Problems with quality of MDRE9LPB.AE / MDRE820LP.AE products

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:33:13 GMT

Hi,

I bought a pair of MDRE9LPB.AE and a pair of MDRE820LP.AE in-ear headphones from sony.co.uk last week.

I was buying these to use with my mp3 player after I ran out of working headphones (I used Sony Twin Turbo previously, maybe "MDRE755"s? which were really good headphones). These items were the closest to the old Sonys I used for years (I bought 6 or 7 pairs which lasted 5 or 6 years).

Unfortunately the quality of product is very very low. The sound quality is poor (very brittle and tinny) and any slight movement of the "jack" causes a crackling static sound.

Is this to be expected with these items or are they faulty?

Obviously I've used these items but can I get a refund from Sony?

Thanks,

Nick

Question about MDR-RF810R headphones

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:49:20 GMT

Hello everyone! I'm new in the forum. Last week i have bought Sony MDR-RF810R (on the bottom of the transmitter it said TMR not MDR, i don't know why). I'm using them with my PC for listening music mostly and i notice something. In most songs i experience drop in the vocals when the bass is louder or i lose volume in general when theres some louder part in the track (something like auto volume control). Not in all songs, but in most of it. I don't know why. I'm using WMP12 but tryed several other players - same problem. Youtube - same problem, but if i played the video at the lowest quality the sound is terrible, but there are no drops in the volume. Tryed to reset the soundcard settings to default, switched off the EQ, turning off THX, but the problem is there.

When i connect my Galaxy S earphones to the PC there is not such problem with the sound. Same with my pc speakers - no problem. Then i connect the Sony headphones to my Galaxy S - excelent sound, a little low, but no drops. When i connected them to my wife's Xperia P the problem is back - same as with my PC. If u are wondering the song is the same on the two phones and the PC when i tested the headphones.

So what's the problem and can i solve it. I want to listen the music in the way they created it to be, not with this auto voluming thing... or auto corecting frequencies... or something like that, don't know how to tell it.

Please if someone know how to fix it? Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

I have bought headphones, they are MDR-CD270 but when i search them i can't find them. They work on other computers and they have stopped working ever since i reset my computer. Also when i plug in a xbox controller it thinks it is a headet and it uses the controller as the headphones but they still work normally as a controller.

Please reply soon.

MDR-1R cable

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:59:19 GMT

it is funny that sony has its own range of mobile phones but sony headphone department seems does not support the mobile department because mdr-1r has no android cable. this is hilarious. will sony comes up with an android controlled cable? it will definitely expand your market and i will definitely buy it if it supports android phones.

Anyone know how to get a replacement arm for stereo phones, MDR-V50?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:57:38 GMT

Does anyone know if Sony will help replace broken arms from headphones? I've got a very good set of MCR-V50 stereophones but one of the ear pieces has cracked off at the bottom, where there's a tiny screw holding it to the arm. It seems a shame to chuck them away for the want of a new arm.

MDR RF810RK Wireless Headphones

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 21:27:45 GMT

Hi, new to the forums and I hope someone can help me out. I bought the above headphones for my dad for Christmas. Everything is working fine and the sound is great. However, I seem to have a problem with the transmitter / base unit turning itself off. What my dad does is

1) watch his TV using his headphones

2) plug his headphones in to charge overnight

3) go to use his heaphones again in the morning but the green light on the base unit is off. The only way he can get the headphones to work is to turn the transmitter / base unit off (at the plug), wait about 10 seconds and then switch it on. The green light comes on and the pgones work fine.

Is this a power saving 'feature' or is he doing anything wrong? There is no issue with the audio quality or battery life of the headphones, just that he needs to switch off / switch on every time he wants to use them (after charging). I don't know if this happens if he's not charging the headphones.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

Bren

MDR-1r headphones ? WOW !

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:14:47 GMT

I must first confess to straying over from the Reader Forum, but I wanted to give my opinion on the Sony MDR-1r cans.

I listen mainly to "Classical" music, leaning heavily towards Handell and Purcell, and the Baroque in general, and lashings of Blues, everything from Mr. Johnson to Joe Bonamassa, with the guitar being a constant.

Alas, so many tracks, so little money .....

Anyway, I shall save a bit of cash for a fair while now, as I'll have to go through my entire, fairly eclectic, collection, listening all over again for the things I missed in the past.

Because these headphones are simply awesome, to my ears anyway. Crystal clear, delivering a depth of tone like you wouldn't believe, and fantastic treble and bass, right through the range. I just could not fault them, and the one time I tried them out at very high volume, was enough to persuade me I now have no need to ruin my eardrums any more than they are already - the quality of sound is pretty extraordinary.

