I bought a pair and these things are the best from their price range. Better than beats no doubt.

Very Happy!

My 1st review, I purchased these from another web site, when they arrived I plugged them into my new HTC One S phone and started listening to Pandora with Beats Audio, First impression was wow a lot of bass, but after just a few minutes and a few songs later in recognized the bass was VERY clear, NO Distortion, crisp clear bass, Crisp clear everything, Very Very good sound, I LOVE THEM! Not one compliant, I would recommend these to all my best friends - IF you like over the ear headphones, which I prefer. if you do not like over the ear headphones, I would recommend looking at the specs and finding the same specs on the earphones you put into your ear. The padding is soft and very comfee, I listen to them every evening before bed, again I cant tell you how much I enjoy them, I am thinking of purchasing another pair just in case they discontinue them. Oh , one other thing since I purchase them, I have listen to the Dr, Dre Beats headphones on my HTC One S and the Sonys blow them away, I dont think you will be sorry, Good luck and enjoy your new Sony MDR-XB500 Extra Bass Headphones.
