Customer Review: Short cable design-awesome for iPhone/Shur MusicPhoneAdapter
Summary: 4 Stars
For those of us, now many millions, with an iPhone, this short cable is a godsend. When used in combination with a Shure Music Phone Adapter, or any other adapter of this type, the length of the cable attached to the headphones is awesome. It has an offset design. From the bridle, the left side is only about 4", while the right is about 18". Some complain that the offset in length creates a differential in the audio. Do the math people, the time delay due to cable length is microscopic. The ability to use either one of the earphones to talk on the phone while the other one lasily drapes around your neck out of the way is perfect. I had a pair of V-Moda Vibes with the built in mic, and although they were nice in some ways, I was forced to use the right earphone because the microphone was on that side, and the left one was in the way all the time as it hung down to my belly button or lower. Could you still put the whole thing behind your head to avoid this? No, the microphone is on the right branch, and would be behind your head instead of near your mouth. That of course will not work. The design of the Sony is awesome when used as described above.
Since my iPhone is really the only device I use these on, I love them. Sony has now discontinued this model, and I may have to buy up 2 or 3 pairs just to have them. My first pair I have been using about 2 years, and the left speaker has degraded quite significantly and only produces about 20% of the original volume. The replacement Sony has made is the 76. That model has a Y style cable, where the lengths from the bridle are even, and that will give me the same headaches as the Vibes did, except for the microphone thing as the Shure device provides that functionality.
I also like the sound quality from these. Is it the best thing out there, of course not, but if you listen mostly to Rock and Heavy Metal like I do, at age 40 by the way, they produce sufficient bass and are far better in that respect than the V-Modas. Is the total range the best, again not really, but I have found it acceptable. They certainly blow the iPod headphones out of the water. If you don't need the split cable, buy the 51's or 55's now as they are, as I've read, the same earphone but without the two piece cable. However, if you have the same configuration I have, and are looking for a decent earphone, that won't leave you with 3' of cable bundled up next to your music phone adapter, these may be the ticket. Better buy two while they last.
