I have been given the opportunity to review the Sony MDR-XB600. XB stands for Extra Bass. I am usually not a fan of any extra bass headsets. I do prefer neutral sounding headphones and I tend to listen to the music as close to how the artist produced it. It means no equalization at all. I am also a headset freak; I own more than a dozen of them, ranging from in-ears to around the ears. I had to search for headphones to compare the Sony with. As I have no X-Bass, I had to narrow my comparative selection to a similar range of price and over the ears as this one. I selected the TDK ST-70 and Creative Live Aurvana which are both sold for just under 0. I previously gave both these headphones a 4 star rating and I will certainly update both reviews with this comparative one. Since I am comparing a new headset to used ones, I also took the time to break-in the Sony for about 120 hours by letting it play constantly on my stereo at home with white and pink noises plus a selection of d iverse music.In order to compare effectively the three models, I will use my Iphone unamplified since they are meant for portable use. The tracks I will use are those that I always use when trying to compare headphones, because I love them first but also because I know how they should sound and more importantly because they provide a good sample of music genres and tonalities. The tracks will be the following: - Ultrasone Sound test Siley Put short (Jazz, Binaural recording perfect for localization of sounds). - Ultrasone sound test Wellen track 7 (sound of water waves perfect for the head stage definition). - Frank Sinatra: How insensitive (Jazz, good also for localization of sounds). - Robin Thicke: Lost Without you (Perfect for the voice testing). - Pink Floyd: Astronomy Domine (Rock and excellent also for the localization of sounds). - DJ Magic Mike: Feel the Bass (Infra-Bass, enough said...) will be played from my computer becau se it is missing on the Iphone. But first, let's start with the non musical parts: Comfort: All 3 headphones are over the ears headphones. The Sony are the most comfortable with a nice padding. They swivel at 90 degrees. Yet, after a while, the faux leather tend to stick to my ears with sweat. The CLA are fairly light, do swivel at about 45 degrees but the fit is not quite right. The TDK barely move and clamp my ears fairly tight. Conclusion: Sony: 1st. CLA: 2nd. TDK: 3rd Portability: The Sony will fold to be reduced to about half of their original size. The CLA do not fold. The TDK will fold like reading glasses do. As for carrying them around your neck, none is very nice to carry this way but the worst are the CAL (they strangle me a bit). Conclusion: Sony: 1st. CLA: 2nd. TDK: 1st Construction quality and appearances: The Sony do look good. I like the two tones (Black and brown). I like the flat cables which should tangle much less than the normal ones. I would have liked it to be attached to only one ear though. The left and right are easy to spot and the construction feels solid. The CLA look a little plasticky. The faux-leather is nice and soft. They still feel solid and the left and right are ok. The cable is standard, attaching to both ears. The TDK feels like a tank. It is the design I like the least and it looks like of the Beats. The cables do tangle a lot. I had hard time to find the left and right by daylight. Conclusion: Sony: 1st. CLA: 2nd. TDK: 3rd Sound Isolation: All these headsets are isolating fairly well but neither will provide a perfect isolation for a plane trip. In such case, nothing beats IEM with foam like the Shure E530. All 3 are still considered as portable headphones and can be used in reasonably loud environments. Conclusion: Sony: 1st. CLA: 1st. TDK: 1st Now, let's come to the real important part of this test: the sound. I am partial to a large head stage and as natural a sound as possible. I like analytical headphones and my rating will be influenced by this factor. I still like good bass (I am a hip-hop fan) but not exaggerated ones... Ok, let's start: - Ultrasone Sound test Siley Put short (Jazz, Binaural recording perfect for localization of sounds). As expected, the Sony's bass is a bit too present for me. The other's bass is present but with less amphasis. As for the head stage, none is as good as I would have wished. - Ultrasone sound test Wellen track 7 (sound of water waves perfect for the head stage definition). All 3 headphones are giving a nice sense of distance with this track. The water sounds are well restituted. I would give a slight advantage to the CLA. - Frank Sinatra: How insensitive (Jazz, good also for localization of sounds). The Sony are visibly not meant for Jazz, the bass overshadowing the rest. Th e TDK sounds nice but with the mids a bit too...

My first try was with Sony MDRZX600. They sounded very warm and were great for high's and mids, but the lows were lacking and you needed to listen on full volume for them to sound good. I decided to return them and try the Sennheiser 439. The volume on the Sennheiser sounded much richer, but the volume was too low and that was a deal breaker for me.I went to Bestbuy set on getting the Sony V55's. Luckily, they head both the MDRXB600 right next to the V55's. After spending about 15 minutes listening to both, I thought the low's on the XB600 sounded better and the headband had more padding. I brought the XB600's home, plugged them into my Nexus 7 and I couldn't believe how great they sounded. TI listened to Bob Marley Legends album and these head phones sound incredible. The bass is tight and pronounced, but not muddy like the Dr. Drye's I'm very happy with these and I'm very glad my head phone hunt is over. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Great audio, somewhat painful fit, By This review is from: Sony MDR-XB600 Extra Bass 40mm Driver Headphones (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Like other reviewers, I was under the impression from the photo that these were over the ear headphones -- the kind that encompass your ear rather than sitting right on them. The audio is very crisp and clean, and the bass is awesome, so I do appreciate these headphones for those qualities. Unfortunately, since they are kind of hefty, I find that the weight and pressure of them makes my ears hurt after a fairly short period of use. The design, however, is pretty cool. They have an all-around stylish look to them, and they fold up very neatly. |
