(SINGAPORE, 22 March 2013) – Combining deep, powerful bass with hip new colours and super sleek metallic designs, Sony has expanded its Extra Bass headphone series with the MDR-XB920 and MDR-XB610, providing club music lovers a whole new look that brings the party right to their ears in style.
The stylish and chic MDR-XB920 makes a bold sonic statement with huge 50mm driver units and high-energy neodymium magnets for a dynamic frequency that faithfully reproduces every note, from the deepest bass to highest treble. This gorgeous sound comes packaged in a solidly constructed, stylish design, with a Direct-Vibe structure that creates a perfectly sealed acoustic enclosure for mind-blowing levels of euphonic euphoria. The MDR-XB920 is also available in a new range of colours, either silver with black or silver with red. Meanwhile the MDR-XB610 delivers tight, punchy bass and superb sound with a pair of 40mm driver units and is available in silver with white and silver with orange.
Sony matches the outstanding sound with superlative comfort, equipping the MDR-XB920 and MDR-XB610 with cushy, pressure-relieving urethane foam, making them exceptionally comfortable to wear all night long, and it helps keep out ambient noise as well. They are also extremely portable, featuring a compact dual-folding design that enables listeners to conveniently throw them into a purse or backpack, as well as reversible ear pads that add listening versatility. The MDR-XB920 comes with an innovative 1.2m flatcord with a twist and lock feature, giving you the freedom to get caught up in the music without getting tripped on cables. Furthermore, the MDR-XB920 features an in-line remote that allows you to control music playback on your smartphone, regardless of whether it runs on iOS, Android or BlackBerry, while the built-in microphone lets you make calls with ease. In addition, Android phone users can download Sony’s Smart Key App, which allows them to personalise their headphones by configuring the call key button when taking a call, listening to music or the radio, making it the perfect companion for the headphones.
“For over 50 years, Sony has been leading the industry in developing products that meet our customers’ evolving appreciation for excellent audio reproduction, and the MDR-XB920 and MDR-XB610 headphones are no exception,” said Mr Shintaro Tanaka, General Manager, Video & Sound Marketing, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “Consumers increasingly and rightfully expect more from their headphones, which is why the MDR-XB920 and MDR-XB610 headphones deliver power and clarity to sound while remaining ergonomic and sleek.”
