The entire first-gen "pillow" XB semi-open headphone line is legendary except maybe the XB300. That's the XB500, XB700, and XB1000. The XB1000 had a short production run and is difficult to obtain, and is now worth >$1000 on the secondary market. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfPEm80kwCc) is a comparison of all three. Sony's open headphone swan song was the MA900 which was a lighter HD600 alternative. It, too, has appreciated in value because no one realized at the time that it would be Sony's last open headphone. That was **10 years ago.** Then Sony decided that open headphones were too niche of a market and stopped making them. Every full-sized headphone they've made since the MA900 is closed, and the current XB line of headphones are just low-end closed wireless versions of the 1000X line.
