seani's Full Review: Sony MDR-EX81LP/B Consumer Headphones
I bought these as replacements for a pair of cheap Ross headphones for the gym. My MDR EX71s are excellent, but they don't stay in very long, the cord tangles easily, noises are transmitted through the cord via friction, and the asymmetrical leads have an irritating way of dragging on one ear.
The EX81s look as if they solve the problem of the buds being pulled out. In practice, they only prevent the earphone from falling off the ear itself; the earbud (usually the left one on the short lead) works loose and the bud is left dangling from its hook on your ear.
The hooks don't adjust in any way, so if your ears aren't a suitable size, you may experience the same problem.
On the plus side, the buds have good isolation and quality (IMO), and their sensitivity means that my MP3 player needs only a fraction of the volume I have to use with other phones for good results.
Disappointing: an opportunity squandered to make these ideal gym phones.
