I recently purchased the MDR-XB50AP and I am pretty surprised about the sound quality. I always put the EQ on every sounding device I own (that is with my ATH-M50X and that was with my studio monitors earlier). So I've took them and first I wanted to listen to it without any EQ and try to compare to other things. So in raw, they have a little bit muddy but detailed sound. I like crystal hi's and meaty mids and low-mids. They have punchy bass, but they lacks that cleanliness. So I've set the 250Hz-2kHz freqs a bit around +0.5dB to +1dB, 8kHz a bit more (around +2dB) and 16kHz even little bit more. Now they sound really clean and also they have punchy lows.
For the price I've purchased it ($40 after taxes, in Future Shop), they sound really good, and they are loud too.
