The Sony MDR-EX70LP Fontopia headphones have a nice little kit that comes with them. They also have a generous cord length.
Great sound quality, though they obviously don't match the out-of-ear headphones. The treble is great, and the bass is good. It is a great small package!
I personally don't like how far in your ear the headphones must go. If you don't push them right in then you don't get the fullness in sound. They completely block out any ambient noise, but because the seal is so good in your ear, any noise you make by moving your jaw or talking is really amplified.
Overall 7/10.

The Sony MDR-EX70LP Fontopia headphones are some of the best ear-buds I have ever used, and the bass is great. Sony made them great, but they cost so much.

I bought these as an upgrade to my MDR-228LP in-ear phones. I was disappointed in the sound so did a series of comparative tests and found I prefered the MDR-228LP.

Bass sound quite well defined but the bass is also quite good on the 228. I prefered the comfort of the 228s too.
One thing I did not do is "run them in", i.e. play ...

I purchased these headphones for use with my Sony Minidisc recorder to replace the supplied earphones, which I found to be a little 'tinny' and susceptible to dropping out of my ears with just the gentlest tug on the cord. I did a lot of online research on a good set of in-ear phones and this model in particular was almost always highly spoke of. So I paid the £30, rather reluctantly as it seemed a lot of money to spend should they not have been up to much and little improvement upon the s ...

Sony MDR-EX70LP Fontopia Headphones:
1) The noise elimination. These things work on an earplug principle, meaning they expand and fit your ear-canal, so effectively when the music is on you can't hear much else. You still can hear some ambient sounds, but a lot less than regular earphones. This is good, right? Not for the guy who didn't hear the car. Up to you if this is a positive feature or a negative criticism.
2) They look cool. One of my criteria when buying earphones is that they must ...
