## Description

The inner ear monitor is designed for use. Has the durability to meet the performance even hard

Review: Amazing sound for the size - Sony MDR-EX800ST are some of the few headphones developed for Sony Music to be used by professional musicians. These are the inner ear equivalent of monitoring headphones. When I first heard them I was blown away by the sound stage that they create. You can hear detail which doesn't stand out using other headphones. What the headphones can't do is escape the law of physics so low end bass (which would require much larger diaphragms or electronics which would muddy the overall sound) sounds weak compared to larger headphones. So depending on what music you want to listen to you might want to look at a much larger set of over the ears headphones like Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser's HD-25 that sit on the ears....You can improve bass performance of the Sony's a little by using different tips. Which brings me on to the last fault of these headphones. All the money has gone in the cable and driver units. The silicon tips can disappear down your ear canal very fast. I solved this by getting custom moulded ones from Snugs.com.
Review: Great sound - lack of bass. - Poor sound isolation and fitting this gives lack of bass. Can't put them right to my ears. I own many pairs of different earphones and only those are uncomfortable for me as im trying to put them as deep as possible to get more bass. No success

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there adapter or replacement cable for these?**
A: There is but I wouldn’t recommend it imo. I had some replacement cables for these since I thought they were lackluster. I got null audio cables very expensive but it was abrasive on my ears and heavy. Went back to the stock cables and am content

**Q: Are the cables removable on these?**
A: Yes cables are removable

**Q: Q1. what if there are any issue with the earphone is it cover under warranty? who should i contact? q2. is this earphone made in japan like mdr7550?**
A: not sure about warranty, but I've had these for a while which were purchased from amazon. Amazing is an understatement.

**Q: Yo the cable on the right iem wiggles side to side up and down and squeaks a lil. i've already tried tightening it down. is this normal?**
A: That is not normal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***様 on 20 September 2025*

XBAシリーズをこよなく愛する者ですが、Z5の販売終了に間に合わず、やむおえず中古品購入となってしまった経験から、欲しいと思った今、購入に踏み切りました。 BA＋ダイナミックドライバー構成のXBAに比べると、音の派手さはなく、最初は物足りなさを感じました。ですが、日々、通勤で使用している内に、慣れというか良さに目覚めたというか他の方のレビューにもある様に、ナチュラルな再生域、音域が心地よく感じる様になりました。 まだ価格改定前の在庫を所有しているショップさんがありますので、安く新品を購入する最後のチャンスだと思います。 自分はDAPの都合で購入後、すぐにMMCXアダプタｰ＋コンプライTRZｰ200＋onso iect_03_bl4m 4.4mmに換装して使用中です。 付属ケーブル使用との使用感や試聴感に若干の違いがあるかもしれません。 ご参考までに‥
