 MDR-XD100, poor sound, great construction. December 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
With good construction this is a good buy. It's very light, but it's solid. The chord is heavy duty and extra long. The sound is sub-standard, but it can handle extreme volume. Most point to it's lack of bass, but bass is not all that the sound quality lacks. They're not good for portability, or use with portable media devices because of their long chord and a high draw of electrical current. The headphones sound their best (which is still bad) when you use them with a proper equalizer and amp (or a computer with a high-quality sound controller/card). But buying these because you have a high end sound card or expensive audio equipment is like buying a tailor with no wheels because you own a powerful truck that won't have a problem pulling it.
You get what you pay for. Whereas most headphones invest most into the speakers and let the actual construction suffer, Sony did the exact opposite with this product.
 AWESOME! December 11, 2008
Great headphones! I hate the buds so I wanted these... They're extremely comfortable (even on my fat head)... They even have bass!
Oh and they're so comfortable sometimes I even forget I'm wearing them...
You get what you pay for December 7, 2008
Inexpensive. Functional. Comfortable? I don't think I agree on that one, however I say that compared some expensive high end phones I own which are very comfortable.
I purchased these to use with my HD video camera, so I could monitor the microphone while filming. For this purpose they work fine. Unlike some other Sony heaphones they do not fold up compactly. They are however much lighter than the other sony headphones I own. The cord is of that "too long" length (not long enough for home stereo use, but too long for portable listening).
 No Bass November 30, 2008
I came here just to see what others thought of these, because I thought my hearing was off when I heard no bass on them. Fortunately, it's not my hearing. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with these headphones with superb mid range and treble and a shameful lack of bass. I can hear enough to tell that the bass is there. But it really is not satisfying. Even at maximum volume, all it did was crank up the treble and mid range.
My suspicion is that the actual speakers in these are very tiny despite the big package, which would explain why they are curiously light for their size. I trusted Sony but I should have listened to the gut feeling I had about the price. Big brand name or not, you will never get more than you pay for.
 Poorest Quality November 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Despite the fact that these headphones have a 4 star rating, they are not described accurately, nor imaged. The two cushions were loosely attached, and as soon as I opened the package, they fell out. Now I'm stuck with two ear cushions and plastic headphones.
The quality is VERY, VERY fragile and hard-plastic; it is of utmost discomfort. It's like putting a piece of wood on your ear, it's that hard. The material in the image looks soft and cushioned; it pierces the ears and hurts you within the first few minutes of putting them on. Not only are the ears hurt, but the top part is hard plastic as well, it hurts the head, even when the headphones are extended.
The sound quality is great. The wire/cord is long, that's also good. But the quality of the actual headphones is the poorest of its kind. And the fact that the two cushions were not placed on it properly means I'm refunding it.
