becuase i cant always be bothered to take my eggos everywhere with me, and i cant wear my mx400s for longer than about, oh, 10 seconds without my ears hurting like hell. (that was a good purchase!)
whilst out and about with them today, i popped in the local sony centre as i was walking past and picked up a pair of MDR-ED31s for £25. (i'm sure not the cheapest, but this was about conveniance)
i could have got some ex71s (shures and the like being out of my price range for now) but i refuse to buy them anymore after having 2 pairs crap out in the left channel in less than a month for both.
here's a piccy of the buds:
i thought "meh, even if they sound like crap, it's only for odd occasions"
i've been listening all afternoon, and they are surpirsingly ok sounding (notice i say ok, let's not go overboard here).
not as comfy as ex71s, but not as ear bleedingly uncomfy as my mx400s (that was with foamies on btw).
FYI: i have quite small ears
the sound is comparable to the ex71, but doesn't sound as boomy and bloated in the bass to me as the 71s did (not that i found this a problem
but sometimes i did feel a tad overwhelmed)
i'm not worried about the cable crapping out either as it has a braided cable, and also has a nice little windy case thing to keep it all up together.
the little bumpy bits help keep the buds in your ear better than standard buds, and also provide a nice level of isolation.
i've been listening to it from my ihp-140, and i am pleasantly surprised.
like i say, it's no great shakes, but it's certainly a nice little bud for the price, and does it's job (being on the bus, walking around whilst shopping) quite well
