Practical, high quality and superb sound. 8 Feb 2011

By David Butler

I don't normally write reviews of gadgets, but I'm very fussy about audio, and these iPhone headphones continue to impress me.

Sennheiser's PX100 Iii is a well thought out folding design made with stainless steel hinges and springs. Even the clicks on the size adjustment feel high quality. The single entry cable is an advantage. Being on the left side it is easy for right handers to reach the microphone and button unit mounted on the cable. I would have preferred it if the mic were a little closer to the ear so it wouldn't chafe on collars and zips etc. The microphone sounds a little tinny, but it is perfectly adequate for speech both for calls and voice memos.

It's so handy having the mic and remote control buttons. It's great for driving and when listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks while working, because you can stop and start or answer a call so easily. I have had these phones for over two weeks and have worn them for many hours each day. At first I found they put too much pressure on my ears but I have become accustomed to this and accept it as necessary for superior base reproduction.

But most importantly, the sound quality is truly superb. The clarity, detail and tight base combine to reveal new material in familiar music and full appreciation of unfamiliar tracks. Even at higher volume levels, there appears to be no detectable distortion. This means fatigue free, listening bliss!

The best general use headphones 7 Mar 2011

By Iljitsch van Beijnum

I've been very happy with the original PX100. When I saw Sennheiser had improved it, I was reluctant to get the new model after I lost my current set on a trip to Barcelona. But then I found this model with the iPhone controls.

Unlike the old PX100, this model doesn't come with a hard travel case. In fact, the collapsing arms are a bit wider now so the PX100-IIi no longer fits in that case. I comes with a little pouch, though. The arms still fold in and the earpieces rotate 90 degrees, so the pouch is good enough if you carry the headset in a pocket or a bag, but I'd still be careful.

The sound is good as ever, with a clear high end that lacks the harshness that I've often encountered in cheap headsets or earbuds. The bass response is notably stronger than with most other headsets, but in a good way. It's really a pleasure to listen to music with the PX100-IIi. You can turn up the volume as high as it needs to go without distortion or resonances. From memory, it seems I need to turn up the volume a little more than with the old model to get the same level of output.

The old PX100 had a cable that split and went to each ear individually. With this one, the cable goes to the left ear, which turns out to be more pleasant. There is a little clicker in the cable which allows you to control recent iPhones, iPods and even Mac computers. The volume up and down buttons work very well, and the play/pause area is ok for stopping and starting playback, but double or tripple clicking isn't as easy as it could be because there's no separate button, you have to squeeze the middle of the clicker fairly tightly. There's also a microphone in there, allowing you to take calls, record voice memos or issue voice commands.

The headset is light and doesn't squeeze the ears much, so it's easy to wear for long periods. It's a great general purpose headset, but not ideal for exercise (sweaty ears and foam earpads don't go together well) and there is zero isolation from outside noise.

Excellent quality at an excellent price! 4 April 2011

By Mr. C. Goodwin

I'm really pleased with these headphones.

I get sick of in-ears falling out of my ears! And sometimes, if I've been wearing them for ages my ears start to ache. I wanted some headphones to replace my stock iPhone ones, and they had to have a headset built in that was compatible with the iPhone.

These do the job perfectly. They're comfortable, compact, have a great quality mic with iPhone controls built-in and produce excellent sound. The bass is particularly clear for such a small 'speaker'.

To top it off, they fold neatly across each other and lock into place for safe storage. You can tell that this is a well thought out design.

I recommend these to anyone looking for a decent pair of headphones to replace their iPhone headphones (I don't think they'd be compatible (mic and controls) with other phones - although the headphone aspect would still work I'm sure).
