Sennheiser PX 100-II

1. CNET (Australia)

Ty Pendlebury at CNET's Australian mirror gives the Sennheiser PX 100-II headphones a solid 7.8 rating, on a 10-point scale. He says they're good headphones overall, especially in the bass, and that they improve over the old PX 100 model with a sturdier build and better, single-sided cord. However, Pendlebury feels that the sound was better on the PX 100s.

3. What Hi-Fi?

This short review praises the Sennheiser PX 100-II's spacious sound, detail, clarity and treble. The big bass delivery is good, reviewers say, but compared to the iGrados it's soft and overbearing.

4. HeadRoom

HeadRoom, which sells the headphones it reviews, says that the new Sennheiser PX 100-IIs have "the best sound in the category" of portable headphones. Customers post their own reviews here, too, and most are glowing. One says that he finds the bass "muddy," however.

More than 70 user reviews are available for the Sennheiser PX 100-II headphones, and most are complimentary. One long post says that the kind of music you listen to will affect whether the PX 100-II sounds better than the PX 100. Another user misses the hard case that came with the older model.
