What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony MDR-XB450AP Extra Bass Smartphone Headset (Black)

Bass impressive! Very light weight. Good headset for money.
They are light weight without feeling cheap. Really happy with them.
Surprisingly light weight and soft! The sound is high quality and has very little leakage.
Excellent quality sound, comfort, light weight and price.
They are very light, so they can easily slide off the head, which is annoying.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony MDR-XB450AP Extra Bass Smartphone Headset (Black)

Excellent bass and highs as well. Work great on my Ipod.
Flat cable is amazing no tangle. Mic is alright nothing mind blowing but gets the job done nicely.
Great quality sound, perfect low frequency without being overly "bassy" also great highs and mid range.
Crisp highs, slightly muffled mids, and good bass response. The bass is really good in fact.
The only downside is the cable not being replaceable. I had these headphones in my backpack, and after I pulled them out the left earcup quit working.
