After receiving (and trying) the new EX70's (the ear-plug earphones), I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Bass response was not much better than on the E888's (which in my mind are still the king-of-the-less-than-$100-earbuds). While the bass is decent, overall sound quality is shallow and almost tinny, I'd put the quality somewhere between the 888's and Sony's default earbuds that are packed in with most of their MD portables... although I think these are closer to the default earbuds than to the 888's. Sensitivity is only rated at 100dB/mW, as opposed to 108db/mW on the 888's.... anyway, maybe I'll try breaking them in for a couple of weeks, but I'm not really impressed with them. My suggestion, if you're happy with 888's, don't bother with the EX70's... If you're in the US you can order them from www.planetminidisc.com for $49.95... --Brian IBM Corporation, Austin Division 7T, Dept.
