Headphones MDR-XB450BV
The case of the model is completely plastic, but the original radial pattern on the cups and the difference in textures give the impression that metal was used to create the headphones. Despite this, many users say that I would like to add real metal to the design.
The wire bends easily and does not get tangled during operation. The design and the curved shape of the plug allow you to connect headphones to any gadget. A rather stiff headband often causes excessive pressure on the head while listening to music, so it is recommended to try on a model before buying. However, the headphones are adjusted very quickly and easily, which allows you to adjust them to individual preferences.
In the instructions for Sony Extra Bass headphones, their features are noted: inside one of the cups there is a compartment for two AAA batteries that power the gadget in vibration mode. It is activated by pressing a special key on another bowl, next to which is the vibration intensity regulator. Both elements are easy to grope.
A rather original solution with batteries is very convenient, but it has its drawback: the batteries discharge very quickly. Those who prefer to constantly use the vibration mode will have to carry extra batteries with them all the time.
