Sony MDR-XB300

 

Cheap and comfortable, this Sony headphone pair will blow you away with its booming beats.

Affordable. Extremely deep bass response. Comfortable ear cushions. Lightweight, despite size.

Tinny and nasally highs.

Sony MDR-XB300

 

Go get it if ear pounding bass is what you want

Solid bass response, comfortable to wear, minimal audio leakage

Lack of clarity in mids and highs, dual sided cable design is inconvenient

Great!

 

after my husband snapped 2 head candy headphones, had to find a suitable high quality alternative - and these are the ones. Very comfortable to wear and very good quality sound. At a reasonable price, i hope these last longer than the previous ones!

Dont buy

 

decent quality

i bought these from a target a few years ago, they are a very good cheap pair of headphones but i bought them for less than 50 dollars. At this price of over 130 it is a complete ripoff. For 130 dollars you can get way better headphones

Great headphones for the price

 

I bought these headphones after my skullcandy ones broke. They have the same cons, but these have so much better sound and bass. They cost a lot less than most headphones out there and are prob better than most as well. For $50, this is more than i was...

Great sound and bass, very inexpensive, lightweight

uncomfortable after 30 min or so, leakage

Confortable

 

Very comfortable. Could be a little tighter on the ears, the pads are very soft

Ears get a little warm on hot days after 2-3 hours use

Consumer review (sony.com)

Good quality, bad comfort

 

These headphones have pretty good sound quality and delivered their promise on extra bass, but i feel like these headphones are too centered on the bass and that the vocals and the other instruments are just kind of a background to the music. Also,...

booming bass, good sound

too focused on bass, not comfortable

Great bass, total leakage

 

I often take airline trips that exceed 20 hours (with a stop and layover). I play Drum and Bass music very loud to relax.

Very comfortable for listener for long trips

Not very comfortable for someone sitting next to you

Simply Amazing.

 

Prior to purchase, i was not sure how the MDR-XB300 would hold up, yet i have had these for almost two years and they are still in pristine condition, despite being used daily in all sorts of conditions. The bass is amazing, and the sound in general...
