>Do the ~$60 Sony Nude EX earbuds sound good?
Better than anything I'd heard before, especially compared to earbuds.

>Does it have Y cable, or asymmetric behind-the-neck cable?
? The left bud's cord is shorter than the right. If that makes any sense.

>Is the Japanese version different (short cord + extender, 3 sizes of ear
>gasket)?
DUnno.
>
>Do they get dirty?
The buds are removable, made of silicone, so you can wash them with
detergent. They get as dirty as your ears are dirty. Use a q-tip every
other day and you should be fine.
>Are they easy to insert?
You bet. Just be careful that no morons yank em out quick. They seal quite
effectively in your ear canal, so it can hurt a bit.
>
>Do they block background noise better than earbuds?
I don't hear much at all if they're in and no music's playing.
>
>Do they have more bass than the $10 Sony earbuds? (consider low-bass,
>mid-bass, upper-bass, as well as overall bass)
Subjective, really.
>
>Do they have a good balance of bass/mid/treble?
I'd like a little more high-end, but a simple adjust of the MD unit's treble
level fixed that.
>
>Do they have smooth mids (equal amount of low-mids, mid-mids, upper-mids)?
Subjective.
>
>Do they have smooth treble (equal amount of lower-treble, middle-treble,
>and
>upper-treble)?
Subjective.

Personally, I LOVE my pair of ex's. They sound fantastic, especially when
walking around a downtown area, because they really block the ambient noise.
Also great for work..
