Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones do work perfectly almost all the time for your music entertainment needs but you may experience difficulties during product ownership. There are troubleshooting steps to take before seeking warranty service from the manufacturer if you hear sound playback problems on your Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones. They are: 1. Make sure the 3.5mm stereo mini plug is connected firmly to your portable audio player. 2. Turn the volume control up on your playback device if no sound is coming in to the headphones. 3. Make sure the 3.5mm mini plug is connected to the 3.5mm or 6.3mm Stereo Headphone Jack (with optional .25-inch component stereo plug adapter) to ensure proper sound delivery. If the headphone jack on your audio player is not working, you can plug the headphones into the 3.5mm Line Output Jack of the source component, if available. 4. Did you plug the headphones into a Stereo Headphone Jack? If not, the sound will only be heard through the Left side of the headphones. You can purchase a stereo-to-mono mini plug adapter to correct this issue when connecting the headphones to a pocket radio. 5. You can purchase a third party .25-inch component stereo mini plug adapter from an electronics store to connect the headphones to a home audio receiver. 6. Do not plug the headphones directly into a wired remote controller that was supplied with your portable audio player. 7. Check to see if your stereo headphone extension cord is damaged. If it is, the sound on your headphones will cease or become distorted. Disconnect or replace the stereo headphone extension cord to resolve the problem. 8. Do not plug the headphones into a Microphone Jack. 9. Do not connect the headphones to any jack labeled “Audio In” on the home stereo or portable audio source player. 10. Plug the headphones into another audio component to see if the audio problems are removed. If the audio problem is now fixed, your MP3 or other audio player may be the culprit. 11. Check the batteries in your portable audio device. Dead batteries will cause your headphones not to work. Replace the batteries in your portable player to correct the problem. 12. Use another pair of headphones on your portable audio player to determine if the extra bass headphones are at fault. 13. Do not expose your headphones to severe mechanical shock. 14.

Clean the mini plug connector with a soft cloth if it becomes soiled during field use applications. 22. Do not adjust the headband beyond factory parameters. 23. Do not modify the internal components of your headphones. 24. The manufacturer does not provide technical support for third party headphone amplifiers. 25. The manufacturer does not provide official instructions for an extra bass headphone burn-in procedure. 26. Use a cable to tie for efficient cord length management. 27. Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. 28. Do not wear headphones while crossing the street. 29. Stop using the headphones immediately if your ears hurt or if there is ringing in your ears. 30.

You can plug the extra bass headphones into a 3.5mm stereo mini jack, 3.5mm dual output monophonic earphone jack, 3.5mm single-output mono earphone jack, 2.5mm earphone jack with an appropriate third party conversion adapter or a 6.3mm stereo headphone jack with an optional ¼” component stereo plug adapter. 33. If the source component does not have one of these compatible female headphone input connector jacks then your extra bass headphones will not work with your portable audio player. 34. Do not place heavy objects on the headphones. 35. Do not throw things like a baseball, football, basketball, tennis or soccer ball at the headphones. 36. Do not press or push the headphone XB drivers directly up against your ears. 37. The factory installed ear cushions may deteriorate over a prolonged period of time. 38. Always pull the mini plug connector out of the headphone socket to disconnect the headphones from the MP3 Player. 39. Do not pull the cord directly to detach the headphones. 40. Do not use a pair of scissors near the cord to avoid severing the cord. 41. Do not place the headphones in direct sunlight or near an active radiator for a significant period of time. 42.

Never disassemble or attempt to repair your extra bass headphones. 44.

The successor model to the Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones is the Sony MDR-XB400iP Extra Bass Headphones for iPhone. The two XB headphone models are identical in technical specifications.

