                               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.

                               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.
