Sharp MD 33 (yes another question)

[naednek]

I found two sites that sells these, one is in japan, and one is warehouse123. I looked around at the typical retail places and they don't carry them.

Where else can I buy them? Warehouse sales them for $52 and I looking for something a little cheaper, if possible. I tried ebay, and wasn't able to find anything

I hear the Sony X71's are good. But I keep hearing people say the Sharps are better.

I'm tempted to get the sony's because they are easier to find.

Audiocubes ships it from japan. It still comes out to be a total of only 48 dollars. They are GREAT, i ordered several times from them. Buy the fontopia 71 if they are easier and cheaper to find.

how quick/slow are they?

Takes 3-4 days straight from japan.

Actually more close to about a week total. 3-4 days for them to process it, and 3-4 more days for it to arrive to you.

Note that these ear canal buds are originally designed to work with Sharp's AUVI line of Minidisc players. Yes there is a difference. The plugs are 4 pole jacks, while the Ipod or any other non-Sharp AUVI player is 3 pole. This extra one pole is designed for better sound seperation of the left and right channels. In short, kind of like creating the effect of spatial sound in your head. So in order for you to use them with the Ipod, you need to use the included "extra long cord", but it really isn't. It's a 4 pole to 3 pole converter.

When you get them, they come in this kool packaging.

EX71 looks better...:D
Also, you may get one in Ebay for a very low price ...

BTW: Thx for your photos ..blinkme_210

It took only 3-4 from the day I ordered them to arrive.

I still believe they are the best earbuds for the price.
