Authorized dealer

The Sony XBA-1 is distinguished by its single full-range balanced armature driver. Unlike other balanced armature in-ear monitors that use stock armature drivers, Sony has specially designed, tuned, and produced their own balanced armature unit constructed for music reproduction. To further improve the excellent sound of the exclusive driver, Sony has created a uniquely crafted inter-chamber composed of a liquid crystal polymer that securely holds the driver in place and reduces vibration distortion. The outer chamber is composed of ABS plastic which further inhibits vibration and unwanted resonance.

The XBA-1 is finished off with comfortable silicone ear tips that also isolate noise. The soft ear cushions allow these in-ear headphones to be used for extended sessions with minimal fatigue on users. Overall, the XBA-1 delivers crisp and clean sound with precision and control.

These headphones are so comfy and with all the extra attachments you can vary how much sound you want into your ear. I love these headphones because I can use them for hours without my ears to start hurting. The quality of sound on these head phones are amazing.

Beat value

Sound is true and clear. Like everyone else says, it lacks excess bass. This could be easily fixed by turning up the bass in equalizer or bass mode for players.

Reliable Quality

The Sony XBA-1 single balanced armature driver in-ear headphones are reliable and are very good quality ear buds. They are noise cancelling and provide a clear tone to any music you listen too. These are a higher end product where you wont be disappointed.

True Audio Reproduction

I really love the balanced armature. There is no driver that performs quite like it. Sony certainly did it right with this one, and a very affordable price point.

P.S. a headphone amp is HIGHLY recommended on this one. ;)

Sony XBA-1

Great headphones and fantastic price. Plenty of ear pieces to swap out with other family members. Fits snug in the ear for total sound or back it out a little to hear whats going on around you.
