Customer Review: help with the debate
Summary: 5 Stars
I, as well as many other customers i think, have spent much time reading reviews and deciding between the px100s and px200s, and i decided to go with the 200s.
It seemed consistant that the 100s had better sound, especially in the bass area, and fit more people better than the 200s, but they also made listening to music less private and allowed alot of ambient noise to be heard (a good or bad thing depending on your use). The 200s on the other hand sounded less crisp and most people couldn't get a very good seal so the bass sounds worse. On the other hand, though, they are more private and block out more noise than the 100s.
They both feature a neat folding design and comfortable fit, as well as a nifty carrying case (don't be fooled by the pictures though, the case is leather, not plastic).
So here is a summary;
If you want better sound quality and less risk: px100s.
If you want still good sound, more privacy, and less ambient noise: px200s
I opted for the 200s and have not been dissapointed. After a few minutes of adjusting, I found a way to comfortably wear the phones and also maintain a good seal. It is helpful that they put an L and an R on the side of the respective earpone, it makes for a better fit than if you have them on backwards. Also, I sound tested them against the standard apple earphones and the 200s are certainly an upgrade; the mids and highs are slightly better, amd the bass is waaay better (as long as you have a good seal).
As far as comfort, I forgot i was wearing them after a few minutes, until I rolled over and bumped them. I can listen to them for hours unlike the apple phones, which I can listen too for only like 30 minutes before I have to start alternating ears.
I was also impressed at how much ambient noise they block. I was talking to my sister and she asked why I was talking so loud and I realized why old people who can't hear talk so loud! In fact, I can hear the songs on my ipod while i am mowing the lawn at about 2/5 volume with the 200s as well as i can with the apple phones at 2/3 volume! Highly impressive.
I think they look cool too, and the portability is an added bonus. All the people who have trouble folding them must be special edd or something because there are only like three steps and there are only two ways to mess up. As long as you fold the top half in before the bottom half (you'll understand if you have them) its no problem.
I hope this review helped you because it sure would have helped me and I spent like half an hour writing it.

A few months later I agree with my earlier review and would like to add that they do seem to slip off your ears slowly making it quieter, but it is easy to adjust. It gets a bit annoying, however.
Unfortunately they cracked but the warranty worked out and the replacements are like new, but the service was slow and took a lot of effort.
On that note, I had to wear my apple phones for a month and here is my conclusion. THEY SUCK AND HURT MY EARS!!!! The 200s are far more comfortable and have better sound, esp. for the price. I did, though pick up some fifteen dollar skull candy buds that sounded bad (about the same as the apple) but were far more comfortable, so you might wanna look into those.
