Redefining Acoustic Possibilities.
High-Resolution Audio from hybrid driver ear-buds.
Crafted in Japan, our XBA-Z5s use high-quality components to redefine the acoustic
possibilities of in-ear headphones. An aluminium-coated LCP driver ensures consistent,
precise sound, while light magnesium super tweeters deliver greater clarity. Connect to
the optional PHA-3 amp for an unmatched High-Resolution Audio experience.
Full-Spectrum Sound.
Rich bass, accurate mid-range, and crystal-clear highs – experience pristine sound across
the entire frequency range with a 3-way hybrid driver system. A wide 3Hz–40kHz frequency
range lets you listen to High-Resolution Audio files. The result is rich studio-quality
sound that you can feel as well as hear.
What is High-Resolution Audio?
High-Resolution Audio is a collection of digital processes and formats. Music is encoded
and played back using higher sampling rates than the standards used in CDs.
Balanced Audio Capable.
With a balanced cable comprising four silver-coated copper wires, and independent ground
wires for both channels (in blue and yellow), you’ll hear clear, precise sound.
Created & Tested with Uncompromising Precision.
Sony products made in Japan are synonymous with absolute quality and performance. Only
the finest components and manufacturing techniques are used to create headphones that
push the boundaries of sound purity.
Mouldable Ear Hangers for A Secure Fit.
Don’t worry about your earbuds falling out when you’re on the move. Mouldable ear hangers
are crafted from shape-memory resin core – a light, durable material that moulds to the
shape of your ears – for a secure, comfortable fit.
