After several complaints about a pair of earbuds, Sony developers decided to finally pull the product off the market and re-introduce a new one. The MDR-EX500SL was developed to fit snug and comfortably into the human ear. The previous model was reported as being very uncomfortable to wear and could have also been a possible hazard to the ear. The new contoured shape allows it to go further into the ear, so the whole experience may sound much more realistic. Even though the headset brings better advantages, some have compared it to a cinnamon roll because of its strange shape.

The set is going to be released on October 10, 2008 for US $85-90. The unit comes in four colors: blue, red, black and white.
