So I got to use my new PX several times today:
1. Early morning coffee shop with few people around as I listened to music. The "City" mode worked best.
2. Lunch with very few people in restaurant watching an iTunes movie. City mode worked well
3. After lunch coffee in the coffee shop with lots of people, and lots of noise, while I watch an action movie. Even at the highest level of sound reduction, the short scenes with lots of spaces between lines was problematic. I think constant music would probably have been okay. It just the total silences between speech in the movie let the environmental sound around me become distracting.
I love the looks, fit and finish of the PX! If I keep them I'd probably have to still break out my Bose QCi30 earbuds in really loud environments. To be fair I had access to the Bose over the ear 25's and didn't think they worked with environmental sound reduction as the QC30i earbuds. I wonder if I would find the PX more acceptable for in flight engine noise?
I'm almost tempted to bring in my P9's or my Master & Dynamic MW60 into the same environments to help me justify keep the PX BTW I'd prefer the MW60 over the PX in quiet (outside the home). Open headphones vs. sealed. Apples and oranges I know.
Maybe I'm having a fit problem with improper seal as mentioned in earlier threads? I do like the PX, I'm just trying to figure out if they belong in my arsenal of headphones.
