The PX 100 is an open, dynamic, supra-aural headphone primarily targeted for mobile players. Their outstanding sound reproduction and foldable design makes them ideal for traveling or listening on the go. Considered by many to be Sennheiser's answer to the Koss budget king the PortaPro, the PX 100 represents one of the great price/performance points in the Sennheiser line-up.
