    I can't comment on the Sennheiser, but the Koss are very good in sound and quality.

    I can't comment on the PX100, but I'm impressed with my [STRIKE]PXC300s[/STRIKE] PXC250s.

    They're the closed type of headphone which in general isn't going to produce a better sound than open, plus they're more harmful to your hearing in the long term.

    The PX100s are very good - best headphones I've had. But if your going to use them at any volume in public places the open design means that you might annoy lots of people.

    It'll be 99% home use I reckon. Just read a good review here: http://www.headphone.com/rightbetweenyourears/?p=1031

    Indeed, that's why I went for the PX200.
