My first post as a newbie. Firstly thanks to all for good posts/advice/comments etc. Been using ex71s for about a year. ( with N1/NH1 minidiscs and HD1 players) A couple of days ago the left side/speaker stopped dead ( though right side still fine) - my first thought was break in the lead somewhere? (Though I've been ultra careful not to pull/twist etc - always coil up gently and keep in a soft pouch. The plastic cylinder thingie sony give was always a no-no for me however!! .) So I've been thinking of upgrading to something like Ety6s?? Been mugging up on reviews and came across " if a channel stops working, detach the filter and clean etc etc". Could it be that my 71s (left side!) have somehow become "clogged" ?? Has anyone else suffered from this kind of thing? Is it a common fault with 71s? Is it rectifiable? ( though of course I appreciate that the sonys arent built like Ety6s with removable filter/micro screwdriver included etcetc!?)
To be honest I'm really only asking out of curiosity (!) because I've just about convinced myself that a better pair of earbuds is the answer. I like the look of the Ety6 (is Ety6i vastly different?? ) - many many people report how much better than 71s - but then I was impressed a year ago to "upgrade" from stock walkmans to 71s!! - but then others prefer Shures, Senns,UEs etc. I guess ( as many rightly say ) try...... and see what's best for YOU !! Thanks all.
