Neil Ahuja how else can someone without their own opinion find out if their headphones are good. Just by wearing them and, like, listening to them and stuff? Cmon. That's hard. Now I'm off to watch a review on the burger I just ate. I want to know if it tastes good or not. I'd hate to buy another one if someone else says it's not good.
These put Beats to shame. Just, don't even consider any other headphones compared to these. I got the wired version for $93 and I feel like every single penny is worth it! If you want base, even the wired ones bring a living crap tone of it. And the rest of the audio is on point, nothing sounds scratchy or annoying. Very easy to listen to and to get into the beat! 5/5 on a review, would definitely recommend it!
Original comment (Sometime in 2016 IDK): Watching this vid with these headphones. Edit (10/06/2020): For anyone inquiring me about these headphones. If you want a whole lot of bass that sacrifices the overall clarity of the sound signature, go with the XB950BT's. If you want a very well rounded pair of headphones, get the Sony WH-XB900N's, the highs are great, the mids are nice and warm, and the bass is smooth. Overall, for a hundred bucks, the XB950BT's are a solid pair of headphones. I'd seriously save up 150 more dollars and get the WH-XB900N's because they're just so much more better than this headset. And yes, both headsets great pretty dang loud. Also, I'm still very into audio. I've gotten more into the car audio side of audiophile setups, just installed some Pioneer TS-Z65CH Speakers in my car along with 2 Poweracoustik BAMF 12's. The whole system is running off of 2 Rockville RXM-T2 amps, so it's pushing about 1200 watts to the subs and about 600 for all 4 sets of component speakers I have in the car. It sucks that car audio isn't always an option for people, so the closest thing you can get to being totally submerged in your music is headphones. I seriously recommend the WH-XB900N's for anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive pair of damn near audiophile headphones.
If you're curious how these work while working out, I'm here to tell you these are amazing. The controls on the earcups are super handy, you'll be able to fast forward songs just by sliding and holding the switch, the sound quality is top notch and very loud, and they block out all exterior noise. They're also very sweat and water resistant and very durable, you don't need case for these. I usually just throw them in my gym bag. The battery is amazing, it feels like it lasts forever lol and it charges very quickly. My only complaints are that sony didn't throw in a carrying case (but from my experiences you don't really need one), the earcups do get a little hot when doing heavy hypertrophy-like movements, they sometimes will slide off the back of your head when you're on a flat or incline bench, and they look kind of funny on your head lol. Other then that though, these are the best headphones for bass lovers who enjoy working out to rap, hip-hop, EDM, or any other heavy bass music genera. 9.5-10
5 years after watching this video and purchasing I still rock my 950bt's at this very moment. Still sound great and no issues other than wear on the earcup leather. Can buy replacements for 15 on ebay though. I've loved these for years.
This thing is a beast..! Got it today (25/10/2016)it's an absolute rocker..! For 130$ in an local Sony center..! Now coming on to that badass BASS BOOST button, oh my freakin God..!! It's a bass heads dream..!! Go for it guys.!
I know this is an old review but I LOVED these headphones. I got them for $90 at Best Buy a few years ago. Sad to say that a couple years later (maybe less), they snapped and came apart. The folding mechanism was just not very sturdy. I would love to find what the best successors to these headphones are in a similar price range! I miss these things dearly.
I feel Yamaha E700 are similar. Been checking them out online and they have this same bulky design, wireless, anc even. Yamahas have extra bass too, rattling type, while retaining other sound qualities. Subwoofer bass basically, like these old Sony ones. Soundscape is wide too in Yamahas, similar to Sonys.
jonathan rios I bought them off Amazon for $148 I've only used them for about 15 minutes before I had to go to work, I connected them to my Nexus 6 they are definitely for bass lovers
Camryn White I also bought these headphones. Great sound quality, good wireless range. But it doesn't properly fit on my left ear, although completely comfortable on right ear (don't even know it's there). Any idea why is it so? Also I recently converted from in ear headphones.
