  sennheiser sorta overhyped and overpriced for the weak sound it is offering

  Not really, my PX200s are offering me great sound quality at S$116..When you buy over the ears or in-ears, you need to know how to get a good seal around or in your ears before you can get great sound quality..if you dunno how to get a good seal, you buy Grado, Crossroads, Shure or whatever brands also no use..
  
  I think Sennheiser is one of the best brands with best value out there..I wouls recommend it..especially the PX100/PX200 if you don't mind headbands and over-the-ears design..
  
  Note: PX100 is open design and PX200 is semi-close design..

  I think Bose's headphones is EVEN MORE overpriced and overrated..
  
  But even though I have Sennheiser now, I'm still eyeing a Shure E3c at least..but so freakin expensive..
  
  But I have to own a Shure at least once in my lifetime!

  crossroads in my opinion gives the best sound per dollar paid,...the mylar3s are superb..
  
  i dunnola..
  personal preference...i never was fascinated with sennheiser
  
  anywaes..in ears have a couple of different sized silicone sleeves for the ears..depends on what kinda sound and comfort u want out of it

  Yeah, a lot of people say Crossroads Mylar very value for money. Maybe I should try it
  
  I bought my Sennheiser PX200 because it was within my budget back then and I was bored of Audio-Technica because my THREE previous headphones all are Audio-Technicas..ATH-EQ22 (clip-ons), ATH-CK4 (in-ear) and ATH-EM5 (aluminium clip-ons).
  
  And I dunno why, but I fell in love with the sound quality of the PX200s immediately and after running it in, it sounded even better! It has the most balanced sound I guess. Audio-Technica sounds warm and soothing by concentrating on mid-range, but loses out to a lot of other headphones on treble and bass especially. But the Sennheiser is the most balanced, it manages treble and bass well enough and yet it doesn't sound clinical like Sony's headphones. It manages to sound warm enough, though not as warm as ATs, but all these is personal taste.
