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

Product Information

Sony's MDR-XB950N1 headphones deliver a sound signature that's less crisp and bright than many we test, but avoid sounding muddy when the bass is tamped down. When the effect is engaged, all bets are off. The noise cancellation is quite good for this price range, especially given that the headphones are also wireless. So, bass lovers looking for noise cancelling wireless headphones, look no further. You can use the app that lets you customize the bass only on Android and iOS devices, but not on PCs with Windows or OS X Sony made the bass effect EQ super simple to use with its slider that goes from -10 to +10. Those who don’t want overbearing bass can turn it down while those who want more can crank it way up. There are also options for virtual soundstage to make music sound like it’s being played in a concert hall or stadium arena but none of them sound particularly good. The noise canceling function cannot be used while charging or if kept connected to the computer after charging is complete. The above procedure is an example. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your computer.

We like their design, the fact that they are comfortable to use for extended periods, their noise-canceling feature, and how they sound when listening to electronic or trip-hop music. However, we feel that the bass is overemphasized and the mids and highs could be better calibrated. What is your opinion about the Sony MDR-XB950N1 wireless noise-canceling headphones?
