Sony Extra Bass MDR-XB450AP On-Ear Wired Headphones with Mic (Blue)

After using 2.5 years, I would say there is no difference of sound as compared to new one. Under 2k is the best product I have found yet.far better than neckband and esrbuds

Here is the detailed review of the product; 1. This is an amazing product. No doubts about the quality. The product's USP is Extra BASS and it fulfills the same quite brilliantly. Built quality is amazing, sound is superb. You will love it. 2.The reason i gave it 4 stars is something of my personal opinion. I couldn't listen to these headphones for a very long as they produce high bass and if I listen 2-3 songs in a row, I have to remove them. But as said this is my personal opinion and it might not happen with everyone. 3. I read so many reviews before buying the product. For those who are in dilemma to buy the product or not due to the fact that other reviewers say that they received a fake product or so, I suggest you to go for it blindly without doubting the genuinity, but please ensure that you buy it from a seller who is Prime fulfilled. Cases where fake product is sent are generally from non-prime fulfilled sellers. 4. Although the colour is a matter of personal choice, but if you are confused between choosing a colour, go for red one. It looks amazing. I hope this review is helpful.

These are my observations & feedback after using Sony Extra Bass MDR-XB450AP for ~ 1 week: + MDR-XB450AP is a closed type, on-ear headphone with 3.94 ft long Y-type cord. + sound quality is amazing, crisp and clear with boosted bass punch. + looks are good, with classy metallic finish. + build quality is sturdy and durable. + headband is also sturdy and amazing. It is adjustable to suit your head. + the cushioned ear-pads are comfortable to the ear which also helps to enclose or seal the music perfectly. + noise cancellation works perfectly. + it sports a tangle-free cable with looks durable, the length of the wire is perfect, neither too long nor too short, you can easily sport it outdoors. + it is fold-able and easy to store, really portable. + lot more comfortable than other headphones out there in this segment, not too tight and don't slide off easily. + I didn't faced (yet) any issue of heating up of ears. + one thing which I was interested in knowing but was not able to gather much details before purchasing, was the performance of mic. After using I can say it is really good and do the intended job perfectly. I use it for voice calls and all feedback I got from the other party about the quality of voice was always positive. + now an important thing about the authenticity of the product as a lot of fake Sony headphones are in circulation in market. Sony has issued detailed guidelines on how to validate if your purchase is authentic. Posting a web link is not allowed here, so just search for the words "microsite mdrcaution index.html", most likely it will be the first link in google search results. Following are the three things you need to check and in my case I found all in place correctly, which confirms it is an authentic one with a July 2017 import date: >>>>> 1 year warranty sticker. >>>>> MRP sticker. >>>>> correct bar-code, ending with (E) or (IN) On the flip side: - bass can be overwhelming and little too much at times. - I did feel a little pain after 2+ hours of continuous use, but I would like to believe that is normal and a matter of getting used to it. Just want to highlight. SUMMARY => Overall, an excellent product in ~2K price segment. You can definitely go for it. Pictures posted for reference. I hope this helps. Should you need any further information, do leave a comment below, I'll definitely try to get back.

Good quality product

Great headphone for the price. Don't expect it to do wonders after unboxing it. Let it burn for a day to get the most performance out of it. No cushion on top won't be an issue. Headphone is super comfortable because of the soft earpads. Ears will sweat after using for couple of hours straight. Ears will also hurt if you are wearing spectales. Performs really well in terms of clarity and bass is noticable. Really good thumping bass. Headphone kinda vibrates when playing songs with low bass. I feel the bass is just not enough to shake your skull. Maybe this is what you get for 1700rs. If you have used headphones around 1000 rs then this one will sound similar to them. I also own a 999 rs Mi in ear headphone and it is really close to this one in terms of bass. I also used the Sennheiser HD 202, which surpassed this headphone in terms of clarity, HD. 202 lacks in bass though. I genuinely don't feel much disappointed because I got this headphone with cashback money. Can't compain. Good purchase overall.

I have been using this since 2 years now. Overall the quality of the headphones is fine. The bass is super punchy. Sound quality is good. However do not expect it to stay in shape for long. After 2 years of sparing use the headband has become loose. Also the gum holding the ear pads has come off and now the inner foam is exposed. This has not really affected its functionality but it looks shabby. I am wondering if the ear cups (cushions) can be replaced. In case someone has any idea do let me know.. Update: 3 years now and one of the earcups have come off. I took it to the service center just to check if they can replace both the earcups and to my surprise the response I got was really bad. Any damage to the earcup is considered as an accidental damage and even if it is under warranty, it won't be entertained. Mine was anyway out of warranty so I was ready to pay for the replacement but I was told that this is not possible. In fact any issue with the headphones/earphones after the warranty is not Serviceable and this holds true for any range of earphones or headphones you buy from Sony in India. (The lady told me that even if it was a 25k earphone the response would be same!!) I was in fact planning to buy a premium wireless headphone from Sony which after this experience I have dropped.

Excellent!
