Yesterday at CES 2017, Sony held their press event and introduced a number of new products including four new EXTRA BASS speaker models, in the form of the Sony SRS-XB10, Sony SRS-XB20, Sony SRS-XB30 and Sony SRS-XB40. Along with those new speakers, Sony also announced two new Bluetooth headphones.

Sony's Extra Bass line of headphones may not appeal to audio purists, but it's popular with mainstream consumers who enjoy their music with an extra helping of bass.

Sony's expanding its XB Series headphone line with four new models, including the wireless MDR-XB950N1, which includes active noise cancellation.

If you're an audio enthusiast, the quest for high quality sound is never ending. There are countless headphones on the market, each of which are specially tunes to have their own unique sound.

Sony's MDR-XB950N1 headphones deliver a sound signature that's less crisp and bright than many we test, but avoid sounding muddy when the bass is tamped down. When the effect is engaged, all bets are off.

Exceptionally powerful bass that can be adjusted using app; Good overall audio performance; Solid noise cancellation; Includes cable for wired listening

Dialed-up bass isn't for people seeking an accurate mix; No remote/inline mic on audio cable

As the field of wireless noise-canceling headphones finally seems to be opening up, products like the Sony MDR-XB950N1 are entering the ring. At $249.99, these headphones are a full $100 less than our current top pick, Bose's QuietComfort 35 ($299.00 at Amazon) . They deliver some truly head-rattling bass that can be tuned to your liking with an app. And noise cancellation is above average, but not quite up to par with more expensive competitors. Design Available in black or green models with a semi-matte finish and a subtle gritty sparkle, the circumaural (over-the-ear) MDR-XB950N1 headphones ($248.94 at Amazon) features circular earcups with huge, well-cushioned memory foam-style earpads. The underside of the headband is also comfortably cushioned and covered in black leather. The cloth grilles covering the drivers are well recessed (by more than half an inch) inside the earpads. Overall, the design has a sharp, minimalist feel despite the rather bulky build. Along the outer p...

For the price, Sony's wireless MDR-XB950N1 headphones deliver laudable noise cancellation and strong wireless audio with adjustable bass response.

* Nice design; * Powerful bass; * NFC compatible; * Bass Effect feature; * Noise Cancelling; * Long battery life

I bought these as a gift for my husband, and he thinks they are great. They are quite light and super comfy. The song be quality is amazing and the noise cancelling function is superb.

I have had a lot of folks asking lately about the different options for relatively affordable bluetooth, noise-cancelling headphones. Two options available are the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and the Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC. The similarities between the two are abundant.

Awesome headphones. Solid noise cancellation, great noise and the bass is great. Thoroughly recommend as a pair of Bluetooth headphones with great bass for a mid range price!

I bought these a week ago to replace a damaged pair of Sony wireless headphones. I was a huge fan of my previous headphones prior to them being damaged and was very sad to see them go. That was until I tried the Sony Mdr- Xb950N1s.
