Review: Long review with TL;DR conclusion at the bottom for a good product - Viewers can skip the first paragraph because it's simply history. Also note that my review is quite biased to those transitioning from in-ears. I've been using in-ear's my whole life. To me the noise-cancelling capabilities of in-ears, comfortability after long periods of use, as well as its price to sound quality(especially in the trebles) were better compared to that of headphones. But my earphones were very worn as I have had them for half a decade and I thought it was time for me to replace them. So I thought I'd try headphones this time. Sony was my go-to audio device brand. I have high regard for their product build quality as my previous earphones, although worn and slowly disintegrating(the rubber parts), is still producing very enjoyable sound - even after 5 years of brutal companionship with me. They're product pricing has also been very good with products catering to those with limited budgets and true-blue, no-compromises, audiophiles. Good job Sony. I don't have a lot of money to spend, so the best for the least is top priority. So my eyes immediately set upon these set of headphones while browsing Sony's headphone line-up. Cheaper than most, looks fantastic, and advertises what I crave in music of genre that I listen to - extra bass. For those also transitioning from in-ears this is what I can objectively state, bass is MUCH bigger on these headphones. The bass is definitely celebrated when listening to music genres like dance, hip-hop, electronic, dubstep, house, and others associated; it was smart of Sony to advertise this product to consumers who listen to these sort of genres in their product website. It is also amazing for gaming which is usually rich in low frequency ambient sound. However, the trebles of some music does get muddied by the high bass. Something that I, of course, noticed from the transition to headphones from earphones. But I somehow learnt to adapt to the reduction in treble volume as the boost in bass and amazing low frequency audio clarity and range are overpowering benefits. Although having mentioned that treble quality is muddied by high bass, these headphones does not in any way have bad treble quality. I only stated it because I was comparing them to in-ears. But being headphones, It also has amazing depth perception and stereo surround sound capabilities. The build is mostly plastic, including the headband. I'm not too worried about the "life expectancy" of this product; I previously mentioned the reason why that is. The headphones also does have an in-line mic and remote which will come in handy in some occasions. Personally I don't use it very often but it's there for anybody who does. I've heard recordings taken with the mic by other reviewers and they sounded pretty good. Overall the build and features are good but the aesthetics are amazing. We'd have the textured speaker housing and the colour options to thank for that. My major concern with the product is long term use. They're on-ears which means they put pressure on your ears when you wear them. After prolonged use they will begin to cause ear soreness. But that can be said with most on-ears thus not going to effect my rating. TL;DR: + Satisfactory sound quality with impressive low frequency audio ranges. + Bass IS extra. + Excellent depth perception and stereo surround capabilities. + Looks as good, if not better than advertised. + Does come with in-line remote and mic for smartphone use. + Well priced. + Trusted Sony build and performance quality, rightfully earned by long time product user. - Are on-ears so don't expect prolonged use to be comfortable
Review: Fantastic for the price! - This is the second pair of these fabulous headphones I have bought after one of our pesky pooches chewed through the cable of the first pair which I purchased from a major high street retailer at a fair bit more cost than through desertcart, imagine my relief when I spotted these which were not only identical but also a lot cheaper! My wife is best described as a casual user of headphones, using them for her FLAC player infrequently and for watching Netflix etc. on her tablet so hardly putting them through their paces nor expecting the ultimate audio experience but she absolutely loves them and upon trying them myself I have to say I am very impressed too, certainly better than generic headphones or earbuds supplied with equipment such as MP3 players and tablets. They are nice and comfortable to wear and of the on ear variety although my wife is lucky in having small ears which almost turns them into full over ear headphones as a bonus! She could easily wear them for a few hours without discomfort and they are nice and light on the head. The audio quality is excellent for the price, a little bass heavy but they are supposed to be being in Sony's 'Xtra bass' category but they are not overwhelmingly so which will also suit those not seeking a pumping bass. I know that sound quality and experience is a personal thing so the opinions of others should be taken with a pinch of salt but I own a more superior headphone than this and stand by my verdict of excellent audio quality for the price but note I said for the price, these headphones are far from audiophile but then again they don't have the hundred's or perhaps even thousand pounds price mark of the holy grail of equipment. This is by no means a bad thing however as the average user would likely be extremely pleased with them and a massive upgrade on the bog standard ones thrown in with an MP3 player and they would certainly be pleased with the funds that remain in their bank after purchase! I have no fear in highly recommending these headphones to anyone looking at them, after all if you are looking at them then you have already established type and budget etc. so go for it and enjoy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do these headphones have a good amount of bass**
A: Bass... quite good, not awsome. They are very comfortable thowgh...

