 Excellent Headphones August 8, 2007

I bought these headphones as a replacement for my Sony EX71SL's when they fell to bits on me last week. Having used the new ones for a couple of days I have found the following pros and cons over my old headphones:
Pros:
=====
Sound quality is absolutely fantastic. No distortion in the bass at all - even at louder volumes, clear mids and crisp treble. On performing a direct comparison the sound is much more open and life like - fantastic. You can feel totally engrossed in the music and pick out subtle details you would never have heard with the EX71s. Whilst the EX90s do produce noticably less bass than the EX71s, it is by no means non existant and in my opinion is much more realistic. The bass has a much richer sound to it.
These headphones are not as expensive as some "higher end" models available. Given the sound quality they produce, I think they represent pretty good value for money.
Cons
====
The headphones are larger and make my ears ache slightly after extended use - and can be awkward to insert on occasion.
The headphones do not isolate as well - this has the effect of drowning out the bass levels in a more noisy environment and leaking more sound to irritate your fellow commuters. This has the advantage, though, that announcements can be heard without having to remove the headphones - sparing you the embarrassment of having to be physically evicted from a train which has broken down.
Conclusion
==========
In conclusion I am extremely happy with the new headphones. They offer a clarity massively surpassing that of the EX71s. I am slightly disappointed that the headphones do not isolate as well and leak more noise (hence the loss of one star), though this is more than made up for by the improvement in the overall sound. Highly recommended.

Always been a fan of sony ear phones since back in the day when a walkman was a tape player. Recently bought some sony ex 71s - great fit, good sound but frankly awful. The ear buds fell off and if you lost them - silly money to replace (now you can buy them for a couple of quid here on Amazon), the wire coating was too soft and it kinked, stretched and the rubber came away exposing very frail copper strands. So they went in the bin. Looked for new ear phones. These looked good, but my last experince of Sonys put me off. A few months down the line after reading lots of reviews I took the plunge.
They are amazing! Superb sound compared to ex71s, I've played a range of music and it all sounds superb - my eclectic tastes range form Kate Rusby, via the Gorillaz, to Hendrix so I've tried them with a range of musical styles. On full volume it was very reminiscent of being 12 and putting the stereo speakers very close together then putting your head between them! Great stuff.
Robust metal phone bodies. Same silly rubber ear buds but now its a couple of quid to get replacements so no big deal. Big bonus which I would expect at this price a proper storage case (leather) with a hard plastic winder insert. The cables look considerably more robust, fingers crossed. I'll be hanging onto my guarantee card and receipt just in case.
Superb sound quality! February 20, 2007

these headphones are like none i have ever worn or heard before, the fit is remarkable especially due to the rubber fittings supplied. the design and aesthetics are quite nice especially the aluminium drivers cages. they look very small however when put on and listening to any type of master cut record it sounds absoloutely marvellous. bass is very very good, the mids are also very good and the highs are extremely nice, you can hear a distinct bell or ringing sound which is lovely to experieince. some people complain about the mids on these headphones i believe they are not listening to the music that tests these headphones to thier ability. by listening to music by such artsist as tangerine dream and jean michel jarre you will find that these headphones are more than what you have paid for. i believe the quality of these headphones are most definelty excelled through the quality of the music that is being played. these headphones or shall i say for any headphone the sound quality can never ever be perfect to the original studio where music was first performed or played and so for the most closest effect to this, it is best you buy floorstanding speakers as these are most likely to produce the 'live' affect. the headphones offer a lot for the size and weight of them. the sound isolation is very good, i cant hear any low background noise and i think this is due to the litz OFC cord attached to the headphones drivers. noise cancelling headphones are a load of bull as the music you may be listening to contains alot of noise itself. these headphones are clean cut and absoloutely fabulous, im sure you will be impressed. if you find any better in-ear headphones, i would like to hear about them myself so please do not hesitate to contact me jag_malik@hotmail.com

These headphones sound great but be warned...they leak sound even when shoved all the way in. I'm sticking with the Shure E3c's for the office which don't leak any sound at all, and means I don't get paperclips flicked at me noggin by my co-workers.
