Sony WH-XB910N EXTRA BASS Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headset with Microphone and Alexa Voice Control, Black

I love this product. I was considering saving for the WH-1000XM4's, but I wanted a pair of Sony headphones really bad. So I bought these when they were $100 off, and I do not regret it. Great features and sound quality is amazing. Voices are clear, bass is very thumpy, and the volume definitely gets up there. I mainly use them for gaming, listening to music, and watching videos. I have no problems using these for any of these activities. The noise cancelling is mind-blowing. These are my first pairs of ANC Headphones, and I am very impressed. It blocks out taps and clicks and outside voices are barely heard. The feature where you can put your hand over the right earcup and it brings in outside audio I super useful. When someone walks in my room to talk for a second, I can just hold my hand there for the conversation. If it is a little more than just a short convo, i usually turn on the Ambient sound mode for eaiser listening without taking the heaphones off. The build quality is also amazing. The earcup rotation is very nice for when i'm not using them and can hang them around my neck. The hardshell travel case is super, super nice. When i'm done with them, I always put them in the case because if anything happens, they are very safe. Comfort wise, I am very impressed. These fit around my ears perfectly and do not hurt after long periods of time wearing them. When I put them on, I can feel the earcups griping onto my ears not too much, but not to the point where they will fall off my head. This definitely helps play a huge role in the sound quality and noise cancelling. It makes it so much better and just a much more imersive experience. Overall, these are very high-quality headphones. I would recommend them as first-time ANC Headphones if it wasn't for the $248.99 price tag. But if you ever see these at a much lower price and are looking for high-quality, comfortable headphones, these will not disapoint.

I really like these. I've owned the Sony XM5s and the Bose Q45s, not counting the Skull Crushers, Marshall's, Beats Solos, and Soundcore Q35s, because none of those compare to the first two. I will keep it real here, these are not the 5s or 45s in sound, or design quality, but they shouldn't be. I paid over $300 for those two and paid a 3rd of the price for these. I got these used for like $86. The Sound Quality on these Sonys are very good not great for the music I listen to. I listen to mostly Hip-hop, then r&b, Soul, and Gospel when in the mood. These for sure bump. The bass on these are clean, crisp, and just bang. The bass is actually better than any of the headphones listed above. I consider myself an audiophile, I've always been into music and quality sound. Searching for the best sound I can find. The mids and highs on these don't compare to the 5s or 45s at all but they also aren't bad. For the price, build quality, and battery life, you can't go wrong. If you love strictly vocals these don't super shine in that category. If you love bass and want a nice clean sharp sounding headphones, that should last a while, these are amazing for what I paid for them. If these go up to original price in the mid $200s I would just spend a little more for the 5s because those are the best headphones I've ever heard from the ones I've listened to. For sub $100, for the music I listen to, these can't be beat. My one and only complaint, which has been mentioned in the comments, is they don't get as loud as I'd like, which is sad because they for sure can handle it. At full blast they will give you a great experience and the noise canceling is very good. Again the 5s and 45s are better at noise canceling by a small margin, see a theme here? But on a plane, I zone out, and am in my own world. Bottom line you won't be disappointed unless you want to lose your hearing at a young or old age I guess, and need honestly speaking, too much volume. I wish I had more volume but not by much. These work just fine, and it's probably a good thing they don't get louder because I'd listen to them as loud as they would go, that's just me.

The sound is great out of these. Great lows and mids. Great clarity. At first I wasn't impressed by the volume and wanted it to go higher. I finally found my fix for this by downloading a sound booster app for my phone. Seems like the issue with volume level is something to do with my phone itself and not the headphones. The are actually really comfortable. I use these for both personal use for watching movies and TV or listening to music on my phone and also for my job. I work in a call center and am on the phone 8+ hours a day. Honestly I probably have these on a good 10+ hours a day and they don't start to bother me at all. They are SUPER comfortable. The only con I found in these is that the touch pad on the right side is horrible. It never responded correctly to my swipes when I did have it activated. It's almost like I couldn't swipe directly up and down or across but I had to do it more diagonally and that would work maybe 50% of the time. Then it was super sensitive to anything else touching it. The hood of my jacket would brush it and turn the song or turn the volume way down or up. I finally had enough and turned that feature off. Now that I've done that I have to be really careful of not touching the right side because sometimes when that side is touched I hear a weird static noise and it cuts the headphones off. Almost like without the touch pad turned on it freaks out when touched and shorts out the entire system.

