General Comments
Pretty good sound whilst the sony mdr-ex71's lasted. I rate the noise isolation quite highly, and found the buds very good at overcoming the horrendous techno background music at my Gym even at fairly modest volume from the player.
Unfortunately, I seem to be getting into the habit of writing reviews so long after purchasing items that they've already failed, so to complete the review - Right plug failed after 6ish months. I'd always kept the plugs clean, so wasn't anything as simple as wax plugging, just lousy build quality.
