sony tricks u into thinking they are the only brand thats bringin it hard..

but shure is where its at.

Lots of proffesional djs use shur e3s, e4s, etc....

Shures for pros

Sonys for uninformed consumers who are easily satisfied.

At least with these types headphones.

sony does a lot of good stuff, and a lot of bad stuff.


i admit, the sony's make a decent sounding/conforming earbud but the freakin wire fray i just am learning to deal with.

i looked into shure, tried and tested both the e3c and e4c and i was impressed with the build and quality but its only manufacturer warranty for 2 years and there is plenty of jibber on the net about the left channel going out. now if im paying over $150USD for phones with a semi-trend of sound NOT coming out, i'd prefer to stick with the cheaper sony's and deal with the wire fray, atleast i get sound even though the wire looks like the rubber melted off and the exposed copper wire shows.

I think 2yr warranty for a $150+ product that will get used almost every day (especially for manahattanites who are on transit almost every day), isn't sufficient. Either make them cheaper and warranty them 2 years or keep the price and warranty them 5yrs.

Plus I've also read that Shure's warranty replacement program took upwards to 5weeks, 2weeks being the quickest. Sorry, 5 weeks is too much plus the shipping charges back to shure. Too much of a hassle...

The EX71s are comparable in price and quality, but you compromise with production over the cost and sound quality. either way i'm sitting until i find something decent. From what I heard, there is a pair of Panasonic's in the UK market that is almost identical to Sony's EX71 but haven't any on hand reviews...

edit
and to be fair to sony, i've heard the Sony EX71 J-Spec phones are made with a more durable wire covering unlike the USDM Version. Figures, Japan always keeps the good shit to themselves...just like the skyline!
