Sony - WH-XB910N Wireless Noise Cancelling Over-The-Ear Headphones - Gray

The Sony WH-XB910N’s (910N’s from now on) are my fourth pair of Sony headphones with my previous, the XB900N being the direct predecessor to the 910N. I have enjoyed the XB900N for quite some time and it is a very good headphone so therefore I wondered how Sony could have improved these headphones and improved they have. Inside the box, we have a lightweight hard carrying case, the headphones, a USB type C cable, a 3.5mm cable along with the usual paperwork. These headphones are designed just like any other Sony headphone and pretty much looks the exact same. Comparing them to the previous iteration though, they are noticeably lighter and feel much more comfortable while wearing. Specifically, both the headband and the earcup cushions are much more comfortable, allowing for many hours of wear with no discomfort. This is coming from someone with a big head, so this is very significant as I am sure my head stretches the headband further than the typical person. The left headphone has the on/off button, the Noise cancelling/ Ambient noise button the USB charging port and the headphone jack. On the other hand, the right headphone is touch-capacitive. I must point out that the touch controls are much more responsive and seemed improved from the previous generation. Swipe up/down to increase/decrease volume, swipe forward/backwards to skip to the next track and previous track respectively etc. I almost must mention that you can quickly enter ambient noise mode by placing your hand over the right earcup, removing your hand instantly returns you to noise-cancelling mode. The speed at which this is achieved has been greatly improved and I don’t notice a significant delay when switching modes this way. When it comes to sound, Sony has never failed me, and with the 910Ns this is another great addition to the lineup of great-sounding Sony headphones. By default with no changes to the settings, these sound fantastic right out of the box but with the Headphone app, you can customize your sound through the equalizer. Music comes through loud and clear and the bass on these are great you can feel every thumb and punch through the headphones and if you need more of a kick you can crank it up through the app. Noise-cancelling works great, I tested this while walking around in a busy and noisy setting (city streets, trains) and it is here the effect was most impressive. It suppresses so much outside noise it is always a shock when I take off the headphone and realise how loud everything around me was and I greatly appreciate this feature. What else is there to say? These headphones are fantastic. There is multi-point pairing that allows you to connect to two devices simultaneously, phone calls sound great from both my perspective and that of the person I am talking to and battery life is great with Sony stating that it lasts 30 hours with Noise-cancelling on and 50 hours with Noise-cancelling off. The XB910N are a great addition to the Sony lineup and I am very impressed with all the improvements that have been made. I’ll definitely suggest these headphones to friends and family as I do to you now.

