Reviews: Sony MDR-EX85LP Stereo Headphones

 

Last year, Sony tested the waters with MDR-EX90LP, a $100 hybrid earphone that looked like a metal, large-speakered earbud with a silicone eartip attached. But with a selling price substantially higher than Sony's in-canal MDR-EX70 and MDR-EX80 models,...

Sony MDR-EX85LP

 

When it comes to top quality high-end headphones, the range Sony products that hits our shores is sparse. In the overseas market, the top-end of the S...

Smooth texture, Great overall sound quality, Comfortable design

Some sibilance, Slightly fatiguing

A great portable in-ear headphone from Sony, the EX85LPs are great for easy listening, offering a smooth sound and comfortable design.

Great earbuds

 

"The sound is great for the price. Excellent range and base. I like the tweeter bass design with the earbuds, and they are very comfortable. Most usually end up hurting my ears after a long time, but with these no problem. These came with my walkman...

They didn't last and something came loose

Very Nice Earphones

 

"I have had a number of earbud type earphones over the years and have never been completely satisfied with them. I have had other Sonys that sounded good but did not last. Usually one side went dead. I also had a set of Sennheiser CX300s. These have...

Nice sound with good bass and sensitivity. They fit well in the ear and stay there

Nothing yet. I have not had much luck with the longevity of other earbuds. I will update

Blown Away

 

"I've been searching for earphones for a very long time and i remembered i bought some MDR EX 7 series a few years ago the most dependable buds i had until the wiring came loose after months of jogging and getting tangled. Most recently I just returned...

Good earphones for the money

MDR EX series known for cheap wiring

great fit - long term comfort

I can still hear everything around me
