Sony mdr-ex71 earphones problems anyo

Hi everyone...
so i'm walking to school today.. plug in my good ol' 7's into my micro and what do i hear? nothing out of left year... at first i'm thinking.. oh.. the plug's not in complete.. so i give it a push.. and what do u know.. it won't go down any further... my heart skips a beat... could it be? could my baby be dead?
i get to school and plug in my headphones... and then i find out it's my 2 week old mdr7's that have crapped out... what the hell? anyone else have a problem w/ these?
sigh... back to the creative crap now...
-ap0x

i've double checked my micro.. it's fine thank god!
wow... i never did any research on the sonys in terms of build quality... my friend who has them has told me they sound very good and i agreed after i got them
just can't believe they would crap out on me just 2 weeks into now... now that i did some research... many people around have had problems with them crapping out... blah...
what does suck is that my friend bought these for me from amazon... in the states... i'm in canada... anyone know how warrantee would go in this case? directly to sony? or amazon?

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.

Sony MDR-EX81LP He

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.

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:

Sony MDR 1R Headphones compatability with Lumia 92...

Hi
Would you have used the Sony MDR 1R Headphones "wired type" with Lumia 920, using Sony supplied iPhone cable. If the phones work with headphone connection on the 920. Cheers
Mobiles sure aint what they used to be. They get better

I would not know why not, but I have neither the 920 (use a 620) nor the MDR 1R headset (use SOny earbuds or a set of MDR V700 cans which sound just fine to me

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?

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.

Earphone problem with C6-01

Hi.
I'm having an earphone problem with my C6-01 since Belle update. The phone doesn't recognise them and there is not even a message about that. I've been searching for a long time, I know there already exist a lot of discussions but none of them helped me.
Earphones do work properly, I've tried them with other devices many times. Tried different settings on Menu > Settings > Phone > Accessories. Done soft and hard resets. Also reinstalled the update and I'm sure that there wasn't any disconnection or something. Finally I had taken it to the Nokia Care point two weeks ago, it came back today but the problem is still there.
I don't want to downgrade due to its risk.
So, any suggestions?

It is not possible to downgrade any software version currently on Nokia phones, from Belle to Anna, or Anna to original Symbian^3, or any other phones. If they have returned your phone, your best bet is to go back to your local Nokia Care point with your earphones and another device, and demonstrate to them that it really is not working. I recall that a couple of years ago I had a problem with my Nokia, and had to take it back three times despite being told that my music contained viruses and that had been causing the problems.....finally they replaced my phone with a new handset. Be persistent.

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.

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 Sony MDR-EX51LP vs. Sony MDR-EX7

whats the difference between the Sony MDR-EX5LP and the Sony MDR-EX7SL. i've looked at the specs and besides the price, i dont really see the difference. also if any of you have owned one of them please tell me how they are. thanks
-austin

Here's a pic of the ex5sp and ex7sl. The ex5 in this pic are the SP which has a short cord and a straight plug instead. The LP have a regular length cord with a L plug.
Looks like the differences are:
Ex7 has a nice silver reinforced cover at the Y of the headphones that says MDR-EX7 on it. They also come with a seperate extension cable with a L plug at the end of it. So you can use them without the extension in a remote or add the extension for regular length without a remote. The newer EX7sl also come with a hard plastic silver box to put the headphones in (instead of the soft bag pictured here). The 5's don't come with a case (only the headphone protector thingy).
The 5's are available in 3 colors instead of just black and white like the 7s are.
BTW. The ex7s are $29.7 USD with free shipping at Amazon.com in the US. Great deal!
