Excellent Headphones!!
I have had headphones before but these are by far the best! The sound is excellent and cancels out noise brilliantly. They are very loud and I sometimes have to keep my iPod volume at half for it not to be too loud! However the bass is not very impressive. Perhaps this is due to the ipod itself as I am comparing the bass to the Walkman's MegabassTM which is far superior. The headphones fit very comfortably and do not fall out like the original ipod headphones. This is a very good buy!

Brilliant but just broke!
This is probably the best pair of headphone's I've ever owned (so far). In the past 3 years I have gone through a pair of Sony EX71s and Sure E2Cs, with the EX90s blowing them both out of the water.

The Sures had great sound but annoyed the hell out of me as their weight and design kept making them slip out of my ear in the gym. The EX71's were decent, but had a very frail cable in which the rubber wore away after a few months. After that, I was hesitant to buy another pair of Sony's but I decided to plop the cash down on a pair of MX90's anyways.

The sound is absolutely brilliant, although the bass isn't super strong. To be honest, no longer being a teenager, I much prefer a clear, audible bass than a rumbling distorted one anyways. They look great, feel perfect in my ear and effectively block out most external noise. Unfortunately, after a year of solid use, the cable is dying on me again, with the rubber coating pulling away from the jack and exposing the copper wires inside. Then, just yesterday the sound started conking out from the right ear and there doesn't seem to be any amount of wiggling or adjusting that can fix it. And of course, my year warranty JUST expired so now I have to buy another pair. I've been (mostly) loyal to Sony for over a decade, but I think I may actually go with some Sennheiser CX 95s this time around.

Backwards Step
Bought and loved pair of £40 fonotopias abount 3 years ago but recently lost them - gutted

Thought I would get these, more expensive so better yes?

No, old ones fitted in ear perfectly, wore for hours , why Sony think that adding a frisbee onto them and expect them not to rub your outer ear raw after 10 mins is beyond me

Do not buy, bass is poor - what bass, fit is poor and uncomfortable. Go for cheaper versions which do not have a dinner plate attached to the section that fits in the ear

Why can't designers learn from history of good design-beware clever photo angle is misleading
