  • Step Up to Big Bass

    Let the bass drop. Whether you choose the 30, 40, 50, or 70mm drivers, all Extra Bass headphones share the same mission: Deliver big, booming bass.

  • The Mind Behind the bass

    When asked what inspired the unique style of the headphones, designer Jun Komiyama said, "When I saw a puffy, luxurious, huge sofa I thought, 'Now that?s what I want. "He envisioned a handmade-like heaviness and high-quality impression that's clearly evident in the final result. Mr. Komiyama's main objective was to create a shape that would appeal to lovers of bass-heavy club music and hip-hop. One look at the king-sized ear cushions and you know what's in store.

  • Seriously Low Frequencies, Serious Bass

    To achieve dramatic bass that really moves you, headphones need to produce ultra-low frequencies. As the chart suggests, Extra Bass headphones crush the likes of normal headphones with low levels that make all the difference.

Step up to Sony's long-awaited, high-end MDR-XB700 Extra Bass headphones. Engineered with an oxygen-free copper (OFC) voice coil for clear sound with no degradation, these bad boys were destined for handling high power (3000mW). You will also appreciate the circum-aural, closed-design ear cushions, padded headband and of course the enormous 50mm Extra Bass diaphragm driver units. Includes a carrying pouch to protect your investment.

50mm driver units

Exclusively engineered by Sony, the extra-large 50mm Extra Bass diaphragm driver units accurately reproduce ultra-low frequency sounds and deliver larger than life, rich, deep bass reproduction.

Closed, dynamic design.

Experience the ultimate in comfortable listening with the Extra Bass headphones' over-the head, around the ear circum-aural design. The drivers inside the ear cups are angled parallel to your ears to not only reduce pressure, but increase comfort and deliver an unbelievable listening experience.

Flat Y-type cord.

Minimize tangles while you're on the move with the flat yet durable Y-type 3.9ft. (1.2m) cord. Also includes a gold-plated, L-shaped stereo mini plug.

Direct vibe structure

Built with a direct vibe structure to ensure high audio fidelity, the Extra Bass headphones feature a tightly sealed acoustic design that allows for a high level of sound isolation which reproduces powerful and extended bass sound.

Sound leakage and a loss in audio quality are minimized thanks to a sealed acoustic design. Additionally, the MDR-XB700 headphones have an exceptionally wide frequency response from 3-28,000 Hz.

Oxygen free copper

Designed for a crisp, clear signal with no degradation, the OFC voice coil is made for high power handling capacity (3000mW).

Great sound! I don't care what the headphones look like and I love the sound only problem is that everyone with 20 feet can here what you are listening to perfectly. September 9, 2012
Don't buy Beats!! I just sold my $400 Beats pro studios and these nearly match the bass but with so much clearer midrange and highs, would recommend these over any beats any day April 26, 2012
Bass and clarity for days I've had these headphones for about 6 months now and I'm not sure why I haven't written a review for these yet. Let me tell you that if you plan on getting a pair of these it will be worth it! Note that they are clear and full of bass and prefer these headphones over all my others. It's a worthy investment and I am really glad how sturdy and well they were made. February 14, 2012
The Headphones are SO VERY AWESOME!!!!!!!!! So my review of this product is there very awesome high quality headphones! The sound is AMAZING!!!!! The BASS is like AWESOME!!!!!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!! & for what your getting for the price is just CRAZY!!!! You get a carrying Case with the headphones!!!!! & the headphones WAAAAY BETTER then Dr. Dre's as you save $170 BUCKS!!!!!(Studio) Or ($270 BUCKS if it's the PRO) & They PUMP OUT WAY BETTER & MORE BASS!!!!!! The only con is they really need to get some more padding on the band that goes around your head, but other then that, there AWESOME! & they have PLENTY of padding for your EARS!!!!! I mean, the padding for your ears are big as sleeping pillows, so don't worry about that :) My final review... ALTHOUGH THE COMFORT WITH LACK OF PADDING IS A CON FOR ME... THE HEADPHONES HAVE AN AWESOME PUMPING BASS! HAVE AWESOME SOUND!!!!! AND HAVE A GREAT VALUE!!!!!! WORTH IT!!!!! ESPECIALLY OVER THE DR's Headphones!!!!! February 1, 2012
