Hmmm...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the quality sound on this ones but there kinda of heavy also at first they where working perfect but then the auxiliary cable would let me talk to or hear my music so I was only using bluetooth and eventually that gave up too...

Good. NOT great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 250 when i bought these, i was expecting to be mind blown for sure, after this is hyped up by everyone. For 250 i feel like the sound on these are good, but not great. For $250 dollars i expect a great listening experience, and it was only above average. The bass boost is dope, but it can most definitely distort when listening at higher volume and song's with heavy bass. Id give the crushers a look as well to see what you would like. Also these suckers are big, you feel awkward wearing them in public. Cushioning on ear pads is pretty good, not great, bose qc35 is better. All in all, this is a good product, but over priced for sure. My jaybirds sound way better.

Love These Headphones!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, am I impressed with these headphones! These are by far the most comfortable and best sounding headphones I have used in quite awhile. They are also wireless which is a big plus. I am not a fan of ear buds (except for when working out). They tend to bug my ears and the sound quality isn't the greatest, so I was excited to give the Sony XB950B1 Wireless Headphones a try. First of all, set up was a breeze. I had them up and running very quickly. And then the sound...wow! I loved the bass and the noise cancelling was a wonderful. We have 2 kids and 2 dogs and I couldn't hear any of them or the obnoxious cartoon playing on the tv while I had the headphones on. It was amazing. They are comfortable and sound great too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wireless headphone that is not an ear bud. They are wonderful.

I own several of these headphones...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite headphones. The cushioned over the ear part might be my favorite part of them. I buy a new pair every Black Friday...not because they wear out, but to add to my collection and give as gifts. They are wonderful!

Sound is fine/ instructions are poor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some issues getting this to work properly. I could not hook up my iPad without bringing the head set and my iPad back to Best Buy. Less than clear instructions. I appreciate the help the folks at Best Buy provided. The sound from the phones is fine, but not outstanding.

Disconnect Problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones deliver a nice sound but the Bluetooth would not stay connected to my new Samsung MU8000 TV so had to return. Purchased Bose Soundlink headphone and have not experienced any connection problems.

Great headphones to Listen to Music, etc.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found these to be great, wireless headphones that completely blocked out unwanted sound while equally giving great sound quality for my music, etc.. I really like that I can adjust the bass and totally jam out while exercising or just working. I also found out that these headphones don't drain too much of my phone's battery life where I have music stored; that is a great feature. The real reason why these headphones are so good at noise canceling is because of the cushioned earpieces that completely surround the ear instead of just resting on the ears. The ear pieces are very comfortable and do not allow my ears to get too hot or become uncomfortable after hours of wearing them on my head. Overall, a good product that delivers great sound and comfort .

Noise Cancelling Headset Upgrades Audio Intimacy
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SONY Headset Nbs: Set up for the SONY Headset is made fast and easy via the Quick Start Graphics, offering a step by step instructions with large graphics and easy to read font size. What a quantum leap in performance! Charge time is 4 hours for up to 200 hours standby time and max 18 hours playback and communications time; so, start charging on receipt. A pouch for the cords provided for charging or for a wired connection would have been a nice addition; but, since we were saved the added expense, look around the house for a small jewelry or change pouch to make tracking your cords a no-brainer. The large padded head cuffs cancel interference from outside ambient noise. So, listening to music and answering calls while doing gentle outdoor activities like walking or doing yardwork will be far more pleasurable with this headset because you will not have to interrupt your process with repeated re-installations of ear plugs that fall out of place. As well, the wireless capability for connection to one’s smartphone eliminates restrictions created by a corded connection. In light of the sound dampening capability, when outdoors be certain to use these phones when personal security is not an issue. You want to be able to recognize any threat to your boundaries when in public spaces. Also, this unit is not protected from exposure to inclement weather; so, protect yourself and the unit accordingly. But, this noise cancelling set can certainly eliminate the suffering for those with snoring partners. Also, when others want to sleep when you don’t, you can quietly access all of your media. Though an attempt to download my free access to music and news via my FM Radio app for a wireless connection failed, I can still use the cord delivered with the unit for making a wired connection. (Some Free apps [or all?] seem to require wired connections.) The corded connection works beautifully when connected to smartphone or laptop if wireless is obstructed for some reason. For accessing the full array of features offered by the unit, GOOGLE PLAY offers a quick download of SONY HEADPHONES CONNECT that gives you the bass toggling features, access to, your Music Library, TUNE IN, the 30 day trial ($9.99 for individuals thereafter) of the SONY (pay-to-play) MUSIC CENTER and a host of other variables. So far, the SKYPE App, VOICE RECORDER, among others were easily selected from my quickly populated list of previously installed apps on my Android Phone as additional complements to the apps delivered with the unit. BTW, the unit is fully compatible with iPhone and Android. Oddly, with multiple attempts, the link promoted to download the SONY HEADPHONES CONNECT app on their glossy insert, sony.net/hpc/, failed delivery. My advice is to go direct to GOOGLE PLAY for an obstacle-free download experience. Otherwise, when you explore the drop down menus, you’ll find the unit’s features are super user friendly. I love SONG PAL and the selection of listening options such as Concert Hall, Outdoor Stage, etc that add rich and diverse tones while listening to music, drama or just talking on the phone or VOIP. The ear muffs are designated Left and Right and offer ease of access for volume, mic, fast fwd, rewind, bass enhancement charging and related plug-ins. Useful would be information on compatibility with other charging cords; but, a call or email to SONY might unearth some useful details. Most electronic warranties state that interchanging charging cords with other equipment voids coverage. I suggest that you read the EULA (END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT) to educate yourself on privacy related issues tied to SONY and their affiliates. Seems access for automatic updates to your electronics affords SONY access to data regarding your location, unit performance, and related information that undermines privacy. But, there is some legalese in the EULA that affords the consumer arbitration rights that can be declined for more consumer friendly rights such as small claims up to $15k; but, think you have to act within a time frame in order to make changes to the contract after purchase. In short order, read, take action or live with the consequences is my admonition since tort reform impacts all aspects of our relationship with manufacturers. Nonetheless, I am major jazzed by the enhanced quality of my listening experience created by this unit. New dimensions emerge when you can tweaked audio intimacy AND eliminate that barking dog, those grinding power tools and the monster snorer. Thanks SONY for the upgrade to my mobile tool kit!

Sony got it right
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was ready to make the jump to wireless headphones but not excited to pay for Beats or Apple EarPods. These over the ear Sony headphones are great. Very easy to get in my zone while at the gym. 5 stars!

Good value relative to cost of wireless headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent sound fidelity. The bass feature works with acceptable clarity. Other models had a muffled bass enhancement. These are clearer. I prefer Bose overall, but they come at a much higher cost. The value is there on these Sony headphones.

Great headphones for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are much cheaper than some of the comparable brands and are just about as good. They ran a little muddy for my taste because of the extra bass, but my son seems to like them for the type of music he listens to.
