Editorial note

The Sony MDR-XB60EX headphones stand out for their superior audio quality, thanks to the use of neodymium magnets and a closed acoustic system. These features provide an immersive experience, particularly appreciated by audiophiles. The sensitivity of 105 dB and the wide frequency range of 4 to 25,000 Hz ensure clear and powerful sound across all sound ranges. Additionally, the in-ear design ensures prolonged comfort and optimal sound isolation, allowing for enjoyment of music without external distractions. However, these headphones have some drawbacks. The lack of a detachable cable makes replacement difficult in case of damage, which can be a long-term issue. Although the 1.2 m cable offers some flexibility, it may not be suitable for those seeking more freedom of movement. Furthermore, while their lightweight of 8 g is generally an advantage, it can make the headphones sensitive to movement, which could affect listening quality during active use. In summary, the Sony MDR-XB60EX are quality headphones that offer excellent audio performance and appreciable comfort, but their wired design and lack of a detachable cable may pose limitations for some users.
