Sony MDRXB950N1/B Extra Bass Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones - Black

I like it it's lassie and comfortable to wear. I truly recommend it.

Loved the headphones but the right angle piece of the headband just above the ear cracked on one side after a year. I put Sugru on it to try and get it to hold and now today the other side has cracked. I wore them every workday (5 days a week) for 3 or 4 hours on average a day for a year if that helps you gauge the quality. Seen another review here that they broke in the same position after 4 months so I got lucky by the sound of it

Great pair of headphones, have had these since December 2018, have lasted fantastically well. Sound quality is brilliant, battery life and Bluetooth range also more than enough. The only thing to knock a star off, (pictured) where the part connecting the cup to the headband has snapped. I have superglued this a couple times, but I believe it is not far off breaking completely as all four have cracks. However this is through 2 YEARS of constant use. As soon as it does break I will be sure to buy myself another pair.

Love these so I'm going to buy another set.. I must have gone 4 yrs with these but they finally gave up and cracked on the knuckle thing.. my fault coz I always fell a kip with these bins on.. hope this helps some one.. they have a mint sound and last a long time off a full charge.. range is brilliant as well for the blue tooth.. enjoy..

Si no eres un purista del Audio que busca un sonido balanceado y super definido, pero te encanta géneros como el Dubstep, Pop, R&B esto son tus audífonos. Aun así no deja de tener un sonido de gran calidad, incluso puedes usar un ecualizador físico, o virtual en tu Smartphone para elevar frecuencias medias y altas si quieres escuchar otro tipo de música. Ventajas: - Gran Calidad de Construcción - Calidad en el Cable Antienredos - Bolsa para transportarlos - Portabilidad - Graves Potentes - Control del Bass Effect por medio de la aplicación. - Comodos - Batería de hasta más de 22 horas - Controles Fáciles de Localizar. - Puedes usar el Bass Effect y el Noise Cancelling si los usas cableados, a diferencia de su modelo anterior los XB950BT Desventajas: - La Cancelación de Ruido no funciona tan bien como en otros modelos, como los Sony MDR-1000X o los BOSE QC35, sin embargo cumple para no escuchar casi nada de ruidos de autobús, o el metro. - Cuando están encendidos y no tienes reproduciendo ningún Audio, se escucha un zumbido un poco molesto. - Sin una Ecualización, puede que no suene tan bien para otros géneros como Rock, Metal por lo que he podido probar. - Si tienes orejas algo grandes, puede que no sean tan cómodos, ya que se apoyaran en una parte de tu oreja y serán mas Supraaurales, en mi caso como tengo orejas pequeñas, funcionan como Circumaurales, ya que no tocan ninguna parte de mi oreja,

This is a great product at a great price! I have tested 2 other wireless headsets in this process (MPow 059 and Marshall Monitor), and the Sony is way above them both in quality of sound and usability. My observations: 1) The sound quality is excellent through the full range from the lowest bass to the highest treble. And the sound Quantity (Max Volume) is great. If you enjoy loud music and like strong bass response, this is an excellent set. And the ability to adjust the bass via an app on a smartphone is very useful. I tried different levels of settings on the "Bass Effect" and found the app did boost the bass significantly, without compromising the mid and high-range as some reviewers have claimed. The Bass Effect can be toggled on and off using an easy to locate button on the set. 2) The controls for volume, track changes, and Pause/Answer a phone call are very well designed and easy to use. Many headsets fail this basic test. The Sony passes with flying colors. 3) I really like the fact that I can turn off the Noise Canceling using the phone app. I do not listen in noisy environments and I want to hear the music as it was recorded, since NC does degrade sound quality. I listened with the NC on and off and the sound quality was better with the NC off. There are some areas for improvement for future versions of the product that Sony should take note of. 1) The head band is tighter than it needs to be and that does reduce the comfort level. Several reviewers noted this and I agree. I am trying to get the plastic to "relax" a little by putting the band in a stretch position when I am not using it. 2) The swivel in the band may improve the fit, but it also introduces a weak point where breakage could, and did occur, for some reviewers. 3) I use the NC set to OFF, but the setting goes back to the ON setting when the set is turned off and then back on, so I have to turn it off again each time. This is not a big deal, but the setting should be "remembered" for the specific user. Hopefully this can be corrected/improved in the mobile app so existing users will have the benefit of the change. The set "remembers" the setting for Bass Effect when it is turned off and on. It should do the same for the NC setting. In conclusion, based on my research and experience, the Sony XB950N1 compares very favorably to headsets at much higher prices offered by Bose, Sennheiser, and by Sony itself.

