Experience wireless freedom with Sony Bluetooth Headphones MDRXB950BT/B. These sleek, comfortable headphones deliver incredible sound quality. The headphones with extra bass provide Bluetooth audio streaming with AAC and APT-X support. Electronic bass boost circuitry kicks bass into overdrive, rounding out each note with powerful sound.
The over the head Bluetooth headphones are equipped with 40mm drivers. A built-in microphone makes it easy to use them for hands-free phone calls. They can be used wirelessly; passive mode allows for normal, corded operation without relying on the battery. The battery provides up to 20 hours of use before needing recharging.
The headphones have a swivel design for effortless portability.
The Sony MDR-XB950B1 are decent mixed usage headphones geared towards fans of bass. They're wireless and have a sturdy, premium-looking design that's decently comfortable. Their audio reproduction can be overly bass-heavy out-of-the-box but thanks to the Headphones Connect app you can EQ them for more critical listeners. Unfortunately, even with a good EQ, their sound won't be for everyone and the oddly sized ear cups, do not create the best seal around your ears which lets ambient noise seep into your music.
KEY FEATURES
- Mediocre-at-best for neutral listening. They're too bass heavy, even without the Bass Effect turned on.
- That and the dull treble range make them sound dark and lacking in detail with instruments and vocals.
- They also have a relatively small soundstage due to their closed-back design.
- They won't be the best headphones for most neutral listeners but on the upside, the Bass Effect can be further reduced via the Headphones Connect app so you may find some redeeming qualities in their sound profile
