I just got some MX 90's for my birthday
I like them a lotttt

I can hear things i never heard with the normal ipod headphones, and they were the new ones too.

But i have some complaints and im not sure if the error is me or if thats just how the headphones are.

1. One thing i noticed is that A LOT of sound is leaking to the outside.
At half volume on my ipod sound is leaking out of my ears to the extent that people can hear me.

In fact, i got my ipod taken away in math because he said he could hear my headphones, i foudn this wierd because it was only at half volume which is my normal playing volume


2. The fit isnt that great. Ive switched the rubbers and large holds them in for the most part. They loosen when i shake my head.

On the topic, id also say how comportable the earphones are. Its like their not even there and the sound is as if it was all around me, rather then just coming out of some earphones.




So what im wondering is:

If the rubber earpiece not fitted correctly which is why im leaking sound ?
and is that the same problem for the looseness of the fit ?

Im also wondering howt they should be fitting into my ear.

Should they be in my canal ?
When pushing in it does sound stronger.




help :]
please and thank you

Unfortunately the EX90's are going to leak some sound even if the fit is good. These are not designed for noise isolation, but rather for comfort.

You are probably going to have to toy around with the tips to find the right fit. Large tips falling out could mean two things, one the tips are too big or the tips are too small. I would say start with small wear them a bit, see if they fall out and continue down the line. My sister had to do that with her MDR-EX51.
