Overall headphones' quality is ok, but it's a purposeful misleading to write it's country of origin is Japan, for it's made in China. So I was very disappointed when I had finally had that product.

Initially, I found these wireless headphones to be of excellent sound reproduction with nice controls and connectivity. However, this all went wrong when the pivot hinge failed within the guarantee period. THese were not dropped or misued, it simply failed when wearing them.

I'd really like to like this headphone, because it does some things quite well: it's well-built, I like the styling, and if the pads were just a little wider and the clamp a goodly bit lighter, I'm sure it would be very comfortable.

Solid build; fairly plush pads; nicely styled

Ludicrously overdone bass; veiled sound; painful clamp; tangleprone cable

The XB in Sony's MDR-XB950B1 ($129.99) stands for "extra bass," and Sony isn't kidding around—these Bluetooth headphones offer some tremendous low frequency rumble. They have a Bass Effect button that boosts the lows dramatically, but the headphones deliver a notably bass-forward listening experience even without it turned on. They also happen to be quite comfortable and handsomely designed. If you're looking for balance and accuracy from your headphones, however, this is not the pair for you. Design Available in black, blue, or red models, the headphones feature an almost two-tone, brushed metallic sheen on the earcups and headband—it's a sharp, eye-catching look. The outer panels of the circumaural (over-the-ear) earcups are emblazoned with the Sony logo, and the cups swivel flat for compact storage. There is oddly no carrying case, but if the money saved on not providing one went toward the generous memory foam cushioning and leatherette-lined earpads and headband instead, that...

The wireless Sony MDR-XB950B1 headphones deliver as much bass thump as any pair we've tested, and because of that never sound quite balanced.

Insanely powerful bass response; Comfortable, attractive design; Can be used in passive, wired mode

Added bass can sound comically heavy

Well made, great design and very easy to work, sound is good, the base effect button feature makes it even better, well worth a look if you are in the market for headphones.

I am a music lover & a music artist. These headphones are as incredible with sound as they are in style. I could not be happier with the wireless efficiency and the style is a standout in today's world of "everyone wears Beats headphones."

The XB family has been around for a while, and the MDR-XB950B1 looks a little dated. It's also somewhat expensive for what you're getting - but it's definitely fun to listen to the right music with. It's hard to say that this is a great pair of headphones.

Comfortable and sturdy; Stands out; aurally; EQ is actually useful

Requires the EQ a lot; Expensive; Bulky; doesn't fold

I purchased my set on sale at the Edmonton South Store in sale for 83.99 total about 3 weeks ago. I have been nothing but thrilled with the experience till now. The bass is not like a subwoofer as I Naively thought but still a fantastic experience all around great for all types of media including...

Very comfortable Excellent bass and sound quality Fantastic build quality at price point Full coverage of the 20-20000 Hz audio spectrum with audio quality really dipping off after 20 Hz Firm enough to stay on head during any commute even on bike or skate board while still remaining very comfortable...

Does not cover advertised 3-20 Hz range effectively MAY experience damage or wear around pleather head band edges

One of the best and quality headsets from SONY. Awesome quality and mind blowing bass. Clear and crisp sound. It's worth the price. It would be better if the provide carry case for the headset.