**Q: Can I record music**
A: Hi, you can record the music on your external device, such as mobile or computer which has installed software for voice recording. Device itself does not have any storage capability.

**Q: Are they vwry loud?**
A: This is going to sound like I'm being elusive but I'm not trying to be loud is subjective past a certain level your hearing becomes endangered measured in decibels which is an elusive quantity because each company uses a different level of 0 DB Sony JVC all you something slightly different so I'll answer this question in an opinion only I've been listening to audio many years and I'm now 62 years old I still love rock and roll like I loved it when I was a kid including classical and pop and a lot of other kinds of music if it's well done are they loud they're loud enough to make me uncomfortable and loud enough to make my ears ring after I listen to them too long at too high a level I use an LG v20 to drive these headphones it has a built-in headphone amplifier one of the strongest in the business according to multiple reviewers I agree it has the strongest headphone drivers I've ever seen and these headphones are low resistance which means they will sing if they are pushed hard I have never seen the need to push the much over 50% out of 75 in my opinion yes they are very loud I've never been able to make them to the store either for the money you can't beat them I'm sorry about the wording response but it's not a question you can answer easily because everybody has a different type of idea

**Q: Is the bass realy realy good like awesome or u guys are just new to bass and just say yea its good?**
A: In my opinion I thought the bass was okay

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sony MDR-XB450 Xtra Bass Headphones - Impressive
*by B***Y on 9 January 2017*

My first headphone purchase, only received them today, so had the item for less than 24hrs, primarily switching from Samsung Ear Phones. Very impressed with the Sony Headphones, the sound clarity is excellent and you can really hear the bass coming through. Originally I was going to purchase 'Beats' headphones, but when you compare the price for what you get and Sony also had excellent reviews, I decided to opt for Sony as I preferred the look of the headphone. I lurve the Red colour it really pops and is noticeable which is what I wanted, also the matching red cord, which is a decent length more than long enough. The primary use for these headphones is solely for Gym usage, something to deliver hard bass high beat music to take me through the endurance of the multiple cardio machines I frequent!! And they deliver exactly that! The Headphones are extremely comfortable to the point where you do not even realise you are wearing them. Headphones are light but are good sturdy quality, they also look good on. The ear pads cover the whole ear even though they are not noise cancelling headphones (maybe because I have small ears) the padding is extremely comfortable. The adjustable head band is simple and easy to use, it has a click motion into position, it is not tricky to re-adjust. The Headphones do not a have volume adjuster, only a Play/Pause or Answer/End Call button for phone. This is not an issue for me, controlling the volume via the device, I know some people may prefer a volume adjuster button, so thought I would mention this. My only negative on the product, which is more a personal negative and may not be considered a negative at all. is that the padding and headband from the picture look like they are Black, in actual fact they are a Dark Grey colour. I feel that the headphone would have looked that little bit more stylish had Sony opted for Black. I graded the headphone 4 stars purely based on my negative comment, I am a female, colour is very important to us :-) They are worth a buy, if you want something reasonably priced with excellent sound quality and good bass, then these are the headphones you want, particularly if you have a budget and do not wish to pay between £100 - £200+. Obviously if you are a music junkie and have a keen ear for sound quality and are quite particular, then the more expensive headphone brands would possibly cater more to your needs. But for myself, who wanted an upgrade from smart phone ear phones, these Headphones have leap frogged me into a much more dynamic experience. An Excellent Buy you will not be disappointed.
