Sony calls them the \u201cBalanced Armature Drivers\u201d that are micro is size but deliver a full range of sound. They are also very comfortable since they are so small. No need to worry about discomfort in the gym or while studying at school. The XBA-1\u2032s sell for $79.99.

    \n Strengths<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sound quality for the price is exceptional<\/p>\n

    A wide range of fittings are included so finding the perfect fit will be easy<\/p>\n

    Range of sound is very balanced, highs or lows don’t overpower other elements of the sound<\/p>\n

    Weaknesses<\/span><\/p>\n

    These earbuds tend to be a little quiet with some MP3 players. Very noticeable with Apple products<\/p>\n

    The flat cord design doesn’t do much to avoid tangles<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
