## Overview

The SONXTRONIC XDR-8000 Vertical In-Ear Headband Headphones combine ultralight 0.48oz construction with a unique vertical earband design to deliver a secure, comfortable fit for runners and active users. Featuring high-performance magnetic drivers, breathable ear ventilation, and a 1-year warranty, these wired headphones offer audiophile-quality sound and extended wear comfort without the bulk of traditional sport headphones.

## Description

Audiophile quality, with most comfortable time tested design by cutting edge electronics company SONXTRONIC. Similar but vertical design to the sony mdr-w08 and sony mdr-w08L the SONXTRONIC XDR-8000 is a must have for active women and men wanting extended comfort in an attractive, simple, ultralight weight stay in place design with great looks and true quality sound for an ultralight sport headphone. Doesn't fall out like eabuds. Doesn't move like behind the ear headphones. Earpiece shape is the most comfortable for extended wear.

Review: Perfect - I wear glasses and it's very hard to find a headset that is comfortable over long periods. Generally, after less than an hour my ears hurt and I have to quit. These are very adjustable, very comfortable, and have great sound quality - surprising for their size. They are so lightweight that you hardly notice you are wearing them and I have no problem wearing them for hours. Love these so much I bought a second pair in case something happens to the first one I bought.
Review: Great Headphones, but be aware that they don't last long - So the last time I purchased these I purchased the added warranty, and I was definitely glad I did. The customer service was AWESOME. I got 2 pairs of headphones sent back to me after I returned the broken one. So the main issue with these headphones is that after awhile ( id say give or take 6-8 Months) the audio in one of the earbuds stops working. Its happened to every single headphone of these I've used. It may be that I just sweat alot lol but just want to put it out there that if you are looking for extremely durable headphones, look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for relatively cheap headphones that stay on your head while running or doing elliptical or what have you and don't make you look like a doofus with those GIANT over-ear bluetooth headphones that squeeze your ears to the point they feel bruised, then THESE are the headphones for you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these similar to the revered Sony's, in that it limits the sound to the actual user versus folks that may be sitting nearby you?**
A: Yes, very similar to the old Sony version. I just got mine, and can't tell the difference. I can't speak to reliability as they are only three days old, but they feel and sound the same.

**Q: Do these come in other colors?**
A: Yes. xdr-8001 is White and with grey/silver. (comes with the xdr-8000 series label)

**Q: What shape is the plug / jack on these headphones.  Straight plug or 90 degree angle plug?**
A: This is a 90 degree gold L shaped plug

**Q: Will this fit 5 year-old child's head?**
A: The headband itself is retractable/expandable in that you can expand it by pulling on it, and can push it back down to retract for smaller heads.  Fully retracted, from the bottom of the earbud to the top of the headband is about 5 1/2".  It might be a little large.  The more important issue I think is the size of the earbud, which I think is too large for a child.  It seems that headphones that sit outside the ear would be healthier for a child who is still developing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fit, decent sound, break too easily
*by P***Y on October 21, 2025*

I started running years ago with Sony MDR headphones and those are my gold standard but they are now discontinued. I don't like bluetooth - I end up messed with battery issues, or connectivity issues, and instead of running, I'm just messing with my headphones. Wired just works. But I am apparently in very small company with my opinion because after Sony discontinued theirs, there are not a lot of alternatives. These SonXTronic are the best that I have found but I have a like/hate relationship with them. I like the fit and the comfort and the fact that it is wired. But I just go through them. The earpieces will snap off if you aren't careful and I have had the in-ear speakers go out if they get too wet (which happens frequently while running). I've gone through a lot of sets of these things. It feels like I buy one set a year for the last 7 or 8 years. At any given moment, I will have one working pair, then it will fail usually on the day of a planned big run - so I'll run in silence for like 2 hours - and I'll order another pair. Like I said it's a "like/hate" relationship. They just so flimsy. But they are the best that I've found. And the price isn't outrageous when you figure I use them twice a week every week for a year. But it feels like they should be a bit better constructed... and yet, as soon as I finish this review, I'll buy my 8th or 9th pair. Because there aren't a lot of choices and this is the best of a bunch of bad options.
