So, last weekend I went to the Head-Fi London meet. I confirmed that the PX200 which I didn't like very much was shorter than the PXC250 which I do like. Shorter meaning that the headband didn't extend as much.
I ought to say that it's very clear that the reason I didn't like them was because the headband wasn't long enough. With the headband fully extended, the the cups just go over my ears. If the PX200's fit you well, then move the cups slightly upwards and 'enjoy' the bass-heavy, treble-less sound. This is what I was getting. If you PX200 owners are fully extending your headbands at this moment and wondering 'just how big is this guy's head?' the answer is VERY.
I think the smaller your head, the better you can enjoy these phones. When placed in the right position (as I can do on with the PXC250) they don't sound that bad at all.
So I apologise for misleading some people due to my anatomical incorrectness. It's official. The purple monster (with small head) approves.