Chriselchingon23 The audio quality is awful. The bass is really strong but its not defined. I normally love bass heavy audio products but not these. The bass is so heavy its like trying to listen to audio on a mobile phone with a pneumatic drill attached to your face.
I came back to this video as this channel has introduced me to Sony's XB lineup. I remember falling in love with these headphones so much at first sight. And to this day they probably were the most favorite headphones I have ever owned ...for about 3 months when one of the folding hinges broke apart. I was super sad because to this day those were the most expensive headphones I or someone else bought for me. To this day I owned 4 Xtra Bass Products, the XB950BTs (RIP), the XB-20 Bluetooth Speakers (which after 5 years I still use to this day) the XB-900N (which also broke after a year) and now I have an order ready for pickup on the XB-910Ns
jessim lakehal I bought some on black friday, returned them today. The sound quality is poor. I love bass headphones, I always buy bass but these are more like being hit in the face than a refined audio solution. Also they are so ugly, they stick out really far on your head. Oh and the built in mic is shit and if you wear them whilst wearing a coat with a collar then the collar hits the rwd fwd play rocker, its really annoying. But my CX3.0 in ear headphones from Sennheiser have better sound quality in every conceivable way, are louder and 1/3rd the price. So I couldnt justify keeping them.
Plz plz tell me which are better crushers or these i just ordered the skullcandy crushers off of amazon and they don't get here til 5 days and im regretting it if i made a bad decision because i absolutely love bassy headphones.
I'd say get these over the crushers, the bang for your buck is outstanding with these headphones, you get great sound quality, Bluetooth, an optional plug in aux cord, and extremely comfortable (I know I have a pair) the crushers lack in sound quality and aren't that comfortable. I'd recommend these over the crushers any day
GamersWithOutAReason thank you i know what to pick up next week now :) Im still getting the crushers since im in need of some bass headphones Rn but u still will be picking these up
Got these on holiday in the States for about $130, and the Base is a little offsetting in non-base heavy songs at first... still amazing headphones, and the Base boost shall be tested as soon as I've charged it ^^ Thanks for the video!!
Great vid and review! About 2 years ago my older sister got to go to Best Buy and pick out a pair of headphones for her B-Day. She picked these ones and she had the same color as you. Black and Red. I really didn't care about them until about 5 or 6 months later when we went on a camping trip. She was listening to her music and she had the Bass Boost on. She had the volume turned up REALLY high. I coul hear them shaking from across the fire. I walked over and talked to her. She couldn't hear me so she took the headphones off and put them on my ears. I loved them and I wanted to get a pair of bluetooth headphones for my B-Day. I didn't want these specific ones because they would be too expensive. I got bluetooth headphones for B-Day, and they were these! I got the blue ones. I was so happy because my sister told all my Aunts and Uncles about these, so they each gave some money to buy them. It was good because I also got an iPod the same year. :)
Just got these for $89 at Best Buy and I'm absolutely in love with them. I also got a little amp so that when I play a game on something like 3DS, Wii U, XBox One, etc, I can still get that loud sound you get when the device is powered on.
I have a bass booster already on my phone and I am planning to get these headphones. I'm just curious if I were to turn on the bass boost on the headphones and my phone at the same time would that break anything?
@@xINTENSORx nah use viperandroid. It bass boosts everything beyond what the bass button can do. Just don't turn up the vol all the way. It'll really fuck your shit up if u do
Great video and review. I appreciate the designers having the little pause-play-next-previous control input be a toggle instead of the standard button or a touchpad.
