Sony MDR-XB50AP In-Ear Extra Bass Headphones with In-Line Control - Red

I just got these so I haven't had too much chance to test them properly but first impressions are overall good. As per marketing, this product is an absolute BEAST in bass response. Their frequency response starts at 4Hz which is ridiculous because human ears can't even hear frequencies this low but you can almost feel them. Imagine you're in a club stabding right in front of the speakers, specifically the subs - that's what it replicates, and it does a good job at that. The quality feels solid and sturdy, although the earphones are quite bulky comparatively but not uncomfortable - they sit nicely and don't feel too heavy. The microphone is of good quality and very clear. The only issue with them is that the bass loudness might be a bit of an overkill for some music and listeners. If the song is modern and has been mixed/mastered well, especially if it's electronic, then it will sound pretty great, but I wouldn't use them for anything except that. As many have said, it's like a club in your ears so they're compatible with only certain music. Overall, I'm loving them so far as I can reduce the bass in my phone's EQ settings if I feel like the bass is too much, but considering the quality, comfort, crisp sound and price - I think this is an absolute steal! UPDATE AFTER 5 MONTHS: Updated from 4 stars to 5. These have been my main earphones in daily use. I've been listening to music with them pretty much daily and they still work excellent! I've lost a couple of the rubber bits but luckily they came with plenty of replacements! Now I must say... These earphones have ruined all other earphones for me. Listening to DJ mixes and any other music is just absolute pleasure. The amount of bass seemed overwhelming at first but now I cannot live without it. It's awesome to listen to my favourite duo 2manydjs / Soulwax because I feel like the earphones do an incredible job of making you feel like you're actually at the club. I'm buying another pair of them as a backup because after all this time, and for this price, I don't think there is any other product that could even come close to this.

So I decided to write this review as I recently upgraded to an iphone xs from my 6s so I have lost the earphone jack 😔 as a result of the Apple lightning to audio jack being bloody terrible I have had to start looking at new earphones. Unfortunately Sony doesn’t seem to have some lightning jack earphone as yet. Anyway for the last 2 years I have been using these earphones for about 12hours a day which is my working day length. These are literally the best earphones I have ever owned & I have recommended them to anyone who’s asked. As for the performance these deliver sound crystal clear! No bass distortion even when listening to bass enhanced music. These produce the sound quality of a pair of much much more expensive earphones, so at a bargin of £25 (when I bought them) you cannot go wrong. Durability, as I said I have listened to these pretty much daily since purchase & they still work perfectly, I have lost count of how many times I have accidently caught the wire & yanked them out but they still work perfectly. Constantly being wrapped round my hand for storage & no wires starting to be pulled out. As a reference I used to get through Apples genuine earpods at the rate of about 1 pair every 3-6months. These are very very comfortable also & come with different sized ear pieces. I love these earphones & when I get my new earphones I will keep using these for the majority of my working day as the will still plug into my work laptop. Well done Sony, perfect product in anyway but please, please create a lightning jack pair.

I've bought this product on 8 November 2018, so i think i can now write a review about this product. I will do PROS and CONS of this product. Pros: -The sound is great especially for Hip Hop music, Trap music, Pop music, R&B and similar genres. The bass does a great job for you to really feel the beat and get you hyped especially if you are in the gym. -You can change the sound settings for these headphones which is an amazing feature to have as i could set them to sound perfect to the genres of music i listen to, hence it made me enjoy using these headphones even more. -The cable is just long enough for you to do your daily activities and use the headphones. -This product gives an amazing sound when at max volume too, as the music you are listen to does not deteriorate as you put the volume higher which is great as some headphones i've used in the past some beats would sound significantly worse the louder you set your music for. -Using this product when riding a bike or weight lifting has been great, the headphones don't usually fall out but it does happen when performing these activities. The sound remains great even when there was wind when riding my bike which is really nice. Cons: -Running with these headphones is not a pleasant thing, as i found myself always touching my headphones and pushing them back in so they don't fall out, also once you start sweating heavy the sweat gets into your ears even with these headphones which forces me to stop and wipe them as they will fall out more often once this happens. -As you can see in the pictures, the product looks scratched around the edges and this happened to me right away when i bought this product. After a couple of days then weeks they became visibly "scratched" or like as if the product started "deteriorating" around the edges which was very disappointing, but at the same time it was kind of whatever as i kept them in my ears so i don't look at them anyway. -Just this month the plug is not sturdy anymore, i checked with out headphones and everything is fine. This is very annoying as when i use my headphones now they just unplug from my phone very easily and i keep having to plug it back in. A little turn on the bench or my elbow slightly moving the wire could result in the headphones getting unplugged which is not nice. -Since i've bought this product i was disappointed with the amount of physical features this product had. There's no volume control and you spend £20 on headphones which is absurd from Sony to be honest, i've had more features with my old £5 headphones. This product needs a volume up and down button as i keep have to take my phone out and put volume up or down which is not the best if you are riding your bike, running, or doing any activity. -There should of been a little clip so you can clip the headphones to your shirt, so when you are running there's a smaller chance of the headphones falling off. -The noise cancellation is good for headphones, however i use also my over ear headphones and they are not even close to the noise cancellation they provide. Overall, i still love this product due to its amazing sound it provides which takes over the cons that i have said. The product came in a very nice packaging and different ear buds sizes which are very comfortable and do a good job in noise cancellation for headphones.

