meggsy Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I have had a MZ-N710 for a while now, and the low volume is really bugging me. I'm currently using the original earphones, but the bass is too low and overall volume is poor. Has anyone got any ideas of good earphones that would block outside noise and provide a good bass sound? For under £30 if possible...

darkfusion Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 You could try the Sennheiser PX200's. They provide a fair amount of isolation, they're pretty efficiant and you should find them for around £30 - £40. Else there's the Sennheiser PX100's but they provide no isolation, however they can be found for £20 - £30. I'm not sure how much volume you'd be getting from your MZ-N710 with these headphones, as I'm unsure of the specs of the stock earphones so it's pretty hard to tell if the PX's will be more efficiant, try buying from a store that has a satisfaction guarantee. Also, you could try a SuperMicro headphone amp from www.fixup.net to give your 'phones a little more juice but as the MZ-N710 doesn't have a "true" line-out you won't be getting much improvement in terms of sound, only volume.

Christopher Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Shucks, sounds like you have one of those 1.2mW Euro 710's, capped because of the French regulations. I agree with darkfusion's recommendations, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'd also recommend the Sony MDS-EX71SL. You can buy them in Dixons for about £35 (I take it you're in the UK). They give fairly good isolation and have good bass. I use them with my even lower output D-EJ2000 CD player, and they're very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 yup the EX71's are a good pair...if u want a good cheap pair of buds go for the Sennheisser MX-500's...nice pair of buds plus good value for money... :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stosse Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm also looking for new headphones that I will use with my N710 (I got it today). I'm really impressed with it so far, I bought it for about $236 (converted from my currency). The thing is that I don't like the kind that you stuff in your ear, so does anyone have a good suggestion for a headphone? I'd like to use the remote, so the cord to the headphone shouldn't be too long. I hope someone can give me a good tip. And oh, I'm from Sweden so I've got the european version of the N710.
