Sony - XB650BT Over-the-Ear Wireless Headphones - Black

I received these headphones as a birthday present back in July of this year. The headphones are great, and I've always trusted Sony with my money when it comes to buying anything audio-related. All of my CD players, headphones, even a minidisc player back in the day were all Sony because I love the brand. These were my first pair of Bluetooth headphones, and I love(d) them. The extra bass sounds great. Aside from a few bluetooth connections issues I had no problems with the headphones. That is, until tonight. I noticed that on the right side of the headphones, there is a significant crack in the plastic. I had read a review of another model of Sony bluetooth headphones similar to these (I think they were the 950BT headphones) where the customer complained about the cheap plastic in the same spot breaking on their headphones. I dismissed it thinking that it must be a fluke or that this person must have manhandled their headphones. Not anymore. My headphones are used daily...while I'm sitting at my computer listening to music or watching YouTube videos so that I don't disturb anyone else with the volume from my computer speakers. Nowhere else are they used. They have never left this house since getting them back in July, and they aren't abused or thrown around. I like to take care of my electronics. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. Since these were a gift, I do not have the receipt, and an extended warranty was not purchased. I believe that the headphones are only covered by a 30 day warranty, which is obviously up since it's now November. As an added punch to the gut, these headphones were $130 when purchased for me at Best Buy back in July, and they're now sitting here listed at $80. Only giving this two stars instead of one because other than the fact that they only lasted 4 months, they are great.

I LOVE the sound that comes out of these babies. The bass is the perfect amount yet still able to hear everything you need without spending a fortune. However, yesterday while picking them up from the desk the right side (near the connection) broke and the right earpiece is hanging. I have no idea why as I've had them only two years. I guess that I should have bought the extra warranty but I didn't expect them to practically snap in two.

Great sound quality and very comfortable. I will continue to shop for Sony over other brands.

I purchased 4 of these for my family. All of them broke around the same location by the speaker. We contacted Sony for a replacement. They refused. Their sound quality is amazing. This was a lot of money to lose. We are very disappointed Sony would not replace them.

I tried the dr dres and the sonys are far superior

I've had these headphones for 5 months and just today while I was taking them off the swivel part just cracked, no pressure exerted whatsoever. I just checked some reviews on another webpage and it seems like an extremely common issue with this headphones, also this is not covered by Sony's warranty, it is ridiculous that they do not respond to an obvious quality issue. If I had read those reviews I wouldn't had bought this expensive headphones for only 5 months worth of use.

I just bought these headphones today as an early birthday present, in blue, and i have to say, bass is incredible, sound is incredible, comfort is great, build quality is great, color is great, and connectivity was easier than anything! i think they are worth $100