Emergency Alert System (EAS) warnings on the FM/AM bands when attached to a portable radio’s 3.5mm Headphone Jack without a built-in speaker. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones can be connected to a portable FM HD Radio’s 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Output Jack at home, in a boat, on campgrounds, traveling in a recreational vehicle or in a car but not in a basement, tunnel or underground location. I recommend the following portable HD radio tuner’s for this phenomenal on-the-go digital radio experience: Insignia NS-HD01, Insignia NS-HD01A, Insignia NS-HD02, Insignia NS-HDRAD and Coby HDR650. HD radio provides many benefits to consumers including dramatically increased audio fidelity on FM/AM stations, wide dynamic range, FM stereo sound, digital AM stereo sound on the FM HD radio sub-channels, live HD broadcasts of local professional sports teams, multiple simultaneous news, talk and music program feeds on different FM HD1, HD2 and HD3 broadcast channels, auto HD/analog reception mode switching, broadcast HD logo on HD radio programs, HD radio signal strength meter, instant station frequency, artist info, song title, album info, album cover art and call sign FM station identification, iTunes tagging, live pause, bookmark feature, reduced multipath distortion artifacts, virtual elimination of noise, static, hissing, popping, fading and birdie sounds often found on conventional AM Band radio transmissions, real-time news, weather and traffic reports. The HD broadcast signal does not provide extended reception coverage to geographical locations that are normally impossible to obtain high quality analog radio reception in. HD radio transmissions are broadcast alongside their traditional analog counterpart. An HD radio receiver reverts back to analog transmissions when the broadcast digital signal is weak, obstructed or lost due to a poor reception area. An HD radio receiver that is connected to the Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones is not likely to obtain better FM Band reception compared to an analog FM/AM tuner. Elite XB Headphone drivers must be able to reproduce treble notes accurately to present a realistic concert listening experience. The treble range embraces high-pitched vocals and some musical instruments such as cymbals or keyboards. The low frequencies originate from bass guitar, piano or drums. Midrange driver frequencies contain most vocals and musical instruments like guitar, keyboards or drums. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones reproduce midrange and low bass frequencies with acute competence. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones offer a compelling stereo soundstage and produce the entire sound atmosphere associated with todays club music milieu. Ultimately XB Headphone driver speaker quality and its subsequent audio reproduction depend on multiple factors which include the type of materials used to manufacture the drivers, the sensitivity rating of the drivers and the quality of the source component player that the extra bass headphones are joined to. XB Stereo Headphones with a higher sensitivity rating can play more loudly with less audible distortion without turning the volume all the way up on the audio player to achieve satisfying loudness. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones have a high sensitivity rating, measured in decibels, to ensure supreme amplification at moderate volume levels. The better performing Sony XB Headphones boast neodymium magnets, large speaker diameter, advanced magnet diaphragms for resonant bass response, high-end voice coils to capture the emotions of the singer, super comfortable memory foam ear pads, adjustable headband, professional build, tangle-resistant serrated cord, Gold-plated L-shaped mini plug connector and they can reproduce bass notes that are on par with a home theaters dedicated subwoofer. Low bass response should be realized without a dedicated headphone amplifier or custom/preset equalizer sound modes on the portable audio player. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones meet all the criteria listed above rather easily to become outstanding and they quickly outperform its bass-focused headphone competition. Sony MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Stereo Headphones demonstrate versatile vocal range on opera musical scores. Countertenor, tenor, baritone and bass vocals from male singers are vibrant, clear, detailed, present perfect pitch and are exquisitely powerful. Female vocalists are well-defined, naturally pleasant and superbly warm across the soprano, mezzo-soprano and contralto octave vocal ranges. Vocals on classic rock, country, oldies, Motown hits, disco, the blues and love songs have an amazing arrangement on a deeply pulsating soundstage. Musical instrument reproduction is precise on guitar and drums. The harmonica, tambourine, violin, oboe, flute, cello, clarinet, mandolin, saxophone, banjo, bass guitar, snare drum, piano and harp instruments are re-created with marvelous transparency that is just refreshing to experience on a daily basis. It is important to compare and contrast the MDR-XB400/GRN Extra Bass Headphones to its predecessor the MDR-XB300 Extra Bass Headphones. The MDR-XB300 headphones features will be explored first and then there will be a discussion on what the differences between the XB Headsets are.

The Y-shaped durable cord provides optimal length, reduced tangles and freedom of movement for the Sony Walkman that I plug into it on occasion. The 3.5mm (1/8”) Gold-plated L-shaped stereo mini plug offers seamless connectivity to your portable entertainment devices with 3.5mm or 6.3mm Headphone Jacks and maximum signal transfer from the source component to the stereo drivers.
