Extra Bass means EXTRA BASS. Use they headphones for listen to music in my leisure time, and when I'm mixing our church worship band. Reproduces frequencies to a "T"! A+

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

These headphones have pretty good sound quality and delivered their promise on extra bass, but i feel like these headphones are too centered on the bass and that the vocals and the other instruments are just kind of a background to the music. Also, after about 15 minutes of listening, the headphones started to make my ears sore. Even though the cushions are very soft and spongy, they start to hurt after a relativity short period of time. Plus, the plastic headband isn't the best either. Overall, these headphones would be good if you would use them lightly and if you didn't want to spend too much money, but choose something else if you are looking for the best overall experience.

I often take airline trips that exceed 20 hours (with a stop and layover). I play Drum and Bass music very loud to relax. I have found these to give quite a full range of sound, great for music immersion. Also because I am wearing these extensively, they don't give that pain on the top and bottom of the ears or the jaw. I can sleep with them on, due to the comfortable pads and music clarity. They also drown out the surrounding noise well such as aircraft engine noise or a whiny boss. Unfortunately these do tend to leak the sound in detail. Sometimes people sing along, sometimes they tap me on the shoulder. Either way, I don't recommend them for using in public or the office.

I have been buying all different brands of headphones for 10 years now. I have had Skullcandy, Bose, Pioneer, JVC, Panasonic, Klipsch, Monster, Kicker, Sennheiser, and many more. So far, Sony has surprised me in my search for that durable, bassy pair of headphones. It started with the MDR-XB500s, a step up from these, their tight construction lasted through a lot of trips and turns that surronds college life (falls, drops, tripped over wire, and ran over wire).

I bought the MDR-XB300s to see if the cheaper end of the line was good. Albeit the sound is good, but the overall bass experience is about 15-20% less than the XB500s, but that doesn't matter because the bass is really well distributed in this pair. The flat cord is hard to get tangled, the comfortable leather pads produce a snug fit to your ear lops, and any musical taste is quickly enhanced with the 30mm drivers. Overall, this pair of headphones is a definite buy for those budget minded audiophiles. If you want to go all out, but still stay in the XB family, look up the XB1000s.

I own the Sony MDR XB500 and I wanted something a little smaller to hit the gym !! So, these 300 are great. There are smaller but still provide a good sound quality overall and good bass.

The shipping from B&H was super fast. Thanks !!

they have a great sound, yet their cord is not long enough..

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

The bass in the headphones is great, but there is slight loss in the middle and highs. Also, can get uncomfortable if wearing glasses.

