I use Sennheiser HD580 phones (the cheaper version of the HD600), and
also have a couple of pairs of PX100s. They are all comfortable. They
are all open-backed of course, as I find closed-back phones to be
uncomfortable however good the ear pads are.
I believe the replacement for the original PX100 has a less-flat
frequency response, and I've not tried these.


The PX200s are very nice if you can just get them to sit in the right
place on your ears. They seem to be rather finicky in that respect, get
it wrong and there's no bass.

I was thinking of the PX100 Mk2 or whatever they are called. (These
have the lead coming out from only one side, rather than separately from
ear earpiece.)
I tried the original PX200 when I bought my first set of PX100s. I
wasn't impressed, but then I don't like sealed-back phones.