great review. And for anybody not satisfied with the sound quality, try a 3rd party equalizer. These work really well with Viper4Android on my rooted note 3. The bass can be taken to insane levels, and the sound quality drop in bass boost could be cleared up well with the clarity toggle
the game freak yes, I actually would say the best bass focused headphones for 150. My Audiotechnica ATH-M50X sounds more clear and accurate but these have more a more bass with little trade off in clarity
Miles Trevonne I don't really like the design of audiotechnica.they don't have that much bass.but do they sound much clearer than the Sonys? Or is it just a little bit? I like the sennheiser urbanite xl wireless and these.which one would u recommend?There are also the v moda m 100 wireless. '_'
they could be a bit louder, they've definitely good sound and bass quality! but the volume like I said could be a bit louder.. still great phones I still use them =)
Your voice and your patience are remarkable. I can understand everything you are reviewing about this product. You should do commercials, I love the music too. I bought Beats2 and Sony MDR-XB950BT for myself for Christmas,couldn't decide which i wanted. I am just debating which I want, I just opened the Sony's after your review. Hope i'm not disappointed. I may keep both. I like the stand you have with yours in your video. Keep up the great videos, and I will keep watching. Thank You!
I got these 2 years ago for Christmas and I REALLY LOVED USING THEM. Then I broke one of the swivel joints so I had a loose ear cup. One more thing I didn't like was how hard it was to put the pads back on if they fell off and there aren't replacement 3.5mm audio jack cable that you can find unless you had headphones with so little space for the audio cable. I lost the cable twice and by the time I found it the second time, I had destroyed the headphones. Don't worry about breaking them unless you throw them around and don't treat them nicely
Their comparing them to beats ( the new Apple beats not monster beats) because of the bass bro , it's a bass head type of headphone . It has better sound quality than the new beats and has better bass that doesn't wash out the sound. It has a higher audio driver than the beats at 40m, and a higher frequency too. So there's the stats The reason why ppl say beats are shit is primarily because of the older (monster) beats by dre, the new (apple) beats by dre's have much better sound quality than the old ones. But the old ones left a bad legacy on the new ones
+morraynumbah52 The new beats are shit too xD I have both types of beats and compared to other headphones they're garbage. I did buy these headphones (XB950BT) and they're great for what they're designed to do but I always end up going back to my preferred headphones from Sennheiser or Audio Technica. I do still really like the Sony's though, I've found them brilliant for movies with that rumble they produce
I rarely subscribe to channels but you did such a great job on this video I liked and subbed immediately. It was short, to the point, and it was an honest opinion. Great work and keep it up. Very helpful.
Thanks for your advice on these headphones I got them yesterday and they are the best thing I ever heard in my life. THE BASS!! I WILL MARRY THAT BASS!! I tagged on Instagram to show you me rocking them. Your reviews are lit.
+Mawek They will break. It will take 1 small tiny crack then the whole hinge will break and Sony won't even do anything warranty wise. I loved the headphones too they were the best. Don't use them in bed when you're lying down on your side of your heax on your pillow... That probably got mine cracked.
+Mr Bubble Fudge Yep but plastic hinges with screws in will always end up breaking or cracking somehow. Same with loads of other things we've all broken before :P I've got warranty though so I will have to send them back to get replaced or fixed.
I wanted to use a Sony headset for my games because video game headsets can all sound the same and since it also carries the headset jack also, I’m super stoked to try it. Thanks for being super clear about this headset and it’s properties UrAvgConsumer!
Listening on the 950BTs that I just got for $90 on Amazon. I love them. I wish Judner would release an update. You don't need bass boost but when listening to bass heavy music, it can make the music more fun, especially at the gym. I wish people would stop comparing these to ATH M50Xs though. They're for totally different people and tastes.
They probably are. I didn't listen long . I was comparing them to the 300$ Beats Studio. The Sony probably has more balanced sounds. Of course at a Best Buy display they don't offer a big variety of music styles to try in their headphones. Mainly heavy bass styles. I like all types of music.
+aikidragonpiper71 ur right. For a fan of 808 bass heavy ultimate gangster rap the music choices they have at any store doesnt help at all. I have Beats Studios. Let me know if these Sony are that much better than the Beats studios cuz i don't want to spend all that money for some headphones that are slightly better.
