Amazon.com Product Description
Many noise-reducing headphones feature large, over-the-head or behind-the- neck headbands, making them rather bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light, in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tunes. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra- small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drives and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones (all the way up to 23 kHz). Listeners will also dig the three sizes of earbuds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes while enjoying long-lasting comfort. And thanks to the dual cord lengths--1.65 feet (original) and a 2.3-foot extension--the phones are great for both iPods and MP3 players on armbands or belt clips. Other details include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that slips easily into a shirt pocket. The 100 mW phones, whose white color matches iPods perfectly, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor. What's in the Box
Fontopia headphones, hard carrying case, 2.3-foot extension cord, three sizes of earbuds, user's manual.

 Good Sound but Poor Quality October 16, 2008
I've owned three of these headphones over the past two years and I've replaced all three within 5 to 8 months. I do like the sound quality but I am very disappointed in the poor quality of its components. The problems I had with all three sets have to deal with losing sound in one earbud. I went and did some research on the blogs sites and came across numerous complaints about this same issue. Since the manufacturer warranty is only 90 days, Sony wouldn't fix or replace them since my earbuds didn't fail within their warranty period.
As I stated, the sound quality is very good and I was surprised by the rich bass for a moderately priced set of earbuds. I purchased two additional sets after having problems with my first thinking it was a limited product defect but I've come to realize that Sony and their vendors make a very poor quality product. After having my 3rd set fail on me, I invested in getting the SE530 which I'm extremely pleased. The price is significantly higher than what I wanted to pay but after having 3 Sony earbuds crap out on me, it was enough for me to invest in a better quality product.
 Perfect if you only have one ear! October 8, 2008
I have purchased two pairs of these earphones and both have ended up with sound coming from only one ear within about 90 days. Don't worry both times it was just after the warranty expired. Why did I purchase a second pair? I don't know. They are also terrible for working out. If you don't hold the cord while running you will hear a nice thumping noise every time the cord hits your body. It's a great unwanted bass line. I highly recommend not wasting your money on this product. You will be using your Apple earphones in a matter of weeks.
 Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones September 29, 2008
I bought a Sony MP3 player back in 2007. About a month ago, the earphones stopped working. I decided to get another Sony earphone because I liked my old one. Came across the Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones - absolutely the best. Sound quality is the best I have ever heard from very small phones. The bass quality is so exquisite that I had to turn down the volume to protect my eardrums. I love the neck chain style. The ear buds take a little getting used to. It is quintessential that the proper buds are used. The buds need to fit snugly into the ear to feel the bass. The only problem I have with this fantastic device is the cable. The connector is a bit heavy and pulls on the left phone while walking. A shirt clip should fix this problem. Would by these earphones 10 times over!!!Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia Bud-Style Headphones with Case (White)
