The positives for mdr-xb50bs are the audio quality and does not have the annoying two pods inline like the sony w1-xb400.
They're not high end earbuds, so don't expect super high end sound quality.
The ear bud falls out of my left ear frequently, but i don’t have a problem with the right ear.

Not good for phone calls but the sound quality makes up for it the price is good sounds better than my powerbeats3
Packaging/appearance
I dislike how difficult it is to open the little cover for charging the headset on the mdr-xb50bs.

It always takes some extra effort to get this into my ear properly and they seem to hurt one of my ears after wearing them awhile unlike the sony w1xb400 which i liked much better for comfort and ease of putting them in and never had issue of comfort no matter how long i wore them

I would say get the mdrxb50bs if you care about music sound quality and are a current sony w1xb400 user maybe the ear piece works for you and comfort not an issue
