Having a massive driver unit for the size of the speaker housing, at 30 mm the MDR-XB450 surely packs a punch. These over-ears blast your eardrums and deliver unparalleled sound that is very clear. Whatever your playlist maybe, it is going to sound exceptionally great!
The earcups are padded well with ultra thick pressure relieving soft earpads. Sony has taken great effort in ensuring that the padding is lightweight and doesn't hurt your head or ears. Even the headband is cushioned for a snug fit. They have an uber cool sheen and the back plate of each ear cup has a metallic finish.
Its serrated cord keeps those annoying tangles away making them a perfect fit for Music enthusiasts on the go. Moreover, flat cables increase the durability of the headphones, making them last longer than usual.
The XB450AP comes with a universally compatible in-line microphone and remote for a seamless control experience. You can now control music playback and take calls from your phone using the XB450AP.
It has a folding design as well which makes it easy to carry around everywhere. Apart from offering portable comfort it also looks pretty sleek and will allow you to make an elegant style statement. Fold them flat and place them into your bag, and you are good to go.

I bought 3 of these in less than a month cos friends who borrowed never returned them.
Cool sound, Enviable style
Good pair of headphones...really nice bass with clear sounds....noise isolation is great aswell...however extended periods of usage might cause pain in ears as the headphone cups sit over the ears and don't entirely cover them.
Hey Pratik! Thank you for the review :) You can post a picture of you wearing the product on instagram with a hastag #headphonezone and we will be featuring you :)
Sony - MDR-XB450
Hey Arun! We love 4 stars too but didn't that extra boosted bass impressed you?
Sound quality is good, bass is okay, treble is low. Design is good, makes people turn their heads. Noise cancellation is okay. As I am regular headphone user for work as well as for play, I feel it is pretty comfortable to spend long hours without your ears hurting. I have used better headphones of the same brand for lesser price, but this all depends on the "eye of the beholder." I feel it is okay. Thanks for the good service headphone service, received it faster than expected. Great work guys !!
Hello Sean, thank you for shopping at our store. We value your encouragement and are glad that you liked your headphones. Please do visit us again soon. :)
I am basically an ardent lover of headphone/earphone. I am happy with its specified performance and its warranty offer offered by SONY(THE SOUND). Thank you headphone zone for helping me purchasing this headphone in a good price deal!! way more to purchase smarter headphones at a good price deal soon.ALL THE BEST HEADPHONE ZONE!!! EXCELLENT!!
Build is excellent. Audio quality is exceptional (P.S.: I'm not an audiophile). Although these aren't 'over-ear', they don't strain the ears even after prolonged usage (courtesy, the incredible cushion-like feel of the earcups).
Simply the best for the first timers in terms of its designs and spendid colors which makes it standout from other. Good audio clarity.
We are glad that you liked them overall. It will even make you stand out of the crowd ;)
