Delve into a divine audio experience with these premium XBA-2 Balanced Armature in-ear headphones. Meticulously pre-tuned by Sony engineers, these newly developed driver units work in concert to bring you remarkably balanced high to low frequency response and a full range of rich, sensational sound. With an added woofer for enhanced bass response, get deep, penetrating lows that rumble with intensity—a specially crafted magnesium housing keeps unwanted vibrations at bay.

Double Layer Housing

A special, high strength magnesium inner housing provides necessary rigidity for smooth frequency response, while an ABS outer housing suppresses vibrations for clear mid-high range sound reproduction.

Secure Fit

Hybrid silicone earbuds, in 4 sizes, allow for a tailored fit that further maximizes overall sound quality and comfort.

Sound Story

Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers reproduce a smooth, broad, and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. Sony® Balanced Armature drivers can even be tuned for higher or lower frequency response, as well as combined to emphasize certain sound characteristics.

Wearing Comfort

The ultra-compact design of a Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows for a natural in-ear fit which translates to better, long-term comfort.

Noise Attenuation

Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide an outstanding fit, but also utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.

Balanced Armature Driver

Newly developed micro-size driver units (full-range + woofer) reproduce smooth and clear vocals and rich, powerful bass. Get reacquainted with your favorite music.

Noise Blocking Design

Sony® XBA-Series Earbuds provide a comfortable fit that also results in significantly lower sound leakage levels both in or out, allowing you uninterrupted access to your music.

Carrying Case

A carrying case is included to keep your headphones protected while traveling.

Fun while it lasted

Pros: Great frequency response,

Cons: High THD, very heavy, 3.5mm head phone jack

Better than the XBA3s that I returned, but not the same quality as a pair of image S4A (android). I've used this head phones for 3 months before giving it to my cousins. They aren't the world's best at this price point, but look very cool. The headphones tend to tangle alot and can garner distortion if you don't loop them around your ears.
