Стоит цена
Очень много баса, а другая не исчезает и поддерживать каждого звука в наиболее идеальный за исключением баса, но его очень весело и шумоподавления хорош на 2к цене, и я должен сказать, что лучшие наушники для EDM и такие песни по 2К

Звук отличный
Звук отличный, но при использовании в течение приблизительно часа или так долго уши начинают болеть из-за громоздкий наушник

I am a 15 year old who listens to a lot of Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Rap, House, Electronica etc. Most of the songs I listen to are full of bass, and most headphones don't do them any justice, they sound thin. I started browsing Amazon for new headphones, found these. Thought I might give them a try as they have drivers that are about twice the size of ordinary headphones. I wasn't expecting much with these as I had owned the JVC HA-FX1X, I loved those, amazing bass, clear highs and mids, and just loved the industrial look. My JVC's got stolen, hence I bought these. As I stated before, I wasn't really expecting much with these. Yes, they have huge drivers and have "bass" in the name but I wasn't expecting them to be as good as my JVC's.
Before getting to the actual sound quality and bass, lets talk about what comes in the box.
1. A lot of replacement ear tips. I mean a lot. Normally, you would expect three sizes, Small, Medium and Large. There come with five. Five. Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Not only that but they come with 2 sets of each so if you end up losing one, you have another set to replace them with. Each size also has a color on the inside so you don't mix them up. Genius, why can't other manufacturers do this?
2. Carry case. It isn't the best carrying case around. It feels cheap and probably won't last me too long. On the plus side, it is soft, so it might help "protect" your headphones.
3. Clip. It comes with a clip that is in the carry case. It's a detachable one (phew). It is a nice clip though, has a smart mechanism that doesn't open too easily, so it won't fall off your shirt.
Build quality was again something I loved in my JVC's. The cable in those were thick, the plastics were extremely durable and the rubber protector at the back was also very sturdy. The JVC's felt rugged. I wouldn't mind dropping them or throwing them around as I was confident that they wouldn't break. These, however, aren't the same. Yes, the cables are also thick, though they are flat to remain tangle free. And yes, they are also made of plastic, but they don't feel as strong as the JVC's. The build quality on these headphones are about average. Maybe I just think this because they are new and don't want to damage them but I knew from day one the my JVC's that they wouldn't break.
Lets get to the sound quality. As I have stated numerous times that I wasn't expecting much, to my amazement, I was wrong! These sound amazing. Plain amazing. The bass is oh so good, the highs and mids are sharp, crisp and clear. But, this was with fiddling a little with the equalizer on my Note 3. If you just plug them into, say, your Nexus 5, yes, they will sound good, but, the bass won't be too much better than any other headphones. But, after fiddling with the equalizer for nearly 45 mins, it was well worth it. The bass is boomy! (In a good way)
One thing I love about my Note 3 is Samsung Adapt Sound. It plays small beeps, asking you to press "Yes" or "No" if you can or cannot hear the beeps. It basically tunes the sound of the phone specifically for your headphones. It works like a charm. These headphones sound even better than with the equalizer and you can always re-tune Adapt Sound and the equalizer if the it doesn't sound right.
One thing I hate about headphones is sound leakage. This was a big issue on my Apple EarPods (which were also stolen along with the JVC's). Even on low volume, the EarPods leaked too much sound, which was simply unacceptable. I was surprised by these again. No sound leakage. I was expecting at least a little, but none. Even on high volumes, it was barely noticeable in a quiet room.
To wrap up this review, I say go for it. Amazing sound for an amazing price, cant go wrong with these.
Pros:
1. Amazing Bass! (Not without an equalizer though)
2. Crisp and clear Highs and Mids.
3. Tangle free wires, and yes, they actually do work.
4. Comes with a (cheapy) carry case.
5. Comes with 5 different sized earbuds and 2 sets of each. Technically, 10 pairs of earbuds.
Cons:
1. Needs some tuning.
2. Carry case is cheap feeling.

