Sony's XBA-4 in-ear headphones are the
company's first to use four balanced armature drivers in each earpiece
for ambient noise isolation, and they sound great.
Design and features
The XBA-4 is the flagship model in the XBA line and uses four balanced armature drivers (full range, tweeter, woofer, and superwoofer drivers) in each earpiece. The earpieces are relatively massive for this reason, especially for an in-ear design, but the gunmetal-gray-and-silver metallic earpieces stand out with an undeniably high-tech profile. The buds are constructed from a high-strength magnesium alloy inner housing that holds the four drivers rigidly in place, with an assembly fitted into an ABS outer housing to suppress vibration.
Sony claims the XBA-4 in-ear headphones have a "noise-blocking" design and prevent sound leakage; I found the XBA-4's environmental noise-hushing abilities are about average for in-ear designs. At the very least, you won't have to worry about your music causing a disturbance to people around you.
The headphone cable is an asymmetric Y design, so the left branch of the
cable is just 7 inches long compared to the right side's 21-inch
length. As such, the headphones feel most comfortable draped over the
left side of your body.
