Many people think that XBA may think of Sony's XB series. In fact, XBA and XB have nothing to do with it. BA (Balanced Armature) in XBA is a balanced armature technology. A year after XBA released the first generation of moving iron products, Sony updated the series again and released the second generation. The SONY XBA30, Sony's second-generation mobile iron high-end models are also on the market. One woofer is missing from the top-end XBA40 (the XBA40 has two woofer units). Unlike the previous generation, this generation is more mature.
Technically, the XBA30 adopts the design of the 3 moving iron unit. The time for the Sony to do the moving iron is not long. The XBA series is only the second generation, and its moving iron technology is also different from the traditional moving iron technology. The details are not detailed here. We still put our eyes on the actual experience and sense of hearing.
Unpacking: Packing is simple <br> The packaging of the new version of Sony's headphones sold in mainland China has become extremely simple. There is only one earphone and one storage bag in the package. The seven sets of hybrid earbuds and three sets of noise-isolated earplugs are all hidden in the storage bag.

The package is dominated by black, followed by red. The whole still gives people a feeling of luxury.

The top right corner of the package is marked with a three-cell feature.

Equipped with a clamp and a winder.
In terms of appearance, the overall design of the XBA30 has no astounding feeling, and the overall comparison is round and restrained. The wire has an oblate wire structure with fine lines on it, which increases the anti-winding and increases the durability. I also found that the XBA30's headphone cord is not so easy to knot, and it works better than a completely flat noodle. Internally, according to the official: PCOCC single crystal oxygen-free copper wire can reduce transmission loss. Unfortunately, the entire XBA series does not use a wire separation design, which is available on the high-end models of the EX series.

This time, the evaluation is in the gold version, and the appearance is very elegant.

The plug is a gold-plated L-shaped design.
Sound: Balanced and delicate <br> I remember someone said K420: Make all the sounds thicker, listen to Liang Jingru like Adu. Probably this means. The K420 and XBA30 are of course eight poles but not more than one piece, but I would like to say that the features of the XBA30 are the same as those of the K420. The XBA30 is to make all the sounds thinner. The female voice sounds very comfortable, but it is not sharp, but still retains a wealth of details. Unlike the mellow female voice of the female poison, the XBA30 portrays the female voice very pure and delicate. Of course, the uncle's rough voice is also crushed, so the vicissitudes of the male voice will have a metallic feeling. At the same time, I don't recommend that you use this plug to listen to rock. The sound of percussion is very uncomfortable after being crushed, especially Awkward voice. On the contrary, the performance in the string is gratifying, the details and levels of performance are excellent, some of the sounds of other headphones may not be heard at all, very small, but very clear interpretation.

The XBA30's listening evaluation used the iPhone4S as the front end. This is also because I don't think about fever. Then I also wrote XBA30 on the headset package to support iPhone and smartphone, so I decided to do so. Nowadays, many mobile phone manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the audio performance of mobile phones, and people are gradually getting used to listening to songs on mobile phones. When I was in Kunming, I witnessed a young man who listened to songs with Samsung galaxySIII and TF10. Since SONY's moving iron was easier to push, I decided to use the iPhone to test. The voice is too subjective. Secondly, the sound of the earphones in the ear will be shared by the listener. I will share it with you here.

In terms of sound, thanks to the three-unit design (full-frequency unit + low-frequency unit + high-frequency unit), the performance of the three-frequency balance is achieved, the resolution is high, and the sound reproduction is high. The low-frequency unit compensates for the weakness of the moving iron at low frequencies. The wood is not even burned at first. The first ear is sensitive to low frequency. The low frequency of XBA feels good. It is close to the dynamic headphones, and the dive is not deep. But it is flexible. If you change to a sponge cover, there is still some improvement. For me, I have reached satisfaction. Next, let's review it by comparing several representative songs.
The first thing I listened to was Tsai Chin's ferry. Let's take a look at the low frequency and then try the female voice. The prelude part is very good, and the low frequency performance is very happy. The sound is delicate and textured, and it is very popular for female voices. For simple background music performance is also very pure, comfortable to listen.

Then there is Sawano Hiroyuki as the mobile warrior: the OST written by the unicorn, the first to listen to UNICORN, the sound field is not wide, and the sense of space is longitudinally extended. In general, this kind of imposing work can not be performed well in the ear. We mainly look at the portrayal and layering of details, and the performance in this aspect is satisfactory. Secondly, I listened to A LETTER, and the interpretation of the female voice is also perfect. The orchestral part of the climax is more restrained.

The sound of the XBA30 gives a very cool feeling, just to the point, very precise, not to do too much rendering. There is no overtone in the moving circle. Of course, sometimes there is a lack of extension of sound. Has always maintained a certain highly reductive portrayal, the details are satisfactory. If you like, you can hear every instrument on the concert, which seems to be what Sony wants to do. At the same time, you can pay attention to this headset for the tail that women prefer.
SONY's time to get involved in moving iron is not long, but the experience accumulated in the development of dynamic headphones and other audio equipment for many years is still there. The tuning of the XBA 30 is not amazing, but it is a very delicate place for the restoration and characterization of the sound. As my title says: delicate, balanced. There is no need to highlight anything, nor deliberately render it, not to be greedy for a moment, and to use a simple restoration to provide users with a sound of listening.
