I using my W800 now... I havent noticed and jarring/distortion (although I'm listening only at 60-70% volume). However, its certainly not as good as the MDR-EX71 from Sony.
I am using the MDR-EX71 with the 3.5mm connector mentioned earlier on the K750. The sound is good, I can't use magebass option or else the sound is too bassy. I can listen at 100% volume no probs (Pretty much need to when i am on the tube). I have ordered the SE HPM-70 headset, but I do wonder if it is worth buying it at all! I find the original earphoned unuseable as they don't even fit in the ear very well.

do you mean the headphones make the music distort?
It is not the headphone that distorts but the output transistor that is reaching saturation. This is an indication that you have reached the max that the output can provide and it starts to clip.

I hope this doesn't sound like an obvious comment, but could it be that your particular headphones are faulty?
Get back in touch with SE or wherever you got the phone from and see if you can get the phones exchanged.

Hardly. You are dealing with a $20 "stereo system" at best, and you want to push it to full volume and expect it to perform?
I have two B & W Matrix speakers, an NAD 2200 Amp, and I can not run these to full power without distorting the music. However, the better the source, the more headroom you will have. In short, it is probably not the headphones but the actually phone itself.

yup, i believe its the fone cos it amplifies headphones less than that of a portable cd player, try it urself, just use one hdfone and the same song and test it with either a k750 or w800 and then try the hfone using a portable cd player, set it both at max.. you'll notice that the k7/w8 has less than that of a proable cd players max volume.. btw? jarrring problem? i dont see why u guys dont have a point of reference.. those of u testing the earphones for jarring/clipping should have only 1 song as a point of reference..

4 the 1st time i bought k7, there was no jarring problem at all and im usually listening to mp3 house music almost at full vol all the time. And than i lost the phone, i bought another one, but right now im experience jarring problem at 1 bar b4 max vol using 2 same headphone. I guess it's a software probs, other than that the media player is not stable too, still a lot of bug. My firmware is r1j, anybody experience the same thing?

All,
I have a W800i and with the stock HPM-70 headset/headphones, it doesn't clip/distort at full volume. However, if you try and use the Mega Bass EQ option, anything greater than 80%-90% volume will indeed cause it to clip.
I decided to go ahead and swap the stock HPM-70 headphones for a set of Sony MDA-EX71SL's and there is indeed a difference. The EX71's have much better bass response than the HPM-70's do and they resist the clipping much better. I think that the HPM-70's sound crisper at lower volumes (especially when using the Mega Bass EQ setting), but the EX71's are better sounding at louder volumes. Since the EX71's already have a lot of Bass built into them, I've taken to not using the Mega Bass setting with them and instead I've set up a customized EQ setting (BTW, I really wish that the phone would remember your customized EQ settings).
I've heard folks mention that the HPM-70's are equivalent to the MDA-EX71's, but they're definitely not (they're probably more along the lines of the EX51's). I personally like the EX71's better than the stock HPM-70 headphones as I generally like a bit more base in my music. They also fit quite a lot better in my ears than the stock HPM-70's do. Also, I really hate the silly boom that comes on the stock HPM-70 headset as it is always causing the earbuds to be yanked out of my ears. However, the really great thing about the stock HPM-70 headset is that you can always swap the headphones and use your favorite set instead.

Has anyone here stopped for a moment to realize that you are complaining about the sound quality coming from a phone? YES phone. It is not an .mp3 player but has one built in, so this is not its primary function. If you want great sound, then buy an iPod or Diskman or some other device that is design for this purpose but to continue moaning on and on about the sound coming from your phone is completely childish. If there was a problem with the sound coming from the phone, then you would have something to complain about.
