Review: sony ear phones - excellent
Review: Amazing sound for the size - Sony MDR-EX800ST are some of the few headphones developed for Sony Music to be used by professional musicians. These are the inner ear equivalent of monitoring headphones. When I first heard them I was blown away by the sound stage that they create. You can hear detail which doesn't stand out using other headphones. What the headphones can't do is escape the law of physics so low end bass (which would require much larger diaphragms or electronics which would muddy the overall sound) sounds weak compared to larger headphones. So depending on what music you want to listen to you might want to look at a much larger set of over the ears headphones like Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser's HD-25 that sit on the ears....You can improve bass performance of the Sony's a little by using different tips. Which brings me on to the last fault of these headphones. All the money has gone in the cable and driver units. The silicon tips can disappear down your ear canal very fast. I solved this by getting custom moulded ones from Snugs.com.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there adapter or replacement cable for these?**
A: There is but I wouldn’t recommend it imo. I had some replacement cables for these since I thought they were lackluster. I got null audio cables very expensive but it was abrasive on my ears and heavy. Went back to the stock cables and am content

**Q: Are the cables removable on these?**
A: Yes cables are removable

**Q: Q1. what if there are any issue with the earphone is it cover under warranty? who should i contact? q2. is this earphone made in japan like mdr7550?**
A: not sure about warranty, but I've had these for a while which were purchased from amazon. Amazing is an understatement.

**Q: Yo the cable on the right iem wiggles side to side up and down and squeaks a lil. i've already tried tightening it down. is this normal?**
A: That is not normal.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great sound - lack of bass.
*by M***K on 20 September 2017*

Poor sound isolation and fitting this gives lack of bass. Can't put them right to my ears. I own many pairs of different earphones and only those are uncomfortable for me as im trying to put them as deep as possible to get more bass. No success
