I've had this product for less than a month
Pros: Clarity and precision in sound quality, with emphasis on highs, solid mids
Cons: Bass is somewhat lacking, but can be fixed with clear bass boost
The Sony MDR-EX700lp's are simply the best IEM model that I've owned. Before purchasing these, I've owned the Sony MDR-EX300s. Since I was happy with the Sony MDR-EX300s, I decided to upgrade to the Sony MDR-EX700s, and I have to say, what an upgrade! These pair of earbuds really emphasize the high end, while still giving a solid mid-bass. The low-bass is somewhat lacking, but this is due to such overemphasized highs that will blow your mind. The sound is also crystal clear, and as many people have described, they are also very WARM. I do not find the highs harsh at all. I find that the overemphasis on highs helps to bring out the outstanding clarity of sound the Sony MDR-EX700s produce. I still have to burn these in, and after a couple of hours or so I am hoping a little more bass kicks in. However, I am very pleased with the overall sound quality of the Sony MDR-EX700s. *UPDATE* It's been a little more than 50 hours of burn-in, and I am happy to report that the bass has increased quite a bit, while the high end has become less harsh. Also, I have been listening at a lower volume on my Sony X-Series, and find that the Sony MDR-EX700s have greater clarity, balance, and precision! The lows and mids are very controlled, yet exhibit such precise detail. The sibilance has decreased, but is still present. The highs are still very much emphasized, yet not harsh at all. I find it very pleasing to listen to. Overall, I am still very impressed with the Sony MDR-EX700lp's.

Pros: The connection ???
Cons: The new design of longer length cable on one side.
I dislike the connectors that are bent. I cannot stand that bent side sticking side ways while I jog or walk plus its an eyesore. I prefer the connector to be straight always in every model. I also prefer the length of the cables to be equal, it is also annoying to have different size lengths. Might as well have the desing complete the luxury.

Pros: Warm highs, Punchy bass, Clear mids
Cons: Kinda pricey for earbuds.
These earbuds do sound really good they have very clear punchy bass and alot of clear mids and the highs are warm sounding. I do have to say that these earbuds sound warm on the highs meaning they aren't really bright but that doesn't mean it's bad since there are alot of people who like warm highs. I guess it also depends on what kind of music you listen to. Me I prefer little more brighter on the highs so I can really hear the stings on the guitar. I can still hear the strings but just not as bright. But it maybe good that it isn't soo bright so it won't hurt your ears after listening to music for many hours.

Pros: Sound quality
Cons: Paint job
If anyone is looking for a portable earcanal headphone with the best possible sound quality then look no further. This headphone uses world's largest 16mm driver. It produces great sound from lowerst to highest ranges with very good separation, that is no sound mufflings (clear high and great bass production). After using this for a year, sound still sounds great, although the grey paint has been slowly fading... Other than that, its built quality is also very good.
