Sony MDR-XD100 HIFI

I think that these headphones are great value for money, they are very comfortable and light on your head, they cover the whole ear too. The sound Quality is good, al long as you do not play heavy bass songs, like dub step, not that I'm in to that music, but it was a test, when experiencing high bass songs, you may notice that the Bass is somewhat distorted, that was a disappointment for me because everything else is Very good. The bass problem really lets the headphones down, it is bearable but it's dodgy bass, the only way to explain this is to try it yourself! overall a very good set of headphones despite the Bass problem, if you listen to chart music and smooth music, R&b it's a very good choice, just be careful with the Bassy tunes!

The Sony MDR-XD100 Stereo headphones:

I was looking for a pair of headphones that were:

Sony brand

Not too expensive

Long cable.

Covered the ears (i get bruised ears otherwise)

I got all four in one, but I was disapointed with the sound quality. My expierience with Sony audio has always been fantastic, and I continue to believe that this brand is the best, but this particular product was below what I percieve as 'sony' standards.

I can't recall how much they cost, but I would not pay more than 30 AUD for these. The construction is strong enough, the cable is ok even after being run over by the wheels on my chair all the time. The cable length is great, I can walk around and pick things up and sit back down without having to remove them. My ears just fit inside so I dont get bruised ear even after hours of game-play.

The problem is base repoduction, it seems to distort very easily, and in general the 'clarity' of the audio is more muffled than I would have liked.

I dont regret buying this product, but next time I'll try out some other models.

The Sony MDR-XD100 HIFI are generally a good set of headphones on a budget, but not for professional use..
