I have the XBA-4s and I love them. They sound great. I can't really say the same for the XBA-2s because I've never tried them out.

They seem overpriced. I have had a pair of these for about 4 years, and they have been amazing.

Are they plastic or metal bodies?

They have a cheaper one, but this is the middle-of-the-line.

It's plastic, but it's not really that bad because it's pretty good quality. Oh and pro tip, don't buy them retail. Get them on eBay or something. I got the XBA-4s for $175. Yeah. I don't even know what fraction of the retail cost that is but there are some great deals out there.

it has about the same specs as the ones I posted. The only notable difference is that the sony ones go down to 4 Hz, whereas the ultimate ears go down to 20 Hz. However, this doesn't matter considering the human ear can't hear below 20 Hz anyways.

Right. That's not really a plus because it doesn't matter. Do you know what kind of drivers the ones you mentioned have? The Sonys use balanced armature drivers which is a new thing for Sony, and quite honestly they sound great.

I'll check them out, I was also looking at some Sennheisers. They are some of the high end ones, but they are last year's model, so they are discounted about $50

IE 60, they are $50 off, but if I could get the Sonys you have for the same price, I'll look for those
