Absolutely the worst Sony earphones I have ever had.
Opened the box, pluggen into my Walkman X, and the result is... total disappointment!
Low bass, low treble.
Even HPM-77 which comes along with Sony Ericsson MW600 sounds a lot more better.
Made comparison with Sony earphones which I have: MDR-EX310, MDR-EX50, HPM-77 (Sony Ericsson), MDR-NC020, and MDR-E10LP. I can sort the headphones by the sound quality (from best to worst) as following:
1.MDR-EX310
2.HPM-77
3.MDR-EX50
4.MDR-NC020
5.XBA-1
6.MDR-E10LP
As you can see, XBA-1 in a long distance from the first place.
PLEASE, NOTE: This is my personal opinion. Anyway, one should go to Sonystyle shop and try the earphones to make the final judgement.
It was my mistake that I preordered the earphones.
Cause I would never have bought these earphones if I had listened them before buying.
Adn who knows, may be I was unlucky enough to get defected earphones? Someday I will go to Sonystyle and check if all XBA-1s sound like the one I have got.
