Sophisticated looking and great performance! [Posted on 2008-03-31] I was amazed at the sound quality coming from these little things. I was looking for work out phones to replace my big clunky ear cupping head phones and these are nearly as good! As a matter of fact, I'm using these headphones full time now! That's how good. Now I am no audiophile but my Ipod has never sounded better! I have over 3,000 songs and videos so I'm no novice either. These little things are worth the price in sound quality and simple aesthetics. They are sophisticated looking. I've already had many questions and compliments. Sony is known for sophisticated looking gadgets so it's no suprise but the sound quality impressed me for sure.
Sony MDR-EX90LP Stereo Earphones [Posted on 2008-04-05] Sony MDR-EX90LP Stereo Earphones
WHEN I PURCHASED THE EX90LP THEY WERE $100.00 ALL I CAN SAY IS AT THE NEW CURRENT LOWER PRICE THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT. AS MUCH AS A SONY PRODUCT PERSON I AM THESE ARE DEFINATELY NOT WORTH MORE THAN $25.00 THEY ARE FOR ME DIFFICULT TO STAY IN MY EARS NO MATTER WHAT SIZE RUBBER BOOT I USE AND NEED TO BE CONSTANLY CLEANED THE CENTER SEEMS TO GATHER EAR WAX TOO EASILY, I AM A VERY HYGENIC PERSON AND I KNOW SOME PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW CLEAN SUFFER FROM TOO MUCH WAX IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE DEFINATELY STAY AWAY FROM THESE PHONES.
Unique Design - Earphones without Isolation [Posted on 2008-04-17] The Sony MDR-EX90LPs are different from all other earphones out there - they don't isolate you from outside noise. For many people, this is a deal-breaker. But, if you want some ability to hear what is going on around you, the Sony MDR-EX90LPs are great. In addition, because there is little isolation, there is almost no "microphonic effect" (noise from the cord moving).
A more minor difference from other earphones is the fit. The Sony MDR-EX90LPs come with the same comfortable silicone tips that many other earphones use. This alone is usually enough to keep earphones from falling out. But, in this case, the large driver also sits in your outer ear much like a pair of earbud headphones. This makes them fit more securely than other silicone tip earphones, without sacrificing comfort.
Overall, the Sony MDR-EX90LPs are excellent earphones. Both the sound and build quality seem excellent; they are definitely worth the price. They are very efficient in terms of volume produced and have plenty of bass. If you need more bass, make use of their efficiency by EQing the mid and treble down and turning up the volume. (EQing up on mp3 players usually causes distortion.) Also, keep in mind that the cord is designed to run behind your neck; some people prefer a more standard "Y-shaped" cord.
Basically, if you aren't too concerned with isolation, the Sony MDR-EX90LPs are worthy of consideration due to their quality, secure fit, and lack of "microphonic effect". For activities where being conscious of your surroundings is important (e.g. running outdoors or working in an office), they are more than worthy - they should be your first choice among earphones.
Excellent Earbuds, worth the money you spent [Posted on 2008-04-24] I my opinion, Sony is the best headphone manufacture because all their products produce accurate and mellow sounds. This EX90LP are the best earbuds I've owned so far, only inferior in volume compared to those huge overhead headphones. I switched from Microsoft Zune 80 Premium earbuds to Sony EX90LP ,it takes a about a week for me to feel comfortable with them. The thing that is little bit anoying is if you don't find the perfect size for you, it won't seal your ears perfectly. Overall, these are the best earphones you can get for casual listening!
Excellent Performance [Posted on 2008-06-26] I purchased the Sony MDR-EX90LP Stereo Earphones a month ago and must say that I am totally satisfied with their performance. I use these with an Ipod Nano (2G). They produce crisp, clean highs and and powerful bass. They are also comfortable and stylish to wear. Try to avoid fake earphones from China that are sold at other sites for around $35. Amazon sells the real Sony product.
