Excessively bright sound tarnishes otherwise perfect in-ear headphones
|
These Sony MDR-EX71SL headphones offer deep, accurate bass response, which is just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, they also have tinny-sounding high frequency response. When playing music that is already equalized with the "rock n' roll smile" (boosted lows and highs, reduced midrange), the sound is shrill and unpleasant. Even midrange-heavy jazz recorded without equalization seems too bright with the EX71SL's.
That's too bad, because aside from the too-bright frequency response, I love these headphones. They're super comfortable. The two-piece behind-the-neck asymmetrical cord design is perfect for active use (especially for cycling). The included case keeps everything neat and tidy, and prevents losing these tiny headphones.
Unfortunately, I have to knock 2 stars off for the excessively bright sound. If you (for some reason), prefer extra-bright sound, and also love deep bass, then buy these headphones without hesitation.
