Sony ZX Series MDRZX110/BLK

★★★★★ 4.5 (35,379)

The 30mm neodymium drivers and Acoustic Bass Booster technology emphasize bass-heavy sound within a 12Hz-22kHz frequency range. Weighing just 119g with a foldable design and 3.9-foot tangle-free cord, it prioritizes grab-and-go portability at a budget price. These headphones are best for casual listeners who want a lightweight, wired, on-ear option for bass-driven music and simple daily use, not for studio monitoring or calls.