Headphones are my life! Let me explain.... I've always loved Headphones from a young age. A Walkman was with me from birth it feels like. I Dj'd in the early 2000s and Headphones became more somehow. I'm a full time detailer and music is very important to me and helps me work. I've been through hundreds of Headphones from old plug in to Bluetooth and I've hit so many brands. I was earbuds for years until a coworker turned me on to over the ear 3 years ago. I took a chance on a no name brand and was pleasantly surprised. Cheap $20 headphones lasted 2 1/2 years and were great. Then I got a new job ,started making more money and had to work in a very loud shop. My $20 headphones didn't sound the same. I knew I was due for an upgrade and battery life was starting to go on My cheapies. I was put into a place like most that I had to upgrade and thought it would be easy and cheap but I was very wrong. I spent a week researching and reading reviews for every headphones. When I Dj'd my favorite headphones were my Sony Mdr-v700dj and paired with my Sony erricson Walkman phone in 2008 were a very sweet setup. I knew I didn't want to spend crazy money on headphones because wearing while you work definitely risk breaking them. So I ordered these with the idea I'll just return if I don't like. I hated them the first day! Sound was horrible, fit was tight, connection was horrible and I couldn't figure out controls. Went home that night ready to return and remembered reading a review about a Sony app for them. I downloaded it and it fixed all sound problems! Extra bass now worked! Connecting through the app made weird crackling go away. Still unsure of returning I brought to work again. I don't read instructions I grab and learn. I didn't realize it had a noise canceling button and just thought it always had it on. In this moment every sound was pushed out and the music was just clear and perfect. Extra bass makes it sound like a little subwoofer is in there lol. Waited 3 months to write a review so I could see if they are tough and they hold up well to my work environment. Happy to report I've figured out and really love the touch controls. When I was searching I didn't think I needed this but it's awesome and I'm not sure how I lived without it. Phone calls too.... my old headphones calls sounded horrible on both ends. These sound creepy good 👍🏻 like they are in the same room

First, buying uses never felt so good. The headphones arrived in the original packaging, and felt brand new. The only way I could tell the headphones were used is that the headphones are programmed to other devices. All I had to do was clear those devices in the app. It was simple. Second, the headphones are amazing. I have a large head, and these are the most comfortable headphones/earbuds I have ever used. I can keep these on for hours and not feel any discomfort. Having a large head, I usually have to fully extend the band to fit my head. With these headphones, I fully extend them to place them on my head, but then adjust the band to fit snug. It's great. I am a bass head. I want deep bass that punches my ears. These headphones gave me this, plus more. There is so much bass, that I had to play with my devices equalizer to match the headphones. Once I hit that sweet spot, the bass and sound hits hard and sweet. I mostly listen to rock and rap. Both genres sound great with these headphones. The headphones fit great and sound better than anything I have used. Purchasing these as used, at a low price, makes it even sweeter.

Have had this for almost 3 years they work perfectly have not broken or cracked either the quality is great and very easy to use the only is since it’s touch based if it’s in your neck when not in use it keep trying ti use Siri or turn the music on or off this is my life savor at the airport the noise canceling is amazing