I've owned these headsets for 1 3/4 years now and in that time they still sound fantastic, and have not given me any problems. First my overall experience. I use these headphones pretty much every day, and in these 2ish years I can honestly say they have been one of the best purchases I have ever made. They have survived through trips in thick forest, incidences with sand and the beach, and general destuction (I just chuck them in my backpack and I'm super forgetful!). The only indications of wear is that the top band which is black metal material has scratches and you can see the silver underneath. This would probably not have been an issue if you were careful unlike me and stored them in the provided bag. Another feature of these headphones that I ended up enjoying much more than I thought I would is the bass boost. I listen to a lot of rap music and in some songs (think 808s Kanye) the boost is unreal. It's like someone put subwoofers beside my ears. If you're not a fan it's very easy to turn off with the button on the physical headset, which is something I appreciate when I'm studying. The noise cancelling on this pair of headphones is not the best I've ever experienced but is still quite good in every day use. For example, when taking the bus with the noise cancelling on and my music at ~3 (iPhone) it's able to tune out (better word is drown out) the sound of the engine and people talking. Beware! I've often not heard the stop notification. The only conceivable issue I can see people having with the nc is when no music is on and you're in a very quiet environment there is a quiet static like sound. Personally I think it's not bad at all, and is incredibly easy to tune out naturally if you're working on something, but it does exist. You could also play some music, and these headphones sound fantastic so why not? That being said, I think the quiet from the nc does outweigh the static and I routinely find myself pausing the music and just using the nc function when I'm frustrated at a piece of code and need to think. One of my negatives for these headphones is that they are quite bulky. It's not really a problem if you have a backpack but whenever I'm travelling light the best option is usually just to have them hang around my neck which can be frustrating sometimes. Other than that, if you're wearing these heaphones for a large period of time non-stop (~4-5h) I find my ears getting a little sore. Nothing that can't be fixed with a quick ear massage though. Overall I really like these headphones. Give them a listen.

I got them today at work, connected them via NFC in a second & started walking as the music started playing automatically from my Google Pixel 2 phone. I was coming home via New York subway. And.. I came home 20 mins late. Why? Cause I missed my subway station for the first time in my NY life because of these headphones!!! Seriously?! FIT: Million dollar question. Searched a lot about this before ordering it. YES, they are "Circum-aural" (as stated in the packaging). My ears (2.5" by 1.5") seats completely inside the ear pad with little more space. Ear pad cutout is longitudinal. Padding is VERY thick, but soft and squishy (for passive noise cancellation of course). Build quality: Felt very high quality plastic to me. But, I would not drop them. I feel like it will brake, if drop them. Sound quality: Not an audiophile but neither a amateur. I like the way they sound, And I leave the "Extra Bass" on. Bass is punchy, I use extra bass with surround effect in the app, so that it doesn't feel too much. UPDATE after a week: I'm listening with "Extra Bass" off & loving Sony's different surround sound mode in the app (eg. arena, outdoor stage, concert hall etc). It sounds soooo good. Even if you think they are bass heavy, you can set bass level up to -10 (negative 10). Thats gonna cancel out the bass completely. BUT, if you wanna go all the way for the best quality, connect the headphone with the cable + turn it on, you'll get the best out of the headphone. Probably you'll need a decent amplifier to drive these headphone to its peak 47 ohm impedance (with cable connected + turned on)!!! Thats super impressive. Volume is so high & sound is so crisp when its connected via cable + turned on, I couldn't raise my HP laptop (with beats audio) volume past 54! Noise cancelling: AMAZING! Turn the headphone on & wear them, you'be in another world (even without the music)! It is on par with Bose Quitcomfort (which are overhyped & over rated). When music is on (even at 50%) with noise cancellation on, you would not hear 95% of your surroundings. Disclaimer: Noise cancellation doesn't mean COMPLETE noise cancellation, its more like noise isolation. Comfort: Well, because of the padding, ears can get warm after prolonged period of time. Other than that, I would mark them 4.5 out of 5 for comfort. UPDATE after a week: At they felt little tight, but now they feel very comfortable because of the super soft ear pads. Battery life: UPDATED on 12/06/17: I charged it fully only once & I use them on my way to work & to home (5 days a week). So thats about an hour & half of listening with noise cancellation on. And now, I about 70% battery left on them! Thats incredible. CONs: *Packaging is not that good for this price. *No hard carrying case! *Little less comfortable than Bose Quitcomfort. *Sony should step up there game on build quality department. They feel & look like premium PLASTIC from Sony. But at the end of the day, they are plastic, not very durable. Overall, I'm in love with these. They are amazing headphones, I would highly recommend them!!

These headphones are very good, however they just fall short of getting a 5 star from me for several key reasons. The overall sound quality is excellent, especially if you enjoy deep rich bass like i do. Without the noise cancellation on, you can hear ambient noise well (which is good for when i use them at work) but when NC is on, the world fades away. I'm sure there are better NC headphones out there, but these fit the bill nicely. I spend almost 2 hours a day commuting to work on the subway, and its nice to be able to block everything out. The buttons are extremely convenient, i find they are all perfectly located and easy to use. I do find myself accidentally pressing some buttons when i remove the headphones, but that is a minor issue. Connectivity is simply wonderful, i do occasionally get small skips in the music mainly when i'm on my phone doing something that takes up a lot of power, like gaming. the NFC is a nice added touch, as it connects to my phone crazy fast (galaxy S7). Now on to a few issues i have with the product. To preface this, i have owned my headphones for just over a month, and i treat them well. My first issue is that when i walk, i can hear a slight rattle in the right speaker with each step. I have no idea what the issue is, but it sure is annoying. Next is the fact that you can not wear these outside when it is windy, the sound that comes through the headphones is insanely loud when a gust hits the microphone. I assume this is standard with NC headphones, however it is something to note. Finally, the app that this product comes with has a battery level indicator on it, and for some reason it stopped working almost immediately, and forever displays that the headphones are 3/4 full. Luckily to negate this, you can quickly press the power button on the headphones, and it says if it has high, medium or low battery, but it would be nice to have the app work. Overall, the headphones perform incredibly, and I have truly enjoyed my experience with them. I feel like almost all of my issues could be fixed with a new generation of Sony headphones, and this makes me excited for the future.
