XBA-2 would be good at that price. Nice find

Are XBA2VP same as XBA-2?

Agreed with your review on XBA-1, the bass rolls off way soon, though its bass will benefit from amping, I love mine as is, but pairing it with either E10 or E11, the bass become so much better.

This may be a long shot, but can someone tell me how the bass on the XBA-1 compare to a pair of Sony v6/MDR-7506 in terms of quantity?

I having problem with my sony XBA-1 left side earpiece with no sound sometimes. Can i overcome this proble? Mainly what is the cause?

The bass on the V6 is maybe 10 more than whats on XBA-1. But that doesnt mean the XBA-1 doesnt have bass. It does, but not a much compared to full sixes headphone.

Do you have to wiggle the cable to get the sound near the earpiece? If it is, it could be a loose connection which 'may' need a soldering job

I don't own xba 1 but I just got xba 2. When I compare the bass of xba 2 with mdr 7506, the big can really extends its lows while Xba 2 has a quick tight bass. Depending on the song im listening to, I quite enjoy xba 2 better than its big gramps.
