My new sound reference in In-Ears

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

Customer Review

The in-ears I ("like new" condition) purchased through the Amazon Marketplace more than favorable. The description was 100% correct. Only the packaging was probably once open, but was closed again properly. So before purely monetary: superdeal ;-)

The build quality is top (only 500 Euro there is metal casing * grin *), accessories (leather bag) the price range reasonable. Only the sufficiently long cable could be a little more stable (like the B & W C5). But at pfleglichem handling should not happen here. The (not replaceable) the cables are securely attached, I can get over (I previously had not and I miss that too not).

Businesses will be primarily on the HRT MicroStreamer (see my Rezi there) around on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to hear music (MP3 320 Kb / s and FLAC 16-bit / 44100 Hz). I can the STD silicone cushions (M) use to have no problems of any kind.

So far I have with the Denon AH-C751 and Bowers & Wilkins C5 mobile music belongs (Cowon J3 or directly from SGN2). Home is stationary a Beyerdynamic DT990 Edition 2005 in use. This has been four weeks now a big brother: Ultrasone Signature Pro (Indian Summer Sale goodness). Is fired over a Marantz UD7007 / AV8801 / MM8077 (without KHV).

Compared to the previous excellent in-ears the Sony play very airy / open, yet forcefully (as long as the source, it will bear). They are enormous level fixed (as says the audiologist) and embezzled no detail. Provided good shots creates the in-ear a class space that is unparalleled in this price range. Here I use generally not sound settings, but hear "flat" or "Pure Direct".

Cable noise so far I could not find. Environmental sounds are no longer hear from medium volume.

Whether there again to experience an increase in in-ears? Well again only one class higher: from 650 euros to eg a Ultrasone IQ or Sennheiser IE800 be the measure of things.. But this one comes already in the region for a very good price on-ear headphones that but then again top these in-ears.
