[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508577552734","data":"Let me be clear about one thing, Bose has ruined every other headphone or earphones brand out there for me with a few notable exceptions, like the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro or a few offerings from the Sennheiser stable, but that is a story for another time. Today, we review the Sony MDR-XB55 In-Ear Earphones, widely available - for some unfathomable reason - across many an electronics store across the city. So if you ever wanted to pick up a pair without ordering online, simply walk into your nearest Reliance Digital. <\/p>These particular pairs of earphones, also known as Extra bass for their trademark extra base which packs quite a powerful punch even with its relatively small size, are also quite popular due to their ease of availability, but I've never actually tested them to see how they fair in a fair test. So I spent a couple of days with a pair, including taking it for my morning walk and then using it at work, the following are my very short but concise thoughts on a pair of the MDR XB55s<\/p> <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508578950129","data":"59eb1bf86254a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508578952305","data":"Let's begin by talking about the build quality. While there is a certain amount of plastic feeling to the design of the earphones, on closer inspection you find that it is much sturdier than it looks and can withstand a lot of punishment, which makes it ideal to use in the gym should you decide to do so. The connecting wire that finishes with a shiny and tipped 3.5mm jack is not braided or sufficiently protected, however, and feels quite flimsy. <\/p>The sound quality itself is decent, it gets worse depending on the type of genres you prefer to listen to, it is great for anything with a fantastic bass line in it. which brings us to the main event, the bass itself. <\/p>I do not know which genius it was to suggest to earphone companies that everyone was into bass these days, was this the result of their extensive market analysis and research where they saw kids today listening to EDM only. Whatever the case, the result of them putting 'extra bass' on the advertisement and cover seems to have worked with people flocking to buy the thing in the first place, but how confident does the resistance feel?<\/p>For all their show and bravado, the bass is pretty decent and the clears are clear enough to hear the lyrics being sung quite clearly. The base is not great, but it gets the job done. You won't be disturbed in public areas, that is for sure. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1508579895945","data":"59eb1c4637966"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1508579897958","data":"Overall, Sony MDR-XB55 is a great pair of earphones that manages to be well rounded while not feeling cheap. Buying this on sale is the smartest thing you can do, but after that,  it is open season. There are better earph0nes to get at higher prices if you decided to buy this anyway at its original price of 2.1 thousand change, so wait for a sale. <\/p>In conclusion, I'd say make this your starting piece in a collection worthy of making everyone jealous. <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xVFbQ8\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to buy! <\/a><\/p>"}]
