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!

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.

Headphones comparison : Sony MDR-EX71SL vs MDR-EX5

Hi folks,
Can somebody explain me the diff between the 2 mentioned headphones : Sony MDR-EX7SL vs MDR-EX5LP.
I've noticed many people on this forum promoting the EX7, and then SSR is often mentioning them side by side EX5/7 when making recommendation.
I can't seem to understand what the difference is between the 2. They seem to have the same tech specs. Is it in the wiring or the supplied case?
Background : I would be interested to get some headphones to augment my Zen Micro experience (mostly used on walk / train to work).
thanks for helping.
- Fred.
ps : this is not intended as a Sony commercial ;-)

So, anyone else has personal experience choosing between the 5 or 7? Here in Belgium, they don't seem to come cheap. I can find the 5 in a rather expensi've store for 45 EUR, and I found the 7 in a cheap store for 55 EUR. (multiply by .3 to get $ amounts).
and yes, I would guess you can easily find an extension cord for this type of cable, especially as there's (to my knowledge) no special feature to that supplied extension cord you lost (like e.g. there's no volume controller or so on it).

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-NC31EM No longer working as headphones, just mic

Tried with support but they couldn't replicate the issue, whenever I plug my MDR-NC31EM headphones in my phone it thinks it's a mic so no sound is played through them, at first I thought it was just the headphones themselves so I ordered a new pair but the new ones act just the same way, I don't believe it's a hardware problem since all other headphones I've tried work like they should, the problem also did occur at the same time as I updated to 4.4.4 so I'm wondering if it's a bug or something, does anybody else have the same issue? I did a software repair as adviced by the support at Sony but that didn't work, I don't know what to do, now I'm here with 100 bucks worth of headphones I can't use!

@munkiz
Glad to hear that it works now
@LondonZ2
Sorry to hear that you have this issue as well.
Could you please send me a PM with the information i asked for earlier?

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 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!

Replacement ligthning to sony micro usb cable for MDR-1ADAC headphone impossible to find

Hi there,
The subject speaks for itself, i lost the original cable that connects my iphone 6 lightning port with my Sony MDR-1ADAC headphone. Sony was so kind to design the cable with a weird switch pin on it so its impossible to use any other ones.
Even on the spare parts redirects there is nothing to find. To be clear i mean the digital USB type (lightning to weird sony micro usb)
If someone could tell me where to get this cable?

Hi Epleptic,
Please check the links below for further assistance.

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 V-6 Headphones

Has anyone discovderd these amazing headphones? They run sold on as little as .5 watt of power. I'm unsure if Sony still makes these but B&H still have them for $60. I alwauys loved the sound of the Eytomotic ER-6 earplug phones, but at full ipod volume my tired old ears could barely hear them. I find myself not even turnning the shuffle all the way up. I still wonder is these are still made of I found a wonderful new leftover.

Unfortunately, we can't tell if the MDR-RF925R Headphones will work with an HDMI-converter box as we have not tested it. However, you can always try the connection to see if they will work.

Sony MDR X05 Warranty

I bought a 2 year warranty with a pair of MDR xo5 headphones and now the headphone jack is messed, I was wondering if this is covered and what I can do?

Hi there Sleekvenom-
I just recently had to replace my Plantronics headphones that I had been using for about 5 years myself, so I’m sorry to hear you’re having problems with your Sony headphones.
Generally, our Geek Squad Protection (GSP) plan would offer repair of your product assuming that it is not physical damage that has caused the issue. In some instances, we can offer replacement instead under the GSP. However, in looking over your purchase history, it looks like you were already able to get into your local store and get everything taken care of with some new headphones.
I hope that they work out great for you and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to post back!
