I have never seen the px200s so can't be specific about those. There have
been some comparisons of both on
www.headwize.com
And
www.headphone.com

They do have a different sound as the px200s are closed and the px100s are
open phones. Nice present though!

Best regards,

Rob,

Yes, they fold, and they come in a plastic case. The padded driver
enclosures swivel at a 90 degree angle, and the headband has a joint on
either side above each ear piece where they fold. After being folded
properly, they fit in the plastic case and the cord wraps around the edge of
the case. Once everything is done properly, the case closes. At first it
is a bit tricky figuring out exactly how it all fits together, but once you
do it a time or 2 it's easy and they take up very little room.

Best regards,

Oh Wow Rick, how do you mean re folding?? the 200's are exactly the same
design with a different set of ear-pieces apparently. Does the headband
fold? suppose they don't come with a case, though the cord always gets
tangled in boxes!. My brother ordered them for me, I heard his 100's, and
he said that he'd found a closed back version, so he bought them for me for
my birthday.

he is nice really, even though his nickname's the Mule, (Asimov fans will
get that one. it came about first because we reckoned his farts would
destroy a planet!, and second because his face is on upside down!..

Yes, I agree. I now have both the PortaPros and the Sennheiser PX100 and
have been able to compare them. They both sound great for their price
range, but I feel the PX100s sound better, at least to me. They have more
detail in the highs, but the bass is still deep and satisfying. Generally,
they have a more balanced sound than the PortaPros and they fold up like a
pair of glasses sort of.

I have the PX100 and it's great too.
