EXCLUSIVE REVIEW OF THE SONY MDR-XB 500's!

(photo's coming soon)



The SONY MDR-XB 500's are legendary over ear headphones that has gotten a great reputation. The XB-500's are well known for it's cheap price, EXTRA comfy cushions, and great sound quality. However, sadly, these were replaced by the new XB 600's which in my opinion are terrible compared to the XB 500's. Let's get started on this review.

The SONY MDR XB-500's are by far the best headphones (with super charged bass AND an great comfort) for under 100 dollars. Currently, these headphones are starting to get rare, and if you are reading this review, you are probably thinking on buying these vs other "top notch" headphones. I am not an audiophile, however, I can assure you that these headphones have the best "bang for your buck" ratio. These headphones have great, strong bass, and a punchy and crisp sound. If the bass is too much for you, there are equalizers you can use to turn it down. These headphones actually follow equalizers unlike most headphones such as Beats by Dre (Solo, Mixr, Studio, Pro, you name it). These are also much comfortable, however, it may take time to get your ear in the right place because the cushions are very deep. Also, these headphone leaks a lot compared to other headphones because of the giant cushions and the noise isolation is not great on these. The cables are NOT detachable and they do not feature an inline mic or controls, but they are flat, so they do not tangle. SONY includes a very minimalistic soft case so your headphones will not get dirty. 

Bottom line, these headphones are great, you can get them on Amazon.com for 69.99 dollars (may change as demand increases or stock depleats) LINK (Sony MDR XB-500 Headphones - Amazon.com) and they will be the best 69.99  you will spend. The quality is great, the ear cushions are hand sewn, and the sound quality is top notch. If you are thinking of buying Beats, or any other celebrity endorsed headphone, don't be a douche bag, and get the SONY MDR XB-500 instead.

Sony Xperia SL Leaked: Features Silver body

 The phone above is "called" the Sony Xperia SL (model number LT26ii), and even though the phone looks exactly the same as the Xperia S, the SL's will get a few notable changes. The Xperia S has  a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 processor,but the Xperia SL is said to have the same processor, the SL's is said to be clocked at 1.7GHz. Other Xperia SL additions include having Android 4.0.4 preloaded and coming in silver and pink color options (shown in render form at ePrice) in addition to the black and white bodies that the Xperia S launched in.

The Xperia SL is said to be similar to the Xperia S, and the specs are as followed: 4.3-inch 720x1280 display, 1GB RAM, 32GB storage, 12-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel front camera. Sony is holding an event in Berlin on August 29 right before IFA 2012 so it's possible that we'll hear more about the Xperia SL (and maybe that recently-leaked Xperia Tablet) then. The release of this phone hasn't been released but in the mean time, would you buy this?

New SONY Phone Leaked! (Sony Mint)

While people been fussing over the Xperia GX (aka the LT29i), it seems Sony's been working on something much better. Mobile-review has published a run-down of a device it claims is called the LT30p -- aka the Mint, which appeared way back in January -- which  appears to have many of the specs  from a high-end phone. The front has a 1280 x 720 4.3-inch LCD (reports also say that possibly the screen could be a 4.5 display), while the rear has the same 13-megapixel camera as the GX, and there's a microSD slot on the side too. Mobile-review reports that the phone is running ICS and posses a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The build quality looks a bit unfinished and I'm not sure that this is a final production handset. If this comes out would you possibly consider it? Or will you stick with the S3 or One X?