Yeah they are crazy amazing.people buying beats are just the names,not the product.dre might found some 15 or 20 bucks of headphones and tell the professionals to make the perfect beats.Ain't fooling me shit anymore.i definitely buy the Sony one
ethobot Tragic sound quality. There is ridiculous levels of bass but its more of a rumble, its not refined at all, there is no punchiness to the sound and you almost cant hear the high frequencies. Also the general volume isnt very loud. My Sennheiser CX 3.0 in ear headphones that I use for travelling on the tube are better in every area sound quality wise when using them in the tube compared to these Sony's in a quiet room and they cost 1/3 the price. Oh and are much louder. I own a lot of headphones, I like a decent pair of headphones. I tend to prefer bass heavy headphones. But these particular phones are honestly the worst pair I have ever bought. Sony dropped the ball big time this time.
Just got them off ebay for 35$ So satisfied. Nevrr used bt headphones before and these don't really hurt my ears after extended use unless extra bass is activated for a prolonged period of time.
I was debating between a pair of Bose QC35 ($350) and the 950BT, and I went with a pair of 950BT. It was not only cheaper, but I listen to a lot of electronic music and these were exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint, the lack of a carrying case included but I can always get one separate.
I bought these when I saw this video. I probably haven’t used them since 2017…. And I just found them today… turned them on… AND THEY STILL HAD BATTERY. Still love the sound quality
Just got a pair Yesterday , this review really helped me and those headphones are dope! Your videos are awesome and I am always watching TLD vids,thanks 👌
Great presentation. Thank you for posting this. I just bought a pair of these for my wife as a Mother's Day gift. They are awesome, but the instructions are not very detailed so I thank God for guys like you on RUclips to figure this stuff out and fill in the blanks for me. I have a questions about charging and the RED LED. When the headphones are fully charged does the RED LED turn GREEN, or does it just go out? Do I absolutely need a computer to charge the unit, or can I use my iPhone charger?
Hey man, thanks for the sony reviews. I just bought my sony XB950B1. I heard a lot of reviews that they break easily within 6 months to a year. Did you have any problems so far with the sony models?
I have the regular wired version and i can tell that if you enjoy your music with a lot of bass,these are for you,but be aware they will cover the other sounds.
Getting this free with the Xperia XZ, thought they'd just be a cheap set of headphones free with the phone but now I can't wait to get these as much as I can't wait for the phone!
Hear.On Wireless NC or XB950BT? Is XB's noise isolation adequate? Tempted to get the Hear.On Wireless NC but the price is too steep. Tested those cans a few days ago, sound is just alright, narrow sound stage and relatively weak bass. The only good thing about that is the NC, but it's actually double the price when you compare it with the XB950BT. I'm fine with XB as long as it has good isolation. I'm running my Bowers and Wilkins P7 currently man, the isolation is not that much better than my Fidelio X2 (little to none).
I like how people buy the product first, then watch the Reviews.
Me hey
I literally did this today.
Neil Ahuja tru😂😂
I have watched reviews about headphones for about half a year now and i still haven't chosed what i should buy :D
Neil Ahuja how else can someone without their own opinion find out if their headphones are good. Just by wearing them and, like, listening to them and stuff? Cmon. That's hard. Now I'm off to watch a review on the burger I just ate. I want to know if it tastes good or not. I'd hate to buy another one if someone else says it's not good.
These put Beats to shame. Just, don't even consider any other headphones compared to these. I got the wired version for $93 and I feel like every single penny is worth it! If you want base, even the wired ones bring a living crap tone of it. And the rest of the audio is on point, nothing sounds scratchy or annoying. Very easy to listen to and to get into the beat! 5/5 on a review, would definitely recommend it!
Original comment (Sometime in 2016 IDK): Watching this vid with these headphones.

So, this headphone have noise cancelling?
No. The upcoming model in around May (XB950N1) will have noise cancelling.
Thats the review I was looking for because i bought them for when i workout thanks!!
UltimateLizard331 do they have a mic
How high does the volume of these go, because I just bought them and on the maximun volume I can still hear the surrounding people.
5 years after watching this video and purchasing I still rock my 950bt's at this very moment. Still sound great and no issues other than wear on the earcup leather. Can buy replacements for 15 on ebay though. I've loved these for years.
