SONY MDREX71SL EARPHONES Headphones

Pros: Good fit & comfortable, Bass Quality, Long!
Cons: Too long!, impractical aspects of design, sound isn't perfect

At the time of buying the Sony MDR-EX71SL’s, I had been meaning to get a pair of in-ear earphones for what seemed like decades. My usual pair was simply incapable of sufficiently concentrating & funnelling sound – the base was leaking, and the ...

Pros: Far more comfortable than rigid earbuds, superb sound quality,
Cons: You can hear yourself chew, swallow, breathe . . .

Back in May, on my birthday, I received a nice silver iPod. I'd wanted one for sometime - its compactness, ease of use, and capacity were all appealing. However, what really sold me on an mp3 player was its size. It can be tucked easily in a pocket - ...

Pros: Sound. Comfort. Isolation.
Cons: Wiring.

We are here today to remember the dearly departed. These Sony MDR-EX71s lived far too short a life. Today we remember these Fontopias and their glorious life, which lasted just about a week. But what a wonderful week it was. For one week, they ...

Pros: Rich and full sound, great sonic isolation
Cons: Ridiculously short cord, extension cord too heavy and weighs down the left earbud

Introduction When my previous Sony EX70 earphones broke during a transatlantic flight, I immediately went to the nearest Sony shop to purchase a replacement. I found out that the EX70's had been replaced by the EX71's, which I ended up buying. ...

Pros: -Great sound for the price -Nice styling -Good for all types of music
Cons: -Asymmetrical cord is very inconvenient -Case is too small

General thoughts... I must begin by reminding the prospective buyer that there are not really any great sounding headphones in this price range - none at all! But is definitely useful to consider your options if this is indeed your price range. ...

Pros: Good sound, good bass, excellent quality for the price
Cons: Assymmetric design, case too small, silly extension cable design.

I received an ipod for Christmas, and so received a pair of the standard white ipod headphones. I wanted headphones that were a little better, and the local CompUSA store was closing. Ipod accessories were 30 percent off. So, I chose the ...

Pros: Noise cancelation, deep bass for ear buds, great accessories included, superb and comfortable fit
Cons: wiring layout is different, a bit expensive for some

Introduction As stated by some, Apple's standard iPod headphones are not the best. The sound quality for most is decent, but they often get twisted, and are all in all, pretty cheap. However, I used them because they were the best ear buds I ...

Pros: Comfort, snugness, noise isolation, great warm sound and bass response.
Cons: Earpiece cover can get lost, no cord clip.

Summary These are the headphones you want. There are some out there that sound more "true", and these do accentuate bass a bit, but in most situations these will provide a more satisfying sound while you're on the go. They also are very ...

Pros: Comfort, sound quality, included accessories, and appearance.
Cons: Around-the-head layout, cord length w/out extension

Very few things are as annoying to me as being stuck somewhere while being forced to listen to some inane conversation. Be it public transportation, at work or just standing in line, there always seems to be somebody proclaiming their painful opinions ...

Pros: Excellent sound, very generous bass response.
Cons: Wiring insulation of poor quality, degrades very quickly in contact with skin.

I have never liked earbuds. Since my very fist portable cassette player, I have used headphones. They are bigger, so they reproduce sound more accurately - so I thought. It took me 20 years before I met this guy in Stockholm who had two pairs of ...

Pros: Cheap, sound isolating, discreet for flying.
Cons: Mediocre sound quality (unless you have big ear canals).

In-ear sound isolating earphones seem to be all the rage these days. These are probably the entry-level players in that field, at about $30 street price. They come with three sizes of rubber gaskets; the smallest is still a little large for my ears. ...

Pros: Excellent frequency response and low bass production. Very good overall sound even at low volumes.
Cons: CORD-MADE OF INFERIOR MATERIAL-IS NOT DURABLE. Movements of cord can be loud.

I AM REVISING THIS REVIEW AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF USE. (UPDATED COMMENTS ARE IN ALL CAPS) I purchased these headphones at a local electronics store. With the guarantee and the ability to return locally, it seemed like a low-risk buy. IN HINDSIGHT, ...

Pros: Great sound quality, great in-ear comfort with silicone rubber earbuds.
Cons: The cord, the cord, the cord.

I bought these earbuds to replace the earbuds that came with my iPod. I did alot of research before buying them at Best Buy for $50. I thought this was alot for earbuds, but I didn't want to wait for an order from the internet, so I plunked down my $50 ...

Pros: very light weight, very comfortable
Cons: poor sound quality, rediculous cord design,

After reading positive reviews in many forums - I bought a pair, figuring these would give me equivalent sound quality (to my apple ear buds) while comfortably doing a better job of insulating my eardrums from outside ambient noise (in style). WRONG! ...

Pros: Great sound, unique fit, very comfortable for earbuds.
Cons: Poorly-made, bad case, heavy extension wire, expensive.

I bought these headphones after having the older MDR-EX70LP model break on me. The two models are almost identical. The major difference between the two is that this model has the option of using an extension wire or using an in-line remote. Since I ...
