the only difference is on the more expensive one it has a little better sound quality and bass and noise cancellation but i think you should get the sony mdr-xb950n1 i have this and it is the best pair of headphones i have ever had i would get that

I think you mean the mdr1000xs. There are a lot of differences: 1. Price 2. Features: MDR1000x is lighter and has a good depth of noise cancellation. The controls are touch based on the headphone. The MDRXB950 has button based ones. 3. Bass: XB950 has an authentic deep bass. The MDRx1000 is more or less like an average headphone that emphasizes tunes of every frequency. Kind of like a flat based EQ on it.

MDR 1000x is a 1000 times better when it comes to noice canceling. I bought these and returned them after 2 days to exchange them for MDR1000X. However MDR 1000x is not as heavy on the base, which I personally like. Sound wise they are great but for NC they suck.

I have both. The difference is sound quality. Neither is bad, just different--and they excel in their respective differences among other comparable models. The MDRs would be considered the most balanced-sounding, no adjustments needed and thus good for all music genres. The XBs are bass-heavy (though adjustable via app), so more ideal for hip-hop/r&b/pop genres. Their feature differences are self-explanatory. I got both for difference purposes. The MDRs for general use, the XBs for active/gym use.

The 950 N1s are classified as noise cancelling, 950bts are not.

This one has much improved audio and bass control and better sound overall it's worth the price you would notice some features and it's also has Noise cancelling

By Rosesmit May 26, 2017.

Hi James, The 950N1 already features the noise cancelling option and gives you more battery life. ~Ralph

By SonyListens March 20, 2017.

the New XB950N1 has both extra bass and noise cancellation with longer battery life up to 22 hours compared to the XB950BT with just 20 hours of battery life

By lucius March 19, 2017.

The sound profile is the same as that of the other one. The only difference lies in the fact that these are fold able and use less space for stashing them.

By AudioPhile01 September 10, 2017.

Better. The bass muddles the highs and mids less than it did on the BT's

By CollegeBoy24 July 30, 2017.

this XB950N1 beats the XB950BT by a long shot with noise canceling and extra bass all put together in one plus you can download the Sony headphones connect app to change the tone of any song you choose such as concert, arena and club. Also the battery life is 22 hours.

Use the provided cable and plug them into a pc or laptop usb connection. The low battery light will go out when charged. There is no fully charged light. Also they do not power on while being charged. They need to be unplugged from the charging source.

Any micro USB will do the trick. plug it into the slot next to the bass effect button, on the left headphone

By Thefamusjamus August 25, 2017.

There is a micro-USB port on the left cup that you can plug either the included or another micro-USB into and then charge it from either your computer or a wall adapter

Hi, Ruby, the maximum range is approximately about 10 meters or 30 feet line of sight. Once the device is already out of range and has been disconnected, you need to pair it again. For more information, kindly check the link below: https://docs.sony.com/release//REF_4687028131.pdf. Regards, _Bob

It brings a detachable aux cable that you can use to connect the tablet to the headphones. Connect one end to the headphones and the other one to the tablet (you still need to turn them on to use noise cancelation and or bass effect)

By Agas May 20, 2017.

This pair of headphones includes a cable in the box that can be used to connect them to any standard 3.5mm headphones jack. They will undoubtedly work with a tablet, Bluetooth-enabled or not, and will work with Aircraft entertainment, permitting they provide you with a matching jack.

Yup. Comes with an aux cord.
