Amazon.com Product Description

Many noise-reducing headphones feature large, over-the-head or behind-the- neck headbands, making them rather bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light, in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tunes. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra- small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drives and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones (all the way up to 23 kHz). Listeners will also dig the three sizes of earbuds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes while enjoying long-lasting comfort. And thanks to the dual cord lengths--1.65 feet (original) and a 2.3-foot extension--the phones are great for both iPods and MP3 players on armbands or belt clips.

Other details include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that slips easily into a shirt pocket. The 100 mW phones, whose black color matches many MP3 players, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

4 out of 5 stars Wow amazing headphones.......2007-12-24

I was a little scared to buy these headphones after reading poor reviews I bought these anyway and they blow my stock ipod ear phones away. I barely have to turn the volume up to get great sound. I might be ordering two more of these one for my brother and an extra for me. Yes the cord can be annoying and makes no sense why sony made one cord longer than the other,but who cares when you get comfortable fit and nice sound. If it wasn't for the cord design these would get 5 stars. These are my first set of in the ear headphones.

4 out of 5 stars ok.......2007-12-20

I love the sound quality and I used them every day at work for 11-12 hrs this summer - very comfortable. I personally like the long length of the cord when walking around campus, easy to put my mp3 player in my purse or in my coat. Granted I dont know why you would ever need such a short cord.. so the extension is necessary. The silver piece that goes over where the wires connect broke for me.. it doesn't stay in place. If I'm not careful with them I have bare wires showing where they connect - this happened after about two years of heavy use. Over all I'm pretty happy with these headphones.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible.......2007-12-19

Sound okay. Assymetrical cord is ridiculous unless you like all the weight on one ear. Cord material is some garbage rubber that tangles up on itself much easier than anything I've used. Rubber disintegrates very quickly from normal perspiration. They're junk, period.

3 out of 5 stars decent.......2007-12-14

good sound, but the cord is a bit long and heavy at times due to the connection at extention

5 out of 5 stars the BEST earphones!.......2007-12-13

Bought these a few weeks ago... they work great. They are comfortable in your ear. It blocks out a lot of the background noise so you can actually hear the music without having to turn the volume up! The earphones come with one side longer than the other. This is because the longer side is supposed to go BEHIND your neck. It also comes with an extension. Without the extension, it's too short for normal use. However, if you have an ipod shuffle or an armband for your ipod, then it's perfect length. Otherwise, you'll have to use the extension. The sound quality is great! I love these earphones

5 out of 5 stars Great Headphones.......2007-12-08

These are the best and most comfortable headphones on the market. They block out external sounds when working out at the gym or other areas where you don't want to hear people. The sound is rich - Neither too much or too little base or treble. And if you want more intense sound then just push in the earbuds a little more. I had a prior set of these earphones for about two years but they went dead so I replaced them with a newer version which are just as good.

1 out of 5 stars Not for everyone..........2007-11-15

I've bought these earphones for my Ipod, but was very disappointed with the way they fit. They actually didn't fit me at all. The big loop that goes above my ear, would just hang there without even touching my ear. I was hoping that I could go running with them, and they would be much better than the regular earphones, since these supposedly would stay on my ears without falling out and release the pressure off of my ear canal by hanging over my ears, but that wasn't the case. I wouldn't say that I have small ears, but these are definitely not for every user.
Other than that, they seem to be of a very high quality and sound pretty good. I wish they were adjustable!

5 out of 5 stars Great set of earphones!.......2007-11-13

I'm really enjoying my new Sony earplugs! They work great, stay on my ears at the gym and sound out of this world! Lots of highs and lows, very pleased!

1 out of 5 stars A big disappointment.......2007-11-12

I use an mp3 player for exercising at a fitness center, where the ambient noise level is high. Most earbuds that I have tried have had too low a maximum volume. Recently, I have been using a pair of earbuds (supplied with my player) that had good quality sound and higher-than-average volume. However, these advantages were cancelled out by but poor placement in the ear, resulting in serious reduction of volume and degradement of sound quality.

Frustrated, I decided to try to find good in-canal earbuds, settling on the Sony EX81LP earphones. However, I was disappointed upon receiving them to discover that their maximum volume was not nearly as high as that of the earbuds I had been using and that the basses were unusually weak, giving the sound an unattractively brassy quality. I found the over-the-ear frames cumbersome to put on. I also found that they detracted from my ability to keep the buds in the ear canal, since they were inflexible and forced the buds to enter the ear at the wrong angle. As a result, I was unable to keep a tight enough fit to block the ambient noise of the gym. To top it all off, after just two weeks the right earpiece lost most of its volume, rendering the earbuds useless.

(After more research I ordered and received a pair of V-Moda Bass-Freq earbudsV-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds - Bling Bling Black. Finally I had found what I was looking for -- high enough maximum volume for my needs, earbuds that fit neatly in my ear canals and stay there and a really rich sound spectrum, including, as the name implies, a satisfying bass level.)

5 out of 5 stars just love them.......2007-11-09

fits my ear perfectly,, and do not fall of even when I play racquetball. the sound clarity is excellent all by itself but when accompanied by a good music player it would open a completely different world altogether. This earphone set comes with a case that it fits in perfectly. As we know the storage of our earphones is always a big mess. Best for people on the move .
