The SONY MDR-EX90 earphones are noise-isolating earphones with awesome, stereo sound. Street price is US$89.00 per pair. The major critical difference between this earphone and the others in the Sony MDR-EX series is the size of the drivers. This earphone uses 13.5 mm drivers, whilst the MDR-EX81, MDR-EX71 and MDR-EX51 all use 9 mm drivers.
Larger sized drivers yields distinct improvements in sound clarity, and greater efficiency.with lower drive levels. These earphones are rated at 106 dB/mW whereas all the ones with the 9 mm drivers are rated only at 100 dB/mW ( a 6 dB improvement!). With about 3dB we would all hear a clear difference in the volume level.
Testing out the earphones the human voice came out more naturally and I could hear deeper bass and clearer highs with more overtones and longer resonances. The mid range is sweet and listening to saxophone was particularly enjoyable. The highs are crisp and not shrill and the lows are deep and rich. The in canal ear buds are very comfortable and do not hurt after protracted periods unlike some others.
Available from Levenger is this beautiful Cherry wood pen stand with ink well for US$38.00. Any serious writer should have one gracing their desk.

To interface my portable MP3/4 players, portable CD and DVD to my fixed home components such as table top headphone amplifiers I use a Monster Cable StereoLink Home cable which has a stereo 3.4mm plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. I have tried the run of the mill y type cables with such plug configurations and found loss of detail and the music sounded pale and bland. The StereoLink restored vital music information. US$29.95
