Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Created to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Sony's Fontopia earbuds, the MDR-EX70LP super-light, in-ear headphones are Sony's first closed-type Fontopia design. Their closed-type construction reinforces bass frequencies for powerful sound and reduces outside noise while keeping the sound from your earbuds from annoying others. The earbuds fit snugly, yet comfortably inside your ears during even active uses like dancing or running, and there's no hair-crushing headband to worry about, either.
Long-throw PET diaphragms deliver deep, extended bass down to an incredible 6 Hz rating, and their low mass enables extended high frequency response all the way out to 23,000 Hz (source material providing!).
The supplied soft, silicon earpads further reduce outside noise and provide long-lasting comfort. Two sizes accommodate a range of ears, and the earpads are washable, removable, and replaceable. The earbuds' oxygen-free-copper (OFC) cord ensures high signal transmission and low noise, and their gold-plated minijack (.125-inch) plug offers exceptional corrosion resistance and superb conductivity. Further, the L-shaped connecting jack reduces strain and cable wear when connected to a portable audio device.
The included compact carrying case offers vivid purple styling and neatly stores the earbuds and headphone cord when they're not in use. The case minimizes cord tangles, permitting partial windings to shorten the effective cord length during use. The high-impact case is ideal for pocket or backpack transport.
What's in the Box
Earbud headphones, a compact case, and two sets of earpads (large, small).

Tiny package really delivers,
By "spookyturtle" (Boston, MA - United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MDR-EX70LP Earbud Headphones (Electronics)
My recent personal audio trend has been downsizing. I bought a Nomad MuVo MP3 player from Creative Labs, and I wanted a earbud set that would parallel the size and tiny form of the player. I bought several, and these Sony MDR-EX70LP buds really stand out from the crowd.The rubber buds provide a fair barricade from unwanted noise from the Outside World (TM) while enjoying music. I've experienced no problem listening to music at a comfortable volume level, even while riding the subway, though it's not such perfect isolation that someone would need to shout to get my attention. Nor would that someone need to disrupt me; the same design prevents my music from leaking out and being a public disturbance, even in a quiet enviroment. Nice as that consideration is, it's secondary. Tertiary, even, because two very important factors make this earbud set even more of a winner: the second being that the sound quality is excellent. Not perfect. I've heard better bass reproduced from full over-the-ear headphones, but considering the size, it's still surprisingly good. Mid- and upper-range sounds are faithfully cast, and raising the volume becomes prohibitively painful before I've heard any distortion yet. The best aspect of the setup, though, is in the sheer comfort. Once I found the pair of buds best sized for my ear's form, I was glad for every penny I'd invested. On a long bus ride, I can turn to my side and not dislodge the buds or jab myself painfully awake. Despite my slightly unusually-shaped ears, the outer-canal placement lets these units deliver their payload right where it needs to go, even without pressing against my cartilge piercings. (At last, a perfect fit!) The included case is cleverly designed, allowing one to keep the buds accessible but protected when not in use, which I also consider a point of "comfort" - knowing my favorite mini-speakers won't be accidentally ruined. If you can appreciate quality sound and need a discreet, convenient earphone system, don't waste your money on an inferior system. Put it where it belongs, and put these little guys in your ears.

A bit bassy, bright treble, but otherwise an okay earphone,
By Andrew Tan (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MDR-EX70LP Earbud Headphones (Electronics)
If you're reading this review, chances are you're looking for a portable headphone. The Sony EX70LP was launched as part of Sony's 20th celebration of the Walkman. It is unique in Sony's portable headphone range in that this is one of those "in your ear canal" type of earphone. Comes with rubber tips and a special storage case for the earphones only (and not the cords).First impressions: this is one of the most comfortable ear-canal cans I've ever had. Once inserted properly, the rubber tips (come in 3 sizes) accomodate the remaining slacks (if any), providing very good isolation from external noises. Though not as good as the Etymotic ER4 series ... in this regard, it provides excellent value isolation-wise. It's also useful because others around you would not be disturbed from unduly sound leakages. I often use it when I sleep also because the earphone is "unnoticeable" after a short period of use. Sound: I'm not very good in describing the sounds in the most minute detail, but I will try to provide an overall picture. I tested it without an amp, since a majority of portable listeners do not carry portable amps with them. Before breaking in, I noticed the almost unbearable boomy lower bass and unnecessary brightness in the high-range mid-frequencies. The bass seemed to dominate the overall sound which is an undesirable quality for some listeners e.g. classical. After about 40 hours of breaking-in, the bass mellowed slightly, while the mid-range frequencies are slightly enhanced. Bass is still boomy though, so equaliser will play a part in improving its sound qualities, especially if listening via the PC. The weird thing about the EX70 is that I actually enjoy playing computer games with it. Maintenance/durability: Good for value. The rubber tips can be removed to be cleaned. The cords can "fold" quite easily if bent, so when storing, twirl the cords around 3 fingers and that should do it. :) Other comments: I must say first of all that this is probably the most moddable earphone in the market ... There are many ways to make it sound even better, which is of course a good thing. Nevertheless, I do urge that potential buyers try out the Aiwa HP-VX100 (another ear-canal can), Sennheiser MX400 and MX500 (normal earphone). They're way cheaper, and quite alot of people in head-fi think that they're way better than the Sony EX70 for value (in the sound department), especially the Aiwa. The Sony EX70 is not for everybody that's for sure (especially people who hates boomy bass), so I recommend trying first (it's widely available). ...

Sounds good,

This review is from: Sony MDR-EX70LP Earbud Headphones (Electronics)
I've gone through probably 20 ear buds throughout the years, various brands and different models and currently use these and am quite pleased. I like to listen to a variety of music that requires a good frequency response and these do a good job without spending too much. The sound is more than adequate with a range suitable for most music with a bass that isn't over the top. You get just enough bump and thump. The fit is the best of any I've used. A snug fit that closes the external sounds pretty much and cancels out unwanted interference to your music with the exception of wind when you are moving fast. When you are still they are perfect.I get plenty of use on the road with at times jarring movement and find that they do not fall out like many other models. Although the manufacturer does not recommended them for cycling they are perfect for tunes on the road. A good choice for comfort and above average sound reproduction. If you're looking for something to put in your ears to listen to your tunes than these indiscreetly stylish ear buds are for you.
