 Outstanding product July 20, 2008
This is my third purchase of the Sennheiser PX100s (though this is the first pair I've bought in white), and I remain impressed by the quality of the product. I can't speak highly enough about them; they're far better than headphones I've purchased that cost three times the price. Buy them and be very happy.

The sound quality and design is better than what you might expect for that price yet my pair got a disconnection on the cord near the jack after a month. I cannot use it anymore so I don't think it is the right product if you are going to use it while traveling.
pros
good design (I find it quite easy to put it into its nice case)
good price
cons
too fragile
 Mystery explained? July 4, 2008
We own three sets of PX-100 (2 black and 1 white). Believe me, there is an audible difference between the black and white models. Maybe the white is different plastic, with a different resonance character. This is just professional conjecture. All I know is something must account for the difference, because I'm sure the drivers are the same.
Anyhow, the black ones definitely sound MUCH better than the white ones. I don't know if that has anything to do with the difference in price, but if you don't just HAVE to have white (for fashion sake or whatever), and if sound is the primary consideration, please do yourself a favor and get the black ones.
I have Sennheiser HD-600's in my studio, and of course they sound better (several hundred dollars does make a difference), but the black PX-100 has about 75-80% of the sound quality of the 600's! They are just a little "warm" in character, but for portable players that can be good thing. In fact, I rip my library to high bitrate .wma rather than mp3 (the mp3 codec tends to be warm itself), and the sonic character of the Zen player with these phones is amazing! But they sound great with portable CD players and laptops too.
I'm buying another black one since my oldest one (which I use every day) developed a short, and one channel doesn't play - but that's due to extremely heavy use over several years!
There's no accounting for taste, I suppose, and some people have some strange ideas of what sounds good. As an audio engineer, I prefer sonic neutrality. To my ears, when the black PX-100 is used with a typical portable audio device (in the typical playback environment), the combination is practically perfect. Considering the price, the light weight and the folding design (which I have no trouble getting right), these are primo phones.
Good iPod earbud replacement June 30, 2008
I bought these headphones primarily for my iPod and music+games on my laptop. The iPod earbuds arent all that bad but I was ready for something better and after a lot of shopping I settled on a pair of these.
I really didnt want an over-the-ear set and preferred open air even though my old Sony's have seen years of use and still sound great. Because of this however it does bleed noise to the outside and is not so good for environments that might disturb people. Also, it is made with light weight construction that some describe as flimsy. Just treat it like you would a pair of glasses.
They are comfortable and not that noticeable on my head but if they are too high they push against the rim of my glasses behind my ears and hurt after awhile. Once adjusted they fit perfectly. Cord length is just right. Sound quality is very good but dont expect the same as you would get out of a $200 set. It also wont miraculously turn 128kbps mp3's into CD quality but makes the most of what it gets. Obviously you need to crank up the volume on the iPod to drive the bigger speakers.
Lastly, in the end I should have bought the black pair instead. These look perfect with my iPod but stand out like a sore thumb over my black hair.
