Sony MDR-XB500
Wow, we love these headphones! Big, tight, punchy well articulated bass. Very tastefully done, and well integrated with smooth mids and highs that don't bite. And, as if that's not enough, the Sony MDR-XB500 is an extremely comfortable and beautiful-looking headphone; overall design, manufacture, and finish are superb. Highly Recommended!
Product Features:
- BIG punchy bass integrated into a very enjoyable overall sound. Well done!
- Big soft earpads are wonderfully comfortable.
- Styling, build quality, fit and finish are superb by this fine maker.
Applications:
Sony's hip line of extra-bass [XB] headphones seriously rocks. For the big bass connoisseur, the bang for the buck value of these plush cans just can't be beat. Did we say plush? Oh yeah. Take a look at the oversize, over-stuffed earpads on the Sony XB500 headphones and you know those long nights of jamming your music will be as comfortable as your favorite soft leather couch. The sound of the XB500 has a satisfying accentuation in the mid-bass region that gives their low-end thump solid authority. The highs remain present and clear so the XB500 is fortunately not overly murky in the critical upper treble ranges. Great headphones for school or street, the XB500 will give your iPod or laptop computer new musical life and a serious dose of extra-bass flavor. Enjoy!
The Sony XB500 headband is both comfortable and secure and adjusts easily to different size heads without struggle. Of course, the uber-plush deep pleather earpads are amongst the most comfortable ever designed by Sony and should offer great long-term wearing comfort and excellent durability. The headphone flat-wound cord resists tangles and extends about 9 ft in length. 1/8" [3.5mm] mini-plug termination. No full-size 1/4" adapter plug is provided.