I must correct an obvious typo. NO HEADPHONE or loud speaker on the good green Earth is capable of reproducing 1 Hertz (1 cycle per second). Bass below about 60 Hz is felt by the human body more than heard. This bass has little direction (why sub woofer placement is not often critical). 1 Hertz below is what we engineers call DC voltage (i.e. DC voltage)! DC or anything near DC will blow your speakers and headphones fairly quickly.
The lowest reproducible bass usually comes from kick drums or the low pedal note on Hammond B-3 organs (32 Hz) and classic church pipe organs (24 -30 Hz). Usable music information this low in frequency requires great power and is felt more than heard. In better headphones, sub bass is approximated by amplifying the response below 100 Hz (cycles) greatly. E.g. the Sony MDR EX500 is raising the response curve below about 150 Hz about 4db at 150 Hz and about 8 db at 50 Hz. A kick drum pushes air at about 30 hz to 60 hz, depending up the tuning of the drum and the microphone and mixing.
If you want to hear low sub bass, listen to the re-mixed 2000 recording of the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" in the first half of the track. This extends to about 40 hz.
That headphones can seem to reveal such frequencies is really just a simple trick of over amplification. This requires extremely efficient headphones. If you are listening from an ipod alone, make sure the dbM response is over 105 db/milliwatt at 1000 Hertzs. This is the standard measurement for most high grade headphones. Remember that impedance of headphones is listed as "Nominal". I.e. The impedance measurement is generally taken At 1000 Hertz (the current draw proportional to voltage yields milliwatts via Ohm's law). This means that a "16 Ohm headphone" (16 Ohms at 1000Hertz) will drop down as the frequency lowers and demand more current from the amplifier. E.g., at 50 Hz, impedance for a "16 Ohm" headphone is often about 2 -4 Ohms.
The iPod was never power with sufficient current. This is why bass has been such a problem and why Apple does not have a variable EQ control on the ipod -the settings are all presets. Worse, the distortion level rises fantastically if these settings are used. Some modern highly digitally normalised albums distort heavily if these EQ settings are used. E.G. Madeleine Peyroux's album "Careless Love". There is simply too much RMS energy for the poor iPod to sufficiently supply it's op-amps.
Apple could correct all this with a slightly larger battery. This would cost an extra 5 or 19 dollars, hence companies like FiiO make great products that impedance match and supply as much as 350 milliwatts to your headphones, The FiiO E17K is particularly amazing.
Soon class D amps (digital switching amps) will solve this problem with great efficiency and MLCCs (Multi Layered Ceramic Capacitors) made into batteries will go a giant step further. The Ceramic part is silicon nitride -cheap, harmless to the environment and SMALL! There is now a rechargeable battery the size of half a USB stuck that will re-power 7 iPhones with a single charge.
This technology has been available for several years, but they need to sell what is currently on the assembly lines.
As soon as the FiiO X5 has improved firmware to handle the meta data of MP4s (m4a) files, l will throw my iPod into the rubbish can where it belongs.

