Sony Extra Bass headphone series announced

If you are an audiophile who absolutely loves all original tracks just the way the recording artist wants you to listen to, then you will definitely fall in love with the Sony Extra Bass range of headphones which were just announced recently. These will come in headband-type and in ear bud versions, where it will merge Sony’s expertise in superior audio engineering, comfort, and style, without sacrificing on performance, delivering an enhanced acoustic design to boot. It is said that the range of sub harmonics is deeper than the more traditional line, making it more than the ideal pair for today’s music.

Andrew Sivori, vice president of the Personal Audio Division at Sony Electronics, said, “Sony’s sound engineers are committed to providing an unprecedented level of audio performance. Our new Extra Bass lineup of headphones delivers solid low frequency response, enhancing the signature of today’s music styles.”

Boasting the newly developed Advanced Direct Vibe Structure, the MDR-XB800, MDR-XB600 and MDR-XB400 headphones will deliver additional bass reproduced with high-fidelity, making it sound appealing to music lovers who are looking for an impressive listening experience.

The MDR-XB800 and MDR-XB600 headphones were specially designed for long-term wearing comfort with soft head cushions, while seamless pressure-relieving ear cushions ensure that your ears remain nice and comfortable after long hours of listening, in addition to having a supportive, wrap-around feel. The presence of an effective acoustic seal paves the way for a high level of sound isolation, which further reinforces the headphones’ powerful sub-bass reproduction.

Boasting grooved serrations on the surface, the cords on the Extra Bass headphones come in an innovative design which does away with friction between cable surfaces and reduces the source of frustrating tangles. Thanks to their special folding design, you can be sure of hassle-free portability wherever you go. Some of the headphones will come with hybrid silicone rubber ear buds in various sizes so that your ears will always be able to enjoy a secure and tailored fit.

The MDR-XB800, MDR-XB600, MDR-XB400 and MDR-XB60EX headphones will arrive in Sony Stores and can also be ordered online, and the MDR-XB800 will cost $149.99; while the MDR-XB600 retails for $99.99; and the MDR-XB400 goes for $59.99 with the MDR-XB60EX retailing for $99.99 a pair.
