Cinema-quality sounds and deep, booming bass.
Sony MDR-XD200 Headband
Wide, split headband for added listening comfort.
Powerful Sound

The MDR-XD200 headphones utilize 40mm, long-stroke driver units, along with high-power neodymium magnets, to pump out powerful sound with a wide dynamic range.

An oxygen-free copper cord and gold-plated plug ensure great conductivity, along with corrosion resistance.

Sound Mode Switch

These headphones feature a unique "Sound Mode Switch," allowing on-the-fly adjustment of your headphones' sound. Choose "Music" or "Movie" mode to match your sound source. "Movie" mode provides a bass boost, for higher-impact movie sound, whereas "Music" mode has a flatter EQ suitable for music.

Comfortable Design

Urethane leather ear pads cover your ears comfortably without squeezing, and the adjustable, wide split headband lets you get just the right fit for long listening sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good sound quality, low price, get them, February 1, 2007
This review is from: Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
COMFORT:

When I first put them on, wow, they fit very well and sealed very good. I rate comfort 9/10. -1 point because if I wear them for 6-8 hours, the top back part of my ear presses slightly against the hard inside part of the ear cups, not really a big problem. I can fix this somewhat by changing the position of the ear cups on my ears. That's the only bad part about the comfort. You won't notice it until after a few hours of use.

SOUND QUALITY:

Overall frequency response is about flat. And just enough bass that it doesn't sound lacking, but not too much, just the right amount. You can listen to these for a long time and fall asleep without being fatigued from the sound.

TREBLE:

I tested the headphones on my computer frequency generator. There was a very slight, hardly noticeable (1-2dB) peak at 2.5kHz (the driver resonance), and another peak of about the same amount at 7kHz (natural resonance of the ear canal). I used the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best earphones for eyeglass wearers, January 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
This review is aimed at those with eyeglasses and whose ears get pinched between the eyeglass arms and the earphones. I do not like to block up my ears with ear plugs all day for health concerns. I have bought and used these:

Sony MDR-CD230

Sony MDR-V6

Sony MDR-XD200

My ears are not real fussy on quality, nearly all headphones give my ears a problem by pressing them against my eyeglass arms and this hurts, usually after 10-20 minutes of listening. My hatsize if about 7.25,

my ears are pretty normal in size, I am middle aged. All three of these headphones I own are the best I have tried on or read reviews by eyeglass wearers over past 2 years. Headphones have a left and right side - the cord typically is attached to the left side, and the ear spaces, or cups, are oriented accordingly, to that the back of the ear lobe has more space to sit in than the front of the ear lobe. The sideways pressure (how hard they clamp onto your head)... Read more

This review is from: Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
The Sony MDR XD200 is one of those headphones that look expensive and work expensive but are very affordable. This set is very good-looking, and not just the pictures, but also when its lying on your desk or somewhere else. Sadly the same cannot be said if its on your head, because frankly, these headphones are HUGE. take a look at the customer pictures at the top and one of them has a person wearing them with a slightly skewed profile. Those accurately reflect the size of these headphones. I would not recommend these if you are an active person who wants headphones for outdoor use or indoor treadmill use or something like that. But frankly, if that is your primary purpose, why would you use circumaural headphones in the first place? lol

However, if you plan to use these on ur iPods and mp3 players and just listening to music or watching movies on your computer, like basically sedentary activites, maybe even the occasional subway ride (if you dont mind the unavoidable... Read more
