Consumer review (sony.com)

Fun while it lasted

 

Better than the XBA3s that I returned, but not the same quality as a pair of image S4A (android). I've used this head phones for 3 months before giving it to my cousins. They aren't the world's best at this price point, but look very cool.

Great frequency response

High THD, very heavy, 3.5mm head phone jack
