Product Reviews for Sony MDR-XB40EX Extra Bass Earphone

I've had these earbuds for just over 2 years now and they are absolutely outstanding. They sound great, and work well for all types of music. They have an excellent balance and clarity as well, emphasizing the bass but not drowning out the treble. I've used them everywhere and even washed them on 2 separate occasions by accident, and they never stopped working. They've stood up great to extremely heavy use, and I couldn't be happier with them. Unfortunately, due to continued stress on the cable, the sound has started to cut in and out. The earbuds themselves never stopped working, but after a hard life the connection couldn't handle it. I would highly recommend these or the updated model (MDR-XB41EX) to everyone. More than worth the money for the quality you get.

This is an earbud for Bass lovers... its frequency response starts with 4Hz which gives the best bass response than any other earbud in the market... (I'd searched for an earbud which gives response at low frequencies, none I could find as low as 4 Hz other than Sony MDR-XB40EX)... I love it....

I bought these headphones thinking they are no comparison to the monster line of products that don't really disclose their driver unit measurements which is really true indicator of the bass the headphones can handle and after buying these, i returned my Dr. Dre in ear that were twice the price of this (paid 70+tax) for this and so far so good. Sony finally made great headphones affordable.

this is a great earbuds that really wqorth it. the bass it creates is amazing. i didn't expect an earbud like this would have that much of bass. the mids and highs are clear, but i'm not very impressed by that. overall, this earbuds worth the money, produces clear and distinguishable sound. i would recommend this for others
