| I just ordered a pair of retractable "earbud" headphones. They look like thos "mini sync" cables but they are headphones instead. I have not received them yet, so I'll be sure to post when I have tried them out. Hopefully they sound decent. I wanted to try them because I hate having to roll up the wire all the time.

| Depends what size before you consider them "Dj" headphones. Panasonic has a very cheap pair of those... leathery cushion headphones, fair size, and can be wore two ways. Its about 20 bucks. Some others can be simply headbuds which is very convient and cheap. The better ones have better sound and some even have noise cancelation. The Sony street style is alright but I think they are a bit uncomfortable since the Panasonics can do better. The sound in this day and time has little difference between headphones. What you are buying is comfort and conviency. It all comes down to money. |

| I had the zip ear buds, but they hurt my ears after awhile. I now use the sony MDR-EX71 for most times - the option for a shorter or longer cord comes in handy. When I need noise reduction headphones, I use the Sennheiser PX 200 - they fold nicely and are pretty convienent. |

| I got around and checked the EX71, nice, very nice. However, the EX51 is another can-do since its a bit cheaper and I dont notice the change in the important aspects. I would suggest the 51 for more cost effecient but 71 is bit better, assuming from the model number and price. |

| I have the 51's and they're pretty sweet. I was told that the only big difference from the 71's is the extra cord and the case...

| Hold up, the cord is same, just lenght right? The length to me is usually best, head and arm length so I can hold the UX straight down or have it straight out. BTW, if someone have the 71s, please tell me if the case is even worth anything? It looks small, not auto retract, I'm really not sure what it does. |

Hey those look cool! And are cheap! When you get them please tell me how well or bad they sound... They look as the earphones that came with my old Rio mp3 player, of course without being retractable, they sounded too damn good  . |

| You people are so lucky... you get to buy stuff on eBay. My parrents only let me buy a 1 GB MSpro and not even shipping yet. Hopefully, I'll get to use their credit card more! My wish list:
MDR-EX71 (Looks good, stylish, Sony always sound good)
EB-40 (Cmon... 2.5 hours of Warfare Inc and already dead... I need more battery!)
Screen protectors (I am afraid to even let dust touch it >.<)
BT USB Dongle (fast, easy, convient)
Wifi USB Dongle (Solve all problems)
and MicroQuad (Impossible to get) |

| I have the Sony MDR-EX51LP earbuds, and they are *fabulous* for the price. The nicest thing about them is the fact that they don't use foam for the fitting, but instead some sort of silicone/rubber stuff; they're the first earbud headphones I've had that feel nice. Decent bass, cancels outside noise well -- great headphones, especially for the price. |
