Sony MZ-N710 - any good?

The European model has a lower output that those from elsewhere - I think we have French regulations to thank for that.

However, I have one of these units and unless you listened to loud thrash metal at full volume for the entirety of your youth I doubt it'll be an issue - my volume control never goes past about 50% and that's even when I'm on the noisy London Underground.

Saying that, I bought the Sony EX70 earphones to use with the unit (not out of necessity, I just didn't like the standard set) which are fabulous - highly recommended. They fit right inside your ear and hence don't need as much juice to provide adequate sound.

As an aside, and I won't be popular for saying this - I would take a little time to think about whether you actually want a NetMD unit. IMHO, they are overrated and a disappointment - largely due to the awful SonicStage/OpenMG/RealOne software.

I hunted around for a good price and the Amazon price is very competitive.

It's true that the 710 has an output of 1.2 mW, but you must have a pretty severe hearing loss to find that insufficient... I never get over 75 % of the sound level with my EX70 earphones and that's still pretty loud! I am very happy with my 710 and I can recommend it. But the earphones that come with the unit went straight into the trash...
