Sony's Fashionable Earphones:Made for Her

Most headphones are clearly designed for men. There aren't that many that appeal to women. Sony has tried to rectify this problem with their MDR-EX33 series of in-ear headphones. They come in a variety of fashionable colors.

These headphones come in six different colors to add a little more bling to your style. They also come with a nice and comfortable soft rubber padding, surrounding a firm central inner liner. They are available in Japan for $22. For that price, you can purchase more than one color to mix and match.

Really, not a single word on how they *sound*? I'm a woman who is concerned with style, of course, but the whole purpose of headphones is the sound quality. Don't pander to women, AT! I'm disappointed.

Yes, I'm a little surprised by this:
Most headphones are clearly designed for men.
I was under the assumption that most headphones are clearly designed for ears. Hey! Look! I have ears! Aaaaaand girly bits. Guess which part of my anatomy is relevant to purchasing headphones?

Good job with the marketing. Bad job with the technical capabilities. Sure, they may sound fine, but uh... I can't really HEAR it when they don't STAY in my ear!
Work on that first Sony, and then you can start adding shiny things to it.

Oh, FFS, when are the marketing dudes going to figure out that women, like men, want *quality products*, not pink crap?

Honestly, this just looks like y'all posted the press release. Perhaps this is actually an advertisement?
