Awesome headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really well built noise cancelling headphones with superb bass. Audio quality is fantastic. Just the right amount of noise cancelling to mute outside noise during my daily commute and is comfortable enough to wear for an extended amount of time. For being bluetooth the audio sounds amazing. The battery can easily last a week if used for 2 hours a day. The phone app is ok, it gives access to the bass and noise cancelling setting and also some audio presets. The audio presets don't sound good - not worth using. The only negative is because of the nature of the ear cups is that it makes my ears sweat. The ear cups are rubber or some kind of plastic material that is not breathable and traps heat. So glad I got these.

Great sound, decent price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spent some time comparing these headphones to the Beats Studio2 Wireless. After about an hour of research I found that many people preferred these over the Beats. I purchased the Sony headphones and I can say that I do not regret selecting these, as they have great sound quality and the app provided allows more control than other headphones. The physical buttons on the headphones also give you more control of your media while you listen. The only thing that I was not so keen on was their size. They're a little on the bigger side, but it's tolerable in my personal opinion

Better Than Beats Studio 2 (pls read)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.on the 3rd week owning these headphones i have finally able to make conclussion about these headphones. at first at the store when i tried them i wasnt very impressed at all not to mention that i thought the build quality was just meeh.. but after buying severall other headphones including beats studio 2 and tried them all ( That will be on my another reviews) i thought hey since the price was so good because the were on sale for more than 50percent off so why dont i just get them, if later ive found that i didnt like them i could just return them anyways. so now on the 3rd weeks owning these headphones i can tell you iam pretty happy about the sound quality! yes, every headphones has burn in period if you dont know what it is, google it. so every night i listen to some music using them for 30 minutes, but after that id just keep the music playing for hours and hours even without me listening trhough them and this is for almost 3 weeks everyday! and now the sound turned out to be much better than when the first time i took them out of the box and tried them. alot of bass and sometimes it just overwhelming in a good ways but id always have to turn off the extra bass feature and tone down the bass even more on the sony app just because im not really into full blown bass music!LOL the high is kind of weak but not bad at all, the mid is good and the low is well.. bassy!LOL What Dissapoint me more than anything else about these is the noise canceling performance which is subpar! even bose quiet comfort 25 has better accoustic noise cancelling performance! and these ones has supposedly active noise cancelling which supposed to be better! i have compared these side by side with my beats studio 2 which has almost the same burn in time period and i can tell you.. man, with these headphones on the market there is no way id pay 379 bucks for beats studio 2! they were on sale that why i got them too! the overall sound quality is really good, and i always end up picking these ones over my beats just because.. well because they sounded better! overall beside of the finish and maybe kind of cheap looking build quality, iam very happy with these headphones and the price that ive paid for these cant be beat! ohh before i forgot, it takes almost 7 hours to fully charge these headphones!

Incredible quality headohones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these almost daily between work and home. A lot of people have asked me about them since they are a little bit eye catching, and I'm usually wearing them during the day. I tell them three things. 1, they are arguably the best purchase I've ever made in my life. 2, the battery lasts ridiculously long, even with consistent regular usage. And 3, now that I have them, I will never go back to non noise cancelling headphones. Additionally, the sound quality is fantastic, and the bass boost feature is similar to noise-canceling in the sense that I would never go back to a set of headphones without it. It's very nice that both features, noise cancelling and bass boost, can be turned off if needed. And, I very much enjoy what I first thought were bizarre track and volume controls. After a few weeks, I became second nature, and bizarrely enough it's a very satisfying way to skip tracks. And the fit of these headphones is solid, they even fit the puppy

Best Wireless headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got an iphone 7, and you know the drill, you can't charge and listen music at the same time with wired headphones. So I did my research and found good ones about this Sony headphones, but let me tell you that it is way much better than I was expecting. Actually the sales representative told me the same, and he was right!

They are very comfortable, however ears do get little warm. Nice controls I got used to them in a day. I really like that they can fold two way, flat and collapse inside headband.

Q: QuestionCan someone tell me what the main difference is between these and the sony mdr100x? Ive been trying to do research but nowhere has a comparison of the two.
Asked by sulley.
- A:Answer I think you mean the mdr1000xs. There are a lot of differences: 1. Price 2. Features: MDR1000x is lighter and has a good depth of noise cancellation. The controls are touch based on the headphone. The MDRXB950 has button based ones. 3. Bass: XB950 has an authentic deep bass. The MDRx1000 is more or less like an average headphone that emphasizes tunes of every frequency. Kind of like a flat based EQ on it.

Asked by ChelseaFan.
- A:Answer NC is automatically on (you have to turn them off) and yes, works w/o playing music

Q: QuestionHow is the sound profile compared to the XB950BT?
Asked by SHill.
- A:Answer They're side by side in my best buy store, so might be best to sample yourself. That said, the bass is MUCH louder with the N1, all the way up to who knew folks liked this much base. The N1 is nice and crisp through the response and sounds much better for it. The mid range sounded completely flat to me on the BT whereas the N1 is more balanced. My $50 Sony extra bass ear buds sound much better than the $150 BT headset, whereas my ear buds are left behind with the N1. For the current price difference today you'd but nuts to by the BT.
