SONY MDR-XB950N1 headphones

The SONY MDR-XB950N1 headphones are fantastic - when watching movies via an iPhone/iPad they offer a very greatly enhanced viewing experience & are exceptional when listening to music while on public transport, as they prevent noise from upsetting fellow passengers & noise cancelling, although not brilliant, definitely helps eliminate the worst of background noise. I've yet to use SONY MDR-XB950N1 headphones on a plane, but if trains are representative, I'd expect they significantly improve on alternative in-ear headphones.

Ds4 Dualshock controller

I'm very mad. I was looking to file a claim on my product but i can't because you guys don't have the model number for my controller in your model number settings. Ive been at this for hours. Can't talk to anyone so i had to just select the wrong item to continue. I need my ps4 Dualshock controller replaced it is not working correctly. ! Y'all site is horrible. Its to difficult to get around without getting the run around. Now i hope you guys look at my receipt and figure it out. Because y'all site made me do this. I want another controller asap please. Just look at my receipt and you try to find the model number because i can't!

Incredible Sound quality, Amazing BASS

I bought this Headphones a year ago, and this also my first time purchasing headphones with this price range, and i'm very happy with the audio quality and i regret nothing. I hope my headphones last for the next couple years. The design is very good, really comfortable to wear but the bulky design sometimes make it hard to carry around / street wearing The sound quality is beyond of what was i expecting, as a BASS lover, i really love the sound quality, even though the bass is pretty loud, the overall sound still really good The features is fine. its not the best, the noise canceling isn't that good, but at least its there and better than the previous Sony XB950B1

Superb Bass from bluetooth headphone

I have 3 bluetooth headphones, but all of their bass was terrible, until I got this. Super deep bass from a wireless headphone. Best purchase ever!

Sound great, noise-cancel so-so, poor quality

Like others, I have found the sound on these to be great. However, the noise-cancelling is not great. The biggest issue to me though is that the ear cushions came off after just a little over a year of having them.

Decent product overall

I got these for Christmas as a gift, and honestly, it was great. After a while I did notice they were a bit fragile so I kept good care of them (although they did break eventually). The sound is great, and it's nicely comfortable. The controls are easy and the bass mode is great.

Best Headphones ever!!

Really happy with my purchase, I bought this Sony headphones and a JBL headphones, both were around same price, but there is no match for my SONY headphones, the Extra bass provided by is excellent for Music, Movies and all the places you can connect your headphones, the buttons are really easy to use and have all the functions you need, the app is really good too. Really impress with the quality, for now on Sony is the brand I want for headphones!

Works best as wired heaphones

The headphones initially worked great, but as time wore on, the bluetooth functionality became inconsistent before it stopped working altogether. Now, the headphones are only useful with a wired connection to a device. If only used as a wired connection, however, the noise cancellation feature is inaccessible. The cups have a lot of cushioning, but leads to painful long term use.

not comfortable

Great costumer support. But one side of my headphones stopped working just after a year and it was out of warranty so am stuck with it.

Nice sound, noise cancellation feature so so

Sound is pretty good, but noise cancellation not that great. Biggest complaint though is that it is not comfortable to wear around the neck when not listening. It is very tight and does not give you any room making it very uncomfortable to wear as it keepspressing around your neck.

Excellent, always reliable

These are my favorite. I've had them for over a year and use them almost daily. The Bluetooth connection is very strong and the battery life lasts hours and hours. Noise cancelling is digital so for me I mainly just use it to block out low frequencies when flying. The sound is excellent in my opinion.

Amazing sounds quality, terrible hardware

Bought a pair of xb950n1’s not long ago, am blown away by the bass effects when linked with app especially and for how well of a stereo sound they have. Personally, perfectly flat and the best sound I could ever ask for and have heard. The hardware though!! Am writing this review not because mine have broken on the hanger piece yet, but because many other people have experienced this problem along with other hardware issues. For that I will be taping the section that swivels to prevent breakage, but for the price Sony should be stepping up the quality. If not for the price, raise it! But don’t sell junk. Everyone hates junk. It doesn’t make people buy more of your product most times, but only deters people from your products. Please step up the hardware quality Sony and keep putting these amazing cannons ouuuut!!!

