Satisfied,

This review is from: Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
First impression is a solid one. I was surprised how lightweight and comfortable the headphones were. Though the looks of the headphones may turn some people off, I do not mind (as I bought these headphones for my college apartment use, where it gets loud, so I needed my own sound space).
I noticed distortion in the sound when I was playing through one song, but after comparing the sound to my speakers I realized that the song's quality was not perfect, and the headphones just made the imperfect more clear (kind of like going from a regular TV to an HDTV, and then playing a normal signal on that HDTV, it will look worse than on the regular TV).
As one of my roommate sings to his song that he plays on his computer through his own headphones I realize that these Sony headphones that I have do not keep outside sound as low as I hoped. It could just be that his singing was so different than normal sounds it was easy for my ears to pickup even if it was a faint...Read more

I bought these headphones after trying a couple of cheaper philips and sony sets and also reading nothing but good reviews. These headphones are fantastic the sound quality is excellent, I use them for watching TV/Movies at night, and they do a top job. Other headphones I tried sounded quite tinny. these just bring movies and music alive. also these are the most confortable headphones I have ever worn. You dont even realise you have these large things on your head. Other headphones Ive tried tended to get quite uncomfortable after a short time. They do sound better after about a day or two, to break them in. The Movie/Music switch dosent seem to do much/anything. These headphones are well worth the price.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sony MDR-XD400 Stereo Headphones (Electronics)
I broke my last two sets of headphones... I spent about $20.0 on each pair and I really didn't think I was missing much.. but I did notice when I got an even cheaper set that made my music sound like I was listening in on someone elses music through a metal pipe..... Not to mention discomfort.
THESE HEADPHONES.. are worth the price.
1) They're comfortable. Nice padding... Each side is labled (one for the right ear and one for the left ear)...
2) No outside noise. They're big-- all you hear is the sound of whatever you're listening to. I ride the train to work (which is really loud) .. I used to turn up my music when I got on the train to hear it (which was probably really bad for my ears...) and then turn it back down again once I got off, knowing that everyone around me could probably hear whatever I was listening to at the time... these are a nice constant.... I like that :-)
3) They have lots of different "modes" on both ears...Read more
