Re: Sennheiser PX200

certainly is

not quite as good as the PX100s though ... I have both at work and switch between them quite regularly.

that said -even with the PX100s - you hear a lot of "they leak a lot of sound" - well at work we are about 1m away from each other and my neighbour can't hear my music - even at what I would class as "loud". At normal long term listening volumes I can't even hear them if I just put the headphones down on the desk.

just my opinion

Re: Sennheiser PX200

depends on how loud you listen to your music. persoanlly, i love the world to hear what i'm listening to, closed or open headphones.

yeah i know that i shouldn't but using my PX200's today in the art studio, a few people commented on how loud it was.

i don't think it's a matter of PX100 or PX200 becasue i have both, it's your volume you need to control.
