Sony XBA-3 User manual

Step up to Sony® Balanced Armature and step up to a revolution in audio.
A full range driver, plus one woofer driver and one tweeter, deliver detailed
vocals, rich powerful bass and clear highs. Rediscover every note and all
the emotion of your favorite music with the world’s only drivers optimized
for music enjoyment.
Sound Story
Compared to conventional Dynamic drivers, Balanced Armature drivers produce a broad
and even frequency response with notable vocal clarity. SONY® Balanced Armature drivers
are tuned for higher or lower frequency response and combined to emphasize certain sound
characteristics.
Balanced Armature Driver
Newly developed micro-size driver units (full-range + woofer + tweeter) deliver smooth and
clear vocals with rich, powerful bass and detailed high frequencies. Get reacquainted with your
favorite music.
Double Layer Housing
It’s in the details… A special, high strength magnesium 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
The smaller size of the Balanced Armature (BA) driver allows an improved t inside the ear for
better, long-term comfort. This attenuates outside sounds better than headphones with Dynamic
drivers, resulting in a superior listening experience.
Noise Blocking Design
Sony® XBA-Series Earbuds provide a comfortable t that also results in signicantly lower sound
leakage levels both in or out, allowing you uninterrupted access to your music.
Secure Fit
Hybrid silicone earbuds, in 4 sizes, allow for 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,
but utilize pressure relieving urethane foam to further reduce ambient noise.
