Extreme bass emphasis Earpads heat up quickly Granular EQ adjustments default down to SBC streaming

Big headphones, check. Active noise cancellation, check. Good looks, check. That is, in a way, a rather solid foundation for the new Sony WH-XB900N headphones to build on. The latest set of cans joining the Sony headphone line-up.

It’s no secret that when it comes to smartphones, Sony has had more than a few issues. However, that hasn’t stopped the Japanese tech giant from upping the ante in other categories.

The Sony WH-1000XM3 and Bose QC35ii are widely considered the gold standard for wireless noise cancelling headphones, but both these models cost well over Rs. 20,000 in India.

Noise isolation isn't ideal; Bluetooth 4.2 instead of Bluetooth 5.0; Connection stability issues with 990kbps LDAC; Powerful bass can cause listener fatigue

Sony's Extra Bass WH-XB900N noise canceling Bluetooth headphones sound great, are low-latency, and do a good job at blocking out unwanted sound.

Impressive sound; Low latency; Google and Alexa support

The Sony WH-XB900N delivers as advertised. And unlike many other extra bass headphones I've tested in this price range, these cans offer an impressively clean profile.

After having the headphones for two weeks I have found them to have a wonderful depth of sound to include fantastic clarity/bass and great features. I have found they are very comfortable on the ear, even after several hours use they haven't made my ears sore like other headphones can do.

Best pair of headphones I've ever had, I recommend getting them.

These are the most comfortable over ear sound cancelling headphones I've ever had. The ear cups are generously sized for my ears and the soft leatherette padding is what you would expect for a premium priced set.

More bass and less taste than their WH-1000XM3 brothers, but these headphones are still engaging and very comfortable

Very good battery life; Good sound width and imaging; Comfortable

Active noise cancellation isn’t very effective; Slow charging; Flabby; inflated bass
