Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Sony MDR-XD300 Stereo Headphones are a great pair of headphones that deliver high-quality sound at an affordable price. With 40 millimeter diameter, dome-type driver units and long-stroke diaphragms, your music will sound great. The MDR-XD300 driver units reproduce surprisingly-clear sounds at a wide frequency range (8-25,000 Hz). These substantial headphones feature neodymium magnets for greater power handling and higher frequencies. Five times more powerful than standard earphone ferrite magnets of the same size, neodymium magnets mean that the Sony MDR-XD300 Stereo Headphones maximize energy, while keeping size to a minimum. With these advanced technological features, the MDR-XD300 provides great sound without placing too much strain on your pocketbook.
With the MDR-XD300, Sony has taken special care to please both the audiophile and cinema-geek. The MDR-XD300 features a sound mode switch (music or movie) to more adequately match the sound source. With a simple flip of a switch, you can focus the headphones frequency range to make your music come to life or bring you that much closer to your favorite film star. Of course, Sony has not scrimped on comfort. The Sony MDR-XD300 Stereo Headphones feature an ear-conscious design with soft earpads for long-time listening comfort.

I bought these recently so I could watch TV and play games late at night without worrying about keeping the volume low to avoid waking up my partner or our baby. So far I am very pleased with them - they seem sturdily built, the three metre wire is just the right length for where I sit and the sound quality seems excellent. Although I don't have a lot of experience with quality sound systems, these headphones have sufficient bass, don't 'bleed' sound that I have noticed and when playing a game they convey where a character or sound is relative to the on-screen character -- i.e. if someone's walking behind me to the right, I'll distinctly hear the footsteps behind and to the right, which is brilliant, and incredibly immersive when gaming.
There is a switch between TV and music on the side of them, although I haven't noticed that this makes any difference. They are comfortable to wear and I think the build quality seems solid, with no noticeable parts that would be inclined to break. One thing to note is that they are very big and bulky, and would not be suitable for use on the move. However, if you're looking for a cheap pair of headphones to use at home, I would thoroughly recommend these based on daily use for the last couple of months.

I recently purchased these headphones to listen to Mp3's via my PC.
So far I have to say I'm impressed. I wanted a big pair as we have two PC's in the same room and I wanted to listen to my music rather than gameplay behind me. They are not too heavy and I sit here for hours at a time and can with these on quite comfortably. The sound quality is good however I do find the movie-audio switch a little redundant.
If you want to buy headphones to carry around with you you are barking up the wrong tree. Mp3players headphones they are not.
If you want crystal clear perfect sound, Then quite frankly, sorry you get what you pay for.
If you want a good set of comfortable sturdy headphones for your Hi-fi or PC that dont sound like they were made in 1989, not forgetting for a reasonable price by a brand leader, then buy these headphones.
As an afterthought too.. Nice long lead :)

Having had Earphones for over 20 years, I fancied a change for my PC (TV watching, music listening and game playing).
I can recommend these headphones as, for me, I really appreiciated the space of sound around my ears as opposed to those "In Ear Plugs".
I felt a true experience of loudness without distortion and a satisfiying Bass.
I think other reviewers who have rated this product lower must already have an established relationship with "Headphones". I for one recommend these if you have used Earphones for a while and are looking for a change.
On a negative note, they do look VERY big on my head. So theres no way I'm going in public with 'em on.
