These headphones offer good sound, good bass, and simple button controls. For 80 bucks they are pretty good. The only downsides to these headphones are that the headphones are on-ear style which means that there was some sound leaking. Other than that they were great.

At the time of this review, I've only had it for a day. For it's price, they sound great. The only thing I don't like about these is that they aren't designed for ears, which is weird for headphones. Not only does it not fit an ear, it has a tight grip. The grip is tight enough that even with foam on the ears, my ears will begin to hurt just after 20 minutes of usage. The pain only gets worse the longer I wear it. With the actual design, it doesn't comfortably fit my ears. It's just a circle of foam, with a smaller circle for the speaker. The foam rests on the cartilage on my ears, not my actual head, which with the tightness of the grip, makes it even more painful to wear. That's the only thing I don't like about this product.

I got these because they were a brand that I trust and because they are wireless. They were allegedly noise cancelling as well, but I have not found that to be the case. That is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars. They have good sound quality and the bass boost is good.

these headphones are great. They have really nice sounds and base. I like how you can listen wireless and it was easy to setup. I like how it speaks to you saying that it's turned on and off. I really like the color. I am very happy with my purchase.

This device slightly disappointed me. I was expecting them to give me the essence that some other on ear headphones I've owned did with loud sound, deep bass, and comfort. These headphones did not get loud enough for my taste and this is just my opinion. I gave them a try and from what I am used to from Sony this didn't quite do it for me. Volume was just too low and that is after trying adjustments with apps and all. Nice design and nice fit but lacking in performance. I say give them a try for yourself and if you agree you can return them as I did or if you in turn like them then you've made a great investment.

I purchased these specifically for flying and they did the job. Lasted through my initial flight and the connecting flight. Watched movies and listened to music. Had to take them off to hear announcements being made and by the pilot.

Needed a new pair of blue tooth headphones because I got tired of using ear pods. The headphones are awesome and a great price. They play for a long time and talking on them there is no echo on either end. Just as good as beats for a fraction of the beats price.

Not an audiophile but it has good enough sound for me. Wireless connection is also good; pairs quickly with my computer and doesn't drop the connection.
Fairly comfortable as well.

These are my second pair of wireless headphones that I use exclusively for watching my big screen TV. I like these very much. Good sound and it helps this old guy in hearing voices better than my other ear phones. Only two points and they aren't big concerns. My other ear phones have a little green light on the left earphone, when it is turned on. This does 2 things: I know it is on and, in the dark, I know left from right earphone. Only other small issue, which probably plagues all such designs: when laying down to watch TV, they aren't really that comfortable on the side toward the pillow. I'd buy them again.

They're typically comfortable/ uncomfortable on the ear headphones. Maybe more comfortable than others bc the padding is soft and the head band is so flexible.
The app is nice to adjust the sound. Well worth the $80 I paid.

Sony headphones
Whats in the box
————————
1. Sony - WH-XB700 headphones
2. Headphone wires
3. USB Type-C cable
Pros
——
1. Bass Heavy Headphones
2. 30 Hour battery life
3. Type C charge and a super fast 10 minus charging giving 90 minutes of run time
4. Sturdy build quality
5. NFC connectivity
Cons
——
1. No noise cancellation on headphones
2. This is on-ear vs over ear headphones, now that is not necessary a con but passive noise cancellation works better on over ear
3. Not that bright on the highs. I guess thats because of the bass heavy feature

BUILD QUALITY & DESIGN
The design is similar to the 1000XM3 and its plastic but I think the plastic is durable. I have large head and I think the band can stretch well and it does not wear me out when I wear it for a long time. The battery life is 30 hours, I also have the 950BT which is an over ear headphones and the sound is comparable on these ones as compared to the on-ear.
You can download the Sony connect app The app allows you to customize the sounds, like the bass levels or the sound stage.
ALEXA & GOOGLE ASSISTANT
The headphones has Alexa and google assistant built in. However you need to download the Sony connect app to be able to use this feature. This feature is handy when using the microphone for calling.
WIRED
The supplied wire can be connected to the headphones when you run out of battery. This is a great feature to have when you are o flight and need to connect their infotainment system to your headphones.
SOUND
The sound quality is very good. The sound stage is excellent. It uses bluetooth 4.2 version and supports AD2DP. The bass is substantial and it does not sound too boomy. The highs however is not as bright as my plantronics noise cancelling headphones.
For 129$ , I think its a great set of headphones and Sony quality you can trust.

I bought the set for my daughter and was looking for one better than the kiddie ones but did not want to spend more than $100. These set fit the bill and was a great buy as they have great sound include deep base. I would recommend them.

I bough a pair for my mother. She liked them so much we bough a pair for my father. They sound pretty spectacular. Better than my old Bose I had. The blue tooth is great and comes with adapter to go wired if you want.

I have the 700 series and really like them other than the fact when I compare them to my 1000 series it doesn’t really stack up. Other than that you can’t beat them for the price.

Decent headphones, not extremely comfortable on my larger ears. For the pricepoint, it's worth it, but I would invest a bit more on the higher end ones if possible.

Really good for casual listening. I use it to listen to music while I do stuff in the house or walk. Sound quality was better than I expected! Really light and comfy on the ears, I used for hours and still feels good.

Bought this as a gift for my son, as he prefers using headphones instead of earbuds. The sound quality is excellent, and the battery life is impressive. Find that these headphones are an absolute great value for the price.
