Sony MDRXD200

Terrible – I am listening to these headphones as I write this review and no matter what type of music I listen to they fail to impress (or satisfy) me. The sound mode switch does nothing which I am not fussed about but does not inspire much confidence. The sound it self is flat, the bass is muddy sounding and the voices are hard to hear. My advice is learn from my mistake don't waste your time and money on these. Long cord

Light Weight Sound selector does nothing (could be classed as a pro !!)

Muddy bass

Poor midrange response

Ear cups a little small

Good – I was hesitant in purchasing these due to some of the other reviews here, but glad I did anyway. They got good reviews elsewhere though. First up, the Music/Movie switch DOES change the sound. It's not very noticeable with some music types but both my wife and I can hear the difference. The Movie mode makes the mid range fuller which I guess is better for dialogue etc but if used in music makes it a bit fuller so may suit some music types but I found it just sounded to loud/muddy so prefer using the music mode for music.

Overall happy as wanted something better than in ear type headphones which were light and comfortable to wear (and not too expensive) for when I wanted to listen to music louder than our sleeping baby would allow. My wife has enjoyed using them for watch movies with too. Lightweight (but plastic), single sided cord about 2.5m long, music/movie selector switch, cheapish Cord thin (prefer thicker ones as less prone to damage), plastic (but lightweight)