They are certified hood classics until hinge breaks
Your review really influenced my decision as to what pair of headphones to buy. They sound great. Thanks!
Never seen you man, but this review was amazing. Your voice is so smooth and calm. Subbed man... respect
This thing is a beast..! Got it today (25/10/2016)it's an absolute rocker..! For 130$ in an local Sony center..! Now coming on to that badass BASS BOOST button, oh my freakin God..!! It's a bass heads dream..!! Go for it guys.!

What you don't trust me? lol jk
People, it took me time until i realized it isn't a dream.
They are 88$ on amazon. Again. And no, it isn't Black Friday now.
They are prone to damage on the swivel. Many reports of severe breakage on the swivel. Be careful.
I have these they are the most comfortable and nicest sounding headphones I have ever used
Most places that sell them have ones that u can test them for ur self
I bought them for 80 dollars at Best Buy
Hey I have a question, how do they fit on your head? Do they come off easy? Planning to work out with them

i died when he said that
im still using these headphones in 2021.
It still works like a beast.
Thank you, I was missing your headphone reviews! Great job on this one!
Thanks! Headphones are going to be making quite the comeback on the channel.
+UrAvgConsumer yesss that's why I subbed but I still love you other vids!
Update, it's $90 at best buy for Black Friday.
I got them today there they are great
Yeah I got mine delivered yesterday. Have returned today, what a waste of money! They are by far the worst headphones I have ever bought.
Scuba Sausage why?

Dude u need alot more subs, u should have at least as much MKBHD, because your videos are quality, simple , and just overall great
Thanks! I appreciate that.

Ive used mine for 2 years mowing, shoveling snow, walking to work, in and out of bag and house. Never an issue. Lots of hip hop to play on Spotify.
Black Friday today..Yall can get them at Walmart and Best Buy for 89.99 USD and they come in black, red, silver, and blue (colors)
Thats because their shit.
why?

Where did you get the bag you have for them? I have the xb650bt and I need a bag to carry them...
I just ordered these!!
I love these my favorite headphones. the only problem is that the swivel breaks very easily

I have these and let's just say, the bass boost button does it's damn job.
Holy shit is everyone's first reaction. Incredible job Sony.
If battery dies can you use the wire to use headphone? cuz beats studios u cant even use wired without charging
Yes. he just explained it
you should watch the video
Sembrano didn't need to get butthurt, he said it in the video.
+Sembrano 2:20
+George Rickett lmao stop copying wht everyone says u bandwagon
Does anyone like it better when headphones have a name like "beats solo" for example instead of TZX750Q
Ryan Wilson basic name for basic headphones
Ikr
I agree basic names are better but weird ones (personal opinion) has are more professional feel
I think naming the headphones doesnt sound as cool as a shorter code such as M50x sounds better and more up market than simply beats solo
Those headphones sure are easier to say during the videos lol
I have a bass booster already on my phone and I am planning to get these headphones. I'm just curious if I were to turn on the bass boost on the headphones and my phone at the same time would that break anything?
GET REKT no, you'd probably not get more boost if it's already boosted from your headphones
it might break your head
@@xINTENSORx nah use viperandroid. It bass boosts everything beyond what the bass button can do. Just don't turn up the vol all the way. It'll really fuck your shit up if u do
Great video and review. I appreciate the designers having the little pause-play-next-previous control input be a toggle instead of the standard button or a touchpad.
I missed them so much and I'm still looking for them online 😢
Should i get these in red or black? can't decide
Black imo
i got them in black on prime day lmao
blue

great review. And for anybody not satisfied with the sound quality, try a 3rd party equalizer. These work really well with Viper4Android on my rooted note 3. The bass can be taken to insane levels, and the sound quality drop in bass boost could be cleared up well with the clarity toggle

the game freak yes, I actually would say the best bass focused headphones for 150. My Audiotechnica ATH-M50X sounds more clear and accurate but these have more a more bass with little trade off in clarity
Miles Trevonne I don't really like the design of audiotechnica.they don't have that much bass.but do they sound much clearer than the Sonys? Or is it just a little bit? I like the sennheiser urbanite xl wireless and these.which one would u recommend?There are also the v moda m 100 wireless. '_'
they could be a bit louder, they've definitely good sound and bass quality! but the volume like I said could be a bit louder.. still great phones I still use them =)
Your reviews are very professional and visually pleasing. Looks like you put a lot of work in your videos. Keep it up!!
