High quality
Inexpensive Sony models of recent years have periodically had a problem with the quality of construction or the use of cheap plastic, but this is a completely different story. The XB550AP are very high quality and well made, they look great and sit comfortably on your head. I especially like the oversized cups with soft and slightly rough ear cushions that take the shape of the wearer's ears. In models in this price category, plastic headbands without cushioning are often found. In general, there are at least questions about quality and ergonomics. Although the fit on the head could have been more secure, the earbuds can move or slip off completely if the head is turned sharply. They are not very suitable for sports.
Stylish trendy youth
Well, the XB550AP look great, if you don’t know that we have a model for more than 40 dollars, then they are easy to confuse with much more expensive models from the company like the WH-H900N. Moreover, this applies to any of the five colours, and not just red, which flashes on advertising booklets and reviews. The design looks practical and casual, but their appearance has its own “zest” — the predominance of smoothly curved monochromatic painted flat surfaces. Even the cable is the same colour as the headphones.
Max Bass
The 30mm dome speakers are perfect for playing bass compositions, of course, ignoring the existence of any other musical genres in nature other than techno, hip-hop, drum and bass or dubstep. Their bass is expectedly powerful, tight and assertive. But what's great is that although it dominates the rest of the frequencies, it does so gently and unobtrusively, without tiring the ears. In general, the sound of the MDR-XB550AP is surprisingly collected and full-bodied. For example, the upper frequencies are slightly lacking in detail, but this is perceived not as a drawback, but as a character trait. Also, good noise isolation gives additional weight to the bass — others do not hear what is playing at you, and you do not hear what is happening around you.
