Verdict

The Sony MDR-ZX300 is a lightweight (120g), supra-aural on-ear headphone featuring 30mm dome-type driver units with neodymium magnets and a wide frequency response of 10–24,000 Hz. These wired headphones utilize a closed-back, dynamic design to provide sound isolation and deep bass performance, supported by a 24-ohm impedance and 102 dB/mW sensitivity. Key pros include its high power handling capacity (1,000mW), highly portable swivelling earcups for flat storage, and a tangle-resistant 1.2m Y-type serrated cord with a gold-plated L-shaped mini plug. However, potential cons include the primarily plastic construction which some users find thin or 'plasticky,' and pressure-relieving earpads that may become uncomfortable during long listening sessions for some users.
