Review: Running on a whole nother level - I am a runner and run with a group of ladies at 5am 4 times a week. I count on my music to keep me motivated and push me to the next level, and let me tell you I have left my headphones at home before and the morning was just not the same. My productivity was low. Up until recently, I had been using the Sony MDR-WO8l as my sports headphones of choice and had been really happy with them. But after a little mishap where they flew off my head and onto a concrete floor, I found myself in the market for a new pair of headphones. It was the first time in a long time that I had ever wrecked a pair so I thought I would look and see what was available and find the best one of the bunch. After testing a couple of headphones, I decided on the Sonxtronic XDR-8000. I really really like these headphones. If you are serious about working out and listening to music, you won’t go wrong with the Sonxtronic XDR-8000 sports headphones. First and foremost, the sound is definitely better. I was personally very happy with the original model, but these clearly take the mark when it comes to better quality audio output, the good realistic bass, the crisp highs, and the super clear mid-range tones were literally music to my ears and feet too. But sound output quality is not the only reason that made me choose the Sonxtronic XDR-8000 headphones. Apart from all this royal treatment I was getting from the sound quality I found them to be way more comfortable than my old headphones. These headphones are lighter and come with a longer, more durable cord, and there is a nice finish to the product which makes it not only feel great, as it rests comfortably on your ears, but I think it looks fantabulous on me as well. And the price, let's just say the price was the icing on the cake. They are one of the most inexpensive of the bunch that I tried, and are just as good as some of the top of the line sports headphones on the market. I don't know about you but I'm loving my new headphones and if you need a new pair I would definitely cop a pair. Enjoy, I am. 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. ## Features - Ultra comfort sport design (with polished smooth surfaces) - Vertical in ear headband: Best stay in place design for running and sports - Lets in some air and sound for ear breathability and personal saftey: 1 yr seller warranty - Ultra lightweight extended wear comfort for gaming and active sports - Sonxtronic extra high performance magnetic drivers deliver great sound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QHOCTG6 | | Additional Features | gold L plug provides exceptional connectivity for superior sound, standard 3. | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Exercising, Running | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,821 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,316 in Earbud & In-Ear Headphones | | Brand | SONXTRONIC | | Brand Name | SONXTRONIC | | Built-In Media | Cable | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | iPad | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Remote | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 2,179 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Ear Placement | In Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Angular shape with hook | | Enclosure Material | Plastic, Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) | | Form Factor | In Ear | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz | | Headphone Folding Features | In Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | In Ear | | Headphones Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 13.61 g | | Manufacturer | SONXTRONIC | | Model Name | Xdr-8000 | | Model Number | XDR-8000 XDR 8000 | | Noise Control | None | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Movies and Gaming, Personal, Sports and Exercise | | UPC | 680569050038 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SONXTRONIC - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** In Ear - **Form Factor:** In Ear - **Noise Control:** None ## Images ![SONXTRONIC Xdr-8000 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ASUD3JllL.jpg) ![SONXTRONIC Xdr-8000 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51h9RbifEiL.jpg) ![SONXTRONIC Xdr-8000 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tbFtKumcL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Running on a whole nother level *by M***T on July 10, 2015* I am a runner and run with a group of ladies at 5am 4 times a week.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - SONXTRONIC Xdr-8000 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones - SONXTRONIC White ICE Xdr-8001 Vertical in Ear Ultralight Sport Running Headband Headphones (mdr-w08l Style White and Silver) - Koss KPH14K Side Firing Headphone (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/9576361-sonxtronic-xdr-8000-vertical-in-ear-ultralight-sport-running-headband](https://www.desertcart.us/products/9576361-sonxtronic-xdr-8000-vertical-in-ear-ultralight-sport-running-headband) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
