What is the difference between the PX-100 and the PMX-100? Did Sennheiser release a new version? How does it compare to the KSC-75?

The pmx100 is a street style version of the px100. You wear the band behind your head, rather than have it rest on top. That's not to say the have the same sound. Headroom mentions that they sound similar, but it doesn't say they are the same. Also, there is only the frequency graph for the px100 posted and not the pmx100 on that site, so I can't tell you if they have the same sound. I prefer the traditional over the head design, because it is more forgiving for all head sizes.

I should also add that the px100 usually costs more than the pmx100. The px100 is listed at $59.95 whereas the pmx100 is listed as $49.95 on the Sennheiser USA website.

I'd say that they are probably different, but only slightly because one is a bit more than the other.

PX100 bass is stronger and more prominent mids...from what I remember. Treble is where the PX100 went all wrong for me. Rolled-off, unatural and just plain bad with the new pair that I tried less than 2 months ago.

KSC75 are bright but not overly so for my taste. Amazingly good detail for this price.

The PMXes just sort of dangle on my ears instead of clamping, which could explain why they sound somewhat thinner than the regular PX100s.

LOL! Nice

I want to assume that the drivers are identical.. some of the price discrepancy may stem from the folding mechanisms on the PX100..

Maybe I'll try the PX-100 if I have $50 burning a hole in my pocket. Wait, I'm a member here, so there are always holes in my pockets.

I've seen them as low as $33 or so on the web, at times.

I have the PX100 and I've ordered the PMX100. I love the PX100 but when I'm doing something like working in the garden, the PX100 tends to slide off of my head.

I have both, but my PX100's died. I liked the KSC75's a bit more though, I felt the detail of the Koss was the difference.

I'll stick to using the KSC-75 for portables. They are so cheap and good and can easily be put away.
