    Sound's great for classical music; mic not working

    Musik, Virginia Beach, VA: Sound is excellent, squarely in the back of my head, nicely mixed. Only problem is that I can't get the mic to work with my Pixel 3a phone or my iPad; can't talk to my Google assistant with it, can't call. Downloaded the Smart Key app, and couldn't find this model number. Really wanted to use the mic for phone calls, so will keep trying. No troubleshooting I can find so far for this issue.

    Amazing Headphones!

    I have had these for one full year now and I have had nearly 0 problems with these. Amazing sound quality, well built, made to last and comfortable to use. The only con I have for them is that after I guess the year of wear on them the left bud (the rubber piece) tends to come off leaving me with using one earbud until I can get home and replace the rubber bud.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    These are very painful as the design has some large plastic piece that rubs the inner part of your ear...

    The plastic part where the 'R' is rubs your ear

    They are too big for an ear

    Tested for only a hour and I can say quality of sound itself is good. But I didn't like frequency curve and had to use equalizers to get sound to where I liked it. Basically too much bass for me.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    I love it. The sound quality is very good, the 4-25 KHz is enough for daily use. The bass is very good. I can recommend.

    The XB Line from Sony never disappoint if you are looking for Solid BASSY headphones, The XB50AP while cheap deliver one of the most absurd amount of Mid-Bass in a In-Ear Monitor (IEM) at a Price that cant be beaten.. PROS: 1.- Solid DEEP-BASS response. 2.- Excellent MIDs and Insane MID-BASS Response for the Price. 3.- Monitors feel Premium to the touch with a little weight to them. CONS: 1.- Recessed HIGHs which is normal in Bassy Headphones. 2.- Lacking controls for iPhone/iPod users (Only has 1 button for Android Use). 3.- Cheap looking cord that looks easy to snap. SUMMARY: Great addition to your bassy headphone collection at a ridiculous price point.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    I bought these with the thinking I was going to use the as my spare pair of headphones but they have become my main phones they sound so great and don't fall out my ears like my Beats do and another high end brand does. This pair sounds just as good so why bother spending big money on the higher end models?

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    I've had them for almost a year now and I've loved them this whole time. However, I find that I loose the silicone bits a tad too easy and they begin to hurt my ears after long uses. With that said, it is largely user error, and I still refuse to replace them :)
