Hi,

I need some help from the "experts" out there. I'm leaning towards picking up an iPod, as well as a new set of headphones, specifically the Sony MDR-EX70SL "NUDE EX" earbuds. I "hear" great things about 'em.

My online research has shown three variants of these earbuds:

(1) MDR-EX70LP
* uses the L-shaped plug
* short cord
* black
* sold in North America
* aprox $45 US

(2) MDR-EX70SP
* uses the straight plug
* short cord
* not sold in North America (???)
* price (???)

(3) MDR-EX70SL
* uses the straight plug
* short cord AND an extension
* black OR white
* sold in America via Japan
* $58 US

My questions:

(1) Aside from the colour, length of cord, do these buds have the same "guts"? Is there a difference in sound?
(2) If the short cord is suitable, should I go with the first model, MDR-EX70LP?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, sunoxen.
