Review on Sony XB950B1 Extra Bass Wireless Headphones: Enhanced Sound and App Control in Sleek Black Design by Siu Yun ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor product, below average quality.

The sound is very, very good. I'm used to bass myself, that's why I took these ears) I mostly listen with Bass Boost turned on, but even without bass boost, my ears sound clear and without complaints, there were no breaks. The ears are focused on high mid frequencies, what I need. With prolonged listening with bass and a volume above average, your ears start to hurt) So be careful, but this is an individual matter. In general, the ears are on a solid 5 ku, I do not regret the money spent, I am satisfied with the purchase and wildly advise everyone and plus! Thank you for reading this review to the end and good luck with your purchase)

Pros
  • So, finally got around to write a review about these headphones. Before the MDR-XB950BT, I had no experience with wireless headsets before, I used the Sony MDR-XB30EX for about 3 years and in general they suited me, until I was completely tired of the wires and the lack of deep sound, I decided it was time to take something more serious and from a different price segment. I initially tried to find something among wired headphones, but I realized that everything was not right, and I didn’t see the difference, so my choice was between the MDR-XB950BT and Sony MDR-ZX770BN wireless headsets. After I put the MDR-XB950BT on my head, I realized that I would most likely take them, and when I turned on the Bass Booster, all doubts about the choice immediately disappeared) At the time of purchase, they cost 14,990, which was very expensive, a week later the price dropped to 11,990, but found these ears for 9700 wooden ones in a verified place. So about the pros: - Very comfortable, soft, comfortable for the ears, and in general - personally, I don’t feel the weight of the headphones on my head, although I’m used to walking more in earplugs. - Reliable. The materials of manufacture are pleasing to the eye: the plastic is matte and slightly rough to the touch, that is, they do not slip in the hands. The rim is metal, which immediately makes it durable, the ear cups are made of soft leatherette, they sit tight and do not fall off. - Design. They look sooo stylish and restrained, the ears themselves are black, a red stripe passes through the cups, it looks great. Well, Sony's branded inscription on the sides of the cups in metal letters - cool) - Functionality. For 5 - 10 minutes I got used to the location of all the buttons, everything is very competently located: under the left ear, the power button, the bass boost button, and the connector for the charging cable, as well as wired ears and a speaker; under the right carriage volume control and slide button rewind, pause and answer a call - everything is in its place. There is an NFC sensor on the right cup, I myself use the phone in conjunction with the Sony Z3 Compact, so including the ears, the NFC sensor on the phone and the one-touch connection is simple)
Cons
  • After 6.5 months (!) of use, with the next removal of the headphones from the head, the left cup completely fell off the base . it remained hanging on a lonely wire. I did not expect such a setup from SONY, because when you buy headphones for 10k. you expect that they will serve you far from 1 year, but here is a clear tech. flaw. One of these days I'll take it to the service.