A brisk winter morning. Bright sunshine. Frigid conditions. Snow on the ground. The bus stop. A cool breeze pressing against the face. A tense day ahead. Sudden warmth and comfort over the ears. Sonic accuracy. The morning commute. Relaxation. Perfect. The Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass headphones plunge you into a stunning world of deep bass performance bliss. The sound quality coming from these headphones is so good that it will just bring a smile to your face on a cold winter day. To state that the Sony XB stereo headphones are lightweight, snug, and produce natural sound tones from music, movies, and computer games is a profound understatement. This pair of headphones offers supremely comfortable oversized cushioned ear pads that cover the most acoustically accurate 30mm dynamic stereo headphone drivers on the market. The Sony headphones are compatible with virtually any audio, video, TV, DVD player, VCR, digital video recorder, portable video game system, or computer product that features a 3.5mm or 1/4� component stereo headphone jack. The 3.9 ft. Y-shaped durable headphone cord provides optimal length, reduced tangles, and freedom of movement for the Sony Walkman that I have connected to it. This item’s gold-plated L-shaped stereo mini-plug connector offers seamless connectivity to your portable entertainment devices and maximum signal transfer from the source component to your ears. The expertly constructed headband is highly adjustable for maximum flexibility during a lengthy private listening session. I don’t notice any other outside noise distractions while wearing this item, but I admit that I am always engrossed in the music that is playing from these sophisticated stereo headphone drivers. Vocal clarity is superbly transmitted across a lush dynamic audio landscape. Midrange response, where most musical instrument reproduction resides in the audio universe, is nicely-defined, balanced, and harmoniously detailed. This unit’s overall sound quality is warm, delicate during select musical passages, nuanced in the treble range, and not the slightest bit rolled off at the low or high end frequency ranges. If you are passionate about portable musical reproduction, then the Sony MDR-XB300 headphones are the best choice in the over-the-ear headphone product category with respect to its price class and driver type. The Sony MDR-XB300 XB stereo headphones offer an audiophile feature set for the budget conscious consumer. Those high class portable audio features include: The Sony Extra Bass headphones sport an attractive appearance with its large over-the-ear design, sturdy construction, adjustable headband for maximum comfort, silver ear cup exterior finish, and a 3.9 ft. flat Y-type cord. The Sony MDR-XB300 headphones feature a sealed acoustic design for improved sound isolation characteristics, direct vibe structure for the highest quality sound output, 3.5mm gold-plated L-shaped stereo mini plug for compatibility with the widest range of portable, MP3, computer, and home audio equipment possible. The Sony Extra Bass headphones provide the following portable audiophile accoutrements: stereo reproduction, 30mm dome type XB driver units, neodymium magnet high-energy speaker drivers, two diaphragms and gaskets for extended low frequency response, king sized pressure-relieving ear cushions, left/right ear cup placement marks, 1.2" ear cup thickness, 3.1" ear cup diameter, over-the-head supra-aural design, Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire Voice Coil, lightweight double-sided flat cord, 1000mW power handling capacity, 5-22,000Hz frequency response, 24 ohms at 1 kHz impedance rating, 100db/mW sensitivity rating, and this unit's weight is 4.23 ounces without cord. The Sony headphones includes a 90-day parts and labor limited manufacturer warranty, handsome black/silver exterior finish, Sony logo, high quality product packaging with printed limited warranty statement, and it comes with pamphlet-style operating instructions. With its excellent stereo channel separation, localization of sound between string and percussion based instruments, exceptional low bass reproduction performance, transparent midrange tonality, clear voice quality on news, weather, or sports talk radio broadcasts, and clear vocals on country, rock, grunge, blues, alternative new wave, and disco music forms, the Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass stereo headphones provide a spectacular portable audio experience that amount to a riveting personal listening experience. The Sony Extra Bass headphones are more than worthy of their very economical price tag. The Sony headphones are ideal for use at home, at work, outdoors where portable audio is required, traveling, the daily exercise routine, listening to the radio, and a quality audio experience through any of the yearly seasons. I spend most of my time with the Sony MDR-XB300 headphones while listening to my assortment of Sony boomboxes for an utterly amazing privately enjoyed portable audio performance. I also use a headphone extension cord with the Sony Extra Bass headphones when I listen to a component based stereo system. The Sony headphones do not come with a carrying pouch for storage, in-line volume control, or a gold-plated unimatch stereo plug adapter for connection to a component stereo headphone jack. Please note that you will need a 1/8� to 1/4� stereo headphone plug adapter to connect the Sony MDR-XB300 headphones to a home stereo system. The Sony stereo headphones are compatible with a portable FM/AM radio’s 3.5mm monaural earphone jack. The customer will be able to hear audio out of both speaker drivers from the pocket radio with the use of a 3.5mm monaural-to-stereo headphone plug adapter that is attached to the stereo mini plug connector of the Sony Extra Bass headphones. I believe that elite headphone drivers must be able to reproduce high frequency or treble notes accurately in order to present a realistic concert venue listening experience to the end user. The high frequency range ordinarily includes high-pitched vocals and/or instruments like cymbals and keyboards. The low frequencies or bass notes that are produced by headphone drivers originate from bass guitar or drums. Midrange driver frequencies contain most vocals and musical instruments such as guitar, keyboards, and drums. The Sony headphones reproduce midrange and low bass frequencies with extreme competence. This pair of Sony Extra Bass headphones offers dome type drivers, compelling stereo sound, and they can produce the entire spectrum of sound that is associated with today’s music. Ultimately, headphone speaker driver quality and its subsequent audio reproduction depend on multiple factors which include the type of materials that are used to make the drivers, the sensitivity rating of a particular speaker driver, and the quality of the source component that the headphones are connected to. Stereo headphones with a higher sensitivity rating can play more loudly, with less distortion, without turning the volume up on the connected component to maximum volume. The Sony Extra Bass headphones feature a high sensitivity rating that is measured in decibels. Additionally, the better performing Sony headphones feature neodymium magnet units, large speaker driver diameter that is measured in millimeters, advanced diaphragm design for deep bass response, high-end voice coils, super comfortable ear pads, adjustable headband, professional build quality, tangle resistant connecting cord, a gold-plated mini plug connector, and they can reproduce bass notes that are on par with a home theatre’s dedicated subwoofer. Low bass response should be realized without the assistance of custom or preset equalizer sound modes on the source equipment. The Sony MDR-XB300 headphones meet all the criteria listed above rather easily to become an outstanding headphone product that trounces its competition in terms of overall sound quality. It is obvious that this Sony product can recreate a live band, studio, or night club musical atmosphere anywhere headphone use is considered appropriate. Lastly, the Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass headphones transmit glorious, full-bodied, and rich sound tones from any stereo component that it is plugged into. Good Luck. Enjoy.

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

I use these for listening to music, PC gaming, and recording. I'd give these a 5/5 any day of the week for all three. The first thing you notice is how comfy they sit on your head. Though they aren't especially snug, so for people who move around a lot may not like that. The weight is excellent. It's comparable to putting a marshmallow on each ear, and listening out of that.

As far as quality goes, the science behind how they get such an amazing tone isn't of the rocket variety. They leave an open area in the middle of the foam padding that acts like a giant funnel for the noise to come out, so you get awesome bass. And I mean AWESOME bass. For DJ's who have a habit to cram the headphones against their head, like their trying to stop water from getting in at all costs will ruin the effect of the headphones by pushing out all that open space inside the headphone.

The cable length might leave some people salty, if they're looking for recording use, but I'm quite happy with it.

Overall, these deserve nothing less than 5 for 5, especially for the quality you get. Worth every penny.

these head phones are amazing, skull candy has head phones with similar prices but seem to be years away. I think that even easily compare to Dr.Dre. durability is good, but i think dr.dre's are better for durability. plus they wont catch your hair when adjusting them, much like most skull candies do.

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

The only reason I didn't give these headphones 2 stars was because of the price. As soon as you turn up the volume, the sound starts distorting. They sound like cheap headphones. On the bright side atleast the bass is good...

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

Love these. The only problem is they're way too comfy that I often fall asleep thinking they're part if my pillow. Of course there I was sarcastic. But yes they are comfy and sound excellent.

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

These Headphones do what their name says they do, kick out some serious bass. I had a pair of older sony's that broke due to an accident. I wanted something a lil better to replace them with and being a big bass head, i gave these lil suckers a try, and they don't disappoint. The sound quality is great, though the bass can overpower the mids and highs on some music, I like to listen to hard rock, techno, and various instrumental tracks and they are just amazing. In the end for the price you pay, these cant be beat if you like your bass loud and booming.

Comments about Sony MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Stereo Headphones:

i can't express any thing because this is the best headphone i ever had at this price tag . it is highly comfortable than any other pc headphone as most of the headphone gives lots of pain to ear after wearing for longer times . Gamer like me can use it in counter strike , COD , etc.
