Sony XBA4 gschlossener High End In-Ear Headphones (Electronics)

Customer Review

This is now already the second headset from Sony's XBA series I own and have tested their paces. As with the XBA3 I am unfortunately again a bit disappointed by the quality. My impressions in key points summarized:

+ Very stylish package, what makes her
+ High quality case for the transport
+ Relatively long cable
+ Design of the cable, so that put a portion around the neck you have to, tell me personally always more, that way you can not lose so quickly headphones
+ Many different attachments as likely to be something for every ear

o the design I find a bit strange, the headphones are very clunky and thick wear on
o the attenuation of ambient noise also works with the appropriate essays not as I expected (still enough outside noise perceptible even talks)
o the sound makes a mixed impression in classical I was blown away, just at EBM or the like, in metal / rock, however, anything but pleased, because the sound is very tinny and brings the force of sounds nowhere near as good over as can other headphones

- The processing of the cable does not seem to me to be very stable, I fear cable break with frequent use

Total me this high-end headphones have left with very mixed feelings, considering especially the price segment, in which it is located. The sound is not suitable for all musical genres far and who is buying a headset in order to look stylish, you should definitely look also for something else. For my taste, is the model XBA4 from the quality not the way I would expect in this class, but it also made me not disappointed across the board, especially classical pieces are real a stunner!
