    I just bought the black version of these.

    For a collapsible headphone, they sound above expectations.

    I've owned the top-of-the-line Sennheiser HD600s for three years and I'll have to say I can honestly listen the PX100s on my portable without feeling like I am missing fidelity. The 100s are efficient and loud with a nice bit of bass emphasis.

    That said, anyone nearby knows what I am listening to and the headphones offer zero isolation.

    I also have a set of PX200s. They don't compare.

    PX100 and Grado SR-60 are the best entry level hi-fidelity headphone.
    I owned both of them.
    Every one I lend my headphones to ended up buying their own pair.

    No, these are not better than the Sennheiser HD650.

    When my HD600s finally break I am going to get a set of 650s.

    Who said PX100s were better than 650s, anyway?

    I only said they don't make me feel like I am missing out on fidelity, for example, like I do with POS Sony MDR earbuds, custom made for members of the tin-ear club.

    The PX100s are efficient (loud) and have a nice punchy response in the low-end. My HD600s are very detailed and transparent.

    I dunno about this white color, though. It's a bit too iGhey for my liking.

    I wonder if the iWhite is like the old mandarins growing long fingernails "I don't ever do manual work and my hands are never dirty".
    Oh - I've listened to a pair of these and they're not bad. Not significantly better than my koss foldables, though...
