Sound Story

Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers produce a broad and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. SONY® Balanced Armature drivers are tuned for higher or lower frequency response and combined to emphasize certain sound characteristics.

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.

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.

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 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.

Secure Fit

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

Noise Attenuation