I used to think I had decent 'phones in the past, but not alongside these little beauties. It really is like being in the best seats at a performance.

In fact, watching a DVD of a live concert with them on, is just that !

Appearance-wise, no complaints either. They are trim and neat, light to wear, and very comfortable.

My son and heir, a musician anyway, took them on test for a few days, and I had to threaten him with giving his inheritance to charity before I could get 'em back - and even then he thought for a while ............

Oh, and as far as keeping your sounds to yourself goes, you're safe with these - I got no complaints from those watching yet another re-run of " Downton ...." while I lost myself in my own little combination of "The Messiah"

and Gary Moore and Bonamassa. ( Quite an achievement, frankly........ )

So, in my humble opinion, Sony are onto a real winner with these brilliant headphones.

In fact, if I can convince myself to either carry a man-bag , or wear jackets with proper pockets, I might be diching the Sennhauser earbuds for gadding about in the open air, 'cos I'm now totally spoilt ......

Help Wish Choice - Don;t know what headphones

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:46:19 GMT

OK so this is my first time on the somy forums so hellow everyone, now down to business, i am currently using a pair of MDR ZX300's, and i wish to update to a better set of headphones. The ones that i am looking at are the MDR V55's or the MDR XB400's, its only for casual listening, just want to know what you guys think i should get.

i was thinking MDR XB400's because they have good sound quality and more bass and more asthetic look to them.

and the MDR V55's because of all the good reviews i have seen on them.

But tell me what you think

Thanks

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 11:23:37 GMT

Have just bought a pair of MDR-7509HD headphones from an eBay seller.

These seem to be FAKE , not sure how far these guys go to the trouble of copying these headphones or are just the ones that dont come up to scratch and sold as factory seconds?

The audio from the cans are loud but there is a lot of hiss , Not having andother pair to compare to I am wandering if anyone could help?

Also eBay letting the sale of FAKE sony goods , this is surly worth following up maybe?

Thanks .

Can you use these headphones with a Sony TV?

I'm using a set of old wired headphones with my TV at the moment but I wondered if Sony do a pair of wireless headphones (my Sony TV is only about 18 months old).

ICF-SW7600GR radio faulty DC-in jack?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:36:01 GMT

I have a Sony ICF-SW7600GR radio but the DC in jack often does not work properly when I connect to the power. There is a bad connection or similar. This is particularly noticeable when using the earphone jack at the side of the DC in jack. Must be a design fault?

MDR-RF970RK 120v adapter

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 08 May 2012 19:18:31 GMT

Hi,

Few days ago I bought these RF970RK wireless headphones in US. Since I live in Europe, I thought that adapter is 100-240v. Sadly, it is 120v only and I realized that today. Probably the adapter burned out. Is there another sony european adapter that can be used together with this transmitter base?

Thanks!

MW600 Bluetooth headset

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 13:14:24 GMT

Hello all. I recently bought a MW600 headset for use with my phone which worked incredibly well and paired it up in just s few seconds. The sound quality was so good I thought I'd buy a little bluetooth transmitter and have it on my MP3 player etc so I just grabbed a generic one off Ebay. It took a little longer to get it going but it worked great and I am head bobbing while I write this. My question is though: if I bought another MW600 set can they both listen to the same source? The transmitter I bought is just off/on/pair and had no screen or extended settings so I am hoping it is the bluetooth that the MW600 picks up rather than the device. Ultimately I want my girlfriend to buy a pair of these and be able to listen to what I have the transmitter plugged into at the same time as I am. Would they clash? Thanks

mdr-v700 : sound quality problem

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:31:39 GMT

Hi All,

I own a pair of GENUINE MDR-v700 headphones.

When I first got them the sound quality was outstanding and the loudness level was so high that I had to turn the volume on my Laptop all the way to 10% or less, otherwise it would feel too loud.

Lately, the sound quality those headphones produce dropped, now the sound is dull, like there's no frequency separation. My colleagues's cheap Panasonics sound much better. And the volume dropped as well, I can safely tunr the volume of my Laptop all the way up and still the headphones do not sound way too loud.

My headphones did not fall, got wet or got any other type of damage, in fact they nevel left my office table, and yet, their performance is now very far from what it was or what i would expect from a >100$ set of headphones.

I would appreciate any ideas or comments you might have (I would hate to dump those headphones and buy myself a new set so early after the purchase).

Thanks.

Can these headphones be used with ipad2?

I know I could open the pack and try them myself but if somebody informs me they can't be used with ipad2, I can return them to the store unopened to get a refund. If they can be used with ipad2 I will be delighted.
