Sony MDR-XB450 Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Blue

After trying two other headphones I am very happy with this headphones. It feels good on my ears and doesn't feel tight.
Nice well made headphones. I did think the casing would be an alloy but it is just plastic.
They are comfortable to wear and are strong enough to keep in my handbag.
Just to give a perspective: I have a smaller than average ears. These fit fantastically!!
Very comfy if you intent to wear for long periods of time which I do, which is a common issue with these type of headphones.

Sony MDR-XB950AP Premium Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Black

Although a litte heavier on the head than my previous headphones, the fit over my ears is excellent
Only just started using these but it’s a great sound and a comfortable fit over my ears
These headphones lasted me 3 years and 6 months, and I am VERY rough with headphones (I've never had a pair of headphones last me more than a year prior to these).
Nice snug fit on the ears with an easily adjustable headband. Good sound with a mute button.
Not to mention they aren't too tight but manage to stay on my head while i run with no issue and they are the most soft, comfortable over the ear headphones i have owned.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony MDR-XB450 Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Blue

I used to have extra bass in-ear phones (also by Sony), but these overhead ones deliver far more punch.
You can hear notes that you cannot hear with standard earphones
It doesn't feel like it will fall apart in my hand! the built in mic is very useful as well.
All aspects of the sound is perfect, better than Beats by far, very lightweight and comfy
I have plugged them into my phone to test and the inbuilt microphone on the cable is clear too.

Sony MDR-XB950AP Premium Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Black

I have had these headphones for 3 years now, and these things are indestructable. I have accidentally left them in the rain for 2 days, had them fall out of my 4th floor window, took them with me every trip i was going and had them packed in a scientifically impossible way.
Great bass sound for this set. Works well with PC Desktop-Samsung Mobile and Amazon Fire
There was a tester in currys in which I tried on & plugged my phone in & the sound quality was top notch
Comfortable Sony Headphones with great sound are a quality product
The extra bass is exceptional and the clarity is very good indeed.