Your voice and your patience are remarkable. I can understand everything you are reviewing about this product. You should do commercials, I love the music too. I bought Beats2 and Sony MDR-XB950BT for myself for Christmas,couldn't decide which i wanted. I am just debating which I want, I just opened the Sony's after your review. Hope i'm not disappointed. I may keep both. I like the stand you have with yours in your video. Keep up the great videos, and I will keep watching. Thank You!

I got these 2 years ago for Christmas and I REALLY LOVED USING THEM. Then I broke one of the swivel joints so I had a loose ear cup. One more thing I didn't like was how hard it was to put the pads back on if they fell off and there aren't replacement 3.5mm audio jack cable that you can find unless you had headphones with so little space for the audio cable. I lost the cable twice and by the time I found it the second time, I had destroyed the headphones. Don't worry about breaking them unless you throw them around and don't treat them nicely
5 years later I still love these...
I'm really skeptical about buying these headphones, I see a lot of people comparing them to beats and beats are absolute garbage in terms of sound.
Their comparing them to beats ( the new Apple beats not monster beats) because of the bass bro , it's a bass head type of headphone . It has better sound quality than the new beats and has better bass that doesn't wash out the sound. It has a higher audio driver than the beats at 40m, and a higher frequency too. So there's the stats
The reason why ppl say beats are shit is primarily because of the older (monster) beats by dre, the new (apple) beats by dre's have much better sound quality than the old ones. But the old ones left a bad legacy on the new ones
The new beats are pretty decent. Now the old ones were horrid.
+morraynumbah52 The new beats are shit too xD I have both types of beats and compared to other headphones they're garbage. I did buy these headphones (XB950BT) and they're great for what they're designed to do but I always end up going back to my preferred headphones from Sennheiser or Audio Technica. I do still really like the Sony's though, I've found them brilliant for movies with that rumble they produce
EddWolf78 your opinion. I liked them, but whatever
Everyone has their own preference with sound signature at the end of the day :)
Are these better than the skullcandy crushers?
daniel yes
+Pork of Doom do you know if they work on ps4? Like the mic does it work?
daniel yes it works the Mic is built in to the headphones and it has pretty good sound
daniel the crusher 2 wireless beat these headphones
krusher is insanely good
Still worth in 2019?
2021*
I rarely subscribe to channels but you did such a great job on this video I liked and subbed immediately. It was short, to the point, and it was an honest opinion. Great work and keep it up. Very helpful.
Ive had these for a year now, still the best ones out there for me! bass is soo good!
Yo it looks like we got drake fan 2:50 😒😖
Forget meek mill he was killed after drake's diss
sebastian corro He still hasn't dropped his second Diss yet! Watch and see 😈
Anykinds Matthew he already apologized to drake. He accepted his defeat... Look it up bruh 😎
Anykinds Matthew meek still gon take a major L though bruh
Lmao Drake about to drop his thrid diss not second
bruh £200, now it's £59. I'm saving a lot
MrCuntastic 0 Amazon.co.uk, and at currys. But thats for the wired version which is practically the same.
MrCuntastic 0 I told u earlier that its the wired version.NP
I guess wired version doesn't have bass boost?
BSBOfficial China ur right lad.
200 down to 129... but i got the 2 year warranty so that bumped them back to 160 ish
SONY >> BEATS TRASH
these are the best headphones I've ever bought I got them during the black Friday sale. Even without the bass boost the sound is insanely awesome.
