Sony MDR-XB50AP Extra Bass HEADPHONES

 

The Sony MDR-XB50AP Extra Bass are average mixed usage in-ears with an emphasis on bass. They're portable, stable and block an above-average amount of noise which makes them a decent choice for commuting. Unfortunately, they aren't the most...

Above-average build quality. ; Minimal leakage.

Mediocre-at-best control scheme. ; Bass-heavy sound, not for everyone.

Works great

 

They work really well! It came with 3 separate gel sizes to accommodate earhole size and they sound amazing :) definitely worth the cost. I've only had them about a week and a half so I can't comment on if they last. Hopefully they do. Other than that...

Average - Just

 

This is my second pair of Sony Ear Buds. The other pair is so old I don't even know what the model is! I am trying to hold the ear pieces together because they actually fit my ears, these only sort of fit. As far as the Extra Bass goes, I don't see any...
