    Great sound....great product.... but the head band breaks easily. Would definitely recommend you get a warranty as I did.. I've replaced them twice.

    I read the online reviews first but then decided to go to the store to really get the experience. I looked like an idiot running back and forth between the Beats by Dre side and the Sony side. But honestly these were the better price for the same sound quality (which is EXCELLENT) I really like the bass boost option on these. And they're incredibly comfortable. I've been wearing them for the last 4 hours and could probably fall asleep in them. LOVE!!!

    I have concerns over the longevity of the head band. Feels flimsy. Ok for now but will have to handle with more care as compared to Beats headset

    Couldn't be happier

    I have been browsing for several weeks undecided on which pair of wireless/bluetooth headphones would be my next. I spotted these at a Sony launch party this year and was very pleased with overall sound and fit. Not to mention these are the best looking over the ear headphones I've seen to date. Either you like the cans or you don't. I'm a huge fan of the simple/matte finish and brushed stainless head strap. They are not noise cancelling but my best guess is they block out 60%-75% of outside noise and once audio is playing at any level you can't hear any outside noise. I am not a big Beat fan but will admit their Studio is a good sounding unit. I am happy to say the MDR-XB950BT is on par if not past the Beats Studio for sound quality. The bass boost feature is an added bonus. By no means do you need it on for normal listening but is fun to click on for those head bobbing, bass bumping favorite songs. I was fully prepared to pay $199 for these but to my pleasant surprise they were on sale for $99. These are a no brainer for sub $200 headphones that have sound and quality matched to $300+ sets. $99 or $199 treat yourself to these great looking and sounding headphones.

    Don't Waste Your Time With Beats or Bose

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I did extensive research on these BT headphones, and they are truly phenomenal. For the past 20 years I have only bought Bose, then Beats products. When Sony started to reemerge in the headphones game, I was definitly skeptical; however, these headphones are 1) VERY easy to connect to your BT devises, 2) Deep rich sound with or without the bass enabler on 3) More comfortable than both Beats Pro and Bose.

      Hello Brandon1985, thank you for your message. The headphones will not sync due to incompatibility. It's not guaranteed due to PlayStation console has its own headphones. However, for any general information in how to pair Bluetooth headphones check the link below: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/51450. -Oscar.

    Sony > Beats

    Posted .

    I was at Best Buy yesterday on the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale. I really wanted new headphones and was picking between the Sonys and the Beats Studios. I really liked the beats studio which were $200, but then I realized that they weren't Bluetooth! And to get the wireless studios you have to spend around $300! So I was picking which ones to buy, then I came across these Sony XB MDR950 (btw Sony please change the naming on your headphones). I was really shocked on how crisp these headphones were! A bit better than the Studios. I'm not even talking about the Bass because that just is amazing, and can't be compared to beats. I just had to get myself a pair. They were $100! That's just incredible, meanwhile their usual price is $200. To be honest I would of bought them for $200. So I was deciding between the Sonys or the Beats. I got to be honest Beats have some amazing noise cancellation system. If the Sonys had active noise cancellation they would of been the best. Anyways that's not a reason to spend $200 more on beats. I bottom line, these headphones are amazing you should get them, you will be amazed!
