Now to the sound:
I had previously a cheaper headphones from Philips, with which I was really happy for everyday life. But now, after testing of this one, it blew me away how much richer is the sound. To me it sounds broadly balanced. One has found a good balance.
It is more invested in the center, is to say, not too light and not too clear.
Compared with Beats headphones, the difference could be heard immediately. The Sony is here the first feeling dull and not so pure, but in the long run perhaps balanced UMD thus relaxed for the ears.
In conclusion I can say that the Sony headphones I can only recommend, as easy listening is for me in the foreground. And easy listening is hereby really guaranteed. In every sense.
