Sony is one of the leading brand for consumers electronics in the world. Their audio devices are of superior quality. Sony have introduced several new earphones and headphones for the Indian market.
Sony Mdr-XB50 is a medium end in the ear model which is concentrated on the bass lovers of Indian market. Yes, the XB in the model name stands for extra bass.
This device has a 9 mm audio driver which is mostly found on in ear earphones and is able to produce decent sound. But it lacks the clarity that we expect from a 2500 penny earphone. Other than the bass, it fails to impress in all other departments. The cable is 1.2 meter length but is very prone to tangling. It is good to see a remote come mic in this earphone which can be very handy in handling calls and changing tracks. A comparable device is is the soundmagic e10s which is much lower in price but outperforms the Sony in every aspects.
So if neither you are die hard Sony lover nor a bass enthusiastic, you can easily avoid this earphone if you are searching for a decent in ear iem under 2000 rupees.
