The PX100 are open back and the PX200 are closed back, so it would depend on where you are going to listen with them and if you don't mind annoying people in close proximity (open backed). The closed back (PX200) will sound more bassy but will not leak sound and will limit the amount of outside noise interfering with your listening.

Believe it or not the 100s actually give a more bassy and powerful sound but they do leak alot of noise both in and out. The 200s give a less bassy more crisp sound. I have had both and if the 100s didn't leak so much sound I would prefer them but as they do I would say get the 200s. Both are great though.

I have the px200 and they don't really deliver on any level. They are bass light to the extent that I don't want to listen to them and they are just a back up headphone now. Absolute waste of money.
Out of the 2 I would deffo pick the px100 as they do deliver good sound as an open portable headphone.
If you need closed back then look elsewhere - e.g. AKG K518 for one.

Just how big a difference is there between these £15 PX100, and £75 HD280?

I want some budget gaming earphones but dont want to spend a fortune on top of that JVC dolby headphone unit. Is it really worth 4-5 times the cost for full-size headphones?

The Sennheiser PX100 and the HD280 are wildly different headphones. The HD280's are full size sealed (closed back) headphones, whereas the PX100's are lightweight on ear open back headphones.

The PX100's are great if you need to be mobile. It depends how much you move around while gaming, but the HD280's are quite large and may wobble around if you move your head too much.

The HD280's are a good choice if you need the sealed back - to keep external noise out, or your noise in!

As many others have stated, the biggest problem with the PX100s is they let a lot of noise both in and out. If you're going to be listening on trains or buses, then they won't do, in which case you'd be best of going for the PX200s, or stretching the budget for a pair of AKG 416P or 414P.
