Review on Sony XB950B1 Extra Bass Wireless Headphones: Enhanced Sound and App Control in Sleek Black Design by Qu Qui Qu (Cu C H in ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, more pros than cons.

A fatal flaw for me: it is impossible to have good sound quality AND a microphone at the same time. As far as I understand, this is a lack of all bluethooth headsets. The listening mode uses the A2DP profile with good sound quality. But if you need a microphone, the headphones switch to the HSP / HFP headset profile with an audio stream of about 64 kb / s. Just talking on the phone will do, but for long conversations / conferences via Skype or viber, this sound quality is very tiring. Wired headset for 200r gives incomparably better quality.

Pros
  • - Sounds good, good range, confidently keep in touch (iphone, laptop) - Comfortable fit, completely cover the ear, soft ear cushions - Looks great (Sony is traditionally strong in this) - Convenient control - Alternative connection 3.5 jack (convenient if sat down) - Long battery life - The design looks solid, there are metal parts
Cons
  • - Closed acoustic design, but no active noise isolation - Useless bass boost function: without it they sound so good, when you turn it on, it feels like in 2.1, leave only the subwoofer :)
