Sony MDR-EX90LP

By Jasmine France (zdnet.com)

It may be hard to believe now, but Sony used to rule the portable audio world. And if the company keeps turning out quality headphones, it may keep a share of that world. Sony's latest pair of low-profile earbuds, the MDR-EX90LP, stand to help the ...

Sony MDR-EX90LP

By (cnet.com)

The Sony MDR-EX90LP provides excellent clarity and detail and decent bass response ; the understated black-and-silver design meshes well with most gadgets

The silicone ear fittings included with the Sony MDR-EX90LP don't always create a seal with the ear ; no cable extender for at-home listening

The Sony MDR-EX90LP earbuds sound as good as their $100 price tag suggests, but there's nothing particularly exciting about them. They're just good headphones with an understated design.

Sony MDR-EX90LP Stereo Headphones

By iLounge (ilounge.com)

iLounge readers and editors have for years considered Sony's MDR-EX series of in-canal earphones to be amongst the better replacement options for Apple's iPod pack-ins - sold for $50 or less, the company's EX71s and 81s were amongst the first low-end ...

A hybrid metal, plastic, and silicone rubber earphone design that delivers better clarity than Sony's lower-priced MDR-EX series offerings, complete with a small leather case and plastic cord management insert. Design fits in both outer ear and ear ...

Large earpieces provide less of a seal, and thereby less isolation, than both same-priced competitors and company's earlier designs. Flatter sound and less detail than peer in-canal earphones ; impressive mostly by comparison with same company's ...

I bought a set in December and I love them. At first I thought they were lacking in the mid range area compared to my MDRE888's but after tweaking the audio properties through iTunes a little they rock. They don't totally block outside sound but I ...

"Deep Bass, Incredible Sound, Perfect for Exercising"

By robpassamano (cnet.com)

I've had these Sony MDR-EX90's for 2 years no... 

Great Sound, Perfect for the Gym ... The Buds stay in the ear canal while exercising. Love the Wrap Around the head. Stylish. Owned these for 2+ yrs. Would buy again.

They block all sound, which is the purpose ... so it's hard to listen to the tv or talk while at the gym when they're in. Other than that. AMAZING.
