"Must have for audio purists."
Pros
Vocals, instruments and everything sounds natural.
Overall sound quality is great.
Cons
Noise isolation is pretty good but could have been better.

When i first got my hands on SONY XBA3, thought for the first time "damn! what's this crap" cause i didn't knew what real definition of music is for i was a basshead before and also cause this is my first BA. But after giving this some shots of heavy metal songs i realized what really instruments sounds like, the real feel of guitars n vocals with so much depth n separation. Almost i can feel bass, highs and vocals separately. Yeah compared to dynamics in ear's low bass isn't that much but still it do its job nicely, bass has its different feel in BA i mean it's so natural. And where it shines are mids n highs n even more music sounds like how exactly it should be.
Fitting in ears is quite nice n comfortable too that even when my music is off sometimes i forget i have my earphones on. Cords don't really get entangled too but i guess thats not d main feature.
When i first showed it to my friends they laughed on me saying "u wasted your money on just headphones" huh poor souls they just don't know anything.
Overall it's a cool value for money and i recommend it only to those who really are into music n want natural sounding earphone who really care for sound quality rather than bass.