Admittedly, I should have done more research before investing in >$30 headphones. I think, personally, I would rate them as "okay" or 3/5 stars, but because of my own failure to properly research, I'll bump these up to the 4/5 range.
Before these I had the Sony MDR-EX210B in-ear headphones. I thought they were absolutely great for me--a non-audiophile person that just likes listening to music on long walks to and between classes. I was about to repurchase the same pair, when I came upon the better idea of trying something new. I saw these, GOLD and black headphones and was intrigued. I read a ton of reviews here talking about how great these are: the bass sounds so good! everything sounds so good! And of course, I decided to spend the extra $20 or so for these. I'm a complete and total sucker for black and gold things. These arrived a couple days later (gotta love Amazon Prime), and I was so excited to try them out. They are the most expensive in-ear headphones I've bought, and I was hoping for great things.
Here's where my research failed me:
Although I am a complete sucker for black and gold, I'm actually not too insanely crazy about bass. I was kind of curious because so many people said these had the best bass for this price range. But, I initially found the bass on these to be way too strong--I didn't feel like I heard my trebles well enough (with more pop kind of music). These are definitely good with EDM, but I listen to other music that doesn't need extra bass, really. Through these headphones, I have discovered that extra bass is not what I need through headphones. If I need bass, I'll use my music player's settings.
Recently, I think I've become accustomed to the sound these headphones make, no matter what I'm listening to, and I am now content. However, my previous, lower-tier Sony headphones would serve my purposes just as well. Just to make sure, I am not criticizing the quality of the bass, but rather just remarking on my personal taste here. I do feel like the bass on these does sound good, but it's too much for me. I need more mids and his to really love headphones, I guess. After getting used to the sound (it took a couple of weeks), I can listen to anything with these. However, I just hope to buy a new pair of more well-rounded in-ear headphones, next time I need to buy some in-ear headphones (or have the disposable budget to afford some).
Despite these criticisms, I really do like a lot of things about these headphones. They're definitely good quality and worth the purchase for certain people, but definitely not everyone. I'll try not to make this too long so I think I'll just list my pros here:
>> Comes with 4 standard earbuds, and 3 noise canceling earbuds to suit a lot of different ear shapes
>> The noise canceling earbuds REALLY WORK. I was so surprised that just some extra padding makes such a difference. When properly in my ear, I really don't hear much else besides my music--which means I'm not blasting my music--which means I might be avoiding damage. Really appreciate the noise canceling earbuds.
>> The cord feels very sturdy. I love how strong the casing of the cord is.
>> GOLD AND BLACK. I really can't get over it. I love the look, even if the bulky part sticks out of the ear a bit, I ain't complaining.
EDIT: Putting these to a long test of comfort and sound, and I have discovered that they aren't too uncomfortable at all. I think the earbud that fits my ear best is just a tiny smidge larger than I would like, but I won't complain too much about it. Also, listening to more EDM right now, and these headphones sound GREAT. Bass is really great. I just don't listen to EDM all the time...

Background
Before purchasing this product had the precursor the Sony EX-310SL which I really have to say changed my whole definition of music. I picked up verses in songs I never heard before, the clarity and bass was incomparable to the cheaper 20$ models and Iphone/Ipod models. In comparison to BeatsbyDre I found it exceeded the Solo, and was on par with some of the other models except in areas of noise isolation. Sadly though despite being the best headphones I ever had the buds died on me after 6 months, one and then the other and while I returned it to be fixed it broke again so left it as a dud. Seeing this new model and my previous experience I figured why not purchase.
First Impression- I thought they looked a lot better than in the pictures because I wasnt a fan for the color to begin with as it resembled bright gold door knobs popping out of your ears. There is a two tone as difference as only the back tips are bright metallic gold and the rest which would be mostly tucked inside your ear lobe is of a duller plastic.
Build Quality- Ive had this product for about a month and a half and I have to say they are quite solid. I have a very bad track record when it comes to earbuds and how I treat them with most usually lasting no more than a month but these have held strong so far. Despite some two dozen drops, aside from a few scratches (no dents) and no change in sound quality.
The flat cord design I have to admit negates tangling to a great degree, you can leave them in your pocket, take a run or jog and it shouldnt take more than 5 seconds to unreel. Aside from the tangling situation they really serve no other purpose but they are very sturdy and doesnt look like they will bend, break, or tear any time in the near future.
Sound- Well if this is what you've been waiting for, wait no longer. Sound quality I have to say is pretty much the same as the EX310s mentioned in the "Background". Aside from that though not much has changed although and I really wished they could of upgraded it and kept the same price rather than give the same quality at a bargain. You will notice above average bass and if your phone has the capabilities you can put the equalizer to extra bass to get the best out of these earbuds. You will notice for the price though that these headphones outclass the competitors in clarity, and depth. Coming from lower end buds you will really appreciate the difference in quality as its hard to really put it into words until you listen to your normal tracks over again it will seem like your hearing them for the first time.
Cons- Aside from everything else stated one gripe that I can say really stands out for me is that there are no volume or music controls on this device which in this day and age should be standard for any portable sound device in this price range. Having an Iphone it really feels like I didnt go anywhere in quality upgrading from the standard Iphone earbuds to these as the tradeoff was better music quality over convenience. Having to reach into my pocket to change volume or switch to another tune gets really annoying once youve grown accustomed to the ease of the quick change concept.
Conclusion- All in all these are great earbuds for the price and I have to vouch on their durability and quality compared to other earbuds in the same price category. They will definitely be one of the best in their class but you may not like the absent volume control that is growing standard among the industry. You will like them, you may not love them but a great price and bargain for the average everyday music listener.