Great Bass

I got these for my birthday, a little over a year ago now. I always give any product some time to impress before I review them, and so I did. Unfortunatly the left earcup is chipped on the inside, however it cannot be notised whilst wearing the headphones - tho it buggers me that its there. Besides this there are no complains other than bluetooth issues. But this is on bluetooth and not the headphones itself. I'm quite geeky and managed to solve it myself, had to disable the handsfree function on windows because it locked the bitrate to a much lower one than what promised and also interfered with the sound output of other software. Easy fix. Besides all of that the headphones do exactly what they promise and might have the best bass of any pair of headphones out there (at least the most bass) and I'd say that the price is worth it. I'll just add that the Sony app is absolutetly garbage, but it's not needed, ever.

Perfect for college

I got these as a gift over a year ago to use in the library since any noise distracted my studying. The sound is crystal clear and is better than any headphone I have every used. I'm not sure if it's a fluke, but I haven't charged them in roughly 3-4 months and I use them every day, so the battery life is amazing. I use them studying, walking to class, and the gym. I can't hear a thing when I have them on and the music is playing. The only downside is that they are slightly big, but it is so worth it for the sound quality and the battery life. They have treated me well for so long- I highly recommend!

Great sound quality and battery life

I bought these about 5 months ago and I've been impressed with them every day since. The noise cancelling is impressive, as is sound quality and battery life. I tend to use them when calling as opposed to my handset as my friends tell me the microphone quality is better than the microphone on my phone. I would say I charge them every week and a half or so, sometimes more. I'd reccomend these headphones readily. The only thing that might put you off is that they are quite large. I like that but some may not.

great sound. awful quality

these headphones have the best sound quality i have ever heard yet they seem to fall apart after about 6 months of use. They were not mistreated in any way yet they just fell apart over a month or two. if the joints were made of metal it would fix the issue. overall good sound and usability, yet very poor quality.

It shouldn't all be about the bass

The emphasis on bass is ridiculous with this model, especially when the app is added to the mix, and I don't mean that in a positive way. Sound quality is clear enough, but I had to seriously mess with my devices' eq settings to make most of my music listenable on these - subtle acoustic guitars are not welcome here, it seems. I'm not a fan of the extremely chunky look of these either - they'd be just about acceptable on a train journey but there's no way I'd ever be seen wearing them on a walk. Frankly they look ridiculous.

Best Headphones I've Used Yet

I received these headphones as a birthday gift last winter and have been using these headphones since then. I can safely say these headphones have held up after all this time and sound amazing. I prefer having a higher bass responce in my sound and these guys do not disapoint in bass. What's nice is that even though the bass is higher, the other frequencies are not drowned out by the bass (The Sony Headphone's app allows you to adjust the bass to your liking also) The cusions on these headphones are super comfortable. I've worn these for hours at a time and they feel comfortable the whole time The noise cancelling is good. Not Bose QC35 levels, but good enough to block out most ambiet noise

Very poor build quality!

I bought a set of these headphones 2 years ago on black Friday. 13 months in and 1 of the earpieces stopped playing sound completely. Eventually, Sony agreed to send a replacement repair after back and forth communication for a few weeks being told different things. 9 months into the new pair and the plastic piece completely eroded. It wasn't even a snap, it basically crumbled making them completely unusable.

Sounds Amazing

These headphones are literally amazing. The charge lasts a full day. They sound phenomenal and have all the controls you could need on the headphones themselves.

Worth the Price

By Big_Mike

the sound quality is as good as it gets, the bass boosting feature is awesome when you really wanna feel that bass power, noise cancelling is amazing and a must have if you're trying to immerse yourself in games or movies, and the design is simple and aesthetically pleasing, and the padding is super comfortable on the head. I also love using these when I workout because they connect to my phone with Bluetooth and the fact that they are wireless means no stupid hassle with cords like most head...
