The Sony MDR-EX71SL's - excellence is a little way off...

byicicleie Dec 21, 2005
46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good fit & comfortable, Bass Quality, Long!
Cons Too long!, impractical aspects of design, sound isn't perfect
Recommended it? Yes

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 treble was fighting an only-just-winning battle against... Read full review »

Death Of An Earbud

byunderdawg Apr 7, 2005
29 Helpfuls 30 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sound. Comfort. Isolation.
Cons Wiring.
Recommended it? Yes

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 matched my iPod perfectly. And not just... Read full review »

Matty and Her Unfeasibly Small Headphones

bymattygroves Nov 18, 2005
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Far more comfortable than rigid earbuds, superb sound quality,
Cons You can hear yourself chew, swallow, breathe . . .
Recommended it? Yes

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 - even in jeans pockets (and I, probably... Read full review »

Great sound for the price, hampered by flawed design

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

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.

Some thoughts about "in the ear"... Read full review »

Hands down, the best earphones I have ever tried

bymimoid Dec 28, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Rich and full sound, great sonic isolation
Cons Ridiculously short cord, extension cord too heavy and weighs down the left earbud
Recommended it? Yes

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.

Full Spectrum, Noise Rejection, BUT CORD MATERIAL FALLS APART!

bygearguru Oct 26, 2005
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent frequency response and low bass production. Very good overall sound even at low...
Cons CORD-MADE OF INFERIOR MATERIAL-IS NOT DURABLE. Movements of cord can be loud.
Recommended it? No

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, I SHOULD HAVE PAID EXTRA FOR... Read full review »

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



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 Sony MDR-EX71 headphones as the best they had.

These earbuds sound great but are extremely poor quality!

bydouglw Mar 3, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great sound quality, great in-ear comfort with silicone rubber earbuds.
Cons The cord, the cord, the cord.
Recommended it? No

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 and went home to try them out.

Compact package, mediocre sound, tangled cables.

bynhunt Aug 16, 2005
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, sound isolating, discreet for flying.
Cons Mediocre sound quality (unless you have big ear canals).
Recommended it? No

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. They seem to fit comfortably in my... Read full review »

Great Sound, Difficult to move around with these

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great bass. Rich but delicate sound.
Cons Indiana Jones-length main cord coupled with the extra-short left ear cord.
Recommended it? No

I purchased these to replace the rather uncomfortable Apple earbuds that came with my iPod.

What I needed:
1. Something that would be have some sound-dampening ability since I use my iPod on the subway and commuter rail. I didn't want to hear the woman next to me yacking on the... Read full review »
