For Christmas I'm trying to find a high quality pair of headphones to ask for. I'm interested in the

Sony MDR-EX51
Sony MDR-EX71
Sony MDR-EX81

headphones, but have a question:

If you hold the headphone parts up, are the two sides of the cords equal, or one longer?
:confused:
are they like the Apple buds, or wrap around style? For me, I cannot stand the different lengths.

Thanks very much!

Anyone have suggestions of good in ear headphones less than $90 say? not black hopefully?

thanks thanks thanks! :) :) :D

51 and 71 are wrap around. don't know about the 81. i was not a fan of the wrap around, but now that i've got my 51s, i have to admit...i sort of like it.

Shure E2C come in clear and has a standard Y cord (equal lengths). Otherwise, the Apple In-Ear buds are white.

thanks homefries!

I think I'll get the Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator Earphones. For me, the clear Shure E2C's just look like nasty worms in your ears. And I really can't stand the around the neck cords. Are the Shure's available in white or any solid colors? Thanks!

The Shures are now available in black. Shure E2G, E3G, and E4G. New gaming series I think. They also have a shorter cord that the E2C's
