ED12LP has the same 16mm driver as the EX500 and EX700 monitor series but that doesnt mean that it is equal in audio quality. But a bigger driver ensures bigger sensitivity with better sound output. It is simply evident if you check out the specs. ED12LP has a sensitivity of 108dB while SHH9700 has 100dB which I found to be a bit low for my listening habits.

The frequency response giives an idea about the frequency range that the earphone can reproduce. But the factor which determined the loudness of the buds is the sensitivity expressed in dB. So the more dB an earphone possess, the greater will be the audio output. And since all these buds have an impedance of 16ohm, they should be well suited for devices with low power output.

> In reply to physiovinayak @ 2010-01-14 13:16 from vwmR - click to readHaving a larger diameter doesn't necessarily means tha it will produce better bass. It still comes down to how its tuned and its driver quality. There are plenty of smaller in-ear buds that produce a lot more bass than ones with bigger drivers. In-ear buds relies almost entirely on a perfect seal of earbud with ear to produce bass. you can feel it, if the seal is broken all you hear is high pitched treble. Which is not the case with MDR ED12LP.

As for SHE9500 having a bigger driver than SHH9700. I haven't tried SHE9500 but members in many tech forums suggest SHH9700 over SHE9500. Some newer models are also out, maybe they'll be better than SHH9700.

In philips the SHH900 costs 1499INR precisely and here is the link for the headphones compared who are within 1000INR mark..

Hope this helps..

Now i have a doubt.. can a connector be found which has a 3.5mm jack and a 3.5mmjack on the other end.. Is there a possibility?

> In reply to physiovinayak @ 2010-01-14 12:38 from vwmR - click to readYes they are definitely better than the ED12 but as is the case with most plugin type earphones, the spec makes me think that it will suffer from low audio output and a tighter but plain bass. But still if you haven't listened to an ED12, then you wouldn't have anything to complain as it would sound perfect thanks to the greater frequency response and balanced sound.

> In reply to physiovinayak @ 2010-01-14 12:14 from vwmR - click to readInear buds have many advantages as they provide superior audio quality while blocking out background noise. The only disadvantage is that they come with small speaker driver so the bass is tight but lacks depth and the low frequencies are not that much defined. They also tend to fatigue the ears if you are not used to wearing them. The output will also be much lower so you have to pump up the volume to get the desired output.
other than that most high end earphones that are available in the market today are inear plugin type. Except for the sony's ex monitor which combines the isolation provided by the earplugs with the better soundstage provided by the bigger driver.
That is exactly what i have ordered from ebay.

Set the resolution to 1024x768 if you want full zooming support. Works on 640x480 pics as well. In jpeg quality settings, unmark the transfer EXCIF data option and this should make the pics fully compatable for viewing on the phone.

But I am not so sure about the earbuds that come with those. I have personally used them. its the HPM-70 or 72 I think. The audio quality is not upto the mark when compared with the philips inear buds.

> In reply to Nevin Joseph @ 2010-01-14 11:56 from PB7x - click to readur right.. the link that u gave is a diff headset and the one he showed me was another model which was not available and it is similar to the in ear headsets that come with the SE walkman series phones.. That comes for 990INR.. I think I and him both did a blunder...

So this is the MDR-ED12LP.. the how bout the ones that are completely in ear bud types? will thye be better?

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2010-01-14 03:47 from utkd - click to readSo ultimately which is the best buy between the SE and Philips? I tried searching for the SE model whhat we discussed viz MDR-ED12LP but could not find it.

Can i buy any of the SE Bluetooth headsets, which have muzic and volume control keys. That way i can attend calls as well.

What are the specifications i shud look for the bluetooth headsets that can be compatible with the GM200?

@ Nevin-

I had been to a SONY exclusive showroom and that fellow only said that the MDR-ED12LP costs 990INR?????? bHe showed me the qoutation as well. Comes in black and other girly colors. The black is more sturdy design wise.

> In reply to physiovinayak @ 2010-01-13 18:10 from vwmn - click to readHey bro, that anonymous who complained abt philips is not me. Do look at the encoded location code given under each comment.Mine is utk and Nevin's is PB7.

BTW I would suggest not to got for cheap chinese copies.
I had bought a copy of MDR-EX700 earphone for 250Rs frm local shop(original costs arnd 15K according sonystyle website). It had excellent bass and good audio quality, audio quality still no way near SHH9700. But the problem was, left side stopped working after 2 weeks thanks to my rough handing.

Now if you choose to go for philips earbuds and the shopkeepers lets you check it before buying it, most probably you will be very dissapointed with its performance. There was no bass. But i decided to take the risk and bought it coz i had read in some reviews that some philips earbuds requires 50 hrs burnin before giving good audio output.
After reaching home i gave it another try and it sounded a lot better with good bass. Previously I got low bass coz i didnt get a proper seal with my ear. Unlike some of the sony earphones philips earbuds requires a good seal with the ear to give you good bass. Audio quality will improve further as you go on using it.

And one more thing never buy it for Rs1499 frm a local shop. If they ask you to pay MRP then buy it frm philips dealers. Remember you are buying it frm local shops so that you get it cheap and if they dont give it for cheaper price then go to an authorised dealer. Same in case of sony.
