Sony MDR-EX90LP - Any good?

I have seen these on the Sony Website, and wondered if they are any good? The website says they are the best, but are they?

they're sony earbuds. chances are they are crap, like th erest of them. ive read thru a few revies and most of them are saying the treble is a little harsh (suprise) and the noise cancelling isnt up to much (again looking at the design....suprise). Most of them also go on to say the fit isnt not very comfortable.

Id wait for more revies, but dont expect much.

I had two pairs of the EX71s. They both had the durability of a chocolate kettle.

That's funny because my EX71 headphones lasted ages?

new ones dont. mine fell to pieces in months, my gf's older pair are nearly 2 years old. only the silver stuff thats worn off gives any sign of use - the cable is untouched.

Did you use them daily?

Everyday at uni, going to uni, coming back from uni and general use

So I guess I'd count as an extremely heavy user (every day).

Mine lasted ages, only stopped using them due to the earbuds coming off from the earpieces very easily and the earbud went walkies, so I just went for something different.

Im just interested in how comfy they are and how good the sound quality is?

I've owned the EX71's...good but a little heavy in the bass department. The EX81's however were perfect, not so bassy. and are probably the most comfortable headphones i've ever used. ever. I've got some pretty expensive Shure e4c's. and for some reason i still prefer the ex81's.
