Sony introduced its new Extra Bass headphone series, available in headband-type and in ear bud versions. This new line combines Sonys expertise in superior audio engineering, comfort, and style, while delivering an enhanced acoustic design. The range of sub harmonics is deeper than the more traditional line, ideal for today’s music.
“Sony’s sound engineers are committed to providing an unprecedented level of audio performance,” said Andrew Sivori, vice president of the Personal Audio Division at Sony Electronics. “Our new Extra Bass lineup of headphones delivers solid low frequency response, enhancing the signature of today’s music styles.”
