I first bought the Sennheiser PX 100 Headset in 2006 from Singapore at approximately Rs. 3750 (Converted to Indian Rupee from SGD). Thats pretty expensive for a headset, but considering other High-End products from others (e.g Bose), its a lot cheaper (approx 40% cheaper as compared to Bose). Ever since I bought this headset, I stopped using my Sony Home Theater system to listen to music. Why? Because the sound quality of this headset is far better, richer, clearer and natural than my Home Theater System! In India this headset costs approx Rs 2900 and is available some leading Electronics stores. In Bangalore, its available at the Apple store, Forum Mall.
Just about 2 weeks ago, this headset has a problem - the right speaker stopped working because I accidently put too much pressure on the wire which may have caused some loose ends causing the speaker to go bust! This was the first problem I had in the past 3 years since I bought this headset. I shipped it to Sennheiser India for repairs. There was another problem though - my headset was white in color, and in India Sennheiser sells only the BLACK ones - same quality, everything same, just the color. Unfortunately, they didn't have the spares for my white headset, and guess what? They replaced my headset- FREE OF CHARGE - with a black one of course. Imagine it - 3 years down the line, no warranty, but still a free replacement.
For those of you, who really are into music, do try this headset. Its very comfortable - you can leave it on your ears for 10 hours and not feel anything. Its got an amazing sound quality - I can assure you its better than Bose, and at a price thats definitely better and worth the money spent. Bose's range starts from Rs 5000 and they do not sound as good as the Sennheiser.Another factor - the product is very sturdy. My lil 1 and a half year old daughter used to pull n pull n pull the headset's wire while I used to listen to music (she wanted me to play with her, and I would when she'd do this), and the headset suffered NO damage. The headset is designed such that it cuts out outside noise so you hear just your music and NOTHING ELSE!!
Finally, the best part - for you music freaks who love their music LOUD, the Sennheiser PX 100 is best suited! The sound clarity will be the same at the highest volume, the bass will be rich, deep and amazing. I hear my music loud - at 100% volume (God save my ears), and this headset performs.
