Great design
Great design
new video! In case you guys are interested. The new XB70 certainly have more details than XB60. A good update to the XB60. I like em'.
Saw the XB50 at a local Future Shop so decided to see what they were like. So $62 later I was trying them on. I got the red pair.
Out of the box I am very impressed with the mids and the treble. The bass is definitely there but is a bit one noted. But I do know that the bass changes the most and the quickest so am hopeful it gets a bit tighter and possibly a bit less prominent with use. I have to say I like them a lot better than the last bass designed Sony. It has not sacrificed everything just for bass.
I also am finding the design to be very comfortable and quite good from a micro phonics perspective. Being a hang down design it's not perfect but it is pretty good, certainly above average. It also had a new type of tip as compared to the typical Sony hybrid, I noticed this on some other recent Sony pictures so assume this is a change Sony is making maybe model wise. I like the new tips, they seem as comfortable as the old design but a bit stiffer.
Overall I would say this is a very good bass head IEM that gives good performance in all areas.
I will do some am A/B comparisons to my XBA-H1 in a couple of days to see how this model stacks up to it sibling.
I can't remember the model, it was one that was kinda round in the body, I will check when I get home. I also will do the H1 comparison.
