Sound Story
Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers reproduce a smooth,
broad and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. Sony® Balanced Armature drivers
are tuned for higher or lower frequency response, as well as combined to emphasize certain
sound characteristics.

Newly developed micro-size, full-range driver units deliver detailed and transparent sound
reproduction. Be it your favorite vocalist, driving bass line, piano, guitar or drum solo, hear even
the most subtle musical details with tremendous clarity. Get reacquainted with your favorite
music.
Made for iPod®/iPhone®/iPad®
Full integration for iPod®, iPhone® and iPad®.1 The in-line remote gives you volume and track
controls (Play, Stop, Next/Prior) for iPod®, iPhone® or iPad®, and the built-in microphone makes it
easy to take calls through it all.
VoiceOver support
The simple press of a button activates VoiceOver mode, where the iPod® states the name of the
currently playing song or
playlist (on enabled devices).1
Double Layer Housing
It’s in the details… A special, liquid crystal polymer inner housing provides the necessary rigidity
for smooth frequency response, while an ABS outer housing suppresses vibrations for clear mid-
high frequency sound reproduction. The result is rich audio performance.
Wearing Comfort

improved long-term comfort.
Noise Blocking Design
Sony® XBA-Series earbuds aord a comfortable t that also results in signicantly lower sound
leakage levels, both in or out, allowing you uninterrupted access to your music.
Secure Fit
Hybrid silicone earbuds come in 4 sizes to ensure a tailored t that further maximizes overall sound
quality and comfort.
Noise Attenuation
Noise isolation earbuds (Included: Small, Medium, and Large) not only provide an outstanding t,
