Might have to give these a try!
The last pair of sonys I bought are falling appart.

I did recenly buy some Audio Technica in ear headphones that are pretty good. Expensive too, 15.000 yen.

I wonder how much these new sony ones will cost?

I quite like the fact that these have those silicon plugs at the end.

It should help to drown out noise and keep them in your ear rather than falling all over the place and getting tangled arround some short school girl runing in front of you!

The fact that in ear headphones tend to fall off is the worst thing about them. These might be a bit better.

9mms feel good, but having an extra bit sticking out from the silicon maybe a bit awkward…

my Sony MDR-EX71SL wires are torn and dont look good after fixing them with gaffer tape, so i dunno if i can trust sony again…the quality was so crap, also too they were the Made in Japan ones, not the Made in China ones…

Also according to the diagram, the sound reproduction isnt going directly into the earbud extension, more like into the housing rather through the silicon. Compare to the 9mm, the sound is directly output through into the silicon to the ear, whilst the 13mm doesnt look as direct.

But i’ll c if im gonna buy these earphones in the near future, i dunno if i can trust sony again…
