Angry PMX 60 problems & the PX100/Px200 choice

Hi there
I own a Sennheiser PmX60 thinking that they would be ok. I was very much dismayed by the ammount of sound they leaked. (clearly audible from 20m away). i would no recommened these either as the wire is very flimsy and has already broken on my pair after only 6 months usage.

Well i was thinking about upgrading to the PX100 or 200 but i can't decide as i have heard that the px 100 leak alot of sound but the px200 aren't as defined in the bass response.

The usesage would be a mixture of travelling and home use so i'm truly stuck for choice. Please help!

I'm using PMX60 and have just ordered a pair of PX200. I'll let you know how they compare.

Isn't that because you sucked it up with the vacuum cleaner?

I've found the wire on my current pair of PMX60's has survived for 16 months now so not finding that a problem, but the band on my first pair snapped one evening as I was taking them off. To Sennheiser' UKs credit, they replaced them no questions asked which really impressed me, But yeah, more leaky then a leaky thing in leaksville.
