It was certainly music to our ears when perennial sound makers Sony introduced their new Balanced Armature (BA) technology with the release of 7 high performance in ear headphones that feature micro sized BA drivers that are optimised for pure music enjoyment and quality listening experience like no other.
The freely tuneable and highly immersive EXperience Balanced Armature (XBA) range is able to achieve higher sound resolution from its micro sized and high sensitivity drivers by combining full range, woofer, tweeter and super woofer units that deliver a wider frequency range and highly nuanced experience, in earphone assemblies that are stylish and comfortable, and offer exceptional sound isolation, and even waterproofing.
The highly optimised and uniquely designed BA drivers are only a quarter of the size of a typical 13.5mm driver but offers a similar level of sensitivity, in a sealed housing that significantly reduces the amount of ambient noise, as well as sound leakage both in and out of the ear, while producing a deeper and richer sound that is suitable for high quality playback over a broader sound range, from the complete range of Sony XBA earphones.
The seven new models featuring the micro-sized BA drivers that were presented and demonstrated to the members of the media at press conference held at the Urban Restaurant in Istana Hotel, last Friday, and are already on sale to the public, are the XBA-1, XBA-2, XBA-3 and XBA-4, that incorporate with between one to four drivers (full range, woofer, tweeter & super woofer) respectively, the Active Mobility (waterproof) XBA-S65, the boxless Wireless Music (Bluetooth) XBA-BT75 and the Digital Noice Cancelling XBA-NC85D.
XBA-1
XBA-2
XBA-3
XBA-4
XBA-S65 B (Active Mobility - Black)
XBA-NC85D (Noice Cancelation)
XBA-BT75 (Bluetooth)
Full story, tech details and more pics coming up.
