How are:
MDRNC6
MDRG54LP
MDREX51LP
MDREX71SL
MDRV300
?
Any info or review on them?

[Edit] I know fairly a lot about ex51 and ex71 but whats the difference between them?

 

[hentai]

ex51 and ex71 no difference , only thing is ex71 looks nicer. they sound the same , bloomy bass with shirll treble

. sony e888 the one you should consider. Balanced sound with good clarity just that its fragile. or e828lp

He beat me to it

The MDR-V300 are terrible, especially considering the $50 tag. The muddiest sound you'll ever hear, completely overpowered by bass.

Is it true that the 51s have ONE piece cord and 71s have a separate extention?
I would like an e888, but in Sony Store Canada (Retail), these (cans on the list) are the only ones available to me.

Hello PrototypeX2,

I agree with MrXpress about the MDR-V300. Sony's lower-end line has NEVER been renowned; most other brands of headphones outperform the Sonys at the same price points. Practically every single sub-$50 Sony that I've ever listened to - including every single one of the models on your list - sounded harsh and/or muddy.

Too bad the only good headphone I can get my hands on is PX-100 (below $100 cdn), and the rest are...crap. I thought the next good heaphones were available at Sony but... I'm not sure now.

It sucks to be in your situation. The only good current Sony headphones on the market (consumer-line-wise) cost more than $300 CDN. (That is, if any such model is officially distributed in Canada.)

Sony MDR-XD300 ($35)
Sony MDR-XD400 ($60)

recently made domestic, they cost about 2x imported

Unfortunately, they're not yet available in Canada.

I can't believe Amazon doesn't ship to Canada.

Sony's Canadian site does not list the MDR-XD### series, either. Nor does SonyStyle Canada carry any of that line right now.

I'm really sad about my situation.
I can ONLY buy in local retail stores, not even internet stores in Canada. (I know it's sad).
What should I do!?!?!?!?@#@!#$%

If you really don't need the isolation, the px100s are just wonderful. They're my most used set. A lot of people will complain about sound of the ex71s, but that's still only a handful. Many like me still enjoy them, and have no problems with sensitivity to the sound that they produce. And yes, the EX71s have a two-piece cord.
