Sony Extra Bass Wired In Ear Earphones-Mdrxb55Ap

Build Quality is Cheap and Terrible. When I first received this it didn’t come with a carry pouch or case which is downer but what really disappointed me was it had already had signs like it was put together terribly and 2 months later pieces of it falling apart which is horrible…I really don’t recommend buying these specific earbuds.

Great Device!!!! I brought theseheadphones as a treat to myself, when it comes to Sony products I am a bit biased in terms of i have always trusted this brand. Well needless to say i was not dissappointed when purchasing this product, OMG my only regret is not purchasing this earlier… Job well done Sony…

Excellent for the price. Excellent earbuds, good quality, and really good bass. I use it every day during commute and it is really excellent one considering the price. I have seen more expensive headphones sound really poorly compared to this one. You won’t regret it. My only complaint is that Sony could probably give a small case instead of the pouch bag.

Bad mic and poor build quality of buttons. I bought this sometime ago but hardly used them. They were in the box and I still have untouched all accessories in the box. They never even fell but one day the power button went missing and because it’s too tiny failed to find it. Since then the headphones are useless. Read many reviews now that this model has power button and volume button issue. With many users facing this issue after few months of purchase. I am a loyal Sony customer having its products for decades. From PS1 to PS4 and old dvd based surround system and TVs. Sad to face this issue it was never expected from Sony.

Plus from the very first day it’s mic was useless. Whenever I tried to make a call the other person wasn’t able to hear me.

Superior travel and work headphones. Chose this model while looking for a very discrete, good quality earphones that I could use for traveling. Included in the kit are a nice pouch bag and 4 pairs of silicone earpieces. The 3.5 mm terminal is ‘L’ shaped and thin. The cable is long enough to reach the side pocket of cargo pants comfortably. A slider is provided to adjust the aperture of the ‘Y’. The earphones fit very properly. The Right earphone is identified with a very discrete red dot, but no tactile marks are provided. However, once you remember the control button (the ‘multi-function button’) is on the Left side, this is no longer an issue.

This model delivers superior clarity during phone calls, which is something not properly advertised but that is immensely appreciated, if you like me spend a lot of time on the phone for work and during traveling, and need proper sound cancelling. For calls, the button on the remote controls answering and hanging up with precision, but it can’t control volume (I didn’t try the Smart Key downloadable app).

However, where this model shines is for music playback, where the extra bass features become quickly evident. Using these earphones with the apple music on an android phone, finally allowed me to use the equalizer functions and notice differences between settings that simply were impossible to appreciate with other in ear headphones I had previously tried. The sound is very rich, subtle sounds are reproduced clearly (i.e. the clash of wooden drumsticks), and the bass is just perfect in a way that they don’t choke the higher sounds. Amazing.

Finally, these earphones have something else: They’re really comfortable. They are unnoticeable even after prolonged day long use, making them a perfect choice for long flights and transits, either with your smartphone streaming service, or a Walkman.

I have three of these. Great sound, great mic.I have one to leave in the office, one to carry in my bag, and one for at home. Everyone I speak with using the headset mic says the sound is loud and clear.Great for listening to music as well.I don’t like ear pods – the never stay in and I would lose them.Although having a cord has a few drawbacks, I always know were the ear pieces will be.

Best wired earphone! This is such a powerful earphone. At this price range, it is the best wired earphone I have ever used. I’ll update to see whether it’s durable. Earphone usually don’t last longer than 6 months in my hands. The sound quantity is even better than over $100 earphone I tested. Really extra bass indeed.

Second pair of the same, both died fairly quickly. I love these headphones for the sound quality and the fit in my ear. My ears are so sensitive, and I wear headphones 8-10 hours a day for work. However, the first pair I bought that were black/red lasted like 4-5 months. I thought maybe it was just me and switching back and forth between my desktop and laptop. So I figured I would try them again and just buy a pair to keep with my laptop. Ive had the new pair for like two weeks just with my laptop and theyre already dead smh. For decently priced headphones Im disappointed. I didnt want to have to spend the money on Bose, but I guess I have no choice.

Getting static sound from them after less than a month of use. I decided to buy a higher quality earbud instead of my cheap $5 ones after those croaked. Well, they did sound good, but after less than a month of use, I am already getting static noise from them.Extremely disappointed and will not recommend to others.

Great Earbuds. I have small ears and I really appreciate the XS bud size. Not many earbuds even offer this smallest size. This is my second pair as my first ones got lost in a move. I missed them so much I just had to buy another set.Answering the cellphone on them works great too. You just press the little button and the phone answers the call. People don’t seem to notice any problem with when I talk to them on it.

These things rock. I have worn out two or three pairs of these from constant use. The other four pairs were chewed on by my cat who seems to find them no matter where I hide them.Bass response is truly wonderful if you can get one of the three earbud sizes to match your ear. The depth of Bass seems directly related to how well it is seated in your ear.There seems to be almost a full octave lower that comes through, exposing the listener to the richness of songs I never knew had such a deep bass part.It was apparently redesigned or updated recently. It is just as good if not better. The bass clarity amazes me to this day for something so small.If you are comparing headphones, use the studio version ofGreta Van Fleet’s “Broken Bells.”

Fine at first, 2 months later it’s half broken. At first these were fine, perfect for my needs. 2 Months later, however, the left ear only barely functions. By barely functions, I mean that I have to bend the cable in a weird way to make audio come through. I guess I can duct-tape the bent cable to allow it to continue to function, but this shouldn’t be an issue 2 months in.It appears the cabling is very fragile.I keep this at my desk plugged into my computer, I don’t take them out or stuff them in a backpack. It just sits at my desk. connected to my desktop PC all the time.Pretty disappointed in these.

Excellent gaming earbuds. I cannot believe the difference in sound quality compared to my previous earbuds (although those were under $20). These are comfortable and have outstanding audio for gaming on my X Box, comparable to the $100+ options but half the price. Highly recommend!

Sony needs to improve quality! I have so enjoyed the amazing sound from my Sony wired earbuds, but one side of my first pair lasted 6 months before dying and my second pair lasted a year.Very disappointing.

SO FAR, SO GOOD. I have only had the headphones two days, but sound great. I use these in my old Apple Ipod Classic and my computer.