Thanks for your advice on these headphones I got them yesterday and they are the best thing I ever heard in my life. THE BASS!! I WILL MARRY THAT BASS!! I tagged on Instagram to show you me rocking them. Your reviews are lit.
Guys heh, want aj joke? Get ready...
iPhone 7 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its not even announced yet...
You should be a comedian
Tommy Ortiz ikr
+_rauhlkid _ Not even announced yet, already became a joke.
I'm from the future it happened and it sucked harder than a vacuum cleaner
i got them today at best buy for 98 dollars
Really good, and i really have no words to describe these headphones.
Would these be good for rock music?
Gutted.
Are they good?
Salem Lol no. I returned mine.
I think they are great, but these earcups are BIG, kinda looks silly haha
haha! i think so too :D But sound quality is very good!
Mark VE these are tiny compared to others
I was at Best Buy tonight and tried these headphones out. No question these are on the hit list. The bass and overall sound quality blew me away.
With that forward and back switch, not only can you skip back and forth on music, you can switch between videos in RUclips video playlists.
Dude just picked these up from target out the blue for $69
I use my pair 12 hours a day and they never get uncomfortable
I know people who are like "Beats By Dre are the best." LOL!
I ordered the xb950b1 yesterday! Cant wait for them to come next week!
Saw them on sale at Best Buy for $129.99 walked in today and they were further discounted to $99.99. Bought them and I'm so loving em!!
They break so easily.... The hinges on the sides crack and snap. Plastic hinges is a no no.
+Mawek They will break. It will take 1 small tiny crack then the whole hinge will break and Sony won't even do anything warranty wise. I loved the headphones too they were the best. Don't use them in bed when you're lying down on your side of your heax on your pillow... That probably got mine cracked.
+Kizzster head*
+Mr Bubble Fudge Yep but plastic hinges with screws in will always end up breaking or cracking somehow. Same with loads of other things we've all broken before :P I've got warranty though so I will have to send them back to get replaced or fixed.
+Mawek Not for me, Both earcups hinges cracked. Good I've got warranty though.
+Kizzster - QUIT RUclips are you that strong or on purpose to tell someone not to buy it.is that what you mean
Does anyone use these and know if their good for gaming?
Sliq not really, better than speakers but that's about it. would reccomend a different pair for gaming
Sliq id say that are good for gaming
I game with them and they sound crazy good you will feel the sound more
I got these headphones for 30$, mint w/box
I wanted to use a Sony headset for my games because video game headsets can all sound the same and since it also carries the headset jack also, I’m super stoked to try it.
Thanks for being super clear about this headset and it’s properties UrAvgConsumer!
Listening on the 950BTs that I just got for $90 on Amazon. I love them. I wish Judner would release an update. You don't need bass boost but when listening to bass heavy music, it can make the music more fun, especially at the gym. I wish people would stop comparing these to ATH M50Xs though. They're for totally different people and tastes.
He listening to drake-back to back😂
Crispier than a potato chip...
129$ at Best Buy and they sound as good as 300$ Beats .
They probably are. I didn't listen long . I was comparing them to the 300$ Beats Studio. The Sony probably has more balanced sounds. Of course at a Best Buy display they don't offer a big variety of music styles to try in their headphones. Mainly heavy bass styles. I like all types of music.
+aikidragonpiper71
ur right. For a fan of 808 bass heavy ultimate gangster rap the music choices they have at any store doesnt help at all. I have Beats Studios. Let me know if these Sony are that much better than the Beats studios cuz i don't want to spend all that money for some headphones that are slightly better.
Yeah they are crazy amazing.people buying beats are just the names,not the product.dre might found some 15 or 20 bucks of headphones and tell the professionals to make the perfect beats.Ain't fooling me shit anymore.i definitely buy the Sony one
joo jett yee its like buying an iPhone its just for the brand...
Just received these after purchasing them on eBay for $65. Sound is ridiculous an bass is amazing. Great review.
Just bought a pair in the UK for £75.00 looking forward to them arriving tomorrow from Amazon. Great revue thanks.
my friend got a pair on Amazon for 88. lolwut
Got them at best buy for 88 to :)
When does the Black Friday sale ends??
