Ex1000 made me swore of anything that's not single dynamic.... It's what I wanted.. A hd800/T1 iem.... Only if the isolation is better I could use it everywhere.. :/

 

[tacomn]

any impressions on the ex1000 vs the ie80 if price was the same?

I recently used my MDR-EX1000 on 2 flights and want to share my experience.

On the Airbus A380, movies had a wonderful surround sound effect.
They reminded me of the surround sound systems found in cinemas.
Highly recommended if you are flying on one.

However, on the Boeing 777-200 (ER), there was an annoying "whining" sound in the left channel.
The MDR-EX1000 had too good a dynamic range and picked up the hum.
I had to resort to using the standard headphones supplied by the airline.

So I recommend taking another pair of spare headphones with you if you are planning to use these for in-flight entertainment.

Too bad the isolation isnt that good.... The last time I was on a380, i didnt use my ex1000.. Didn't bother cause of isolation. Btw Dont you need a airplane adapter too?

Yes, an airline dual plug ( male ) to single plug ( female ) adapter is required.

Hi guys, am planning to buy the EX series before they disappear and I am stuck between the mdr ex600 and mdr ex700. To give you an idea of my listening preference, I like clarity, crisp and detailed highs, punchy bass( not too much tho) like the mdr ex300. I bought the sony xba h1 and I didnt like it because the bass was overpowering, I heard the XBA 4 is quite bassy as well. Which one of the would you recommend me, the ex600 or ex700?

Guys, I know this ia an old post, but I just got my ex600 and it didn't come with a short (spare/second) cable If you or anyone you know has one (ex1000 also comes with that same short spare cable) that they don't need I will be were happy to take it off your/their hands.

BTW, I have ex1000, xba z5, a2, h3, xba-40, and h1 as well as xb90 and just got my ex600 and I absolutely love them!!! Very fun set, nothing is overemphasized, and the spaciousness is close to ex1000. I got them after reading some reviews (here) and, Oh boy I wish I read it soone Thanks!

Does anyone know if the EX-1000 (Japan) that are available now (Link) are NOS (new old stock) or recently manufactured and hopefully not counterfeit. The Amazon seller has good feedback and I was assured by Amazon that if all is not as described, I could return them for a full refund.

Why would you be suspicious?  I went back and looked up my order of these and found I bought them in May 2012 for $319 and change.

The reason I question is, I have no idea and haven't been able to verify how long these have been discontinued. To find a seller with NIB stock, after so many years, is a bit dubious.

Hi guys,
 
Is there an after market cable that can be bought for the EX1000?

Beat Audio (beataudiolab.com) makes cables for the EX1000. I have a Silver Sonic MKV for the  EX1000 with A&K 2.5mm TRRS termination.
