BASS FRIENDLY
MDR-XB550AP 01/08/2017 by Bass Head (USA)
The headphones are fantastic. just got them a few weeks ago and the headphones don't let you miss out on anything. the sickest thing about them is that they rumble with bass. Sony has defeated Beats entirely. it would be cool if i could test all of Sony's headphones and leave reviews but thats a lot of money. maybe one day. Sony keep up the great work.

Great bass, lacks midrange
MDR-XB550AP 15/11/2017 by boijo (USA)
Great build quality. Pretty sturdy. Nice cable! Bass is great, but these headphones seriously lack midrange, it makes the songs sound pretty bleh. They look more expensive than they are. These headphones are more suitable for trap and hip hop. Excellent headphones other than the midrange issue that is a dealbreaker. I would not purchase these headphones again.

Not bad indeed
MDR-XB550AP 04/03/2018 (Canada)
Now to start, I’ve owned top of the range Bose speakers which is probably the best sound you can get for the price. I needed new ones so I got these and I think the sound is nearly just as good. So for the price, you can’t expect anymore. So go ahead and buy them. But if want leather and better sound spend more money. But stick with Sony. Supreme Japanese design.

Sound Quality is Great. If I Stand Still.
MDRXB550AP/B 10/01/2018 by MarieJ (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I've had these for 2 days and something is clearly wrong with them. If I move the wire while playing music (stand up, sit down, walk) or something so much as brushes across the base of it, the sound fades and I start to hear static. Phone calls aren't half as bad with the sound but, there's definitely still some static. The padding on the right side is also a little uncomfortable and I can't wear them for very long. When I can hear it, the sound quality for music is actually really good. But, overall, I'm simply just not happy with these headphones.

My wife purchased these for me today for music/gaming, the sound is incredible and blows the doors off my older set. Extra bass sounds wonderful!

Good simple headset
MDR-XB550AP 11/12/2017 (USA)
The cound is clear. Others can hear me well. I can even use it in the gym to hear the TV. It does not totally block out sound which is good when you are driving. I can use it with my hearing aid. But the instructions have little to do with the actual headset and the app does nothing at all on my Android.

Headphone jack broke within 1 month
MDR-XB550AP 27/11/2017 by ohwell (Canada)
Headphone jack separated in the middle of the pin segments after one month of normal use. This is considered a physical defect and not covered under warranty.

Excellent sound and isolation
MDR-XB550AP 21/11/2017 by James101 (USA)
I bought these headphones to replace my XB-400s and I can definitely say that the XB-550s are far better. The headphones cover the ears completely, isolate the music and the bass/sound quality made every brain cell in my head vibrate with joy(after adapting them in the software, of course). The only thing that I hoped for was compatibility of the integrated microphone with Windows 10, which sadly is nonexistent. But other than that, I can't complain about a thing.

MDRXB550AP/B 10/11/2017 by Wyatt_Earp5 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Was going to buy some Beats but found the audio for these to be better and much cheaper. They jam and since I'm a bass person they give me the acoustics I desire.
