I have to make a confession...
...I now finally conclusively know that the Sony EXx1 earphones really are pretty lame, with no midrange presence at all, a boosted treble, and a really one dimensional bass...
Now, most of you hear will laugh at me saying 'told you so'... and so be it, I deserve the mockery for being so far behind the times
Anyways... the reason for my defection, the Philips HN-060, noise cancelling canal 'phones, which cost less than the EX81, but sound considerably better
Ignore what the Amazon.com reviews say - I have nothing but praise for these... the only one concession, if you're the kind of person who listens to your NON restricted iPod at FULL volume, you might find that these get upset (maximum rated input 15mw!!)
Anyway, I can give you more accurate impressions if you would like, else - this post / thread will just sink down to the bottom of the head-fi post ocean...
...Either way, I'm glad to be free of the Sony stranglehold at last
