The black version of the Sony MDR-ZX110 Stereo Headphones utilize 30mm dynamic dome drivers with PET diaphragms in a closed-back supra-aural "on-ear" design to deliver an extended low frequency response of 12 to 22,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 98 dB/mW into a 24 ohm load.

For improved portability, the earcups can swivel flat and fold up into a more compact form factor. A flat Y-type cable design helps prevent tangles and terminates in an L-shaped stereo mini plug.