Well, it's been a little over two years and it's wide range of highs and lows are notable pillars amongst the reliability these headphones have been through. They certainly pack a soothing but powerful punch, nothing too extreme to cause distortion at high volumes ( you won't need to raise the audio but in case you do) and exceptionally comfortable despite the unfamiliar appearance. These aren't designed for use during exercise but I've had the chance to bring them along on the treadmill and there's only a need to slightly readjust them every so often. Their nice to look at and are well built, it's unfortunate they're not being produced anymore but still feel as if I need to give credit to something that's been slightly uncared for, ( most of my experience with in-ear headphones haven't last 7 months) but wow, I'm impressed. The only, and I mean ONLY issue I've had with them is having the piece of rubber centered opposite of the golden side fall off, but only because I haven't been as fair with them (I slept over them and found the piece missing one morning) . Take care of them, and you might be surprised at how long they go, fortunately mine are still going strong. (Fist Pump)

These headphones have been my go to headphones for the past few years when it comes to comfort. Yes the bass is more noticeable and has more punch on these, but it's not a high quality bass. It's not the deep resonating type bass. But for the price, I highly recommend these. They are extremely durable, got them soaked in protein milkshake the other day and rinsed them off with a wet towel and good to go. They are definitely not flimsy. This week I've been trying out different bluetooth earbuds just to have more free range of motion when exercising and not worrying about the cord, but every single pair I try is so uncomortable that I just can't afford to waste around $130-200 on a set of wireless headphones.
I keep thinking to myself, why can't they just try and mimic the design of the Sony MDRXB60EX, because they're probably the most comfortable in ear headphones I've ever worn. 6.5/10 for sound, but 10/10 for comfort and durability.

I am writing this review so that everyone can benefit from the research and experience that I have done in terms of headphone purchasing. I have owned quite a few pairs of headphones, ranging from Over-Ear (Monster Diamond Tears, Sol Republic Tracks HD/Master Tracks, Monster DNA) to In-Ear (Sol Republic Amps HD, Bose IE2, Klipsch S4A). I spent about 3 hours researching this purchase before I pulled the trigger, and I am definitely glad that I chose these! I am currently using them with a HTC One (Beats is enabled currently) during the burn-in phase, and even though I have not turned my phone over 60% yet, these sound great! The bass does sound tight and not overpowering, which is nice. The reason I picked these up is because I needed something that would not allow a ton of noise leakage, and once you put in the noise-isolating tips (they will be the ones with the foam on the inner portion of the bud) NO noise will be getting out.
Pros:
* The price: I mean for a little under $40 you will be getting a great pair of ear buds. If you can afford the XBR90 version with the 16mm drivers, I would go for it, but since they are imported from Japan, I would be hesitant to order due to warranty concerns.
* The sound: It's great. Tight, deep bass without shrill highs (I listen to everything from classical/opera to dubstep, so not having headache-inducing highs is nice). The sound stage is great as well, with a wide stage that includes a full range of sound; if you are listening to something that has been produced with care, you will definitely be able to tell.
* The bass is the highlight of the show here; any ear bud can produce good highs, but it takes a special performed to get deep lows without straining or getting muddy. Having said that, it's not overpowering at all, and you will not be getting a headache from listening to bass-heavy tracks (I'm looking at you Tracks HD/Master Tracks).
* Comfort. Have had these in my ear for a while now (3+ hours), and I forgot they were there!
Cons:
* No Mic/Inline controls. I'm used to this since there aren't many available for Android phones, but it would be nice to have a pause button.
* I wish that the highs were more pronounced out of the box, but that is something that is easily compensated for with the right EQ settings.
* Looks. The gold finish looks great, but it would be nice to have some other options such as aluminum or perhaps a color. Not a big deal at all honestly.
Trust me, for this price, if you are thinking of an in-ear headphone, go for this purchase. You will not be disappointed at all!

