Thanks. I probably stop at the MX980 as I don't really need any more phones and my JH13 take care of the portable duties for me.
To my ears, it is more difficult to achieve bigger and deeper soundstage for earbuds or IEMs. Yes, I'm hearing what you are hearing about the E484. I love my E484 and that's the primary reason why I held on to two of them for this long. The E484 and E888 have tremendous sentimental value to me, as they were my constant companion during my college days together with my Sharp MD-SS323 player.
Yep, the MX980 are great. I'm also curious about the MX985, but since the MX980 are so great the MX985 can surely only have cosmetic changes...
I still think that the sony E484 are great. The sound is much more in your face than the MX980, and the soundstage is smaller, but the music still feels layered. The E282 are slightly better than the E484, and I find the old E252 to be even better and very close to the MX980 (and Blox TM7 which sound as good as the MX980). It's sad that Sony made their best earbuds 30 years ago and then each model slowly got worse.
If you have the opportunity, check out Blox ANV3 or TM7. Those are amazing as well!
