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 smaller size of the Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows a design that creates a better fit 

inside the ear. This attenuates outside sounds better than headphones with Dynamic drivers, 

resulting in a superior listening experience.

Noise Blocking Design

Sony

®

 XBA-Series earbuds afford 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

Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide an outstanding fit, 

but utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.