Ürünü pazar akşamı 10 gibi sipariş etmeme rağmen pazartesi sabah 11 de teslim aldım. Hızlı kargo seçmeme me rağmen gerçekten çok hızlı bir şekilde elime ulaştı. Kulaklığa gelirsek bu fiyat aralığında alınabilecek en iyi kulaklık diyebilirim özellikle bas sevenlere akustik müziklerde de performası gayet yerinde kendinize göre ayarlarsanız daha öncede kullanmıştım bu kulaklığı 2 yıl kadar hor kullanmama rağmen baya dayandı ürün gayet dayanıklı ve ses kaliteside iyi sennheiserin muadilleri çok pahalı buna oranla jblin muadilleride çok kalitesiz kullanım süresi bakımından

More bass than average, but still balanced. Quality is OK. Takes time getting used to silicone ear plugs if you have used rubber before. Hard to get the tight fit, falls out when moving.

Habe diese Kopfhörer für den Anschluss an mein Sony Z5 gekauft, um die beim Handy beiliegenden zu ersetzen. Bin jetzt schon seit Jahren von der Haltbarkeit und dem Sound der Sony In Ear überzeugt, nur die In-Ear die sie den Smartphones beilegen sind für mich und meinen Musikgeschmack immer ein totalausfall. Diese hier haben meine Erwartungen wieder voll erfüllt. Positiv: +Passform für meine Ohren lagen die passenden Stöpsel bei +Kabellänge ist Ordentlich lang kann das Handy auch in der Gesäßtasche verstauen und das Kabel würde sogar noch weiterunter reichen. +Kabelstabilität: habe sie jetzt „schon“ seit Mai für Sport und sonstiges im Gebrauch, und bin nicht der vorsichtigste Mensch im Umgang mit Gebrauchsgegenständen, aber bisher ist dem Kabel nichts anzusehen oder anzumerken. +Klang ok extrem Subjektiv aber für mein Empfinden Ordentlicher Bass und die Hohen Töne kommen auch nicht zu kurz. +Mikrophon& Fernbedienung habe die Kopfhörer jetzt schon ein paar Mal beim Fahrradfahren zur Annahme von Telefongesprächen eingesetzt, ok die Gespräche waren nicht lange meisten nur „Hallo fahre grad Fahrrad melde mich später“ wurde aber immer einwandfrei verstanden. + für mich sehr angenehm finde ich das man an einer kleinen Erhöhung am linken Kopfhörer erkennen kann welchen man grade in der Hand hat. So kann man sie auch im Dunkeln gut einsetzten. Neutral: Die Farbe der Hintern runden Abdeckung löst / schabt sich ab. Da ich sie aber für den Sport einsetzte und Schweiß für Lackierungen die wie Chrom / Aluminium aussehen sollen auf die Dauer immer schädlich ist war dies für mich zu erwarten. Die Kabelfernbedienung steuert bei meinem Smartphone leider nur zuverlässig den vorinstallierten Music Player. Ob dies einfach daran liegt, dass ich ein Sony Smartphone benutzte oder der Originale Music Player einfach Vorrang vor meinem meist genutzten Player in meinem Fall Amazon bekommt weis ich nicht. Da es da zu viele Einflussmöglichkeiten gibt kann ich das nicht dem Kopfhörer ankreiden. Negativ: Noch keine Negativen Punkte gefunden.

Liked the music quality. Let's see how long it will last. Also, a bit pricier than others.

Beni basslardan önce hi res bir kulaklık kullanıyormuş gibi müzikteki hiç bir sesi kaçırmaması ve bozmaması etkiledi, çıkış yılı ve kablolu kulak içi bir kulaklık olduğunu baz alırsak harika bir performans. Bass konusunda ilk kullanırken tok vuruşlar yaparken 1 2 saat içinde güm güm vurmaya başladı, ses seviyesi de feci güzel daha fazlasını istermiyim zannetmiyorum. Tek laf edebiliceğim yanı malzeme kalitesi olabilir oda bu kadar başarılı bir müzik deneyimine karşı kafaya takılacak bir şey mi tartışılır. Buraya yolunuz düştü ama aklınıza kurcalayan bir durum varsa sesi ile alakalı hiç düşünmeden alın ama unutmayın bu bir kablolu stereo kulaklık sesi alacağı kaynak ne kadar güçlü olursa o da o kadar sizi memnun edecektir. JBL Harman tune 210 dan buna geçtim aynı kaynaklardan yaptığım testler sonucunda her alanda tavsiyem bu olur, edifier neo buds pro gibi bir teknoloji harikası ilede karşılaştırma yapma gafletinde bulunduğumu ve ses yüksekliği ile bass konusunda Sony nin önde olduğunu belirtmek isterim.
