Being that I just love music and that perhaps not everyone wants to be subjected to my particular favourite tracks as I sit in front of my pc or laptop I constantly use earphones. For a long time I was a great believer that earphones were earphones and there was no point in choosing one particular pair over another as they were pretty much all the same.... how wrong I was!! All the earphones I had used were the types that sit inside your ear but I was unaware that there was great benefit to be had from using earphones that actually sit in the ear canal rather than just in the outer ear crevice. This fact was pointed out to me by a good friend of mine who ...  Read the complete review

Initially these headphones take some getting used to, they fit snugly into the ear canal (3 different sized earbuds to suit different ears!), this means that a lot of external noise is blocked out. This helpd to improve the quality of the music as well as solving that anti social problem where headphones leak noise...if only they gave them out on buses! Although I'm no audiophile, the quality of the sound was greatly improved when I changed from cheap stock earphones, with better bass and range. As long as you are happy with the in ear sensation, the headphones are very comfortable even wearing for hours everyday. They also stay in well when exercising, ...  Read the complete review

Being a frequent flyer, and having a huge aversion to noise, I am often plagued by the inevitable screaming baby on planes. Usually behind me. Kicking my seat and generally being hateful. I seriously think there should be a law saying that you have to be at least, oh, 10, before you are allowed to travel by air. And if you take your baby on flights over two hours, shame on you. (I don't actually hate children, just those in on planes, buses, in supermarkets...I'm sure I will feel thoroughly sorry when I am a parent myself!) Anyway, there's my lecture over. Complaints aside, I needed a solution. Ear plugs just don't work - the frequencies achieved by a pissed ...  Read the complete review

I'm not going to beat around the bush with these head phones... THEY ARE AWESOME! I got a pair of these from my local sony retailer about 3 weeks ago. I had bought an ipod but the headphones had broken within 2 weeks of using them. after seeing the price for a new pair of ipod headphones (which i now hated with a passion) i decided i may aswell push the boat out and find some better headphones. the mdr-ex71sl's were recommended to me by a close friend of mine. when i finally located a pair, i thought they looked slightly cheap, but looks can be very decieving. the sound quality is amazing and the bass can actually be heard without a constant rattle or ...  Read the complete review

I've had these earphones for over a year now and had zero problems with them what so ever. I bought them for £25 which I thought was a bit steep at first but now after having them I think that was a good price for the quality of earphones they are. They are supplied with a range of accessories including a soft carrying pouch which comes in handy when travelling, to save them getting all tangled up around your player or in your pocket. Then there are three inter-changeable different sized ear buds that clip onto them very easy, they allow for people with different sized ears or what ever size feels more comfortableto them. I couldn't fit the medium sized ear ...  Read the complete review