These are hands-down the best in-ear headphones I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. The bass is AMAZING. They play so low it's astounding, it honestly sounds like there are a pair of 15" subwoofers behind you, it is that loud and deep. The sound quality aside from the bass is actually really good as well, the highs are crisp and clear but not harsh or overpowering, akin to silk dome tweeters. The midrange is smooth and powerful, mostly akin to a good paper cone 6.5" midrange speaker. These can get really loud with no distortion, in-fact, I'm using a Fiio amplifier, and even with the amplifier at max and the iPhone at max, they still do not distort.
You will not be disappointed if you are a bass-head like myself and want an excellent pair of in-ear headphones. Rap, Dubstep, Hard Rock/Metal, it all sounds fantastic.
I only wish I had found these earlier in my life.

I am writing this review not as a Bass addict, but as someone who appreciates GOOD bass, and who wants a dynamic sound.
My personal preference for sound is a slightly dark treble, forward mids, present vocals, a low end that is not boomy, and a punchy, musical mid bass. I guess you could call me a Euphonic-head. I bought these IEMs thinking that they were going to be alright, but much like my XB500 headphones, were going to have drowned out vocals and mids. Well I was sure in for a surprise, because I was wrong on both accounts.
The XB60EX's to me sound like an IEM pair of Audio-Technica M50s, with more low end (sub bass), less sibilant, darker treble, and more forward vocals. They have those forward mids that I love, like one might expect from AKG, but with also a dark, smooth treble Sennheisers and darker sounding Sonys are known for. What amazes me is that despite the strong mid bass and sub bass (and there is a lot of both), the vocals don't sound congested, muddy, or drowned out. They are surprisingly forward. That makes these excellent earphones for different genres than electronic and hip-hop. For hip-hop, the sub bass has that subterranean rumble, while being fairly musical and quick. For more mid-bass oriented genres like house, drum n'bass, trance and jazz-pop, the XB60's have a very punchy mid bass that stays rhythmic and quick like it's supposed to. Not slow, buzzy and vibrating. The XB60 manages to not be overly heavy in either sub bass or mid bass, and I love that. It makes them very dynamic earphones.
As for comfort, these aren't the most comfortable IEMs on Earth, but after wearing them a few days, comfort won't be an issue. They stick out of the ears a bit, but I haven't found it to be much of an issue so far. Build quality is great. They are all plastic, but feel high quality, though the flat cable isn't as tangle-free as Sony might claim it is. They comes with a variety of ear-tips, including foam-filled noise isolating eartips, which makes the XB60 a good option if you ride the bus and train a lot like I do. You will hear some background noise, but it will be muffled decently enough, and with your music on, you won't even pay attention to ambient sounds. The jack is 90 degrees, and fits through my iPhone 4 case no problem and doesn't get in the way when I put my phone in my pocket.
The only thing I would have liked was control talk controls and mic for iOS and Android phones, but that is me nit picking.
Highly recommended. Don't waste your money on 100 dollar iBeats. Get these. They sound MUCH better, and cost a third of the price. Take care of them, and they just might be the last on-the-go earphones you will ever buy.

If you can still find these for sale, great buy. Great thump, nice, deep bass. If you're into hip-hop, r&b, pop -- anything with a beat --- you will find these enjoyable. I originally bought monster turbines, but returned them because was dissapointed in the clarity in the mid-range. They sounded muffled. Those were way too expensive to be less than satisfied. These Sony’s are much more enjoyable and reasonably priced

Sound great for the money, had Klipsch before this which are terrible with bass. If you have your bass setting high, these can become overpowering, but having it set right produces great mid level bass that is hard to achieve with other in-ear headphones.

