If you're an audiophile who wants the purest and clearest reproduction of the source being played, then it's likely that you're not interested in Sony's XB (extra bass) headphones. We tried out the Sony MDR XB950BT - the top of the XB line, which also supports Bluetooth playback.

Bass heavy; but not muddy; Excellent battery life; Reasonably durable build

Bass boost drowns out other frequencies; The headphones look cheap and plasticky

These were for my son, and he's been listening to music through them since they arrived, and he's very happy with them.

Pros: Bass heads would love the bass on it, very long bluetooth life around 15-20 hours and 50ft range Cons: The headphones are very bulky, making it hard to wear on your neck. If worn for lets say an hour without being taken off a plethora of sweat would have accumulated around your ears.

A bass head will like the bass; Bluetooth range and life

Bulky; Poor durablity; Sweat accumulates around ears; Bass boost overpowering; dirty bass; can not use bass boost when wired; Lots of leakage

Very comfortable and offers great sound quality

It is not foldable

Pros: Good sound quality. seems to be sturdy construction. Easy to link up via Bluetooth to iPhone . Great value/bargain compared to Beats/Bose, which are easily double almost triple the price, but not in sound quality or construction. Plenty of listening time per charge. Charges very quickly.

I bought this used and I liked of how it look and when I first listen it had a great bass and the only thing that I did not like was of how it can break easily am being very careful of not breaking this.

The MDR-XB950BT Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset is a $199.99/AU$249.95 wireless headphone that -- you guessed it -- serves up a generous helping of bass.
