Ranjit sir sony 310ap for 900 rs ...please
Hello Ranjit been following u for years now. I use this headset from the last 3 years. This is an awesome set of earphones.
Recently i got a new Song y WF XB700 TWS. Can u pls review them ?
How many of you know that MDR stands for micro-dynamic range and XB stands for extra bass.
What Stands for AP

@@sunithkumars2772 All the comments you seen it was just speaks the voice of ranjeet but trust me if you're looking for one of the best than go with sony bcoz sony is better than 275s I have both and in 90% cases I use sony its sound just amazing and if your budget is tight go for sony xb55 only it cost you approximately 1700 on Amazon.
MDR also stands for Music Deserves Respect.

I have been using these earphones for more than 4 years and still when my earphones go bad, I opt for these earphones only.
Same , it's my 2nd pair, I've tried Sennheiser , sound logic , rha etc but nothing beats sony , atleast in this price range
Same used for 3 years. Now with Sony WIXB400. Go for it. Worth the price.
@@harshilchavda3989 what , are u kidding. i hope u r n audiophile. I found sennhiser cx 275s better than this still.
@@ShivamKumar-rn4mp yes you're right Sennheiser is better for people who like flat sound , I like my sound on lil bass side and I believe for the vast majority of people sony is better choice since it hass enhanced bass and not to mention this xb 55 has better build quality than Sennheiser 275s.
Sennheiser is better anyday
I've had a pair of these for over 5 years. They're still going strong. I've always been happy with the sound quality and as yet they haven't developed any faults.
how's the cable quality , some says that it is not braided so it will not last long
All about maintained
Hi ranjit, which one you prefer sennheiser cx275s or this sony earphone in terms of sound quality.
I have completed 2 years with this earphone and i just love it❤️
The wire is just awesome.

I have been an ardent lover of the Sony XB series for years now !! The sound is just so balanced, yet you don't miss out on the bass !! I am using the Sony XB75AP now, which has a metallic housing !!

Its been 7 years since I started watching you and that " see you in my next video " outtro never seem to die out. Thanks a lot man for all that !!!
Strange when i bought these a year ago for 1700 no good review was there on yt but this just randomly popped up😂
Same dude but the price decreased just after the week I bought 😂

Now there are very good dual drivers available in that price

Could you recommend some dual driver wired ones.
@@menbl2941 what are dual driver earphones?

Using this for last 2.5 years. Perhaps the best earphone in all budget segment under 2k.
PRO6305bk is the best balanced earphone. Try that! I too have XB55AP, but the Philips is atleast 2X better!
They are insanely bass heavy, I would rather prefer senheiser, beyerdynamic, or rha.
earphones are worth , but the only problem i have is while riding with the helmet you can't enjoy music without having ear pain ! cus its so big and when you wear helmets over that its crushing inside your ears and causes pain ,, but without that this is a beast !!

then he comes up with Earphone, yeah it's hard to remember word while holding one of them in your hand. such a stupid guy this is. I once saw him reviewing 'Surface 4' this stupid way, and immediately made my mind that this guy is stupid and knows nothing about technicality of stuff.
@@sherlock33 such a genuine you are!
Sir, you're the only big tech youtuber who reviews wired earphones time-to-time! Keep up with this good work! Lots of respect!
Using those earphones for last 2 years
1) Absolute amazing sound quality
2) Bass is really nice
Sadly my mic stopped working after 1.2 years of usage other than that no problem at all ( m assure that they r gonna be working for 1 year at least )
Sony is great...... I have one earphone(ex14) and a headphone (zx110) of Sony both them are really very good..... Both sound quality and build quality

Hey, how are these for gaming on PS4 or laptop?
to make it short: TOTALLY worth it.
It's been more than 2 years since I purchased this earphones. Same blue colour. Still working as good as new. Most durable earphones I have come across in this price range . The cable quality is excellent. Watching this video with the same headset 😍
What about now?