I've bought a LOT of headphones.. from cheap to moderately pricey (read sub $400). These are THE best that I've had. That is counting other styles of headphones, too. I'm still in search of the perfect headphones (will it ever end?), but I think I will always have these. The price is ridiculous... should probably be 2 or 3 times expensive. I'm a bass player, so I love the fact that they are able to produce such pounding lows.. in a way that over ears have yet to impress me. It's like the bass is in my head.. glorious. If that's not what you're in to, you can eq it out. I EQ to the point where the bass is pounding, but everything is clear.. and these perform.

Sound quality is good but the built quality is poor. The side rubber came off easily and I lost one of it without my notice. For the price, not really worth it because of the built quality. The JVC HAFX1X have better built quality, sound is on path with this one and the price is more affordable.

Got these in the mail today, only spending 35 plus shipping.
Good points;
-Came in a nice sturdy box so I wouldnt have to worry about shipping issues, although it arrived promptly(2 day shipping to me was only 11usd), without incident.
-The assortment of ear tips is nice and varied, but I found the ones that came on the earbuds to fit rather well. They're fairly comfortable and actually hold in my ears properly. I usually dont like the style of tips these kind of ear buds come with, I usually prefer the kind of earbud that the whole unit fits into my ear, like the old Phillips Sport earbuds. because they didnt fall out. The carry pouch is a nice touch as well.
-The odd shape of these buds are clearly only to do the music justice, which sounds like a negative, but I prefer function over form, which is also why I'd even get these at all, being funny looking and gold. The reviews swayed me, so the fact I have 'Sony bling' doesnt bother me much, as I normally dont buy anything you could even consider flashy.
-Mids and highs are great for such an affordable pair of earbuds.
-Bass is nice and punchy.
-Pretty consistent in quality throughout a variety of genres, if not a bit biased towards dance/techno/hip hop due to focus on bass.
Bad points;
-While the bass is nice and punchy I feel it's a tad muddy, but with how clear everything else is, I have a feeling after burn in the quality will improve.
-While the audio quality is great across the board, I think rock(more specifically guitars) could be a bit crisper, but as with my previous point ^ after burn in things might get a bit better,
Bear in mind I literally just unpacked these and started listening to these units less than 20 minutes prior to review. If after a good burn in period they get even better, I will update my review. Definitely worth the money. Would recommend. 5 stars in rewriting of the review if they begin sounding even better.

I own many electronics. That being said, I've come to know how to compare quality with spent cost of an item. I've not owned many in-ear headphones mostly because what I chose seems to last a long time. When I do spend the money I do not go for the cheapest, rather I go for mid-range dollar value compared to the quality of the item. The Sony MDRXB60EX/GLD comes with 13.5mm drivers. This is very unusual for in ear headphones at this price. Low end in-ear are 2.5mm too 8.0mm costing up to $35.00. More 'mm', more sound...At first glance these looked to be bulky, heavy and oddly shaped compared to the average look od in-ear headphones. Man, was I wrong.
Quality: As I was unpacking the item I noticed a lot of time was spent by Sony into packaging. The headphones itself are well made. I don't think these will ever break due to usage. The no-tangled wiring is as described. They have a flat wire rather than the normal round wire and is securely fastened to the ear speakers.in such a way they will be hard to separate. The gold plating is nicely done.
Sound: I was looking for an in-ear set that I could here a drummers symbol and the base drum clearly in the background. I wanted Base not so loud that my body would shake like you feel when a car soars by with loud base, but good base you can hear. This item has exactly that. You can clearly hear the vocals and the other instruments in the listening of music.
What you get: In-ear phones, 3 sets of noise cancelling replacement ear buds and 4 sets of regular ear buds. There's a little difference between regular and noise canceling in the replacement ear buds. Ether way, at least I won't have to listen to outside noise when listening to music because both kinds due well in eliminating outside noise. Note: I also ordered the replacement (Silicone) ear buds from Sony just in case I lose one of the size that fits so I won't incur the cost of buying in-ear phones again.
Overall: Good quality, good sound at a reasonable price.
If I hit the lotto then maybe I'll upgrade to the best of the best...LOL.

