Sony MDR-EX71 In-Ear Earphones good

I saw in this forum queit alot using this Sony MDR-EX7 In-Ear Earphones
but also many mention it spoil easily....
I getting a new earpiece and plan to buy this mdr ex7 to attact to my zen mirco so need some users comments.
thanks

I've been using mine since I had the Nomad Jukebox .
And I've been recommending it to everyone since the old fourm days.
So I don't think comments that it breaks easily are true.
I've coiled it round my all players and it still sounds as good.
It's been coiled round my JB, Nomad IIc, Muvo .5G and now my Zen Micro 5G.
So it's been quite a journey for for this little Sony and I will definitely get another Sony when this one finally gives up the ghost.

  • Sony MDR-EX71

    hey everyone,
    i heard that the sony MDR-EX7 are a-m-a-z-i-n-g but all i hear are good things about it. So i was wondering if you could tell me if theres ANYTHING wrong with the Sony MDR-EX7?
    much appreciated.

    The sound quality isn't exactly the best in the world but they're still alot better than the rubbish earphones that come with most portable mp3 players. They simply have a fuller/richer sound, clear treble, decent mids and totally awesome bass, very much like a subwoofer; something that most supplied earphones can't even come close to reproducing. They perform best with music such as hip-hop, dance and heavy rock mainly due to the ear flapping bass. That said, they still sound great with more gentle music, although classical seems to sound the worst with the EX7s. For ?25 the sound is very good and totally enjoyable.
    The only problems I have with them is the length of the wires, they seem to be designed for giants! The 'neck chain' is poorly implemented and interferes with your clothes too much and can annoyingly pull on your earbuds due to the excess wire. The rubber texture of the wire seems to cause too much friction, especially when its placed underneath your jacket. Also, due to the "in ear" design (for better sound isolation), you get 'microphonics' which basically means that you can hear yourself crunch on food while eating, or hear any vibrations that travel up the wires. You usually get use to this after a few days, but it can be a wierd experience at first.
    Other than that, I still highly recommend the EX7s, they provide quite a major step up from supplied earphones in terms of sound quality and are not too expensi've. A good place to start if you're looking to improve your musical experience.

  • Sony MDR-EX71 / Zen xtra 3

    Is it true that earplugs / phones should be 'broken in' before using? I've heard that you should let loud music play through them for 24+ hours before using them, to ge the best sound (kinda like home speakers). Any feedback on this?

    It's a myth.

    i have a question about these earphones cord quality i heard that the white cord is made out of a fabric kind of materaial that really isn't that durable and rips quickly or so called "dissolves" i was wondering is this true and if the black version is made out of the same material? Because i use my mp3 player alot and i want good quality sound and i finally decided to get these headphone. Please help me i need a timely answer because i am about to buy them along with another zen touch thanx for all your help.

    Cause i had the sony mdr-j20 white versions and they cord quality on that was horribile it rip in just two weeks and i use my player just for commuting and while doing school work at home. and i heard it was the same type of cord on all sony white earphones and i really dont want to loose my money again in earphones. Thats why i was wondering that probably the black was better quality than the white version but i thank you for your help , i still don't know what to choose but i hope i make the right decision , by the way do you know of any retail stores that sell these headphones because i checked all the big names like compusa, bestbuy, staples and no of them carry it and info would help so that i can actually see the earphone before i buy them.

  • Recommend me some in-ear earphones

    I currently have the Apple in-ear earphones for iPhone 3G S. The problem that is well documented on these boards with Voice Control kicking in every 10-15 seconds when in the gym is driving me mad (something to do with moisture/sweat getting into them).
    I'm therefore in the market for a decent set of in-ear (i.e. the ones you push right into your ear with the changeable rubber caps) earphones. Can someone recommend some?
    Cheers

    Sennheiser CX300 - great headphones. They've got good quality sound but aren't so expensive (20-30 quid) that you'll mind wearing them at the gym.
    Only issue is with running with them - tendency to get loud thuds every time your feet hit the ground - but this is an issue with all of the IEM type headphones.
    I tend to use another pair of Sennheisers - the PMX 100 - which hook over the ears at the gym as they're better for running (although the ear pads do get saturated with sweat which is kind of nasty, but they are removable so I can at least clean them).

