Last year, Sony tested the waters with MDR-EX90LP, a $100 hybrid earphone that looked like a metal, large-speakered earbud with a silicone eartip attached. But with a selling price substantially higher than Sony?s in-canal MDR-EX70 and MDR-EX80 models, a larger enclosure, and audio performance comparable to less-expensive earbuds, EX90 was at best good, but too expensive. What would people have thought if it had sold for much less? Sony?s?
