"Over the past 4 years, my beautiful Sony mdr-xb500s had served me faithfully and gave me a lot of confidence in the quality of Sony audio products. However, one side started to develop an incurable rattle at certain low frequencies and I decided that it was time to replace them.

First impression of these Cans were not very shocking. It was like another type of Headphones that sound good! But as you continue to listen to it, you realize many factors. Lets dig! MATERIAL: The quality of this set is really nice! it feels really sturdy and bearable to many circumstances.