First and foremost - these kick ass. The bass is there and the volume is there. Not huge on the touch settings but I’ll grow into it. I only use headphones for the gym so something that will get very loud and has some decent punch is what I’m looking for in headphones. A couple years ago I had the beat flex’s and after about 6 months of gym use they were done for, couldn’t handle ear sweat. On top of that I had to shove them nearly half way into my ear canal at the perfect position to hear any sort of bass. Fast forward to this week, I bought an $8 set of wireless earbuds from Dollar General while I hunted for the perfect pair. I went in blind and took the Target employees suggestion and bout the Beats Studio 3’s. Tested them in the parking lot and immediately walked back in to return them. No bass and the volume would not exceed that of a mouse’s fart. $199 vs $8, the clear winner is the $8 DG headphones - no bass and only slightly less loud than the beats, $192 in my pocket all day long. I went back to target and took the time to connect the Sony 910’s and 1000’s to Bluetooth to test them out along with Bose’s 700’s. Boss 700s and Sony 1000’s had an overall better sound quality but had no bass whatsoever. The 910’s checked every box. I’m in the gym pumping out iron, I do not notice the small difference in sound quality, but I do notice the bass that pumps me up and gets me through the set. This is a great balance between price and function for me, Sony for me moving forward. Beats are overpriced trash.

This review is written to be as accessible as possible. Things will be explained in parenthesis ( ), feel free to skip them if you already know the meaning of the term. Important notes will be in ALL CAPS, to allow for easier skimming. I WILL NOT BE COVERING THE APP EXPERIENCE AND TOUCH CONTROLS, as I felt they were all fairly STANDARD FOR THE PRICE. Audio quality: Definitely BASS HEAVY (bass being the low sounds, like bass drum, bass guitar, or a particularly deep synth), bordering on muddy (refers to so much thick, unrefined bass that it drowns out other parts of the music), but they manage to stay NOT MUDDY due to the CLARITY of the bass. IF YOU CRAVE BASS BUT HAVE SOME STANDARDS, these will be EXCELLENT for you. The MIDS (sounds like piano, the human voice, horns) are DROWNED OUT BY THE BASS, with specifically ELECTRIC GUITAR tending to LOSE DEPTH, but MOST HUMAN VOICES ARE STILL CLEAR WITH SLIGHT DEVELOPMENT (clear, present, and a slight bump to depth), WITH FEMALE VOICES HAVING A PLEASANT EXTRA SPARKLE (A little bit of extra sharpness and presence, with particular regard to high pitched sounds). The TREBLE (higher sounds, cymbals tend to fall here, high strings, etc) generally has a slight SPARKLE, but is overall INCONSISTENT. If you listen to 2 songs from different groups, the cymbals will be varying volumes between them. This is because drummers do not (usually) tune to set notes, and instead tune to a "feel". Having such variance in sound quality in an area that already has so much variance between songs can be very DISTRACTING, and can make some songs feel completely different than intended. They have NARROW SOUNDSTAGE (soundstage is the "wideness" of the sound, does it feel like the band are playing in a closet with you in the middle, or does it feel like you are in the studio, and they are all spaced out around you?), with the extra bass particularly feeling like it resides right in the center of your skull. They have MEDIOCRE IMAGING (imaging is the specific directionality of the sound. with good imaging on a good recording, you should be able to point to exactly where each band member is around you), leaving the non-tonal audio quality metrics as LACK LUSTER FOR THE PRICE TAG. Comfort: The EAR PADS are PLUSH, with the fake(?) leather feeling NON-PLASTICY. The HEAD BAND PADDING is SUB-PAR, feeling little better than no padding at all. The CLAMPING FORCE (how tightly the ear cups press on your head) is SLIGHTLY OVERDONE, so these WILL NOT FALL OFF, but can be UNCOMFORTABLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF USE. General Build Quality: They are almost entirely PLASTIC and pleather, but both feel like they are implemented with the consumer in mind, with the PLEATHER being COMFORTABLE ON SKIN, and the plastic being SMOOTH, with only 1 notable SHARP SEEM where the cups are pieced together on the LEFT SIDE, but NOT SO SHARP AS TO BE A DOWNSIDE. They seem DURABLE ENOUGH, I wouldn't slam them against the wall, but they feel like THEY WILL SURVIVE REGULAR USE LONG ENOUGH FOR THE BATTERIES TO GET FULL LIFE EXPECTENCY. The Bluetooth Problem: Bluetooth headphones are NOT A LIFE-LONG PURCHASE. They have a life expectancy of about 1-3 YEARS due to battery degradation. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A PAIR OF HEADPHONES THAT WILL LAST, BUY WIRED. Closing Remarks: While the heavy bass is undeniably FUN, these would be very GRATING FOR LONG TERM USAGE. I would recommend purchasing if you can check at least 2 of these boxes: - The hardest of hard bass heads - A lifestyle headphone that doubles well for gaming (the bass punch makes gunshots sound very clear, something entertaining for gaming) - Getting high (if legal where you are) and listening to the spaciest of spacing out music - Have the expendable income for a pair of exclusively "Fun gimmick" headphones With the caveat that: -They are terrible for movies or anything primarily spoken word -They have enough bass to kill a stable of horses -Seriously, don't give these to your horses -You can get nicer sound quality for the price (Audio impressions were taken mostly from my favorite analyzing song, Cygnus X-1 Book 2: Hemispheres, by Rush. Your impressions may vary. Have your own opinions. If you LOVE how these sound, I am so happy that you could find what you wanted in these headphones.)

