    Strong quality bass in this one
    http://hearphones.net/sony-mdr-xb920-headphones-review/

    but only about above average in the other departments.
    "the headphone provides passable transparency and separation between the mid and high tones. The bass, however, will occasionally drown the mid tones, causing vocals to fade into the background instead of standing out."

    • I wonder how would it go with the harman kardon that's on sale few weeks back on amazon…

    • Great to see a fair few people made use of the code ;@)

  • +1

    The selling point it seems is the 'extra bass' but can someone who owns it tell me what the 'quality' of the bass is like?

    Does it have nice sub bass impact and a nice weighted texture to the 'boom' sound? Or is it just loud and powerful?

    Anyway the price is so tempting OMG ….. nevermind just gonna buy it lol

    • Yeah that's the spirit mate - buy now ask questions later!

      Hey there- I've owned many many pairs of headphones during my life, so let me give you my thoughts. I don't understand the technical aspects so well, so I'll use my layman's terms.

      If you've ever owned a pair of Sony cans before, I would say these are closest to the MDR-V700DJ's in terms of build, bass and sound quality.

      I like to test each pair of headphones I own with 3 songs for bass:
      1) Get Some Crunk in Your System by Trillville: these cans performed really well for bass. The vocals sounded a little tinny almost like a "spoken word" setting on any equaliser.
      2) How Low Can You Go by Ludacris: this song has various high and low bass sounds. On these headphones the bass was stable throughout and didn't distort at low or high volumes. My car has a Harmon Kardon sound system with 4 tweeters and 4 speakers with 2 subs and an amp and the low bass still distorts at times.
      3) Monster by Kanye West: Again sounded amazing, the problem is in the treble and the vocals.

      2.5/5 for treble. If you set an equaliser setting to have treble boosted, you can negate the lack of to get a very decent sound.
      5/5 for the bass
      3/5 for size/comfort. These are very heavy. (less so than the MDR-V700) but don't expect to be able to wear these all day.

      Edit: I paid $200 for these and have never been disappointed. For this price you can't go wrong!

      Hope this helps in some way!

      • when did you buy this for $200?

        • +2

          About a year ago at a duty free store at Narita airport.

          Should also have mentioned that the quality of the metal is average, the outside of the cups gets scratches easily.

          Still, love these headphones and 100% worth the price.

        • @Jaskie:

          Thanks for the quick honest review - fun Bass for the hugely discount price is all I hope for.

          I listen to alot of hip hop and rnb so this will hopefully be good :P I also own MrSpeaker Mad Dogs, Shure SRH840, Beyer DT 880 Pro and Futuresonic Atrio M5 but was looking for a pair of portable closed headphones to alternate with my in-ears.

          So glad I purchased them before they sold out ehehe!

        • @Psychogene:

          Hey Boss, Long time man. Haven't heard from you since the DDO days.

          How you finding the Mad Dogs? was considering getting the Alpha Dog as an upgrade to my Q701, but it's alot of coin to drop on something i can't check out in person.

  • That is like so cheap.. but I have bought like 12+ headphone/earphones in the past 12 months based on OZB deals… :/

    Wish I didn't buy so many. Some were crap. These ones actually look good, and 50mm drivers is very good.

  • fuark cant believe i missed this

    Literally was looking for this EXACT pair of headphones :'( I'm spewing like crazy.

    • Back in stock buddy. Be quick!

  • Any other deals people would recommend from oo using the VIP15! code?

    The design philosophy behind these Sony cans and the MDR-V55Rs that OO also have on sale is very easy to sum up: Bass > Everything Else.

    Mids and Highs suffer significantly as a result.
    Every review you read for both will praise the "punchy bass" but specifically points that not much else is really being heard.

    They also both suffer from the same ergonomic issues; being that the cups don't fully enclose the ears but rather just press onto them, they are not comfortable for prolonged periods of time.

    What the MDR-V55R do have going for them is that they don't look like they were designed by colourblind 10 year olds.

    For this kind of money, entry-level Philips or Audio-Technica cans will sh*t all over them.

    • +1

      for 50 bucks? really?

      • -3

        I have a $20 pair of Philips SHP-2000s which I would take over most $50 sets of cans any day of the week.

        The sub-$100 price bracket is incredibly hit and miss, with the production costs between models being spent inconsistently. A lot of modern cans actually have more cost diverted to the construction and aesthetics than they do to the actual drivers in them.

        The SHP-2000s are butt ugly and impress no one but can be worn for an entire day without feeling them and sound better than stuff 5 to 6 times their price.

        • I don't know why you're getting down voted, you are absolutely spot on.
          This price bracket has always been an interesting one but I have noticed in recent times far more money is spent on aesthetics.

          Back in my high school days, we had far better choices <$100: Koss, Sennheiser etc. They may have been ugly but they sounded good!

          PerhapsI'm just being nostalgic but I'm 100% certain the Sennheiser HD497's I rocked during high school absolutely crap on anything around the same price these days.

    • Amar….Bose?

        What you did, it's there, and I see it. (Disclosure: Never been a fan of Bose).

    God damn it, missed out, would of loved a pair.

  • +2

    Any Sony's with the same
    Flexible Multi-folding Design
    Detachable, Tangle-free Serrated Cords

    are an excellent design that has survived me for at least 8 months and I recommend them aside from any other reason.

  • these are the same as the mdr x10 (american version) without the case. (also no X logo on the side of the ears)

  • +5
