Posted by Aenn Seidhe Priest
Someone out there (apparently based in the US) has been looking for advice on whether Equation Audio RP-21 or Sennheiser PX100 are the “better” choice. Short answer is… There’s no such as a “better” choice when it comes to headphones (and pretty much anything else, really). There’s what may fit a certain role, and there’re several models from several makers that fulfil the same role.
Sennheiser PX100 are small, foldable, portable headphones that can fit into a pocket-sized case. Sounding-wise they’re nothing too special - analytical, “cheerful” and not very natural. PX100 have a nasty dip in the midrange that makes them sound somewhat thinnish and artificial. There’re much better choices for the same money.
RP-21 are closed DJ headphones. They’re the portable equivalent of disco speakers, with a similar (though more controlled) boominess and bassiness. They can provide a pretty good representation of such a setup for a DJ. RP-21 also have a penchant for bringing out drums, percussion and bass instruments forward (again, like disco speakers) while hiding some of the details. Some listeners like that, as the RP-21 make bass-heavy instruments sound “larger-than-life”, and their “prettifying” the mix hides some of the inherent harshness of heavily compressed MP3 files and CD audio. RP-21 also have a synergy with raw synth instruments (saw, sine, square, etc. waves).
However, for a listener and even for professional work, unless the buyer is a DJ aiming to work at a disco with boomy speakers, the Denon AH-D1000 might be a better choice. Costing around $100, just like RP-21, but with much warmer, intimate and sparkling presentation. Weighing half as much and more comfortable than the RP-21. Just as efficient. The AH-D1000 also are excellent portable headphones, and so are a good choice against the PX100 (though AH-D1000 are twice as expensive, the difference in realism and comfort makes up for it).
Then there’s the new lineup of Denon, AH-D301, AH-D501 and AH-D1001, which are the 2008 models. All are full-size circumaural headphones, AH-D301 with a suggested US retail price of $40, AH-D501 $60, and AH-D1001 $100+. They’ve not made it to stores yet (the US Denon website doesn’t even have photos), but any of those ought to have a value and performance superior to PX100. All are full-size headphones without any hint of the “toyish” sounding of PX100.
Some other alternatives are AKG’s K-81DJ (closed, foldable, $60), K-24P (open, foldable mini, direct PX100 equivalent, $29), and, of course, the K-240 Studio (semi-open, $96), which have a much more natural and much larger soundstage than the RP-21 (RP-21 have a constrained soundstage; smaller than that of the K-240, and RP-21 aren’t nearly as good with 3D space).
Pioneer also make portable headphones, SE-MJ3B are closed supra-aural mini headphones ($46).
A bit larger model that could be an alternative to both the PX100 and RP-21 is the SE-M390 (semi-open circumaural, $56).
For guitar-based music, Alessandro MS-1 are often considered to be the best headphones under $100. Those cost $99, shipping worldwide included.
Equation Audio price drop in the UK, Yeeeaahhh, Finally!
For those of us, unfortunate enough to get ripped off for the price of headphones, there’s now a big reprieve in the form of the Equation Audio range. For anyone looking for DJ headphones, the Equation Audio RP21, now has a huge following, and with good reason. They’re (still) fairly new and fresh, and I think they’re better than the Sennheiser HD280’s.
They are very suitable for home use as well as professional DJ’s alike, and at (current price) £45, they a steel. Now for those off you that think that’s to much, let me remind you ladies and gents that I paid over twice as much as that, so I could write this review for you, so £45 is a bargain.
So Why has this site given most of it’s attention to the Equation Audio Headphones? Simple, because they are so good, and even more so with the dramatic price drop both in the UK and the U.S.
The RP 21 headphones have first class sound staging, good but not overpowering bass weight and my money would go towards a pair of RP21’s rather than the lower end Grado’s (SR60 & SR80).

I’ve put a post up on the forum. Click the image, and you know the rest!
My push for you to get the Equation RP21 headphones for a measly $80 continues.
So why would people buy the Sennheiser HD280?
1) Sennheiser are a good name.
2) because you’ve heard the HD280 before and you like the sound.
3) You’ve read some good reviews.
4) Sennheiser are a good name.
