Title: Great for Mozart, not for Metallica
Review: These headphones are great for the home, at the office, or anytime when you're in a relatively quiet environment. As several other reviews have mentioned, these phones perform best in the mid-to-high frequencies, where the sound is crisp and vibrant. If you're listening to anything with a large dynamic range, you won't be disappointed.However, I agree that the bass is somewhat weak, though they're not nearly as bad as some reviews would have you believe. Putting them on carefully and adjusting them properly does make a difference, but these phones have simply been optimized for Mozart (or Dave Matthews), and not for Metallica.So if you're looking for a set of affordable phones to rock out with, or to listen to on the bus or subway, buy the PX100 instead. They've got much better bass, though at the cost of some of the clarity and crispness that the PX200 offers. I don't leave home without my iPod and my PX100s, but at home I usually reach for these PX200s.