I did too. Returned them the same day. They are a massive pile of shit.
ethobot Tragic sound quality. There is ridiculous levels of bass but its more of a rumble, its not refined at all, there is no punchiness to the sound and you almost cant hear the high frequencies. Also the general volume isnt very loud.
My Sennheiser CX 3.0 in ear headphones that I use for travelling on the tube are better in every area sound quality wise when using them in the tube compared to these Sony's in a quiet room and they cost 1/3 the price. Oh and are much louder.
I own a lot of headphones, I like a decent pair of headphones. I tend to prefer bass heavy headphones. But these particular phones are honestly the worst pair I have ever bought. Sony dropped the ball big time this time.
What headphones do y'all use?
I just got mine this afternoon and I'll have to say, they feel very premium compared to anything else I've ever owned
Just got these today after listening to several while my son was shopping for headphones. Love them.
Just got them off ebay for 35$
So satisfied. Nevrr used bt headphones before and these don't really hurt my ears after extended use unless extra bass is activated for a prolonged period of time.
Just got some on marketplace for 20 bucks and man do these sound great! The bass is really good and doesnt compromise on sound too much
I was debating between a pair of Bose QC35 ($350) and the 950BT, and I went with a pair of 950BT. It was not only cheaper, but I listen to a lot of electronic music and these were exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint, the lack of a carrying case included but I can always get one separate.
Still have these headphones, going 2 years strong, I got no complaints.
I'm very tempted to get a pair of these. I have the cabled version and i'm very impressed with them...
ive had these for over a year ...and i watched e3 with them....best choice i ever made...and e3 sounded awesome
Professional reviewing on almost all of your videos. Subbed.
I bought these when I saw this video. I probably haven’t used them since 2017…. And I just found them today… turned them on… AND THEY STILL HAD BATTERY. Still love the sound quality
Just got a pair Yesterday , this review really helped me and those headphones are dope! Your videos are awesome and I am always watching TLD vids,thanks 👌
Great presentation. Thank you for posting this. I just bought a pair of these for my wife as a Mother's Day gift. They are awesome, but the instructions are not very detailed so I thank God for guys like you on RUclips to figure this stuff out and fill in the blanks for me. I have a questions about charging and the RED LED. When the headphones are fully charged does the RED LED turn GREEN, or does it just go out? Do I absolutely need a computer to charge the unit, or can I use my iPhone charger?
Dude great review. Concise, informative & to the point
Hey man, thanks for the sony reviews. I just bought my sony XB950B1. I heard a lot of reviews that they break easily within 6 months to a year. Did you have any problems so far with the sony models?
I have the regular wired version and i can tell that if you enjoy your music with a lot of bass,these are for you,but be aware they will cover the other sounds.
Quality review man. More channels need to be like this guy.
i just got em ,, and they are aweseom after lil burnin ,, battery last for 18 to 20 hours,, i am very happy with these base cans .. .
I used them on the plane, wore it for 5 hours flight to New York. Some headphones are irretating but this one damn I love the feeling.
5 years from now and it's still doing great
wiing Man I get constant buzzing from mine, can’t find a fix at all.
great video man, your review helped me decide to buy this headphones! keep up with the channel!
Had these since Xmas, still better than anything I have tried, better than beats for sure
Got these since yesterday. They are awesome ! What a bass
Getting this free with the Xperia XZ, thought they'd just be a cheap set of headphones free with the phone but now I can't wait to get these as much as I can't wait for the phone!
Hear.On Wireless NC or XB950BT?
Is XB's noise isolation adequate? Tempted to get the Hear.On Wireless NC but the price is too steep. Tested those cans a few days ago, sound is just alright, narrow sound stage and relatively weak bass. The only good thing about that is the NC, but it's actually double the price when you compare it with the XB950BT. I'm fine with XB as long as it has good isolation. I'm running my Bowers and Wilkins P7 currently man, the isolation is not that much better than my Fidelio X2 (little to none).
