As a follow up to our previous report on the new range of EX series canal-type earphones, we would like to bring to your attention to more details regarding Sony’s new mid and lower tier EX series – the MDR-EX85SL, MDR-EX52SL and MDR-EX32LP/SL. These aforementioned EX series canal-type earphones will be available for sale on November 10, 2006 with a MSRP of 6,195 yen (approx. USD$52), 3,675 yen (approx. USD$31) and 3,098 yen (appox. USD$26) respectively.
MDR-EX85SL
As we have reported previously, the MDR-EX85SL has been designated as a budget version of the MDR-EX90SL by Sony. Employing the same driver unit as the 90SL, Sony’s latest addition of “EX Monitor” MDR-EX85SL will be available in four color schemes: blue, white, violet and red.
To reflect the reduction in price, some different parts were used for the MDR-EX85SL to reduce its production cost relative to the MDR-EX90SL. In addition, the exclusive quality and control system instituted for the MDR-EX90SL will be excluded as well – where SQ is being inspected individually before final shipment.
