Earbud holder and case are supplied.
In-Ear Design

These earbuds fit snugly yet comfortably inside the ear, eliminating the headband so you can enjoy music while exercising, dancing, skating, or whatever activities you love doing.

Soft, silicone earbuds reduce outside noise, help generate powerful bass response, and provide long-lasting comfort for hours of listening. As an added bonus, the earbuds are washable, removable, and replaceable.

Three sizes of earbuds are included to accomodate different ear types.

Super-Small 9 mm Drivers

These new drivers enable powerful sound with space left over for the earbuds, for added sonic isolation.

Long-Throw PET Diaphragm

This helps these earbuds deliver deep, extended bass, down to an incredible 6 Hz; and features low mass for extended high frequency response all the way out to 23,000 Hz.

Neodymium Magnet

Neodymium provides maximum energy in minimum size. Ounce for ounce, Neodymium is more powerful than other magnet materials. Even with the MDR-EX71SLs' small, 9 mm drivers, Neodymium achieves 100 dB of sound pressure output from a modest 1 mW input power.

Precious Metals

A gold-plated mini-plug offers exceptional corrosion resistance, superb conductivity, and low noise; ditto on the oxygen-free copper cord.

Compact Case

This high-impact purple case neatly stores the ear-buds and headphone cord when not in use, ideal for carrying in a pocket or backpack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect NYC commuting headphones, October 31, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones (Black) (Electronics)
Kudos to Sony.These earphones offer the best combination of isolation, sound quality, comfort, and easy on-and-off design. I am a commuter in NYC, and twice a day I walk a few blocks, take a bus for about 15 minutes and a subway for another 20 minutes. I used to use Koss KSC-35's, but their open-air design had me constantly changing volumes to deal with the various noise levels. I also needed to put the volume on very high to deal with the subway, and I was afraid that I was harming my hearing. I tried the Sennheiser PX-200's and while real comfy, the isolation wasn't enough. Then I tried the Shure E2C's, but the only insert that would fit my small ear canals was the small foam pair. Since you need to take the time to roll these foam inserts up real small before inserting, then hold them in your ears till they expand, that made them very inconvenient for everyday on-and-off use. These Sony's are also a little more comfortable than the Shure E2C's. I have even tried the Koss Plugs,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The proof is in the preference, June 29, 2004
By 
Shane T. Stokes (Purchase, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones (Black) (Electronics)
First of all, I did ALOT of research on canal/earbud phones (including reading all of these reviews and many others on other websites) before settling on a pair for purchase. I am pretty much a audiophile however that doesn't mean I expect pefection with every purchase, I realize there's ALWAYS going to something that I wish sounded, worked or was designed better. I am also a bargain shopper not willing to shell out $500 and up for headphones, mainly because I cannot not afford it and I (like the rest of us) don't like being overcharged.
That being said, let me start with that fact that I actually purchased the Sony MDR-EX51LP's not the MDR-EX71SL's. The reason? After my research I discovered there's not much difference between the 2, save the short cord/extension problem you will read about later and the fact that they carried them at Best Buy which made it easier to return them if necessary (I came across comments that stated Amazon charges you if you decide to return the...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, terrible design, January 18, 2005
By 
RPP (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones (Black) (Electronics)
I own several pairs of headphones- Koss' "The Plug," Creative's earbuds, a pair of over-the-ear studio headphones from Sony, and this set. This set excels in some features, and fails miserably in others. First, the good:

SOUND
The sound quality in this pair is excellent. It blows all my other pairs away, hands-down. The sound is remarkably clear and crisp, and reproduces everything from Slayer to Debussy in incredible quality. The bass response isn't the same as Koss' The Plug, but unless you are an absolute bass fiend, you won't really notice. Once properly fit into the ears, these also create some passive noise reduction that helps quite a bit.

COMFORT
The rubber pads are far more comfortable than The Plug's scratchy plastic-and-foam design, which constantly hurt my ears. They're still in-the-ear, which can feel invasive to some people and can get tiresome after some time. However, this is the most comfortable pair of in-the-ear buds... Read more
