Sound Story

Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers produce a broad

and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. SONY

Balanced Armature drivers

are tuned for higher or lower frequency response and combined to emphasize certain sound

characteristics.

Balanced Armature Driver

Newly developed micro-size driver units (full-range + woofer + tweeter) deliver smooth and

clear vocals with rich, powerful bass and detailed high frequencies. Get reacquainted with your

favorite music.

Made for iPod®/iPhone®/iPad®

Full integration for iPod

, iPhone

and iPad

The in-line remote gives you volume and track

controls (Play, Stop, Next/Prior) for iPod

, iPhone

or iPad

, and the built-in microphone makes it

easy to take calls through it all.

VoiceOver support

The simple press of a button activates VoiceOver mode, where the iPod

states the name of the

currently playing song or
playlist (on enabled devices).

Double Layer Housing

It’s in the details… A special, high strength magnesium inner housing provides necessary rigidity

for smooth frequency response, while an ABS outer housing suppresses vibrations for clear mid-

high range sound reproduction.

Wearing Comfort

The smaller size of the Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows an improved fit inside the ear for

better, long-term comfort. This attenuates outside sounds better than headphones with Dynamic

drivers, resulting in a superior listening experience.

Noise Blocking Design

Sony

XBA-Series Earbuds provide a comfortable fit that also results in significantly lower sound

leakage levels both in or out, allowing you uninterrupted access to your music.

Secure Fit

Hybrid silicone earbuds, in 4 sizes, allow for a tailored fit that further maximizes overall sound

quality and comfort.

Noise Attenuation

Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide an outstanding fit,

but utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.
