Type: Single 16mm Dynamic
Spec: 16Ω (@1kHz) | 4Hz~ 28kHz | 108dB SPL | 7g
Cord Style: J-cord. Two pieces, 0.50m + 1.00m (LP model has one piece cable)
Mini Jack Style: Gold plated L style, light build.
Eartips Used: Single flange
Packaging: 5/5 (One of the nicest looking package on IEM)
Build Quality: 4/5 (cable tangles too easily).
Accessories: 4/5 (excellent case and tips but shirt clip needed!)
Isolation: 2/5 (around -20dB, the worst of all)
Microphonics: 4/5 (earbud style)
Comfort: 5/5 (quite comfortable despite the size)
Soundstage: 4/5 (good soundstage, but a bit lack in depth / not airy enough)
Sound Quality: 5/5 (balance, too much harshness on treble not even T400 can fix, good bass, slightly recessed mid in comparison).
Value: 4/5 (Overall nice package, but SQ isn’t there yet)
Remark: If you even want to sell people a two piece cabal IEM, you better included a shirt clip. Despite using really light material (aluminum, magnesium), the combined cable is still fairly heavy and annoying. Once I put a clip on it, I realize it won’t fit the case anymore (not that the SL model fits well before). Beside the missing clip, some of the major downside include the easily tangle cable, very little isolation, plus comfortable but easily damage eartips. Sony has made an effort to create a worthy high class IEM, but it isn’t at the top yet. If you want to get EX700, get the LP model instead. [EDIT] After a lengthy burn-in (~150hrs), the harsh treble seems to quiet down a bit (2~3dB maybe?) to a slightly more tolerable level (but still harsh in general).
