in bass.
Keep in mind that you are purchasing an audiophile brand name, but the product is, like so many other things, made in China. I think this is probably to be expected at this price point.

Summary: Comfort, but not Sound
Rating: 3 (out of 5)
Comment: I spent a lot of time online researching headphones and ultimately settled on these. My feeling after having used them for about a month is:
If you're prepared to pay $60 for headphones, you might as well spend just a bit more and get a better pair.
The best thing about these headphones is their design. They are very portable, and I've taken on them airplane trips easily. They fold in a clever manner, and they are VERY comfortable. By far the most comfortable headphones I've worn. Sometimes you almost forget they're on your head.
But the actual sound that comes out of them leaves a lot to be desired. This was the first pair of headphones that I had purchased alone, rather than with a stereo or a keyboard. I was expecting a sizeable upgrade in sound and didn't get it. Music still ultimately just sounds flat -- as if it's coming from one source, rather than the greater dispersal you get with higher end 'phones. And my biggest problem with the iPod phones, which is their muddy quality, doesn't go away with these. It's like the difference between AM and FM radio (only more subtle, obviously.) More expensive headphones give you a much crisper sound than these.
So BOTTOM LINE: If your overwhelming concern is comfort, and you don't care a lot about sound quality, these headphones are for you. But if you want crisp, clean sound, you're not going to get it here.

Summary: what the F***?
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Comment: Sennheiser should be ashamed of these headphones, most of their headphones can go head to head with grado's per price range...the reviewers are correct about the bass you have to manipulate the eq to get good response, which is sad because Sennheiser headphones should reproduce sound accurately enough that you don't have manipulate low frequencies as much as is required with these. The highs and mids are very good with these and the soundstage is pretty solid. Try the pmx60's, though, they are excellent!