Should I buy this in july 2022 at this price range or there are other options today? My preference is a good mic over anything else
Can you do a comparison between these and it's elder sibling, the MDR XB75 AP ?
Im using this earphone from past 2 years and still it sounds great 👍 love this earphone actually ✌🏻
Yay! Finally! I've been using this very earphone for like 3 years now and have had 3 pairs till now. It's the best thing ever!
Edit: you can also use an Equalizer app to make it even bassier like i do. But keep in mind that it would wear out sooner!
mee too..Used them for 2 years now using the 75ap
It's the best, even for Mobile gaming the sound is crispy and it hits the right spots
@@CRR397 would agree with almost every point you've made except for "it doesn't sound good at all". I know some people like too much details and all but you gotta remember the price. Nothing can have the best of everything for the price you consider paying.
And i guess most of us here are bassheads so it's as good as it can be. Sound according to me is phenomenal. I've got a Bose QC 35 ll and i use that too, i still have no complaints with this. Just love it.
@@CRR397 LOL! Do you even know what you are talking about? Btw, most people don't like that unnecessarily sparkling sound(treble) which feels piercing in the ears. So sony one suits for most people.
I have 3 pairs as well... 2 dead and 1 is about to die anytime soon😂😂😂😂😂
Sony MDR XB55AP vs Sennheiser momentum 2.0 in-ear. If you choose headphones for music (pop,classic,vocal) watch movies and listen to music ?
hi ranjit sir what will be your pick between sony mdrxb55ap vs senhizers cx275s i am very confused between this two so plz clear it thank you
Using this for three years and still works completely fine. Better than all the in ear in this price range. Very good sound quality and perfect amount of Bass.
Finally, someone who knows how to properly test ear/headphones .
Been using these for more than 4 years, there weren't many reviews when i decided to buy it, but glad i bought them anyway. My first set of earphones which introduced me to proper audio quality and noise cancelling
Please tell me that this earphones compare to "Signature Acoustics C12 version 2.1" which one is good you think.
3 years and still. XB55. Just quality lit💥
Mine gets damaged after 10months probably rough usage....loyal to this one tho
Mic stops working after 10 months too
I've used these like 2 years ago they are very good
Looking to get an earphone for extreme deep bass . Is that a good one or do you have any better recommendation? I'm pure bass lover... Don't care if other aspects are slightly dampened.... Please assist
The most respected tech reviewer! ❤
Bought it last month. It is surprisingly balanced given they wrote extra bass. I have not used any very high end earphones/headphones. I think Sennheiser's treble is too enhanced for my taste. While playing games that may feel it is hurting your ear. If you are like me you will certainly like this one. 3d sound staging also good for competitive gaming I say and they are loud enough for music and videos.
If we listen to low quality sound in speaker or earphones is that effect the speaker or earphones sound in future
Nope bro, it just sounds bad but doesn't do any damage to the device...
May damage your ears slowly. High treble damages ear drums
Does not damage the audio device but you should always go for the best audio source you can get and what your device can play.
Thank you so much sir for creating this playlist and making our buying decisions easier. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sir pls tell.... Which should I buy?
This one or Sennheiser cx 275 s?
Bought oneodio pro10 on your recommendation and it's amazing
When did u buy? It's out of stock now :(
@@pratyayamrit007 yeah
Please!! Sir make a comparison video on Sony WH-XB900N vs WH-CH-710N headphones

