Hey all !

I don't have any In-ears yet, so I am so confused and can't test them myself. I'm very interested in getting some, but before I spend some money on either the EX51s/EX71s. . . Is it possible to not have them isolated as much? Either by doing something physically to them or not puting them in as far? If I just put them in like normal earbuds, would they fall out easily? Would they sound worst or exactly like how normal buds sound?

I know I am spending a lot more if I'm not going to take advantage of what the In-Ears can do. When I could just pick up some MX500s for $20. Except, I like how the Sony's look and feel. I also have the option if I want to isolate outide noise or not. I don't want to fall into the ditch and getting buds that will hurt my ears again.

More specifically, I heard about how one cord is longer with the fontopias. How does everyone else feel with that? Also, are they any good with running? I heard you can hear the sound everytime the cord touches something. Does that apply to the EX71s too? Lastly, can anyone convince me why I should pay extra and grab the EX71s over the EX51s?

Thats a lot of questions, I know. I need to be clear! Hope I can get some answers.

Thanks,
Makki