Pro - wow Sonys XB910N so far an amazing headphone, sony is very consistent with their headphone design, and this are the same the design from their previous version release product, the all black matted look is perfect, it’s clean, the whole design seems it’s well thought out. - the ability to fold each earpiece for better storing compatibility is always a nice thing to have - from inside the box you do receive a case for the headphone with Aux cord for USBC for charging. - so far I have zero issue with comfort when wearing this wireless - I love all the quality of foam from the top of your head through the main headphone as well - on the main headphone speakers there ain’t much button to deal with, you have the power button that also the pairing button for bluetooth. NC/AMB button is the button for your ambient sound control. you be able to switch up to 2 setting by pressing the button - would highly recommend downloading the Sony headphone app after opening this product, so far my impression of the app is great this is where you will need to update to the latest version. - this app is very robust, it’s obvious Sony understand and know what their doing for what customers might need. - I have tried some over price headphone before and the app is bare bones. doesn’t come close to what sony offer in the app itself. - the app have options for multiple things first is the ambient control that you can turn off to save more battery life, but again this wireless headphone could go up to 30 hrs so turning off this setting could reach up all the to the max battery life, either way you should have any issue with battery life coming from this headphone - ambient setting have multiple section to choose from depending on your activity, from staying at home, walking, running or traveling each have their own space to adjust your preferred setting to maximize your listening quality - another feature that cannot be missed is the 360 reality audio setting inside the app, this will give you that 3D audio effect that you might be interested, another great feature to have but more about this later - Xb910N also have the ability to be connected to 2 devices if you have it connected to laptop you can also connect this to your phone so you will never miss any calls. - it support voice assistance features like Amazon, google and you can also use Siri - about the audio quality of Xb910n, again you shouldn’t worry much because it sounded amazing without me adjust my own audio setting, bass, tremble sounded top perfect for me, does sound overpowering. having noise canceling also help alot for audio immersion - this headphones with apple music spatial audio/atmos is pure enjoyment, audio quality makes me just want to relax and take it all in, hearing tiny bit of effects simply gives me the enjoyment I need - headphone control is touch sensitive you’ll have the ability to swipe up and down for volume and left and right for previous/ next music, double tap to pause and play music, and you also can use this feature to pic up phone calls Cons - headphone update took atleast 30 min, i’ve never had a headphone that took that long, it’s a surprise to me since i’m - used to seeing update takes less than 1 min. - 360 audio does support some apps including Tidal, but it doesn’t support major music applications people that are used to, I have apple music and spotify sadly I can’t use it on these applications but i’m doesn’t bother me much since both have amazing audio and apple music latest spatial audio update, with this headphone it sounds amazing - I do wish ring tones goes straight to the headphone, testing calls did not do that, was ringing on my main phone but the tone wasn’t transferring on the headphone itself, also adjust the volume on call cause me to hang up without meaning to do so, there’s definitely a learning curve using this to make sure you are not hanging up each calls

I’ve owned several pair of similar over ear wireless headphones over the years. Most of them fall into one of 2 categories – features forward or quality forward. The Sony WH-XB910N falls into the latter. Sound quality is fantastic for the price point – rich bass, sold mids and clear highs. Some notable features include: great noise canceling in the price range (but with only on or off - no variable levels), 2 devices simultaneously connection (very useful), an accompanying mobile app that allows for solid equalizer controller, but the auto switching noise canceling is annoying- something most people are going to want to disable after being interrupted by the little chime every time you go from moving to stationary. Battery quality is good – Sony claims 30 hours with noise canceling on! Headphones are partially collapsible and fit nicely in the included hard case. The build quality is nice but lack a premium feel that other similar units seem to have. In general, though, I like how light and comfortable they are. Excellent for long wear. Great mid-range over ear headphones. Top notch sound and solid build quality – comfortable and solid noise canceling. Excellent buy!

This device can connect to two devices at the same time making my life bit easier when switching calls between work computer and mobile phone. Average quality noice cancelling feature. I don't think it worth original price ($250) it's worth the money when 50% off :)

awesome ! i am impressed ! i use this primarily for my Sony 4k UHA smart TV and it works awesome

To connect your phone with Bluetooth you should turned off the other devices closer to you headset

I have now 3 sets of Sony Headphones these and the XB950N1 and WH-100XM4. With each pair they get better and better the sound is just awesome and the BASS is loud. These will get you going i own 4 other brands and keep going back to the Sony. They keep coming up with a better pair each time. These are light weight, thinner and just a little more comfortable around the head and ears. I didn't find my ears getting to hot like with other headphones. The noise canceling on these work great you cant hear. I do some detailing on the side and i have to say it nice to hear the music over my polisher. The touching of the right ear side is great to volume up and down, To skip or pause and play. Just to answer a phone call. I know that other headphones over the ear and earbuds have this it nice Sony has it to. I like the clean look of these and not a lot of buttons to mess with i do find myself always taking my other off to make sure i hit the correct button. Style NICE Sound AWESOME Battery Life 30hrs "WOW" Comfort GREAT Bass LOUD and GREAT Noise Cancelling COULD'T GET ANY BETTER After all that i have to say a very great product at a great price. You will enjoy them. GREAT JOB SONY

These headphones are awesome excellent bass sounds like 2 mini subwoofers in your ear and the headphone app is nice lets u adjust the sound to your liking and the noise cancelation is great totally happy with these headphones.
