Sennheiser PX100-11 open back headphones

adox

Only £19.99 on Amazon. I bought a pair of the original version a few years ago for €50 and they are brilliant and are still working to this day. Seems like a great price:

Bought this earphone last September for £30 off Amazon. Good performer for my (non-audiophile) ears.

Have passed on this price to friends who may be interested.

I swear by the first generation of these - they are truly excellent. Reports say that the Mk. II are not quite as good - but for that price they are a steal.

I guess since these are open back they leak a lot of noise?

Yeah they do.

I use the PX100s in the office at reasonable volume and the leakage low - low enough to be acceptable to those around me. I use Grado GR60s too, which are far worse.

Have had two pairs of these in the past - great headphones.

I am a sennheiser user for many years with px100 and I can confirm that the sound and build quality is over the top. As an audiophile I can't get aby better headphones at their original price or travel/jogging.
I really couldn't praise them enough. Go ahead and buy a pair because for this money they are a steal indeed!!!

See "More Buying Choices" on the right-hand side of the page - still available to buy 'from Amazon' for £20.

2-4 week estimate on dispatch, though.

If that would be my budget I wouldn't hesitate to buy the same pair. I just can't get enough from the sound quality and I'm a dude who listens music from Handel (great spacial fidelity) to rick ross (superbass from neodmium magnet) to progressive house. Yeah, the good kind of house... To dubstep aswell.

All in one day and still loving the way every instrument comes off this masterpiece of a headphone.

Have had many pairs of the PX200 and think they're amazing.
Am stuck for a pair at the moment but just CANNOT bring myself to buy a set of open headphones.

Commuting or in the office - leaky headphone people must be stopped !

Good headphones, sound is very good.

Be careful though because, as with all sennheisers from my experiences, the headphone jack is very dodgy. The sound went in one ear after less than 6 months of usage. I know a few people with the same headphones and the same has happened.

They have a 2 year warranty but I contacted sennheiser and they told me I had to go to the retailer to have them replaced. I bought them off adverts so I'm out of luck.

Good, compact headphones but the cable is a worry.

Ive had mine for approx 5 years and the only thing I have replaced is the ear foams.

The older versions had better jacks. I haven't had 100s in a few years, use 200s now but the 100s were great and they're really comfortable too.

I do submit. I have px 200-ii at the moment and I already soldered my own jack.
Same with previous pair(px100-ii).
But the rest is still grand

I have both these and the Koss Porta Pros. I'd recommend the Porta Pros over them every time to be honest but both are great. Porta Pros are an acquired taste looks wise.

I've had 2 pairs of sennheisers and the jack has went within a few months on both. I've since had cheaper headphones that lasted much longer.

The problem with them is there is no flexible part where the wire meets the jack. This means it's constantly snagging and eventually gets damaged. Most people I know who have bought sennheisers have the same issue.

It's an acceptable problem for headphones that are a tenner but Sennheiser pride themselves on making top quality gear.

I haven't had that problem on any of my head phones including the Sennheisers I have. I wonder is it how you use/store them.

Got me a pair of Jvc flats for 16 euro. Well happy. Great for the money

I've had the same issue with my second last pair of PX 200 IIs, and PX 200s before that.

Fortunately Amazon are very decent with returns

Used and stored out of the case cos really, who carries the case ?

Seems to have gone to £26 from Amazon, still 2-4 weeks dispatch time
