Sony MDR XB300


Review by TIM GIDEON

If you haven't heard, there's a new trend in inexpensive earphones and headphones: Pile on the bass. Sony's new XB line features affordable in-ear and headphone models, and the MDR-XB300 ($49.99 list) is an alluring option for anyone on a tight budget who wants deep bass and big yet lightweight, cushiony headphones. Audiophiles, though, can stop reading here, because there's nothing "accurate" about these headphones. The low end is boosted dramatically, and the high-frequency response is oddly sculpted. Low-end lovers who listen to a lot of rap, rock, or electronic music, on the other hand, should give this inexpensive, good-looking pair a listen.