I searched so many headphones but all were expensive finally i saw this Sony headphones. Received quickly and sound is amazing you can connect with 2 devices. I contacted with my laptop and iPhone. Really every time no need to connect it's working automatically with both devices. Battery good too. And Base with the music is amazing you can adjust manually.

Headphone muito bom. Som bom, fácil de usar e de conectar, longa duração de bateria. Ótimo cancelamento / isolamento de som externo. Tenho uma única reclamação: quando conectado simultaneamente a dois dispositivos (iPhone e MacBook), há certa confusão para atender chamadas telefônicas. As vezes funciona, as vezes não funciona.

I am writing this review after a whole month of use. So do read till the end. I wrote few tips to improve the sound quality too at the end. Pros: 1. Good quality ANC. Completely blocks low frequency noises. 2. Very good sound quality (require little bit of tweaking on Sony app, see my screenshots posted above) 3. Very felixible, good passive noise cancelling through ear cups. 4. Ear cups are of very good quality and can support big stick out ears too. 5. Hard case for travel friendliness and protection. 6. Awesome microphone quality for a bluethooth headphone. Blocks lots of external noises for phone calls. Cons: 1. Less premium plasticy build (although it is very turdy) 2. Default equalizer does not sound great. One must tweak it or atleast use "Bright" equalizer preset mode in sony app. 3. It can not block high frequency noises that well. If you need complete noise cancellation shell out 30k and purchase XM5. Do not look for 30k quality ANC in a 10k headphone. Set your expectations accordind to budget. Tips: 1. For android users out there: Must turn on LDAC on your bluetooth settings. After pairing with this headphone, go to your bluetooth setting in phone settings. Then settings for WH-XB910N. There under the codecs option turn on LDAC. 2. In Sony App DO NOT TURN ON "Connect 2 devices simultaneously" option. It will disable LDAC and sound quality will be degraded. 3. In sony-headphone-app turn on DSEE mode. 4. In sony-headphone-app, for bluetooth connection quality, Choose "Priority on Sound quality" 5. I have put an image of my personal manual equalizer settings. Use that or modify it as your ear likes. If you do not like bass, reduce the clear bass all the way to 0 for phone calls. Save 2 custom equalizer, one for music/movie with bass boost, another for zoom call/video call/regular call with 0 bass. (Thank me later for these tips) These 5 setting tweak will change the music quality drastically. Check my screenshots posted above for guidance. Final verdict: Those who do not tweak these settings they will keep complaining about this headphone. But this is the best 10k I have ever spent on a gadget. S0ny wins hearts.

