So the MDR-EX90LPs aren't noise-isolation earphones--nor does Sony claim them to be. The downside is that extraneous noise can seep into your music-listening experience; on the other hand, this means that you can still hear what's going on around you, which is probably safer in most cases. Another negative is that bass isn't as present as it would be with a proper seal. However, the MDR-EX90LPs provide a rather tight low end, it's just not as thumping as with noise-isolation models (or full-size headphones, for that matter).

In general, sound quality provided by the MDR-EX90LP earphones is superior. All genres of music sound equally good, making these 'phones a great choice for a wide variety of listeners. The MDR-EXX90LPs offer great high-end detail and clarity, and we were rewarded with a rich and warm midrange. Of course, plenty of worthy competitors are in this price range, but now you can add one more option to the list.

Summary: 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 don't
