This is going to be very heard to explain. I have a question for all you PX200 users. When you put on the headphones, do you adjust the earpads to be flat against your ear, or are they at an angle, so that the front part is kind of against your head? To better understand what i mean, take them off and swivel the earpads inwards towards each other. Is this the basic position they are at when they rest on your head?

It's hard to visualize what your saying so I will just explain how they are positioned best for me. Hopefully it will be helpful.

Pull them down farther than you think they should be and push them forward farther than you think they should be. Remember, the cups on these things are tiny and the entrance to your ear canal is at the bottom forward part of your ear.

Well it really depends on the shape of your ears. However, once the PX200's are fully burnt in correctly it shouldn't be to hard to find the right spot (for full burn in make sure to use bass heavy music really loud, but make sure they aren't distorting and leave them for a day or so). As far as seal goes, the cup should seal off any air from getting into your ear canal. For me I have to go one click(each side) tighter than I would normally have the headband adjusted so that it angles down slightly. I have really big earlobes though so that probably has a lot to do with my particular "correct seal." Anyway, good luck and enjoy the PX200's really are great for their size...

i keep mine completely on my ears and slightly low. no probs finding the right "seal". i recommend playing around with how far you keep the ear cups extended. when i first got em i had them too high, so i started extending a few clicks lower. now i have an exact number of indentations to click through to get the right extension.
