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.

I got them as a birthday gift and they're good when it comes to the sound. But it's been about a year and a half and the insides of it are already ripping. Not very durable... (they started wearing off just weeks after I started using them)

Great, but...
MDR-XB550AP 16/03/2021 (USA)
I used to have a pair of these headsets for about 5 years and loved them. They were awesome to play a war game with or to watch a movie with. Unfortunately though, they broke at the swivel point. I would recommend this product but you got to handle it with care like it’s your great great grandmother’s punch bowl. If you had the spare time and were crafty, you could make something to strengthen the pivot point so they don’t break as easily.

MDR-XB550AP 30/12/2020 by Jkwk (Canada)
I beat the living hell out of these headphones and they have survived much longer than any previous headphones I have owned would have. Sound quality isn't revolutionary, basis all right. Good for gaming.

MDR-XB550AP 04/09/2020 by LTJackTTV (Canada)
There's 2 things I love from the XB550AP. First of all, the sound quality and the extra bass. Secondly, the fact that it cover the exterior sound. I can concentrate on the music and I use 'em to game also.

Great Headphones!
MDR-XB550AP 13/08/2020 by TroyDesargo (USA)
I've bought these headphones 3 years ago and they have been working perfectly ever since. The only issue I've experienced was the casing of the cup tearing after long term usage. However, 3 years is a long time. The sound is what I like the most. You can still hear your surroundings, which makes these headphones safe for a crowded area or an industrial site. I would surely recommend buying these headphones.

MDR-XB550AP 31/05/2020 by MDR XB550 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I purchased these headphones a few weeks ago for listening to music on my MacBook Pro and they have exceeded my expectations. Superb bass and clear audio no matter what you’re listening to. Only downside I have found is that the ear cups can make the top of your ears hurt as if they are being squeezed if worn for long periods of time other than that they’re a great pair of headphones at a reasonable price.

I bought this almost a month ago, and I am very happy with its performance so far. The chord is tangle-free, and it has actually lived up to the name. it is great to use with some devices that require plugging in, or that do not have bluetooth. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

Best headphones i've ever owned.
MDR-XB550AP 24/12/2019 by davidmtb56 (Canada)
I bought these headphones around 4-5 months ago. I wear headphones almost all day, and these were comfortable. These are on-ear headphones, so occasionally my ears would get sore. The sound quality is phenomenal, and the bass is punchy. There are easily comparable to another pair of bose's that costed twice the amount of this one. Sadly, these headphones don't have good clamping force on my head, so if the cable gets caught on anything, these will actually go flying across the room. I was bending down, and while i stood up, the cable got caught on my left knee and sent the headphones off my head, pretty hard into the ground. That was the last time the headphones worked. I'm giving it 4 stars only because of the clamping force problem. If you are going to be doing anything with these headphones besides sitting in an office chair, then I would recommend spending 50$ more to get some headphones with better build quality.
