Is is just me, or does anyone else like having less isolation?

Why wouldnt they? These are XBA so by the consumers eyes they should be like the first XBA iems which had great isolation.

Because dynamic drivers needs a vent, which subtracts from isolation.

By the consumers eyes, wouldn't they be expected to isolate like the EX series that they look very much like esp. the H3?

Any reason why? I like flushing all sounds out, just me and my music.

I don't know. I feel too isolated at times. I'm just bit paranoid at times if there's too much isolation.

I can relate to that. Someone might be breaking into your house and you'll never hear it...

I'm more worried about missing phone calls or not hearing my friends call me(I live in a dorm)... but I guess that's a practical possibility.

I hope they are offered with a standard cable with no controls at all.

I think they will include both standard and remote cable.

Are these better than the Shure SE535's? The H3's i mean.

We don't know yet, but I'm guessing so. Definitely better bass. Sony's dynamic driver is famous for it's bass.
