Less than 2 hours of use. I'm selling because I opted for the NH1 instead, which has the magnesium case and backlit remote. I jumped the gun and got the NHF-800. The NHF-800 is in super-mint condition... consider it brand new. Not one scratch, I've kept it in plastic bubble wrap. However, no original packaging. I have all documentation, cables, AC adapter, Hi-MD blank, and software CD's. I will throw in a few pair of Powerex AA 1800mha rechargable batteries for free ($15 value). $230, plus shipping.

I don't lik the EX71's much. There's a nasty 7kHz resonance that just makes them sound shrill and ear-pearcing. The mid-range is anemic also. I guess most people will find them great, especially for less than $50. I have Shure E3's and can say that they are certainly worth the money. The sound is much more balanced, having a healthy dose of low-end, but nothing oomphy. I think you should go no less than the Shure E2's if you really want to have a better audio experience than the cheaper priced Sony ear-buds.
