Review on Sensational Sony WHXB700 Wireless Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset with Mic, Phone Call Capability, and Alexa Voice Control in Bold Blue by Tommy Russo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as loud as I hoped, returned

Huge Sony fan, has been buying their products for over 30 years. I am currently using the XB950BT and any Sony fan can tell you that this model will eventually fall apart due to the earcup connection so I was looking forward to replacing these XB-700 headphones. Bought when they were on sale for $99. Received them eagerly and synced them to my iPhone. Bass HIT, no question. Nice and tight, not as dirty as a 950, so that's a plus. Downloaded the app. Very good options so far, the "Club" option seems to be my choice. volume turned up. What, wait, he's almost done? This can not be true. I re-read the instructions and spent hours playing with the settings and different music. Still no louder than that? The XB950BT is much louder and I don't even have to turn up the volume with these headphones. I'm not saying these are bad headphones, they just aren't loud enough for me. I really wanted to love these new XB700s, imagine my disappointment when I put them back in their shipping carton and asked for a return label. I have some more tape on my XB950s and hope they last longer, fingers crossed that the upcoming XB900N will be more to my liking. Sony I hope you read this.

Pros
  • Up to 30 hours of battery life for longer listening
Cons
  • High price