The thing is, for the most part Sennheiser isn’t a bad option. You could get a lot worse. Sennheiser has some brilliant headphones, the HD25-1 MKII, the Audiophile HD range, including the flagship HD650. For all my bashing, the PX100 and PX200’s aren’t a bad pair of headphones… …it’s just the Grado iGrado can cream them both… and not by a small margin either!
However the simple fact is there are better headphones than Sennheiser headphones, the iGrado’s prove that. So you are missing out on… …well in the case of HD280 vs. RP-21, you’ll be missing out on deeper and bass, and great sound staging for a start, not to mention great build quality. The HD280 design is dark grey (or silver), the RP-21 are a fresh design, with their flashy copper ear cups.
2) because you’ve heard the HD280 before and you like the sound.
So you’ve tried a pair of HD280. Experiment, be adventurous, try something new, you may be surprised. I was! I’ve gotten away from buying the same old stuff, sticking with the same old names, and for the most part I’ve been well rewarded. The CrossRoads MylarOne X3 earphones are wonderful! The RP-21 superb! Try something new today!
3) You’ve read some good reviews.
So you’ve read a few good reviews. Let your ears be the judge. Go to forums, read real people’s experiences, not just mass-marketed hype and spin review from the usual horde of large, well-known websites.
Get yours, Today!
There are very few, superb, ‘grab yours now!’ headphone deals out there. I mean real bargain deals, and the Equation Audio RP-21 headphone deal is one of those. I paid $149 plus I got stung £26… ($52) by customs. So I paid $200, and now they’re going for $80 (plus shipping), that’s a bargain in anyone’s book.
Grab your RP-21 headphones now, you won’t regret it!
How comfortable are the RP21’s?
The first thing I’d like to say about headphone comfort is that the Denon AH-D1000 headphones are far and away the most comfortable headphones I have ever had the pleasure of owning. For more details of the test between the Denon Ah-D1000 vs. Equation Audio RP21 headphones, then click the link that you’ve just past (membership is required).
Equation Audio Comfort
So how are they? Well to be honest, when I first got them I might have been a bit harsh about the comfort of the RP-21 headphones. Sure they not going to win any competitions and I thought the leather ear pads, were made of leather that’s come from a Rhino’s posterior, but a few months on I have to say, it’s not that bad really.
Yes, the ear pads are a bit on the firm side, there’s not much give in them, but there’s enough to do what they need to do. The ear pads are not those soft marsh mellow things you get on some headphones, ear pads that you know won’t last two minutes. Maybe a touch on the firm side, but you know that the RP21 ear pads will last a lifetime and beyond.
The bulky nature of the RP21’s are a given, because of the nature of their use. Marketed at DJ’s (but everyone needs to try these) I’ve yet to come across a dainty pair of DJ headphones. But the chunkiness is purposeful, and the extra chunky moving parts (swivel arms etc) have a distinct solid feel. Some folding headphones I have absolutely no confidence in, but the RP21 eartools feel like they’re built to last.
You feel the weight of these on your head, but it’s not an uncomfortable deal. I don’t get the bulky impression that I did when I owned the Sennheiser HD280 headphones. There was something awkward about the HD280’s that I just couldn’t get on with, but the RP21’s are a joy, as is the sound.
They do sit a little………strangely on my ears though. It’s not bad, just strange. I’m not sure that the reason for this is because I have a small head, but I get the feeling the drivers (covered in a beautiful soft padding) seems to sit on my ears, and the ear pads don’t feel as though they’re touching my head.
That night be a bit of an exaggeration, but the impression is that the ear pads aren’t pressing against my head, the drivers are. Now, it’s not uncomfortable, it’s just a strange feeling. The Sennheiser HD650’s for example, their ear pads are six inches deep, your ears won’t get anywhere near the drivers. But the RP21’s drivers sit very nicely and comfortably against your ears, whilst the ear pads seem to have a secondary purpose……..stopping sound leakage maybe.
So, to sum up, the RP21’s aren’t as comfortable as the the Denon AH-D1000 headphones, but nothing is, although bulky they’re not as cumbersome as the HD280’s and the drivers (covered on lovely soft padding) seem to have more contact with your ears than the ear pads. On comfort, the Equation Audio RP21’s score just above average, 6-7/10.
The only true rival to the HD280’s, are now cheaper. Is it ‘curtains’ for the 280’s?
