Bumped up bass.

Step up from the XBA-1 with these XBA-2 Balanced Armature in-ear headphones—which feature a full-range driver plus woofer for enhanced bass with impressive depth. These premium in-ear headphones sport Sony's newly developed Balanced Armature driver units precision engineered for music enjoyment. Revel in incredibly crisp vocals, buffed out bass and a remarkably balanced high to low frequency response for the ultimate earbud listening experience.

  • Sensational Sound

    Designed for discerning audiophiles, XBA Series in-ear headphones are outfitted with Sony's newly developed Balanced Armature driver units engineered for crisp, balanced sound of incredible depth and precision. Infused with premium audio technology, even the most subtle musical nuances are delivered with tremendous clarity and detail.

  • Balanced Armature Drivers

    Compared to conventional dynamic drivers, two Balanced Armature drivers (full range and woofer) deliver crystal-clear vocals and profound bass. Plus, these micro-sized drivers are meticulously pre-tuned by Sony engineers to reproduce a balanced high to low frequency response and emphasize key sound characteristics to enhance your music.

  • Double Layer Housing

    A specially made inner housing constructed of high strength magnesium holds the driver units rigidly in place for super smooth frequency response. Enclosed in an ABS outer housing that suppresses unwanted vibrations, this innovative double layer design delivers crystal-clear mid to high range sound and overall crisp, rich audio.

  • Long Lasting Comfort

    Because Balanced Armature drivers sport an ultra compact design for a smaller overall form factor, they slip easily inside the ear for a snug, more natural-feeling fit. The result? Reduced ambient noise and long-lasting comfort and wearability—even after hours of
    non-stop listening.

  • Noise Blocking Design

    Lock in the sounds of your favorite songs, and block out disruptive background noise. Because Sony XBA Series in-ear headphones boast a noise-blocking design and a snug, comfortable fit, they prevent sound leakage—both in and out of the ear—so you can enjoy your music without annoying your neighbor, and get lost in a distraction-free listening experience.

  • Secure Fit

    With four sizes of hybrid silicone and three sizes of noise isolating ear cushions included, you can choose the best fit for your ears to maximize overall sound quality and comfort. With the perfect-fitting pair, your XBA Series in-ear headphones stay securely in place—even during strenuous exercise—while keeping ambient background noise at bay.

Delve into a divine audio experience with these premium XBA-2 Balanced Armature in-ear headphones. Meticulously pre-tuned by Sony engineers, these newly developed driver units work in concert to bring you remarkably balanced high to low frequency response and a full range of rich, sensational sound. With an added woofer for enhanced bass response, get deep, penetrating lows that rumble with intensity—a specially crafted magnesium housing keeps unwanted vibrations at bay.

Sound Story

Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers reproduce a smooth, broad, and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. Sony® Balanced Armature drivers can even be tuned for higher or lower frequency response, as well as combined to emphasize certain sound characteristics.

Wearing Comfort

The ultra-compact design of a Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows for a natural in-ear fit which translates to better, long-term comfort.

Noise Attenuation

Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide an outstanding fit, but also utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.

Double Layer Housing

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.

Secure Fit

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

Balanced Armature Driver

Newly developed micro-size driver units (full-range + woofer) reproduce smooth and clear vocals and rich, powerful bass. Get reacquainted with your favorite music.

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.

XBA-2 3 5 1 1
Fun while it lasted Better than the XBA3s that I returned, but not the same quality as a pair of image S4A (android). I've used this head phones for 3 months before giving it to my cousins. They aren't the world's best at this price point, but look very cool. The headphones tend to tangle alot and can garner distortion if you don't loop them around your ears. September 14, 2012
