Thanks a *lot* for that information Mr Adams.

The MDR-7520 caught my attention because they seemed like really good monitoring phones that would both work well with portable electronics and survive being accidentally fed a really loud 8Hz sine, or whatever.

When, before I got to listen to them, they apparently evaporated from Europe, I thought, unknowing bureaucrats even had a say, they somehow failed in the market, although I could never quite guess how (and Sony just said "discontinued").

While not sure I would have bought them, had I found them nearby, this made it more a matter of principle, so now I've imported a pair.

I like them a lot at, mostly, reasonable levels. I think they'll serve me well for many years, and I love the sheer sensibility in having a standard 3,5mm plug in BOTH ends of the cable. THAT should made a EU norm.
