Third-party reviews

What customers like about Sennheiser Px 200 II

  • Ultra-portable 'fold and flip' design that collapses to the size of sunglasses
  • Lightweight and durable construction featuring a reinforced steel headband
  • Balanced and natural sound signature with a focus on clear midrange
  • Single-sided cable design reduces tangling compared to the previous version
  • Comfortable for most users during moderate listening sessions due to soft pleather pads
  • Minimal sound leakage, making them suitable for quiet office or library environments

What customers don't like about Sennheiser Px 200 II

  • Bass response is highly dependent on achieving a perfect seal, which can be difficult on some ear shapes
  • Not suitable for 'bassheads' as the low-end lacks deep sub-bass impact
  • Inline volume control can feel flimsy or unnecessary and may lead to cable snags
  • Passive noise isolation is average and struggles to block out loud engine hum or subway noise
  • Earpads can cause heat build-up and may feel tight or uncomfortable for users with larger heads during long sessions
  • Treble can occasionally sound recessed or rolled off, lacking high-end sparkle

Verdict

The Sennheiser PX 200-II is a lightweight, supra-aural closed-back headphone designed for exceptional portability with its unique 'fold and flip' mechanism and steel-reinforced headband for durability. Featuring a frequency response of 10–21,000 Hz, an impedance of 32 Ohms, and a high sensitivity of 115 dB, it delivers a balanced, mid-focused sound signature with natural clarity and a tight bass punch. Main pros include its compact foldable design, effective passive noise isolation from ambient sounds, and an integrated in-line volume control on a single-sided 1.2m cable. However, some users note that the small ear pads can make it difficult to achieve a perfect acoustic seal for optimal bass, and the thin cable may feel flimsy to some.
