Has anyone had a listen through Sonys' MDR-EX85, aka EX082 in ear noise cancelling earphones?
Not sure if the 082's are the same quality or not.Also the earbuds are mounted like on a joystick,are these adjustable or fixed in place?

Like most Sony earphones, I'm willing to bet that it's overpriced and/or underperforming. I highly recommend the Creative EP-630 instead. Cheap but good sound and build quality

(edit: and very comfortable)

I don't know what they sound like. I have heard they are very good, but what is really important is that they fit your ears right. If they don't make a good seal in your ear you won't get any bass from them. This is true for all in-ear headphones.

Got to try them today & they are very good for such a small driver.Wouldn't buy them from a Sony store in a fit of Sundays though!
Rort does not fit the price decription.
