Digital camera reviews of Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones with Case (White)Digital camera Review: I can't believe they're this inexpensive! Summary: 5 StarsI just received my second set of these earbuds. I wanted to buy some more before they were discontinued. Sony, if you are listening, keep making the MDR-EX71SLA! These are the second best sounding earbuds I've ever owned, the first being the Shure E5's, but those shure buds are in a totally different class and with a $500 price tag, I'll not be getting them again.
Pros: Sound quality is fantastic...better than anything else of Sony's that I've ever heard, and I've tried all the Best Buy Sony earbuds. I even bought a pair of Bose earbuds, but immediately returned them because they are way too boomy, lacking in good definition in the mid-high range. I even bought a set of Shure e210 buds, but also returned them the same day. I'm noot paying nearly $200 for crappy sounding earbuds. These little white sony earbuds beat them all in my opinion. Crystal Clear higs, very nice midrange and astounding bass, when the song calls for it, not all the time. The Sound Isolation of the soft rubber is nice as well, I drive a large vehicle and I can hear all the pick noise, soft nuances and quiet bonus material that's on many tracks, but that only people with good hearing and great equipment can hear. I like the short version of the cables when my Ipod is in my front pocket. I also like the soft rubber that surrounds the buds (white rubber) because it's more comfortable on the ears and face.
Cons: the dang rubber ear canal thingies will fall off after time. My solution has been to buy a super cheap set of earbuds costing $6 that have the same size rubber thingies and use them as spares. Also, I'm not too hot on the left ear cable being so short, like others have said. But it's a small price to pay.
Summary of Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones with Case (White)Fontopia? Headphones in-the-ear design --- fits snugly, yet comfortably inside the ear; eliminates the headband so you can enjoy music while exercising, skating or dancing Sony's first closed-type Fontopia design --- reduces outside noise for high-intensity listening; helps generate powerful, resonant bass response New, super-small 9 mm drivers --- are a key enabling technology; ultra-compact drivers produce powerful sound with space left over for the sonic isolation of Sony's newly-designed silicon earbuds Many noise-reducing headphones feature large, over-the-head or behind-the- neck headbands, making them rather bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light, in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tunes. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra- small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drives and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones (all the way up to 23 kHz). Listeners will also dig the three sizes of earbuds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes while enjoying long-lasting comfort. And thanks to the dual cord lengths--1.65 feet (original) and a 2.3-foot extension--the phones are great for both iPods and MP3 players on armbands or belt clips. Other details include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that slips easily into a shirt pocket. The 100 mW phones, whose white color matches iPods perfectly, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.
