What is Balanced Armature?

The makings of superior sound quality.

Balanced Armature Drivers have a high-precision design. Its unique sealed casing features a spring force and magnetic pulling force, which are balanced on the armature - allowing it to move freely and produce optimal audio quality. Balanced Armature drivers also offer greater flexibility and can be specifically tuned for higher or lower ranges and combined to emphasise certain sounds. This enables precise control over the sound quality.

Waterproof Performance

Lets you do more with its water and sweat resistance.

By eliminating the air duct, Sony's Balanced Armature Driver in XBA-S65 has a greater resistance to water compared to other models. Together with a high sound transmission waterproof film (rated at Ingress Protection X7: immersion proof), this makes the headphones more water and sweat resistant as well as easily washable - a perfect companion for your active sporty lifestyle!

Adjustable Ear Loop

Made to fit comfortably, easily. Designed to provide a snug fit, XBA-S65 has an adjustable ear loop mechanism that easily wraps around your ears for greater comfort and convenience. Giving you maximum music and sports enjoyment!

Noise Isolation

Free your ears from unnecessary noise interruptions. Besides keeping water out, XBA-S65 is made to keep noise away. Its sealed housing structure isolates noise and prevents sound leakage from and to your surroundings. So you'll be able to tune in to your music and the rest of the world out.
