Mystyler Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 The bass isn't bad on this models, and the treble is fair too. They are decent earbuds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 I just bought the MDR E818LP's and man they are great. Best sounding earbuds I've ever listened too. Does anyone know is there is any difference in sound between 818s and 838s? They both have 16mm driver units... How about 868s? What I think makes this earbud sound so good in the design of the "cornucopia" like housing. It's bigger than the standard (808) that came with my MZ-N707 MD Player... I was eyeing the Q55's, but one of the headphone sites on the web said to go with cheapee Sony buds, and I'm glad I did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Most of the Sony earbuds come with 16mm drivers except a selected few (namely the MDREX70 which has a 9mm driver and the MDRE827G which hav a 13mm driver)...otherwise all the rest hav 16mm drivers... the diff between the 818's and the 838's is just the frequency response...the 818's hav a 12-22000Hz frequency response while the 838's hav a 10-23000Hz frequency response...+ the mini plug on the 838's are gold plated... im down to 2 ear buds.. (if u have any thing to suggest.. please reply) 1. Sony MDR-E838LP 2. Sony MDR-E838SPboth those earbuds u mentioned are basically the same juss different lengths...the SP has bout 40cm cord while LP has about 1.2m cord...SP's r beta if u want 2 plug the headfones in2 ur remote since itz shorter and u dun hav all this unwanted cord dangling around...i own a pair of 838's and they'r not bad actualli...so i would recommend it 2 u...otherwise if u dun care bout the brand i suggest u go and take a look @ the Sennheiser range of earbuds they'r also quite good i hear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Sennheiser buds are definately worth a look: The MX500s have damn good bass for a bud, and don't skimp on the treble. Cheap too, ~$17US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustral Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 The Sony MDR-EX70's r definitely what u need if your a bass junkie ! If u dont mind the ear phones going deeper that the Groove headphones,and noise reduction from the outside world then this is the bomb of a headphone. I have 2 x MDR-EX70's and they have been very good with my MZ-E900. Get the SL version for the short cord for MD's , plus with the SL's u get a 1 metre extension too Gold Plated Go to minidisco.com and get some MDR-EX70SL cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darK (aka Tharaka) Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 im down to 2 ear buds.. (if u have any thing to suggest.. please reply) 1. Sony MDR-E838LP 2. Sony MDR-E838SP go for the SP model.. because do you really want a massive 1.2mt cord dangling out of ur 70cm cord for ur MD remote... NO! i dont think so... its a big inconvenience.. trust me.. i have to handle it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 The Koss KSC-50 is an excellent clip on style earphone. Good bass and loudness. They're about $20 at BB, CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamdigital Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Hi ! Anyone tried the RP-HS101 retractables from Panasonic ? Bass's really mighty with good treble repo. They're the only few decent earphones/ clip styles that we know of Panasonic so far. Another interesting part is the retractable cord, of cos ! :roll: Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daijoubu Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 The Sennheiser MX400/500 are DEFINITELY better than Sony MDR-E818/828/838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
