MDR-XB450

This model was created specifically for listeners who prefer on-ear models, which are larger and do not cut off most of the external sounds, but at the same time are more comfortable and often of better quality than in-ear models. It is for this category of buyers that this stylish and attractive model is designed by Sony. Sony MDR-XB450AP headphones are available in five colours: black, white, yellow, red and blue.

But the colour variability is conditional, all colour options have a dark grey headband, only the light of the bowls changes radically. The ear cushions are soft, under the pressure of the headband, they take the shape of the ears and improve noise isolation. This model uses 1.2m double-sided noodle wire, which is highly elastic and not prone to tangle at all. On the wire is a remote control with a microphone that turns the headphones into a headset. Official guarantee for 12 months.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Sony MDR-XB450AP headphones are praised for their excellent sound quality, particularly for bass-heavy music genres like dubstep, providing a juicy and powerful bass. Users appreciate the comfortable design with swiveling earcups and flat cables that resist tangling. The headphones are noted for their good sound insulation and sturdy build, with a design that stays securely on the head. While the dual-sided cable connection is seen as a minor inconvenience, the overall price-to-quality ratio is highly regarded. Some users mention the need for an equalizer to balance the sound for classical music. The headphones are lightweight, making them comfortable for extended use, though the plastic components may be prone to wear with rough handling. Overall, the Sony MDR-XB450AP is recommended for its reliable performance and stylish appearance.

great model, love it
14 April 2015 
I have never regretted choosing this model. The sound is simply amazing, perfect for dubstep! Good sound insulation, you can’t hear anyone or anything. The design is great! I took the blue model, it looks great. The flat cable doesn't get twisted or tangled. It is clear that he is not going to fight. And the length is just right, just enough to reach your trouser pocket without straining. When folded, the headphones take up very little space. They stay on the head like they were glued and have never fallen off. And my ears don't hurt afterwards. There is a remote control.
There is only one drawback and it’s a minor one. It’s a pity that the wires are connected on both sides, it would be better on one side, it’s more convenient.

For Low Bass Must Have
27 December 2015 
For modern music - an excellent budget solution, if you like classics, then it’s also not bad, but you need to do some magic with the equalizer.. the output quality is excellent.. Students! Look here! Managers, look too! This is the option when both the design and quality surprise compared to the price..
They look good, I thought that the cups would be smaller, in the end they cover the ear perfectly, the sound insulation is perfect, I checked with a friend, I tested the subject and its phillips, in the subject you can’t hear what a person is listening to, absolutely. And now their main advantage! Really juicy bass on low music, like skrillex, until I listened to it, I didn’t understand what the BONUS was. And the bonus here is very nice))) I really got a kick out of the juicy, fatty, clean-jumping BASS)) They say that the disk on the bowl is not made of aluminium (maybe you have a fake), take it to a cold place for a while, the temperature difference is immediately noticeable (plastic is much more warmer). Mine is definitely made of metal)
Did not like the overpowering highs and mids with bass if you're listening to classical and instrumental music. Due to the thickness of the bass (without an equalizer), a lot of things turn into a mushy mass of sounds. You have to really listen carefully. It can be fixed with any gadget that has an equalizer. They could have made the "SONY" logo with metallic letters instead of paint)))
just bought Sony MDR-XB450AP
You can buy it, a normal model.

They produce excellent sound from all sources (tablet, smartphone, laptop, even a push-button phone), that’s why I took it so that I could listen anywhere, the cable is not too long, it’s convenient, it’s great for travel, it’s bassy, I recommend checking out Panasonic dj 300, pioneer mj 721, good models in this price range, I’ve been using them for a month now, I hope they will serve.
Well made. Thick wire and generally excellent assembly. Excellent bass.
They play like all headphones of this class, no worse and no better, noise isolation is 4, the ears need to get used to it, it’s not comfortable at first, there are no critical comments. I would like to use at least the cheapest paralon for the headband, but it can be survivable.

All laptops have a built-in speaker system. However, in most cases, its sound leaves much to be desired, plus the sounds of the built-in speakers themselves can interfere with people nearby. The perfect and stylish solution to the problem with sound is the Sony MDR-XB450AP headphones with a microphone. You can choose this model in bright youth colours: red, yellow, blue and white; a more traditional version of this acoustics is also offered - in discreet black. Headphones are very stable to stay on the head due to the excellent elasticity of the pressing plastic headband. At the same time, the bowls can be rotated 90 degrees, which makes this model compact and flat, making it easy to fit in a laptop bag or backpack.

It sounds proud

The outer embossed metal surface of the bowls is not prone to picking up fingerprints. This allows the headphones to maintain their proper aesthetic appearance even with intensive use. The inner ear cushions are quite dense, but at the same time, the filler easily takes the shape of the auricle, so that even a long stay in the headphones does not cause discomfort. And for sound reproduction, very decent 30 mm speakers with neodymium magnets are responsible here. They are famously transmit not only the middle range, but also give out quite a powerful and rich bass.

The convenience of use

The 1.2 m cable allows you to comfortably use the headphones with almost any laptop. Of the additional advantages, the Sony MDR-XB450AP has a remote control with which you can control the smartphone player and answer calls while the laptop is traveling in a bag next to you.
