It’s All About That Bass

Sony announced a powerful addition to its audio line-up, with a host of the new products dedicated to delivering deep bass. Expanding the existing EXTRA BASS series of headphones for when you’re on the move and bringing club sounds into your home, dance music lovers can now enjoy the intensity of deep bass notes in a variety of locations using the one box high power audio system or portable wireless speakers.

GTK-XB7: One box, boombastic bass. With fabulous sound, bags of power and massive low frequency response from two large 16cm woofers, the XB7 turns nights at home into a premium clubbing experience. Sony’s unique EXTRA BASS technology uses DSP technology that cleverly processes frequencies according to the source while maintaining excellent audio quality. Music sounds and feels even more powerful, with punchy and deep bass notes that define today’s pulsing electronic dance tracks.

SRS-XB3 / SRS-XB2: Impress your friends when you’re out and about with the SRS-XB3 and SRS-XB2 portable wireless speakers with dedicated EXTRA BASS button to pump up the party. A whole host of big technologies are housed inside the XB3 to achieve a hugely punchy bass for its small size. These include a newly developed 48mm large full range speaker unit, Sony’s unique DSP which dynamically applies the optimal compression process to suit each level of a track, a large capacity battery to achieve stable and significant output power and dual passive radiators to augment the bass ranges.

MDR-XB650BT: is a Bluetooth compatible, compact addition to the existing EXTRA BASS series of Sony headphones. With a 30mm driver exclusive to this range, together with an incorporated bass booster structure and dedicated EXTRA BASS diaphragm, the headphones achieve highly realistic notes that precisely carve out the rhythm and groove feeling of the bass. Keeping you wire free, One-touch Bluetooth connection and music playback is offered via NFC. Compatible with AAC and aptX Bluetooth codecs, it enables a premium audio quality sound even when listening wirelessly.

The new EXTRA BASS line-up from Sony will be available in Europe in April 2016 priced at approximately €350 (GTK-XB7), €170 (SRS-XB3), €120 (SRS-XB2) and €130 (MDR-XB650BT).
