Sony Mdr-Ex700Lp Earbud Style Headphones (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 emphasize the high end, while still giving a solid mid-bass. My only concern is that the low-bass is somewhat lacking. However, the sound is crystal clear and very WARM. I do not find the highs harsh at all. I find that the overemphasis on highs helps to bring out the outstanding clarity of sound that the Sony MDR-EX700s produce. I still have to burn these in, and after a couple of hours or so I am hoping that a little more bass kicks in. However, I am very pleased with the overall sound quality of the Sony MDR-EX700s.

It's been a little more than 50 hours of burn-in, and I am happy to report that the bass has increased quite a bit, while the sibilance has become non-existent. The Sony MDR-EX700s have greater clarity, balance, and precision than ever before. The lows and mids are very controlled, with a bass that has increased over time. I find that with dynamic drivers, it takes some burn-in time for the bass to increase. The highs are still very much emphasized. This combination provides a great balance and overall clarity that puts the Sony MDR-EX700s up there with the best high end IEM models. Overall, I am very impressed with the Sony MDR-EX700lp's now that the sibilance has gone away and the bass has settled in.

*UPDATE* 11/12/09
After listening to the Sony EX-700's for about 100-200 hours now, I can honestly say that the sound continues to get better. The sound is very detailed, and well-balanced. In comparing them with the previous IEM models that I've owned, such as the Sony EX-300lps, Sennheiser CX-500s, and Klipsch Image S4, I can truly say that the soundstage is brought out so much more, especially the mids and highs. The bass has become more present, and is at a rather pleasant level, without being too overpowering. With the previous IEM models that I used, I found that the bass overpowered the mids and highs, which caused them to be a bit muddy. However, this is not the case with the EX700s. I am still very pleased with them, and have had no cable problems at all, though I must say I have taken very good care of them.
