Greetings!

I just received a pair of PX100 which I had ordered after reading several positive reviews. Feel a bit disappointed after I plugged them in though.. I'm no audio expert, but I can hardly hear any bass and also the lyrics are really really quiet.. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with these headphones?

I've got a pair of px100s and I have to say that for me, one of their outstanding qualities is bass reproduction! Certainly when you consider how light and cheap they are. Compared to the HD414s of many years ago I am very impressed.

What is the context? What are they plugged into? What other headphones are you comparing them to? Is it just a bad recording you are listening to maybe?

Hello, where did you buy your PX100's from ?..... not an expert on this, but are they genuine ?

How to spot a fake

Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule. The skills of the fakers can often make it hard to visually distinguish a counterfeit from the real thing. But here are some tips:
If you are tempted to purchase from an on-line auction site, try to establish where the product is shipping from. Genuine Sennheiser products are not shipped from China!
If you are buying a £1000 watch for £20, you know from the outset that it is a fake. However, that rule does not apply when you pay £20 for a £30 headphone. Quite understandably, you think you are getting a bargain!
Remember that if you are buying a Sennheiser product advertised as ‘NEW’, you can only be sure to get an original product if you purchase it from one of our authorised dealers. And Sennheiser NEVER sells products on auction sites. If in doubt, visit our website and click on our dealer locator.
If however you are buying second-hand, you should do everything you can to ensure that you are dealing with a bona fide seller. Caveat emptor (Buyer beware!).
Look for poorly printed labels and material; most fakes have slight differences from the real deal. Compare the suspected fake with the corresponding picture on our web site.
If it proves to be a fake, then we’re afraid that there is not much we can do for you except recommend that you get in touch with Trading Standards Association (www.tradingstandards.gov.uk).
If the product you have purchased is counterfeit, you are entitled to contact the person or the retailer who sold it to you and demand a refund.

Hello everyone!

uk.kv,

The box says 'made in china' but from what I can tell they are real. I ordered them from http://www.getpartsonline.com/px100.html for $17. The store is in the US and has quite good ratings so I believe they're real.

Broosta,

I bought them mainly for playing my keyboard. I plugged them in directly and one of the first things I noticed was there was hardly any sound coming out when playing any "bassy" instruments (even with the volume cranked to the top). Then I tried it with my ipod and found that for most songs I can't hear any lyrics in addition to the bass problem!

Stinger69,

Glad to hear you like them. In my case they sound worse than my cheap earbuds. Maybe they really are fake??

Think If it were me, I would try and get hold of / borrow another pair to compare, could be a duff pair / maybe fake - dont believe that the quality would be worse than yr original earbuds

Sounds like they are fake or faulty. Send them back for refund or replacement. Bad luck mate
