Sony MDR-EX71

Pretty good sound whilst the sony mdr-ex71's lasted. I rate the noise isolation quite highly, and found the buds very good at overcoming the horrendous techno background music at my Gym even at fairly modest volume from the player.

Unfortunately, I seem to be getting into the habit of writing reviews so long after purchasing items that they've already failed, so to complete the review - Right plug failed after 6ish months. I'd always kept the plugs clean, so wasn't anything as simple as wax plugging, just lousy build quality.

its giving a very bad performance for such high price. sony earphones are not durable .....its connecting chord is easily getting damaged

Excellent Sound Quality. Comfortable. Long cord length. The headphones can be detached from the cord (useful if you snag the cord)

Not supplied with a bag to store them when not in use.

The Sony MDR-EX71 aren't a cheap pair of headphones, but worth the money for the sound quality.

1. Sound quality - Good bass response, decent to good trebles and mids. Blocks out external noise pretty well.2. Comfortableness - Extremely easy on my ears. I can wear for hours without noticing they are there.3. I like how it goes behind your head instead of dangling in the front. Great buy, worth the 30 dollars. Make sure to break them in.

The EDR-EX71s have got good sound quality and ambient noise reduction. There are also very comfortable for the price and are nicely designed. However i found them not to be very hard wearing as one of the headphones stopped working after about 2 years. A good bargain in terms of sound quality but id advise spending a bit more if you want something that will last.

If like me you're looking for cheap but good quality in-ear headphones... then the Sony MDR-EX71 is a good choice now that they're disappearing (i picked the last ones in the whole fnac spain via web) mdr-ex75 is also good choice (45 ' ret price now) but if you can find this ones on the cheap, I would bet that the transducer is pretty much the same. If you have enough money go further for some shure noise cancelling, but for me, studying (low cost everything please) are perfect.

These headphones are nothing short of amazing value. The bass response is brilliant, they are comfortable and as they sit in ear really snugly, they block out ambient noise- great if you're on a 'plane or similar noisy environment.I have used them for many years, and only just replaced my first pair due to eventual wear and tear of daily use for 4 years. Pretty good for £20 I'd say.

The Sony MDR-EX71 headphones are nice, I think I just got a defected pair. Shortly after i bought them the left earphone sound began to fade. it still plays but the sound is quieter than my right headphone.

I give the Sony MDR-EX71 'two thumbs up' in sound quality and comfort. A serious consideration for anyone wishing quality sound from their MP3 player.

The Sony MDR-EX71 has a nice fit, Clear sound, Punchy bass Overall a good value for money headphone!