Son mis primeros headphones de este precio, ya he probado otros productos Sony de gamas bajas como los ch510 y los ex110ap y quería dar el salto a los 1000xm4 pero decidí probar con algo intermedio. En primer instancia son bastante cómodos y el asistente de Google o alexa funcionan muy bien, con herramientas que casi no he probado o no conocía. El estuche no esta nada mal, funciona bien para protegerlos. El auxiliar que viene se nota algo frágil pero tengo auxiliares de sobra y mejores si algo pasa. La cancelación de ruido puede variar en gustos de cada quien, yo probe los audífonos en tiendas departamentales antes de decidir si comprarlos o no, esa sería mi recomendación. La cancelación de ruido pasiva es bastante buena, excelente. Los headphones tienen un pequeño ruido agudo que es la cancelación de ruido activa que no me molesta , ya que para mí elimina parte del ruido externo pero a veces me funciona mejor el modo ruido del viento para mitigar mejor el ruido externo, pero en general te acostumbras o no lo percibes cuando escuchas música, esto les pasa a todos los dispositivos por igual aún no se llega a una eliminación del 100% no esperes eso. El modo ambiente es otra cosa, en verdad escucho todo a detalle, me gusta bastante cuando cruzó las calles o cuando alguien me pregunta algo es bastante útil, los comandos táctiles son bastante precios en mi caso y muy útiles. En cuestión de batería llevo casi 4 meses con ellos y solo los he cargado 2 veces, les dura bastante la batería, claro que depende el usuario, porqué también los conecto por auxiliar para ver películas con Dolby que no consume batería en mi laptop o algún otro dispositivo. El micrófono ha funcionado bien las pocas veces que lo he usado, honestamente no me ha importado este apartado ni lo he probado a fondo, aún usando cubrebocas. En mis clases en línea yo tengo un micrófono Rode por eso no le prestó importancia. Ahora la parte mas complicada, el audio, sabía que estos audífonos eran extrabass y auque ya los había probado en entornos ruidos los uso más en lugares silenciosos y si noto que los audífonos amplifican mas los bajos y los agudos y medios quedan mas de lado (esto en un principio me decepciono y pensé en regresarlos decidí darles una oportunidad) puede parecer general pero el audio si varía en el dispositivo en que hagas la conexión y el contenido que estes mirando, cuando uso Netflix o prime en laptop, aprovecho bastante el sonido Dolby, además tengo la licencia de Dolby en mi pc, es bastante bueno el audio, la música también es excelente, en el teléfono puede variar dependiendo la calidad de la pista que estes escuchando, por lo regular uso mp3 o flac,no siempre se notan los bajos dependiendo la pista o incluso la mejora. Te acostumbras con estos headphones, la verdad es saber aprovecharlos y saber en dónde usarlos, para que los usarás y cómo, para poder explotar su potencial, para mi son muy útiles y excelentes. Claro que el gusto rompe en géneros .

Varios puntos: -Me gustaron mucho los modos (modo ambiente y cancelación de ruido). Los compré por la cancelación de ruido y terminé usando mucho más el modo ambiente, para cuando camino en la calle sin tanto peligro o cuando quiero platicar con alguien el modo ambiente es cómo si no tuvieras los audífonos puestos, pero siguiera sonando la música igual de bien, me pareció maravilloso. La cancelación de ruido depende de en dónde estés y que tanto ruido haya, funciona. Por ejemplo en un lugar lleno de ruido ensordecedor obvio no te lo va a cancelar perfectamente, pero en el transporte público o en un lugar donde hay música de fondo es igual maravilloso, parece que entras en un lugar silencioso completamente, eso sí, al principio te puede resultar un poco molesta la sensación pero te acostumbras. -El control táctil es una de las cosas más útiles qué he tenido en unos audífonos. Puede adelantar, pausar, atrasar, subir o bajar el volumen, pedir al asistente qué ponga una canción o un artista, que pedir qué atrase unos segundos y todo eso sin usar el celular. Igual cuando te hablan es muy útil poner la mano en el audífono y escuchar a la otra persona. -No soy una experta en el sonido, pero comparando con otros qué he tenido de verdad que se nota diferencia en todo, la claridad del sonido y la calidad en general wow. Los pedí por los bajos, me encanta escuchar los bajos cuando escucho reggaetón o r&b, si se podría mejor los agudos y los medios, pero eso siendo exigentes. Cuando la música es más enfocada a los agudos me gusta cambiar el ecualizador y en general se escucha bien. Quería decir también qué estaba encaprichada con los Marshall inalámbricos por que están de verdad muy bonitos, pero al final me decidí por estos y ahora después de probarlos varios días en diferentes espacios, sé que fue una buena decisión porque los audífonos son muy útiles para mi vida diaria.
