Sony Earphones - MDR-EX71's
Brilliant earphones, I'm sure a few of you have them too. I've had mine for a few years now and have been very happy with them.
However, one drunken evening the other week, coming home from a housewarming party, I stuck one in my ear, only to realise that the little rubber bud had come off - lost forever! So, I've had to substitute my "medium" bud for a pair of "large" buds, as the "small" ones are just too small. However, the "large" buds are pretty uncomfortable. Does anyone know where I can buy replacement buds for these? Thanks.

Maplins may be worth a look.

So, you would rate these little guys above say a cheap set of studio monitors?
(I know they are big and clunky, but sony make a cheap set, 35 bucks or something, which sound so much better than the little guys i heard. I only use them in work... dont really care about how I look, and have a set of buds stashed about my person for emergancies. Sound pretty poor though... ) |

I find them extremely boomy, a bit edgy, and not as much definition as I'd like them to be... The trademark "Sony sound".
At least in direct comparison with my trusty old pair of AudioTechnica AT40s "precision studiophones"...   Careful with volume levels, though. They can get extremely loud.

Unfortunately, I went through all the different sizes but couldn't find replacement buds, I gave up and just bought a replacement set of earphones. |
