Prendies Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Could anyone tell me if the matching headphones supplied with the NW-A608, A-1000 and A3000 have a model number?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 From the pictures, I would say it's the E931. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuge Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 New haedphones with A608/A3000/1000 are just colour cordinated but their specifications are same as the old headphones we got with HD series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalcoolman Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ya, they are just MDR-E931SP with colour coordination. These are the BEST supplied headphones I've ever seen AS LONG as you have the foam covers. If you don't have the foam covers they suck. There is a Sony parts distributor near me and I got 10 pairs from them, but they are also supplied with stand alone Sony earbuds.P.S. I still can't understand why Sony isn't supplying the covers which cost them less than 1 cent to make with all their bundled headphones nowadays.

Ascariss Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 best? hardly, they are not that comfortable for me, but the sound is very nice though and so far does beat any other headphones that I have recieved as stock units.a bit different sound than the ex71s though, which are still my favourite of all the headphones I've used.but if you aren't planning on replacing your stock buds, then the 931s are a fine set.

pata2001 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 best? hardly,Well, for a stock bud, they're pretty good, if not the best. The only better stock bud is probably the EX51 included with some MD player units. For comfort, I highly suggest getting those foam covers.

sh33p Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I saw a pair of E931's in a high-end AV/Electronics store for $200HKD (~$24 US??)... Is that about right or expensive, because this store is known for marking up prices like crazy because it's in a fancy shopping mall. I haven't seen them anywhere else yet so I can't give you a price comparison, but I'd like to get a pair of back-ups in case the ones I have now muck up. Plus, I think they were full-length phones. Not short-length like the NWA3000 supplied phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stuge Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Even bass is less with Bundled headphones.Who wants to stick wiht those bundled phones but at the same time i`m confused people using bundled earphones of I-sheep (white earphones ).Atlaest E931 is beeter than that .

chriswyatt Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well, I lost my EX71s because I left the back-pocket of my school bag open . Now I have to put up with the rubbish old stock phones that came with my A3000 (Still in the packet!) and they don't even fit in my ears, pop out instantly . Not as bad as the strange shaped Fontopias I once bought which were very uncomfortable and painful.Anyway, I'm looking into getting Panasonic's RP-HJE50s as soon as possible, apparently they're quite good, and slightly cheaper than the EX71s .

sh33p Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) I have a pair of EX71's (actually I bought them for my dad)but the problem is I really don't like them because I find the bass is too heavy and over-exaggerated. My aunt and uncle are in the hi-fi manufacturing business and conditioned me into believing heavy bass =/= good sound quality. As a result, my ears have become more sensitive to lower frequencies and hurt after listening with the EX71's for a while. I also like being able to hear what is going on around me, because I listen a lot and I jay-walk. I tried listening with different EQ settings and making a custom profile but I still think the 931's are perfect.I don't suppose anyone with a black A-series walkman will want to donate their pair?

pata2001 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Where can you get the ex71s for 29 US? also aren't the 888s supposed to be good as well?Amazon.com sometimes has it for sale. I've never seen the E888 being used as a stock bud though, and they're not that easy to find at retailers, unless you go to ebay or import.
