Sony MDR-XB55AP Premium in-Ear Extra Bass Wired Headphones with Mic (Black)

Great product, Nice sound

I thought and checked a lot of reviews prior to purchasing these earphones.My final list was Sennheiser CX-275. RHA MA 390 and Sony MDR XB55AP which is available on Amazon within Rs 2000.Decide to go with Sony for a few reasons1I heard it earlier as my friend has it and I personally like little more bass as I listen to EDM and Bollywood Remix music2Mic and Build quality as my friend was using it for about a year and they sound the same.Now that did I figured out after my purchasePackaging 5/5Box maintained its shape and I checked it’s authentication from Sony Website.It came with 03 additional was tips, I used the one it came with.One carrying case which is a nice thing. the case is ok nothing to talk much a case is a case.Build 4.5/5It looked solidly build, wire quality is above average but the best as it is not Braided.Sound Overall 7.5 /10Bass- 10/10 very balanced not overpowering but it will remind you that it’s there.Treble-9/10 balanced but I ear piercing could improve when it comes to its presence. To compare it with CX180 you can feel every beat but due to extra bass, it’s not that very prominent.Low- 10/10 You can hear every beat and especially when you want to relax and enjoy your trance or EDM it's PERFECTMID- 6-10Vocals were little low and sounded sometimes muted, I use iPhone X and Apple Music which is AAC format but still in order to enjoy vocals from singers like Arijeet Singh, Celine Dion I has to increase the sound above 50 per cent.Highs-10/10Excellent each beat and vocals can be heard of you wanna keep your volume to 70 to 80 percent. 100 percent it's too overpowering.COMFORT 5/10The fit is fine but I used for continuously for 3 hours that is when I felt little pain even though I used standard Ear-tips as they felt heavy and reminded me that I was wearing something which was not the case when I use Apple earphone or RHA MA 390 U. But you will get used to it in sometime.Noise cancellation and Mic Quality10/10I couldn’t hear anything at a railway station that justifies everything and people did not even felt that I spoke to them from the mic. So is it friendsSo overall 8/10I like bass heavy music so it fine perhaps great base and sound quality.If you wanna more comfort look for Sennheiser CX-275 which just lacks base and build quality is not good like Sony.I personally like the bass of Sony due to the kind of music I listen to, but given a choice, I would prefer little less base over comfort.I use RHA MA 390 more as I don’t feel I am wearing anything and that’s what I want with little base.Sorry Sony, I am really a fanboy but this time comfort with a warm signature of RHA MA 390 won my vote.Enjoy listening.

I use wired headphones as backup and thus used to have cheap ones like mi, audio technica , skullcandy etc..But a month ago i decided to increase my budget and finally go for this baby😆Lets talk about its main points;-Build and design: It feels really premium and its made up of high quality polycarbonate, it also has this shiny disk design which makes it look flashy!Overall rating: 9/10Durability : It has a gold -plated jack and it is also having a tangle free cable so most of the times its very easy to carry around..I use it very AGGRESSIVELY and even with that it still has not shown a lot of rough and tear for the last 1 monthOverall: 9/10Sound Quality:Bass-heads will be more than satisfied, edm songs with their build up will leave a huge smile on your face , it also has clear vocals and very distinct mids and lows , the high not mind-blowing is pretty good for such bass heavy headphones.Almost all genres of music can be played on this earphone and it also provides some passive noise cancellation making it extremely good for the price you are paying for them.Comfort:-These headphones have pretty big drivers and its quite comfy when you are walking and even working out , the only problem is that you can't lie / sleep while wearing them since they stick out and it hurts when you turn from side to side.Overall: 8/10Extras:-Tangle - free cables, bass boosted , iconic design and a very STRONG brand presence is the best thing about these earphones.In this age of wireless earphones this was my backup and it has proved to be very worthy of the price it comes at.So i give this headphone an overall rating of 9/10 and it should be at the top of your wishlist if you are willing to play 2k for wired headphones😍

Wow or Wowwww... !!Ok let's check and find.I'm an AirPod user. But only one drawback of AirPod is to listen EDM or any dance song like K-Pop or other this kind of songs. So I was finding an earphone, I'm here !!First a small review of AirPods so easily you can find the MDR-XB55AP sound quality.AirPods :Sound Clarity :Highs - 9.5/10Mids - 9/10Lows - 8/10Sound Quality :Highs - 9/10Mids - 8.5/10Lows - 7.5/10Sound Loudness :Loudness Overall - 8.5/10Let's go to MDR-XB55AP for sound quality review w.r.t. AirPods 2nd gen.MDR-XB55AP :Sound Clarity :Highs - 8/10Mids - 8.5/10Lows - 9/10Sound Quality :Highs - 8/10Mids - 8/10Lows - 9.5/10Sound Loudness :Loudness Overall - 10/10As above i gave ratings based on the individual format. It's completely depends upon the users.So finally MDR-XB55AP is good earphone for particularly EDM, DJ or any kind of party songs. And most positive thjngs is the LOWs and LOUDNESS of the MDR-XB55AP is on another level. Yeah some time the LOWs clarity issues for some kind of songs but not for all songs. And LOUDNESS is just too mush ... i can't increase my volume at 100%, it always max to max 80% while my AirPods volume, sometime i feel it's very low. MDR-XB55AP 's 12mm driver just nailed it.So if you want to listen only for EDM kind of songs then go for it otherwise no need. If you are finding great clarity of sound then you should choose another one, it's not for you.Some gamers also reviewed this earphone as bad ratings. But i don't think why they chose this earphone and rate it badly. They should have knowledge about sound. Sony clearly mentioned it is only for EDM lovers. Then why so they chose. If they are true gamer then move to Hyperx or Corsair or Logitech kind of brand, they only made accessories for Gamers.Okay anyway... EDM lovers go for it and AirPods user if you particular want to listen EDM song like me then move towards it otherwise backwards 😹.
