Sony MDR-EX71SLW Stereo Earphones - White

Nice, ideal for iPod, but needs more bass, 2008-09-28
Have been keeping an eye on these earphones for quite a while and finally bought them since the earphones coming with my iPod really tortured my ears and I couldn't endure any more. As long as I plugged these Sony earbuds, they gave the music that I've been listening a new style! Matching the price and the extension cable gives flexibility. The only thing is that the bass quality is a bit of a shame, could be better. But I accept this since they are only EARBUDS, what else could be demanded?

Sony DR-BT22 Bluetooth (Wireless) Headset, 2008-08-01
This is an excellent product, being the Sony DR-BT22, a more compact version of the Sony DR-BT50 (q.v.). The headset has a music frequency response of 14Hz - 24kHz when connected via A2DP. When used with a suitable mobile phone (one having a built-in music player), the music stream is interrupted by an incoming call (allowing the built-in microphone to be used for hands-free operation). When the call ends, the music re-starts automatically. The headphones also remember the volume control settings for music and phone separately. See the Sony website for the full specification.
Potential buyers should ensure that they buy the UK version not the US version since the UK version has a 100-240v 50/60Hz charger fitted with a 13A plug and suitable for world-wide use with a suitable travel adapter. The US version only has a 120v 60Hz charger fitted with a US flat-pin plug that requires a weighty transformer/adapter (at possible extra cost) to use in the UK (albeit at the wrong mains frequency).

Sony CMT-HX80R DAB Micro System With iPOD Dock Included

• SONY MICRO HI-FI SYSTEM
• AUTO TUNING
• 3 TUNER BANDS
• 2 SPEAKERS

Read the Spec Carefully., 2008-11-03
I was really interested in this product until, I read the specification in depth.

Although it states that it provides USB playback and direct recording from CD, in practice it can only write to particular Sony Walkmans and not to any USB device. Also it does not provide the ability to record from the radio.

I have just bought a Sony TV which provides dual outputs for connection to HI FI audio equipment, but this system does not support dual audio input at the back. Instead it has a stereo in mini jack on the front. How dumb is that?

very modern looking,yet very easy to use.
quite a compact unit but pretty weighty...good build quality
best thing is the sound...goes very loud and has a good sharp sound
let alone when you use the bass setting,gives it an extra kick
have played with rock cd's and dance ones
i think it's worth 5/5

The Bluetooth option, 2008-12-07
I've been thinking about buying the 829 for quite some time but I kept telling myself that my 818 was perfectly fine. Typically, I went into a Sony center (sorry Amazon, I'm out of town) and couldn't help myself - I have the 'see-buy' disease.
I have the bluetooth headphone option and wouldn't say they are perfect but they are really good. In the gym, they are amazingly handy - no more cable getting in the way and no need to wear the Walkman either. I found it a weird sensation when I first used them. Look, no wires! The on ear control is a little flawed. It's a spring return slider for the shuttle control and the pause/play function is the same slider as a push in. I keep finding myself shuttling whilst trying to pause it. A seperate button is required. Connection/disconnect is simple - there's a small button on the side. Not sure if this is correct or not but the volume control is disabled when the headphones are connected. It would be better to allow control using both. I've seen no option in the settings.
I'm hopeful the bluetooth will work happily with my PS3 when I get home, that'll be cool.
For those that haven't used a Walkman since the iPod revolution, it's a very simple MP3 player. No fancy gimmicks (apart from the custom Sony only connector), no DRM, just plug it into a USB port of a Windows OS and off you go. Drag and drop, use the supplied Sony software or use Media Player.
Battery life, as it was on my 818, is amazing - even with the bluetooth on. By default, the screensaver is on which it is better to turn off to extend the battery even more. If you use the Walkman heavily, you may even have to charge it once or twice a week!
Video playback is on par with my N95. I don't use the Sony software so I don't know if that configures the video size for you or not. If not, a piece of third-party will probably be required. There's plenty out there.
The corded headphones are great and fit ears very well, I've warn them for some prolonged periods and not haven't suffered any pain. I'm going to be trying out some upgraded versions soon - including the EX.

All-in-all, if you're hunting for a simple, big capacity ipod alternative, this is probably it.

Sony LCS-CSJ Soft Carry Case For Cybershot

False Advertising, 2007-07-18
The case displayed in the advertisment is not the case that was dispatched. In fact it was nothing like it. The picture displayed a black leather looking case and i received a black cloth case with blue piping.

The case dispatched has the correct product code but is not representative of the item listed for sale.
