Sony MDR-NC22- Any recommendations

[BIGHMW]

What do you people think of the new MDR-NC22 noise canceling headphones?

I am looking to sell off my MDR-NC6 cans in favor of something a bit more compact, however I am worried about a lack of decent volume output with my MZ-NH700 Hi-MD Walkman or my D-NE700 ATRAC CD Walkman (both non-EU models, but still only 5 mW per channel) when compared to my NC6's (102 dB for the NC22's compared to 106 dB for the NC6 units), but the compact style (excluding the inappropriately-long 1.5 meter cord which is not so remote-friendly which will be swapped for a shorter 0.5m cord from a bad pair of EX71s when I get the NC22s), especially the clip-on battery box and my preferred color choice in black/silver which will go good with my similarly-color-schemed RM-MC40ELK remote is kind of enticing, but before I blow $85.00 US on them, are they worth it?

I await any and all reviews.

I bought these headphones and they are teriffic, depending of the music played, and the unit used and the EQ settings on it.

I know it is an early review, as most of these N.U.D.E EX series (and all headphones in general) units benefit greatly from "burn-in", so I KNOW they will get better with use.

I will be writing a review on them early next week, so stay tuned, and it will be "double-posted" on both ATRAC Life and the MDCF as well.
