Better than expected
I have headphones on most of the day - every day. I was looking for a new pair, because the previous, behind the head, style really irritated me. So, I researched for quite a while before I found these. I was looking for a pair that was NOT over the ear, since I didn't want that weight and feel all day long. I was also looking for the single wire from one side and volume control. I would have settled for less, but luckily found these.
I am extremely impressed with the sound blocking. I was absolutely shocked at how much sound is blocked. It just doesn't seem possible, considering their small size. It's kinda weird actually. Because I wear them all day, there are times when the noise blocking is actually a hindrance, so I wind up moving one side off the ear so I can hear my surroundings. It's not ideal, but that is not the fault of the headphones.
They are very comfortable. I can literally wear them for 8 hours straight without the least bit of...
A solid pair of portable headphones
I bought these as a replacement for my broken PX 200s 1st edition. My experience with the 1st gens was that they were great overall, although they had the following cons:
1. The cable was made up of two individual wires. This meant that the cable would get tangled upon itself and just about every time id put them on, I would have to spin the cable around to get it straightened
2. The cable split to both ear pieces. This resulted in the cable always being directly under your chin which could at times be awkward
3. Extended use (1 hour or more) made my ears get sweaty, regardless of volume
The 2nd gens have corrected each of the above mentioned issues. The cable is one solid wire, meaning no tangles. The cable only connects to the LEFT ear piece, meaning that the wire goes down more gracefully by the side of your face. Ive worn them to the gym 3 or 4 times, and have not experienced much ear-sweat, if any.

Everything But The Bass...
The earlier Sennheiser PX200 I series headphones were notorious dogs, featuring a recessed murky sound, rolled off mids and trebles, minimal bass, and a relatively high price. This new version of those headphones addresses most of the problems with the Mark I model, although they are not perfect, and the price has gotten higher.
The main challenge Senn faces here is to wring decent sound out a wee tiny roughly 30mm driver. Most other headphones these days, at least those beyond entry level pricing, offer drivers at least 10mm larger, so the PX200 has to do more with less. For the most part, this iteration of the design succeeds: the sound is extremely clear and detailed. Mids and trebles are perfectly balanced and very audible and distinct. Even more impressively, treble is not at all bright and these tiny phones manage to project an impressively large sound stage, especially for a small portable headphone. Presentation of audio is very forward, nothing recessed. The old...
