I purchased this pair because I owned the MDR EX-300LP and I was very satisfied. That is when I decided to move up two steps. I ordered this pair and it was delivered two days later. However, I was very disappointed by the quality of the sound. The...

Beware

Clear, Loud and Comfortable. A bargain compared to many other "high-end" ear-buds

Long burn-in required. I say 50 hours but definitely worth it

Sony MDR-EX700's

The Sony MDR-EX700lp's are simply the best IEM model that I've owned. Before purchasing these, I've owned the Sony MDR-EX300s. Since I was happy with the Sony MDR-EX300s, I decided to upgrade to the Sony MDR-EX700s. These pair of earbuds really...
