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.

XBA-1 Single Balanced Armature Full Range Headphones

Crystal clear profound vocal sound.

The Balanced Armature driver in XBA-1 is specially designed to produce an even response across the full sound range, with consistent high sensitivity over low to high frequencies. This results in a highly precise reproduction of crystal-clear and profound vocal sound - bringing you hours of music enjoyment and comfort.

Multiplexing Capabilities

Finely tuned headphones to suit your listening needs.

Tune in to a more precise and richer sound experience with Sony Balanced Armature Headphones. With a unique multiplexing system that combines Balanced Armature Full Range, Woofer, Tweeter and Super Woofer units, Sony has created 4 distinct models - Single, Dual, Triple and Quad Balanced Armature Headphones. So you can enjoy richly textured and highly nuanced sounds, based on your listening needs. Now, doesn't that sound great?

The basic BA driver design produces an even response across the full sound range, with improvements over previous models for high frequencies.

Acting as a low-pass filter to block higher frequencies while amplifying lower ones, this drive is fitted with fine pores to cut off high-frequency sounds.

A specially designed diaphragm, coil and damper are used to enhance playback of high-end frequencies, delivering a bright, clear sound.

This driver features even finer pores than the woofer unit to improve playback of very low-range frequencies that are lower than the woofer's range. The result provides a full, rich bass sound.

Double-Layered Housing

Designed for superior sound enhancement and enjoyment.

Sony's XBA-1 features a uniquely designed double-layered housing. Its inner housing is made with Liquid Crystal Polymer for smoother sound response, while the outer housing utilises a special ABS to reduce internal vibrations. The result? You get to enjoy superior sound quality and lesser noise distortion!

Noise Isolation

Free your ears from unnecessary noise interruptions. The sealed housing structure of Sony Balanced Armature Headphones is designed to isolate noise and prevent sound leakage to and from your environment. So you'll be able to immerse yourself in your favourite tracks without any disturbance.

Why Choose Sony Balanced Armature Headphones?

Made In Japan Balanced Armature Drivers

With specially Made In Japan Balanced Armature Drivers, Sony is able to customise and finely tune its headphones to provide a wider range of precision sound reproduction. By having greater control over the design of its various drivers, this has led to the development of a variety of specialised headphones - to suit your listening needs better.
