If headphones are your fashion statement, those are great. If you are bass head that just needs high quantity of bass, those are good. If you want refined, controlled bass skip those ones. They respond very good to EQ, especially if you boost highs and lower bass.

Only bass quality is quantity

Simply listening to all kinds of genre of good music and occasionally watching movies on my tablet, and especially now with these AWESOME new headphones...certainly a great deal for the money and backed by a very reputable brand name.

Comfortable; Durable; Good Bass; Good Value; Great Sound; Lightweight; Stylish

None to my knowledge

The Sony MDR-XB450BV are £70 headphones out to blast your eardrums into oblivion with seriously powerful bass. But they are not just ordinary headphones, hardware-wise. They can function as a normal pair with a bit of a bass emphasis but nothing too out of the ordinary.

Bass you can feel is a thrill at first; Decent styling; Good noise isolation for an on-ear set

Low-grade bass boost fidelity; Weak mid-range detail and texture; Not worth the extra over non-BV model

Pleased with the product the sound with the enhanced base tone is very good and headphones are comfortable to wear. It's a good idea to have choice of colour

I hate this product it went broke and the 3.5 jack also went broke

probably the best 16ohm-phone-music i this price ..

The headphone sports a metallic finish on the ear-cups and is available in five other colors – black, white, red, blue and yellow, all in a stylish metal housing. In addition to the high music quality, MDR-XB450 sports a slim, swivel folding style allowing for convenient storage in a bag, briefcase...

music is good but due to absense of microphone it seems not good as communication cant be smooth without microphone.

Best bass headphones... It looks cool.. Sound quality 10 out of 8. In this price it's awesome man. Turn on full bass it Massages your ear haha I'm not kidding. Honestly it's great..

After reading many positive comments about these headphones, and my own recently broken, I decided to test them. Actually, I had thought of driving a lot more expensive, but when the reviews were so good I thought I was chasing.
