Fun, funky new headphones sound as good as they look

Add a splash of colour to enjoying your favourite music with this season’s new collection of great value headphones from Sony. Whether you’re listening to your favourite downloads, catching up on the latest podcasts or gaming in private with your handheld console, you’ll enjoy sensational sound plus fresh, attention-grabbing looks.

MDR-570 closed-type headphone

Show you’re serious about streetwise looks and great sound with the colourful new MDR‑570 – a perfect upgrade for your MP3 player’s supplied headphones.

The light, stylish new closed design features a slim headband and pressure-relieving urethane cushioned ear-pads for extra wear comfort. You’ll enjoy superb sound quality with extended frequency response thanks to the 30mm Neodymium driver that can handle up to a generous 1000mW input power.

Smart design touches include a handy cord length adjuster and ear cups that swivel flat for easy carrying. An luxurious extra touch is added by the gold plated stereo mini plug. The MDR-570 is available in a choice of five colours to match your personal style: Black, Orange, Green, Brown and Blue indigo.

MDR-370 open-type headphone

Now younger music lovers can enjoy fabulous sound quality plus fun, eye-catching looks that don’t cost a fortune.

Like the MDR-570, the colourful new MDR-370 features pressure-relieving urethane ear-pad cushions for ultimate comfort, plus an extra slim, adjustable headband that’s sized to youthful teenage music fans. Sparkling sound with crisply extended highs and lows is assured by the 30mm Neodymium driver that offers high 1000mW power handling for smooth, low distortion reproduction of your MP3 collection.

Weighing just 52g, the MDR-370 is available in four cute colour choices: Pink, Blue, Green and White. It includes a convenient cord adjuster to cut the mess of tangled wires.

MDR-EX77LP and MDR-EX57 in-ear headphones

When style matters as much as premium sound, the new MDR-EX77LP in-ear headphone delivers an altogether more satisfying listening experience. Wear is more secure and comfortable than ever: with redesigned angle structure plus extra soft silicone pad, MDR-EX77LP fits the contours of the inner ear more naturally while reducing sound leakage.

A 9mm High Sensitivity Neodymium driver assures high quality sound with extended frequency response and a wide dynamic range. The supplied cord adjuster keeps things tidy and tangle free: there’s also a supplied carry case to protects your headphones while you’re travelling. The MDR-EX77LP is available in black or white.

Available in a choice of five mouthwatering colourways – black, white, blue, violet, pink – the MDR-EX57LP also offers the same comfort fit and great sound quality at an even more compelling price.

The new MDR-570, MDR-370, MDR-EX77 and MDR-EX57 headphones by Sony are available from May 2010.
