Sony has announced the launch of its new XB series of headphones with the claims that they create "a heavy club vibe with rich, powerful bass you can really feel".
Apparently standing for "extra bass", the EB, sorry, XB range is said to reproduce ultra-low frequencies without compromising crystal-clear midrange vocals and high frequency sounds.
There are five models in the range, topped by the "premium" closed-type MDR-XB700 with an extra-large 50mm dome-type driver that is "sumptuously crafted from synthetic leather".
The MDR-XB500 and 300 also share the closed-type design with "king-size cushioning" while the in-ear MDR-XB40EX and MDR-XB20EX get a "direct vibe" acoustic design that's said to minimise sound spillage.
The XB series of headphones with "extended bass" will be available from March 2009.
