Sony XB550AP Extra Headphone Black Review

The sound quality is good, but the highs and mids are lacking compared to the bass. I wanted cheap and loud headphones with strong bass, they are perfect for that. However, they are not very comfortable and the build quality is fine. Also, the cables are very annoying, so I'd recommend getting one of the more expensive wireless models. I was also annoyed that there is only one button. There are no volume up/down buttons.

According to the description, the built-in remote control has a microphone that allows you to skip tracks and answer calls, as well as change the volume. However, you cannot control the volume with the built-in remote control. There is no getting around this, including setting up a smart key app. This was ultimately disappointing because my main desire was to be able to control the volume in my next pair of headphones, even if they didn't have added bass. But everything else is a quality pair…

Fantastic sound, low noise and great sizing. Not intended for people who care about hair. My wife uses them and can't figure out how to avoid her hair getting caught in the metal band and inevitably pulling out a strand or two of hair every time she takes it off. Temporarily hanging them around her neck pulls out even more hair. If your hair is long enough for a ponytail, be sure to tie it up before using these headphones to avoid snagging on stray hairs.
