The XB series is a series that focuses on the bass effect in Sony's headphone product line. In this series, the XB450AP, which is positioned at the low-end, is more attractive than the high-end models, because it has a rather sophisticated appearance and color matching, and the price is very friendly.

This time we were lucky to get red, yellow, blue, white and black All colors of XB450AP are currently available. In fact, there is a derivative model of XB450B called XB450B on Sony's official website. That model only has a black body. The difference between the two is that XB450B has electronic low-frequency gain, while XB450AP has no electronic gain but has microphone and remote control. The price of the two models is also different.

The side color of the five color boxes is also different.

On the front of the packing box, three words with emphasis on bass are written in big black boldface... It feels a bit swaggering.

Parameters are on the back of the box, and the remote control supports iPhone Android， There is even a BlackBerry (but no Windows Phone).

The packing box is a double-layer design, and the inside is a black paper box.

Open the paper box and you can see the very fussy earphones.

The 30mm diaphragm used by the XB450AP, the unit shell and head beam are made of plastic materials, the panel at the LOGO on the shell surface has concentric wire drawing treatment, the head beams of the red, blue and yellow models are gray, and the black and white models correspond to the black and white head beams. The plastic parts are basically frosted, and the touch and overall workmanship are very good 。

The top of the unit will have a vent for low frequency.

In terms of wearing comfort, the XB450AP uses ear pressing design, so its overall comfort is not as good as that of ear covering design. The elasticity of the head beam is properly adjusted, and the ear pads are also very soft, but even so, the overall comfort is still not very friendly to users wearing glasses.  

The ear pad should be made of artificial leather, and its tactility is not as delicate as that of the leather above 1ABT. I don't know whether it has enough resistance to sweat. If there is dirt, it can be cleaned by wiping it with a soft cloth. It is not difficult to take care of it, but the users of earphones at this price can take a lot of effort to take care of them.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that five colors of earphones will correspond to five colors of wire controls and cables "Noodle" type design, even if it is grasped and rubbed, there will be no tangled knots.

The head beam is still quite long after being unfolded, and the damping feel is rather harsh, which basically conforms to the texture of this price.

Concentricity of surface The quality of the round wire is good, and it doesn't look like a low-end headset that costs less than 300 yuan.

The overall workmanship of the XB450AP is pretty good. The head beam has an obvious sense of plastic (can the plastic not be obvious), but the overall structure does not have uncomfortable loosening and shaking.

As for dirt resistance, the white model is not dirt resistant. Other models Everything was OK.

My personal favorite is red and yellow, very coquettish.

Black looks a little cool, suitable for men, while white is a bit aesthetical, and girls wear better.

As for the blue version, it is more gender neutral.

It is not difficult to drive the XB450AP. The mobile phone can be easily driven.

The XB450AP earphone is not a earphone focusing on high sound quality, but a earphone focusing on heavy bass effect. Although this kind of propaganda slogan is somewhat Taobao style, we have to deny that its overall bass gain effect is very obvious, which is much larger than many other earphones, and has a strong sense of rhythm when listening to hip-hop and dance music, For many users who are used to the original earphones of mobile phones, the first word of verbs is still very catchy, but for those who are picky about the ears, the earphones have nothing more than verbs.

As for the price, Sony's official preferential price is 399 yuan, while the price on Taobao is generally below 300 yuan, the highest price is not more than 350 yuan, and the lowest price is close to 250 yuan. There must be other earphones with higher quality than the XB450AP at this price, but in terms of appearance, there are really few more attractive earphones, so the targeted consumers of this earphone, It should be young people who like cool appearance, enjoy hip-hop music, and hope to find a pair to replace the original headset of mobile phones.

After all, it's only 300 yuan. What kind of bike do you want?