  • Instantaneous hearing loss using a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones

    Hello Sony, I am posting here to inform you of a life changing event which occurred June 5th while I was producing music with my Sony MDR-7506 headphones on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro.  Long story short, after years of listening to music at low volume levels and being proactive about the maximum output of my devices, I was accidently exposed to three very short blasts of 115 dB SPL noise (less than a second of time total) from my headphones which has given me permanent low frequency hearing loss in my left ear, persistent tinnitus and hyperacusis.   I'd like to mention that the documentation which came with the headphones states only the following precaution related to hearing loss:  "Avoid listening with your headphones at so loud a volume that extended play might affect your hearing”.  The documentation says nothing regarding the possibility of instantaneous hearing loss, and I believe this is something that should be mentioned in an effort to keep users informed.  I was not using any speciallized hardware amplifier, only these headphones and an Apple laptop.   I personally experienced about 115dB SPL (both calculated and measured), which caused my hearing loss, but these headphones can go up to 136 dB SPL (caclualted).  Normally the headphones will have a maximum dB SPL (calculated) close to around 120 dB SPL (macbook pro for example), and this is generally considered loud, but not permenantly damaging.  The fact I have had this serious damage done at only 115 dB SPL is an indication that not all ears are made the same, and as such, users should be warned of the possibilities.  In a recent interview with Jeffery Holt, an associate professor of otology at Harvard University, he is quoted saying, “The more we learn about it, the more we realize that the safe levels are actually lower than we thought previously”.   Personally, I believe it's time to incorperate a standard by which both amplifier and receiver will communicate to help better regulate the damge that can be done.  Such a technology would ensure the saftey of the users and eliminate accidents such as these while remaining relatively simple.  Such devices exist for specialized hardware, but there is the intrinsic difficulty in matching the impedences of the receiver and the amplifier.  A small RFID chip in the headphone cable could easily relay this information to the amplifier, which would then adjust the power output to ensure hearing loss does not occur.   Although such a technology would be wonderful, it is likely not very profitable, as most consumers don't really care to think about their hearing and may even prefer to keep the volume at unsafe levels.  So, I am currently only hoping to speak with someone at Sony about these issues, specifically about the possibility of having this warning added to the packaging of the headphones. Thank You 

    Hi veita, thank you for bringing your concern to Sony's attention. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Kindly PM me your day time phone number and your most convenient time for a call back. Thanks. - Charlie

  • After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones.  The headphones work fine with other devices.  I haven't moved to ios7 yet.  Any ideas?

    After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones.  The headphones work fine with other bluetooth devices.  I haven't moved to iOS7 yet.  Any ideas?

    What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
    And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

  • Sony MDR-1RBT with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

    I've successfully paired my new Sony MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone.  However, I can't get them to pair with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet.  Are they compatible?
    I held the button for 7 seconds until I heard the sound and the red/blue lights flashed.  The Galaxy Tab was discoverable but never found the headphones.  I tried restarting the tablet, restarting the headphones, etc.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated - these headphones were too expensive to not work with all my devices. 
    Solved!

    I figured this out today - I realized I had to hold the power button long enough to see a red flash and then keep holding until I hear a second tone and a red/blue flashing.  The unit paired right away when I did this.  Thanks!

  • Sony MDR-1RBT headphones have crackling or pops in audio when using bluetooth on my iMac - Mountain Lion

    I notice crackling noise or pops when I listen to music using my Sony MDR-1RBT bluetooth headphones with my 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 iMac running  OSX 10.8.5
    I do not hear the crackling when I listen to the headphones using my MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 with OSX 10.8.5
    I also do not hear the crackling when using wired connection to the headphones.
    So it would seem that something with the Bluetooth on the iMac is the problem. But I have no idea how to troubleshoot this further.
    Does anyone have any ideas what the cause may be?
    I am pretty sure that it is not interference from another device because I can connect to my MacBook Pro in the same area as my iMac with no crackling

    Hi Michael Erb1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It may also be worth resetting the NVRAM of your iMac to see if that helps with the crackling:
