Good day Esatonians,

Right, i want to buy a nice (affordable) set of headphones to use with my W800, as i personally reckon that although the headphones supplied with the HPM-70 are very good, i think i can have a better all-round sound elsewhere. Only thing is i really like the design of the in-ear buds, and it also suits me to have my music as loud as i want without it disturbing people around me.

Question is will the above mentioned headphones, quick link HERE, produce better results overall? Does anyone have any first hand experience with them, or could anyone that has a better knowledge of headphones than me give me some idea whether it would just be a waste of money buying these?

id be grateful for any comments

I use the MDR EX71SL's. They're great. They're not audiophille, but they're still great. My guess is that the 81's are the same as the 71's but you wear them upside down

If your buying in the UK, then amazon.co.uk have both of these for £26 delivered.

Yeah i think the 71's and the 81's are the same just with the loop round your ears being the difference. So what does audiophille mean then?? Not too tech on the old headphones

An audiophile is someone who only accepts the best in music sound quality. Whether it be Hi-Fi's or headphones.
