This was one of my favorites, but I unfortunately lost mine in a bar a while ago. Looking at getting another, but the prices now are about 3x more than what I paid back then. So I'm wondering if there's a newer Sony that replicates the XB90 at a more reasonable price. Thanks

The in-house successor to the Sony MDR-XB90EX is the Sony MDR-EX650:

If you are willing to upgrade from the XB90EX sound and have a little bit more cash to spend, the iBasso IT01 has a very popular choice here, preferred by many over the 3x-priced iBasso IT03:

I want them to make a successor to the MDR-R10.

From reading up on the Sony EX650, it doesn't sound like it has anywhere near the sub-bass as the XB90?

Well, if you want more sub-bass, then check out the Sony MDR-XB75AP here:

Thank you. Is there a difference between this and the XB70?

Other than the XB75 having a later release than the XB70, I am not sure. Both housings and cables look the same, but Sony could have added a micro-part to mod the sound of the XB75 or something like that, so it is typically a better bet to pick the newer model.

If you don’t mind buying used and have a little more cash ($169, heh-heh), the Sony XBA-H3 housing looks a lot like the xb90ex housing, just with detachable cables and a over-the-ear-fitting by default:

I know this is years later but did they end up being close?
