Sony MDR-XB950AP Premium Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Black

Product Information

Sony didn’t just hit one out of the park, the ball crossed the highway and landed in a field somewhere that is going to force most other audio companies to hire some workers to go find it, just so they can study it and try to improve on it. While the earpads are quite deep and well-padded, they're also quite small, which leaves ones' ears squeezed in and claustrophobic.

Sony MDR-XB950N1 Extra Bass Headphones review - TechRadar

I no longer have it, but truthfully I don’t think the raw quality was that much inferior to the 950. Sony tends to please two camps with its headphone range – the true audiophile, and the beat-hunting bass fiend.If the headphone sounds fine direct connected to a BT source, then of course your dongle isn’t working (rofl). Wireless bluetooth headphones are coming up in the world but most of the ones I’ve looked at don’t allow this functionality.

The earcups and headband are padded in plush leather which make them extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods. Those who don’t want overbearing bass can turn it down while those who want more can crank it way up. With the bass effect cranked all the way up, we felt bass in a visceral way but was fatigued by the sound after several minutes. Then C took over for them and they were horrid, then D took over and they are so bad that I fear speaking further about them. This headphone is pretty efficient, meaning it doesn’t need much driving power from the music player.

Here on the Sony XB950BT, the comparisons are similar to every other portable I own here with the AKG K267 as the exception, which sounds similar, yet is much more expensive. Solo eh tenido problema al usar el chat de voz, al hacerlo cancela todos los otros sonidos de la PC, incluyendo el juego, y solo puedo escuchar lo que los demas hablan y ellos me oyen a mi. Now, if you want to give him the best possible option, I would suggest you headphones and adapter which have the new Low Latency Aptx codec, which completely eliminate any sync problem between audio and video.

If you want something wireless and very bassy, something portable and small, then the Sony is the way to go. unlike this sony mdr xb950bt you can feel the beats of sound and another thing is there is an extra bass, volume adjustment and skip to another track. If Sony makes a second bass-heavy headphone, we’d like additional features as well as a solution to the issue of bass bleeding into the mids and rolling off the highs. I’ve not heard that 770BN but if it indeed has superior NC, then that is what you should get if that is what you truly need.You’ll want to download Sony’s companion Android and iOS app when you get these headphones as that’s the only way to adjust the bass effect EQ and virtual soundstage options. Can’t help any Apple users I’m afraid, I don’t own any Apple computers and no longer have any apple products of any type. The headphones also lack auto play/pause when taking off the headphones, a feature the cheaper Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 has.
