After reading this I am intrigued by the Sony EX71s:
Reviews of Sony
EX71, ETY4S, Sure E2C
That is one kick-a@@ write up and I'm now persuaded that earbuds have some inherent sonic advantages.
Thanks to BlessingX for the link!!!!
I've searched head-fi and I see that some head-fiers like the EX71s better than the E2s <*cough* Commando *cough*>, and some like the E2Cs better than the EX71s. So I am persuaded that we are into the realm of personal taste here, with perhaps the E2Cs winning on technical merit and isolation but perhaps the EX71s winning on comfort, ease of fit, groovability, price, and convenience.
Everything I read indicates the EX71s to be quite comfortable, and to have some extra bass. Are they like, rilly rilly comfortable?
It appears the EX51s may be the same sonically and spec wise as the EX71s -- any thoughts? Does anyone know this to be the case or not to be the case?
Do any of the mass market places (Best Buy or Circuit City, etc.) sell the EX71s or EX51s?
I see a recurring theme that the EX71s have a little extra bass (or a lot, depending who you ask). There appears to be no debate that they do have some extra bass. Who finds it groovin' and who finds it over-the-top?
I think those are my main questions. I have no earbuds, I think these might be nice.
Any comments are welcome. I am most interested in hearing what people think of these phones rather than suggestions for more expensive alternatives. If anyone found the EX71s too problematic in any way I'd like to hear that too.