My quest to get people off the Sennheiser HD280
headphones and onto the the brilliant Equation RP21 headphone, has just been given a violent shove, with a dramatic price reduction of the RP-21 headphones. So my plea is a simple one today. As someone who’s owned a pair of Sennheiser HD280 headphones, and who currently has a pair of Equation RP21 headphones, I say go with the equation RP21 headphones.
They sound fantastic, fulfilling my bass needs, which the HD280’s never did. The headband on my HD280 had cracks and stress fractures on them after 2 months, the RP-21 headphones have no such problem. The HD280’s are boring to look at, the Equation RP21’s are refreshing.
Basically, the RP21’s sound better, look better, are better built and they are new and refreshing, and if you’re considering either the HD280’s or even the Grado SR60 or SR80 headphones, then stop! Take a look at the RP21’s, they are very, very good, and at that price, you’d be foolish not to give them a second glance!
Don’t try this at home!
So Which One Of Them Are You Interested In?
Interesting outcome of the headphone review is waiting for you, but which headphones are you leaning towards? The sleek and detailed sound, the ‘oh so comfortable’ Denon D1000 headphones, or the deep, tight punch from the RP21’s. Either way, it’s going to be a hard choice for you!

Come and ask your question, on the new headphonedeals forum. Click here. I spent along time looking on forums before I had the Courage to join in. Your questions, view points, opinions, experiences are all very welcome and dare I say needed. I’m not the best educated when it comes to headphones, I’m just a guy with a hobby. Maybe you can teach me something new, in fact I know you can teach me something new.
Remember had it not been for people like yourself, sharing information, I wouldn’t have experienced half the headphones I now had. And, on top of that, I would have missed out! So come and join us, ask your question and show me something new.

Anyone familiar with the bible story of David and Goliath. Well in that version, David had faith in God, and won over Goliath who had proven himself to be mighty warrior.
You could say that the comparison between the Sennheiser PX100 and the Equation Audio RP21, is similar to the David’s (PX100) and Goliath (RP21) story. But I’m not sure in this version, David gonna do that well.
So why am I testing these two headphones against each other? Because someone out there is looking for it. What reason? I don’t have a clue! It’s not as though they’re similar in any way. The RP21’s are closed, the Px100’s are open. The RP21’s are huge, the PX100’s are small. The RP21’s are aimed at the DJ market, the PX100’s are for the IPod generation. The RP21’s are relatively unknown and the PX100’s are very well established.
So how do they sound side by side?
Starting with the Sennheiser PX100’s let’s play ‘Axwell - I Found You’. I bought my download from ITunes, but you can watch Axwell’s ‘I Found You’ on Youtube. This track make the Sennheiser model shine, although the highs are a little sharp. The sound staging is very good, with the main singer being in the center, as and when the Music dictates it.
I’m not going to make any huge claims on clarity and detail, but at the price it’s quite admirable. However making a quick switch to the iGrado, the Sennheiser set shows its shortcomings. The iGrados being better-detailed, and the midrange is more… …forward, which in this track is a bonus. The bass is more controlled with the iGrado, but if you’re a regular to Headphonesdeals, you’ll know my feelings on the iGrado. If not, then click here to find out more.
But this isn’t a test against the iGrado, it’s a test against the Equation Audio RP21. Are you ready for this? SWITCH.
The Equation Audio’s bass is what first hits you. The Sennheiser set can’t really compete, but you already knew that, didn’t you? Clarity has shot up 200%, and the sound staging is far more… …detailed. It’s easier to pick out certain sounds, than it is with the PX100’s.
Conclusion
There’s no surprise that the RP21 are the better headphones, but as I said before, it was a foregone conclusion really. The question you need to ask yourself is ‘what’s the application?’ At home the RP21 are fine, but I would be less happy, knowing I’d have to wear these around town.
They are a bit on the heavy side, and I’ve worn more comfortable headphones. For portable use, the Sennheisers would be the obvious choice, but you would sacrifice a lot of performance in choosing them.
It’s not an easy choice, but if it was my money (which it has been, because I have both headphones) it would be the RP21. Not only that, but with the addition of a reliable seller on EBay, the only person authorized to sell Equation Audio headphones on EBay, and with worldwide shipping available, then I’d be heading to EBay even quicker, with my card details in hand, if I was you!

I know how difficult it is to get hold of a pair of Equation Audio headphones (click here for more details).
