In this article we will talk about the headphones of the modelSennheiser PX 100-II. At the moment, it is very popular. With what it is connected, we will consider a little later. It should immediately be said that the model is quite convenient, and it does not have a high cost. Therefore it is quite suitable for those who do not want to spend a lot of money on really serious technique, considering that it is only purchased for the purpose of home listening to music.

General information

In the box, which is offered by the supplier,you can find the headphones Sennheiser PX 100-II, as well as a cover for carrying them. This device is considered among the entire model range of the manufacturer the most famous and cheap overhead device. It is perfect for home listening to music, but on the street to use headphones is not desirable. This model is intended for people who prefer to have a convenient device equipped with silicone insulators. Headphones perfectly hold on the ears and give a quality sound.

Specifications

Sennheiser PX 100-II headphones have an openconstruction. As for their frequency response, it varies from 15 to 27 thousand Hz. The pressure is 114 dB. The impedance is 32 ohms. Harmonic distortions reach a level of not more than 0.1%. Plug standard for 3.5 mm, straight. The cable itself has a length of just over 1 meter.

Packing and equipment

What is in the kit, already outlined above,left to tell in more detail about the packaging. From the blister to get headphones Sennheiser PX 100-II fairly easily. They are in it in the folded state. There is nothing more in the box than the case. It is made from a rather rough fabric, which allows it to be strong. Has special zavyazochki. In order for the headphones to fit in, they need to be folded only when assembled.

Appearance and operation process

Most of the design of the Sennheiser PX 100-IIis made of plastic, the headband and hinges are made of metal. It is the latter that allow you to fold headphones. If we evaluate the design of the device as a whole, then we can say that the design is rather unambiguous, and the quality of the materials used is not bad. With prolonged use of headphones, the process of folding and unfolding will take an average of several seconds. It should be noted that all movements are smooth, clear and are performed without problems. No backlashes. After a while there is a small chance that key knots will loosen up. However, this will not happen quickly.

The cups do not press very strongly. But this is enough to make a dense fixation. The headband is adjustable in a wide range, so it is suitable for any consumer. Ear pads are made of such material as foam rubber. To ensure high-quality use and the most convenient for the buyer, the manufacturer preferred to attach the Sennheiser PX 100-II Black headphone cups with the hinges. The device weighs not too much, and the speakers are slightly contiguous, so wearing it is quite convenient. Headphones have an open acoustic design. Accordingly, among the shortcomings of this model, you can designate noise insulation.

To distinguish the right earpiece from the left one, you need to look at which side the wire is from. The designations "right" and "left" are applied to the plastic located on the top of the headband.

Also need to say a few words about the cable. He is not attractive. In order to use headphones as a portable device, the length of the wire will be quite enough. The plug is completely straight, its dimensions are small. Therefore, you need to treat it as carefully as possible.

Sound Quality

It should be noted that these headphones Sennheiser PX100-II (reviews about them are generally positive) do not differ in the increased quality of sound. This can be fully justified by the price category. The middle frequencies do not sound very clear. Therefore, they bring a little discomfort. There are no sylylates. The upper frequencies also do not reach the optimal level. What about the low, it must be said, they are forced, so some melodies sound, to put it mildly, poorly. Often there is not enough bass. Even with the fact that the headphones have an open acoustic design, they did not get a very good stereopanoram. There is no volume effect, the instruments sound at an average level. The detail of this model is poor. Bass in many heavy melodies completely covers the frequency range, that is, medium and high notes are almost inaudible. You can easily enjoy simple electronics, pop music, as well as rap.

Compatibility with other devices

The popular phone is Apple iPhone,so let's talk a little about it. With this device, headphones work quite well. You do not have to raise the volume to the maximum to enjoy playback. Of course, to compare the headphones Sennheiser PX 100-II Black with the family from Apple is not, but in general for the banal listening to the melodies of the device will be enough.

Competitors

In Russia, this device costs about 1500 rubles. Therefore, its competitors are many well-known models. The closest competitor is Koss Porta Pro.

These models are compared by ergonomics,because it is almost identical. By design, they are slightly different, but this issue is controversial, because every consumer has his own taste. If we consider subjectively, then the described model has a more modern design. Speaking of sound, the obvious leader is Porta Pro. They have more controllable lower frequencies, although high ones are also muffled. In the model from Sennheiser, the sound is somewhat unclear. However, due to better design and ease of operation, it clearly wins.