I'm looking forward to buya earphone,which one to buy sennheiser cx275 or this sony MDRXB55AP i like bass but not extreme and also decent overall performance. Pls guide which one to buy.
Hi Sir, Can you share me link for buying RHA ma390?
I am looking for these earphones from last 2 months but every site showing as unavailable.
do you recommend these in 2022? Or currently which is better?
I bought them again vs my previous XB50AP, i started to loose the high end after years of use and i had to repair the left side.
"What chemical formula" that live was dope👏🏼
Any other earphones with better sub bass impact than XB55AP? To me the old skullcandy titan iems hit a bit harder than XB55AP ? Any other recommendations?
Does it sounds better than oneodio, which you reviewed earlier.
Ranjit Sir. Please review "philips Pro6305 bk" earphone. It comes in same 2000 price range. I wanna buy it.
I’ve been using these for little over two years. Sounds good and it’s highly durable because of the flat cable.
Is there any way I can get the orginal headset which came with S8 and S9 tuned by AKG
What should I buy, I brok my mdrxb55 but scared I could lost my sound quality, should I go for again for the same earphone or xb400?
Suggest me on behalf of bass.
Using it for 3 years and still rocking. If you have Samsung phone set equaliser for Bass 90% and vocals 60% you'll be stunned, you'll feel like you're in theatre. Awesome😍
Can you tell me these setting..O have samsung phone and I will buy these earphones soonk
So glad you are reviewing this one Ranjit ji. I want to share my experience though.
These earphones are great for day to day use like music, voice calling and stuff.
I have been using them for almost 1.5 years by now. Never faced any issues.
The wire quality is so good that it looks as a brand new one. Bass is comfortable enough.
Sound quality is very good when making calls.
Overall these are the best ones of all I have used till now.
Same here. I LOVE IT
Same here. No one match the sound quality of this earphone
Same here bro❤️
I would rather go for RHA MA-390 than these. Sony products are overhyped in India
Ranjith sir.
Can you please review/recommend a good wired earphone for professional video editing. For around 3000
What your thoughts about above 20k price point now a days mobile phone manufacturers removing headphone jack and wireless earphones are selling around 2k..
Is this time to switch wireless earphones?
Great Review brother Ranjit
Keep it coming ❤️
I have this pair of earphones for almost a year now. Great quality and sound. Before this, I used to use an AKG earphone that came with my S9 and this is almost at par with that.
@Donquixote Doflamingo me too
I am a sony mdr ex255ap user. Using this for more than 2 years. I can say i fall in love with its music quality. But Unfortunately a wear cut issue happened recently due to my lackings. Now i just wanna buy a newer one. Plz suggest me sir, which one should i buy. 255ap again or xb55ap?

I have had these earphones for more than 4 years now and one of the best in audio. The only downside as many have pointed out is the mic.

Hello sir can you review the signature acoustics c12 v2.1 earphones? I feel they are underrated and not many know about this brand.
I have owned one of these before upgrading to Audio Technica M40X for portable use.
While the wire does not feel as strong to the hand, its actually very durable. I cannot count the amount of times it has been yanked accidentally while listening and yet it still works perfectly fine. The feel of the button does leave much to be desired as well but it works after even 2 years of use.
One thing to note is that the eartips should be changed out after the first year as they will become loose and will not seal properly which can affect the sound signature. Out of the box, noise isolation is actually very good especially for the asking price.
These are earphones lean heavily towards the V-shaped sound signature and will drown out certain instruments and vocals. You can work with the EQ to tune this but given the nature of the unit your options are limited. Bass is definitely boosted but not bloated and if you pair this with an amplifier you can really feel them getting close to the feel of Skullcandy sets.
Are these better than Sennheiser CX275s? It depends. Sennheisers are also bass heavy but sound more natural so it depends on what you're listening to. Either way you cannot go wrong with both units.
Omg thanks a lot for that!! That was exactly what i was looking for, think about the cx275 or this, i listen to a lot of rock and pop too sometimes and mostly just casual usage for school and stuff so which do you think would suit the best
I owned a MDR XB55AP for a longtime and switched to MDR XB75AP for almost a couple of years and now switched to Sony's wireless headset WI-XB400.. Trust me when you purchase the XB series from Sony you won't turn back... it's simple awesome. And for bassheads these XB series are majestic. You still got to tweak the Equalizer for the best bass output on these.. Cool review Ranjit..
Heyy lol, which one is best to buy for music,
