Sony is turning the bass up at this year with three impressive additions to its Extra Bass audio lineup. The new Extra Bass of headphones would surely make you and your friends move to those great Electronic Dance Music (EDM) tracks. 

As the only music genre that has gained popularity in the last 10 years, EDM has not only dominated music charts across the world but it has also won the hearts of many music lovers. Today’s pop culture movement is also strongly shaped by EDM influences such as crossover musical collaborations to EDM inspired movies. 

The three exciting additions to the existing Extra Bass trio of speakers (SRS-XB2, SRS-XB3, GTK-XB7) and headphones (MDR-XB650BT, MDR-XB950BT, MDR-XB450AP, MDR-XB50AP, MDR-XB70AP) will include MDR-XB80BS and MDR-XB50BS Extra Bass Sports Wireless In-Ear Headphones.

MDR-XB80BS

Say hello to your new workout partner – the new MDR-XB80BS and MDR-XB50BS EXTRA BASS Sports Wireless In-Ear Headphones. Targeting fitness fanatics and gym junkies who prefer to take in the punchy, deep beats while working out, these headphones are tuned for EDM, which has the best matching tempo (120 to 140 beats per minute) to give you that extra bass and push needed to enhance your sports performance.

MDR-XB50BS

The MDR-XB80BS is designed with a secure ear hook style with cable adjuster, while the MDR-XB50BS comes with arc supporters – both offering stable fit and wireless freedom while you work out. The MDR-XB80BS is also IPX5 splash-proof and washable, which means that you can wash it after exercising without worrying that you will damage it. 

The MDR-XB50BS on the other hand is IPX4 splash-proof – you can wear it out for a jog even when it is drizzling. All these also mean that you can take the dance party with you no matter how powerful or intense your workouts are. Both headphones have a battery life of 7 and 8.5 hours respectively so that you can tune in to high-quality wireless music and make calls even after your trainings. 

MDR-XB70BT

It is slim, lightweight, and delivers the deep, punchy and rhythmic sound while ensuring crystal clear and precise audio. The MDR-XB70BT also comes with a built-in microphone and HD Voice support so that you can make hands-free calls in a clear voice on the go.
