Supposedly world exclusive review. They gave it a very high rating which makes me want these. They seem to be a good take anywhere set of earphones. I don't like the Shure sound, and the Ety's are too hard to wear.

Has anyone tried these? How are they?
Thanks.

Then again, they gave the EX71s an insanely high review as well.

For 59 bucks, you might as well get some good portable cans, like the ATH-FC7s.

I've just read EX71s have a long burn in period, which might explain why a lot of people don't like them. Mine have hundreds of hours on them.

See the audiocubes customer reviews here.

I initially disliked the ex71's for their "fake" bass. They just sounded too bloated in the low end and generally weird all over. They fit alright, kind of took some working in. I like the idea of the ex81's, and I'm thinking i'll give them another chance. Anyone know a place other than audiocubes that sells them?

I've had the EX71s for over three years, and honestly, I barely heard a difference over time.

I went back to em after a good session with my new FC7s, and I wonder what the hell I saw in those buds; so very muddy, and nothing but bass, bass, bass.

I wouldn't mind as much if the bass was actually well-defined, but when it's so sloppy like in the EX71s, no thanks.

Forever is certainly a long period.. no doubt Sony people will snap these up in droves.

Oh btw... EX71 with earclips? what's the point???

EDIT: This sums up whether or not this review is for real or not
