MD: Sony earbuds.

2000-10-16 Thread Robin Landy


I want to buy some new earphones for my sharp 831. I'm interested in
the Sony 268s, but I've heard that they 'don't work' with remote
controls. Is this true? (I don't really see how this can be, but that
is what is says in the Index catalogue).
 If the Sony 268 are no good, does anyone have any suggestions for 
good ear-buds costing less than 50 UK pounds. I would prefer a full 
length cord (since I like to clip the remote quite low down, eg on my 
belt, so that it is invisible)
Cheers
Robin.

Hi,

The 268 does work with remote controls.

The cord that comes out of the cheaper 238 is about 0.4m long, and has
Sony's "micro-plug". It comes with a 1m extension cord that has a normal
miniplug. The 268 should have either that, or the normal cords.

As many others, I would not suggest any Sony earbuds with "groove".  The 848
and 868 aren't that much more expensive.

Leon

P.S. I like to clip my remote low down, too. I don't understand the deal
with 0.4m short cords - if your shirt has no pocket, it's not that
convenient anymore.

Koss KSC-35 sound better than Sony's best earbuds (MD-888-LP), and cost
about half as much or a little less.  And uses standard 1/8" stereo plug.

As for the 268s "not working", I do not see how that could be, as the
remote plugs directly into the recorder, and the phones plug into the
remote.

You ever thought about SONY's Active series? Are Ear Buds the best

That's a hint, Pho.

No, they're the worst.

And can you get rid of the rest of the junk?  Shouldn't be more than 4
lines anyway.

OK, Well why does everyone on this list keep wondering about what
EAR BUDS are the best? Users: Try different TYPES of headphones! You
might find something you actually like!
