Excellent Sound Quality!

I bought this almost a month ago, and I am very happy with its performance so far. The chord is tangle-free, and it has actually lived up to the name. it is great to use with some devices that require plugging in, or that do not have bluetooth. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

Performance is good but quality of product ...

I have been using Sony products for the last 10 years, be it a LED TV, a Camera, a Camcoder, gaming consoles PS2, PS3, PS4 (yes all three) or headphones. I bought two MDR-XB550AP extra bass headphones (Blue and Black) on 22nd Nov,(black Friday sale) this year for my children. The performance is good, we kind of missed volume control however to my surprise the Blue head phone stopped working today. We can only hear from one (LHS) EARPIECE ) and the other RHS earpiece stopped working. I am planning to get in touch with the support team tomorrow.

Excellent headphones!

I'm a person that likes bass, extra quality sounds and comfortable fit. Built for us older and simple minded folks. I highly recommend this product.

Sound Quality is Great. If I Stand Still.

I've had these for 2 days and something is clearly wrong with them. If I move the wire while playing music (stand up, sit down, walk) or something so much as brushes across the base of it, the sound fades and I start to hear static. Phone calls aren't half as bad with the sound but, there's definitely still some static. The padding on the right side is also a little uncomfortable and I can't wear them for very long. When I can hear it, the sound quality for music is actually really good. But, overall, I'm simply just not happy with these headphones.

Great fit and sound

My wife purchased these for me today for music/gaming, the sound is incredible and blows the doors off my older set. Extra bass sounds wonderful!

great sound

Was going to buy some Beats but found the audio for these to be better and much cheaper. They jam and since I'm a bass person they give me the acoustics I desire.
