Review on 🎧 Sony XB550AP Extra Bass On-Ear Headset/Headphones with Mic for Phone Call - White (MDRXB550AP/W) by Eddie Fowler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality, stay tuned and

Good headphones, very comfortable and good sound. I'm just a little upset that I bought it for $35 less than 5 days ago and it's now $30. Music in the upper and lower ranges sounds amazingly clear, as if they were blossoming into a symphony. However, I have a feeling that the mids sound flat in comparison. For example I've heard Hello Adele or Somebody I used to Know Gauthier and they sounded a bit flat in comparison because they're mostly acoustic. In comparison, bass-driven electronic music like Billie Ellish and Lorde sounds fantastic, as does instrumental music. So I have mixed feelings because I feel like it enhances some of my songs and leaves some in the dust. I still consider these to be very high quality headphones for everyday use. The wire is flat and tangle-free, there's a built-in mic with controls, they're comfortable, and the sound leakage is low enough to wear in the library. I'm not a music lover so I can't confirm the sound quality but I can say they have better bass and higher reproduction than headphones and most headphones in this price range.