these are peobably the best headphones I've had in a long time. And I buy a ton of headphones. They look and feel great and the sound is no less then epic. In a side-by-side comparison with Playstation Gold over the ear gaming headphones, these headphones easily have deeper, more textured bass. In fact I prefer them when playing games

This was my 3rd set of earbuds...still searching for the perfect ones. For bass lovers, they are great. Keep in mind that the rubber tips need to seal in your ear to get the ultimate bass. If there's a gap, there will be a reduction. They seal out exterior noise very well and works great when flying. I travel a lot for work and this set lets you just enjoy music on the plane. Great SPL (basically how much it converts to volume...the higher the better, the less you have to turn it up). However, they lack the mids and highs in my opinion. Now I may be a little over critical as my expectations may be a bit high since I compare it to my old set of high end Sennheiser closed ear headphones that I used to use when I was a mobile DJ which hit all frequencies and used to listening to music on Martin Logans. I purchased these Sony's because the frequencies was rated from 4-25K. Now, anything over 20K is probably not truly achievable unless your unit producing the sound is capable. In other words, the recording needs to be in high def as well as your unit being able to transmit in high def to get that extra 5K. I may never find that perfect set as I imagine it to be impossible to get low bass, solid mids and crisp highs out of an earbud but I'm still searching. You may see a variety of opinions which depends on what they've experienced. I compare it to traveling or food. If you've stayed in suites at the W, Hiltons and JW's of the world, that's what you'd expect to rate "Great" or it's like the sushi trend..until you've had "Great" sushi at a high end restaurant like Sushi Roku or been to restaurants in Japan served by master sushi chefs, you wouldn't know how much greater it can be till you tried it.
My other ones were Skull Candy Titans...these had good bass and were actually a tad better on the mids and highs than these Sony's however, they were not insulated very well where you can hear any movement or rustling of the cord. I ended up giving those to my son. My third set is a Bose MIE2i...great mids, great comfort...a bit low on the SPL. Lacking bass and highs. It's just too bad earbuds can't be tested out prior to purchasing.
In conclusion...if you want bass, this set won't let you down. You can probably compare them to Beats or any of the closed ear novelty styles (again, all of those lack in mids and highs). If you're into jazz, or a genre that's more instrumental...you may not be happy with these unless you want to hear the other type of bass, as in strings. Hope that helps.

These headphones were selected for daily commuting duties and have held up to 9 months of use before noticing that wear and tear has taken its toll. The edges show where the gold paint has faded, the earbuds continually slide off after only a few days of cleaning with warm water / mild soap with a alcohol wipe on the headphones themselves. The number one problem with this earphone is the side that is always hidden from any and all photos, the side which rests upon your head is made of rubber. The rubber had started to become unseated on the earbud and has eventually come off. It appears to be glued on and there was no real means of reattaching and the piece obviously has affected the resonance of that particular earbud. For now i am used scotch tape to protect the internals but it looks pretty awful. After 9 months of faithful yet deteriorating use, i have to say i cannot recommend this headphone on the sheer basis of durability. I have other earphones that run in excess of $500 and make efforts to care for my gadgets and equipment. Pros, 13.5mm driver (more bass inclined with sufficient treble for commuting purposes), Cons: Durability. I wish i could provide a more positive review but true photos on the product showing the rubber side of the earphone would have been a more honest presentation of the product.

Nice in-ear headphones. Provide nice balanced sound with an emphasis on bass. The hybrid earbuds provide a great seal for an awesome listening experience. I loved my MDR-XB90EX so much, which have clearer sound & more bass, that I ended up ordering these to use at work. I never thought so much bass can come from an in-ear headphones. These are constructed of aluminum, where's the slightly cheaper MDR-XB30EX's are polymer(plastic). I think Sony made a mistake by not selling these in United States, there are plenty bass-heads here that would appreciate the bass of this product line. Huge thanks to all the legit Japaneses sellers that decided to import these to USA.
