ソニーの定番モニターヘッドフォンMDR-CD900STを 屋外でも楽しみたい…の思いで購入しました。 この商品はまず業務用なので、いわゆる「保証期間」が設定されておらず 簡素な包装にも驚きますが、イヤホンとコードを接続する規格も 竜頭で締められMMCXや2pinのように緩みにくいのも嬉しいです。 まず音ですがエージングしないとややドンシャリがきつく感じますが 整ってくると、中低域との繋がりがよくなり 使い慣れていたMDR-CD900STに近いモニターな音になりました。 カナル型特有の耳に近い（中で鳴っている）感じはあまりなく これは嬉しいな……と思ったら、結構音漏れはします。 イヤホン裏にスリットがあるので、ここでヌケを良くしているのだと思いますが その弊害で開放型までとは言いませんが、公共交通機関などでのボリュームは 気をつけてください。 付属のコードですが形か決まりにくく、イヤホンが特殊な形なので ちょっと固定しにくいのと、移動時には取れやすいのが難点。 音や弾力感はいいのに……。1万円前後でリケーブルがamazonやyahooオークションにある 業者さんが作っているものがあるので、それに交換したらしっくりきました。 （2.5mmなどのバランス接続も相性良いです） 音質ですがはっきり言うと、レコーデインングの音を そのまま耳に届ける性質なので、過去にハイレゾのイヤホンを使っていると 「え？この曲こんなに音悪いの？」なんて悲劇があります。 良くも悪くもそのまま出してしまうので 自分好みの音でどの音楽も楽しみたい…という方には向かないかもですが MDR-CD900STの音が好きな方にはいいカナルイヤホンだと思います。 Read more

These IEMs, despite having been released over 10 years ago, are better than the vast majority of competitors, even those costing many times more. They are unique in that, due to their design (using a massive 16mm dynamic driver, mounted obliquely to the nozzle, and with vent ports), and the tuning of their driver, they have an extremely natural, open, and solid presentation. The frequency response is extremely balanced, and the timbre is very natural, which makes these shine in particular with any acoustic material (classical, jazz, vocal, etc) Instruments sound the way they are supposed to sound, and percussion (in particular), which is very hard to get right in IEMs, is amazing. It is very deep and authoritative, but it is not overemphasized. While the bass registers (including subbass) are very present and natural, the bass is also very controlled and nuanced, and it never overpowers the mids. The treble (looking at frequency charts) is very rolled beyond 12Khz, but this doesn't affect acoustic material, and most people wouldn't hear much beyond 12Khz, anyway. On the plus side, this means that these IEMs are very easy to listen to for extended periods of time, without causing fatigue or irritation. I think this rolling off in the highest registers of the treble is done by design, since these are monitoring IEMs produced in Japan, meant to be used by sound engineers and producers for many hours every day. I haven't found the treble to be fatiguing or excessive, and when this has been the case, it has been a fault of the recording, and not of the IEMs themselves, which simply reveal what is there. The mids are beautiful. Compared to something like an ER2SE (notiriously mid-centric), the mids in the EX800ST sound slightly withdrawn, but they lack nothing in terms of detail. This is only noticeable by comparison with other IEMs that have a stronger presence region, like the ER2SE already mentioned. If there is something to be mentioned as an outstanding feature of the EX800ST, however, it is the soundstage. Even though I already knew from reviews that the soundstage in these was amazing, I wasn't prepared for what I heard. Combined with very accurate imaging, when listening to well mastered material, it seems as if you are a part of a space, surrounded by sounds that envelope you. The degree to which this (along with the natural timbre) contributes to providing a sensation of actually "being there" can't be understated, and it makes listening to good music with these a very satisfying experience. The EX800ST is an amazing IEM with a design which not only has stood the test of time, but which is still superior to most IEMs (and also full headphones) produced nowadays. A work of art. Read more
