If you're planning on buying another canalphone afterwards, say the Shure's or Ety's, then I could assure you the EX71 would be a utter waste of space, if not money. (Flame suit on!)...OK just kidding, read on!
Unless you're like me, a person who's suffering from paranoia so that I'm afraid to bring my Shures even to the subway. Actually the EX71 allow me to listen to music when I'm sweating a lot during excercise or when I'm in places not suitable for audio stuff, like at a camp or expedition outdoors. IMO the EX71's beat the Shure e3c's at price, but honestly, they still really are at a different level or class. It's neutral and less shrill, without much cons to say about them except the detail. For the Shure's I can tell you for days about the brightness and the veil (yes, both coexist. no wonder people hate them)
Try the expenisve canalphones you'd want first. Get the Ety's / Shures and listen all the 30 days. Then return them. If you don't like their sound, maybe you'll be like Commando, and prefer the EX71.
But if your talking about the EX71's traits and pros, I guess a lot of other phones could offer a lot more without too much more a price.
