Reviews around price (4.52 of 5)

  • When I compared Bluetooth-headsets, it was the best quality with reasonable price
  • I prefer SONY headphones over beats because of the great quality and lesser price.
  • All in All These headphones in my opinion are the closest you can get to bose quality for a cheaper price.
  • AMAZING price on these (50% off) and the sound quality can't be beat.
  • Mine broke as I was taking them off, and it's exactly one year after I bought them, so disappointing

Reviews around headset (4.33 of 5)

  • Excellent sound quality over bluetooth of all things (used bt headsets at version 2.0, they were horrible).
  • The best audio headset I have bought for 100 $ price range
  • (And yes, I use the "Extra Bass" feature, which apparently reduces battery life.)The headset is so comfortable
  • When I went to mow, I knew it wouldn't be as effective, but I was shocked as to how much of the engine noise was cut as I mowed.
  • This headset was fine until it stopped working on one of the headphone shortly after one month of a gentle use

Reviews around battery life (4.21 of 5)

  • Great sound and the battery life is more than sufficient.
  • quality is amazing, and the battery life is just insane, they honestly never die on me, very reliable.
  • The sound quality and bluetooth capabilities(although the battery life was weird) were amazing
  • The sound quality is great, the battery life is fantastic, and they fit VERY well
  • The upside to using the audio cable is that battery life is not a concern, but the Bass Boost button that increases the bass will not function as it is battery-powered

Reviews around bass (4.08 of 5)

Reviews around bluetooth (3.99 of 5)

  • Even the most expensive Bluetooth headphones have this flaw
  • A lot of the cheaper Bluetooth headphones are no-name brands I've never heard of
  • But the Bluetooth is easy to pair and the sound is great
  • If you're looking for a pair of headphones for bass and Bluetooth capability, this is good I guess
  • One of the issues with cheaper, no-name Bluetooth headphones is bad build quality, which was a turn-off in reviews of other headphones I looked at

Reviews around product (3.84 of 5)

  • They work fine no issues, sound is ok, not a bad product for the price.
  • If you like bass you will love these great sound and product without digging to deep into your wallet
  • This product is user unfriendly and not worth the trouble/hassle or money
  • The product starts taking a toll on the ears and the surrounding skull bones after a certain time frame
  • I just don't understand the moronic product decision around the cable.

Reviews around headphone break (3.04 of 5)

  • I promise if you are as particular and picky as I am about your music and sound, you will fall in love with these headphones
  • The biggest problem I had is that the bolt that swivels the headphones break VERY easily
  • I use these headphones with bluetooth connection to my Android phone as well as to my laptop, for phone calls and web-conferences as well as listening to music
  • Just like previous reviews, which I should have paid attention to, the headphones broke at the junction where the ear piece rotates, right along the screws
  • They connected swiftly and easily to both my iphone and laptop, as well as with the included 3.5mm cord

Reviews around background noise (3.04 of 5)

  • I use them at the gym and they are perfect for listening to your music without any background noise at all
  • I primarily listen to Classic Rock, and the bass guitar sounds just as clear and loud as it should be
  • wise MDRXB950BT/B might be kind of big if to be used on the plane (for a long distance), and it does not have active echo cancellation function.
  • i can't very well use it to cancel the noise out and get some shut eye while listening to music; i'll have to use my headphones
  • I promise if you are as particular and picky as I am about your music and sound, you will fall in love with these headphones

Reviews around warranty (3.01 of 5)

  • I have wasted so much money on the extended warranty because I’m less than a year I have had to have them replaced twice
  • I use these headphones with bluetooth connection to my Android phone as well as to my laptop, for phone calls and web-conferences as well as listening to music
  • Its as if as soon as the warranty expires the product becomes like glass and breaks everywhere
  • When I went to mow, I knew it wouldn't be as effective, but I was shocked as to how much of the engine noise was cut as I mowed.
  • There's just more companies around that have more modern, better and more practical warranties

Reviews around bite (2.28 of 5)

  • If the bass wasn't as artificial and a bit more crisp and clean, these would be an easy 5 stars
  • They have amazing low end but it may lack a bit of high end
  • The mids present themselves well, although the bass end can interfere with them a bit.
  • Connection is great, I just wish they were a tad bit louder through Bluetooth
  • The Bass Boost can be a bit much for some genres, but is a lot of fun for hip/hop and rap

Reviews around customer (1.95 of 5)

  • Bass boost s not needed in most situations
  • By the way, SONY has the worst customer service in the US
  • i been on the phone with sony for 2 weeks trying to get a repair but terrible customer service
  • Good for BASS HEAD people who love R&B, Hip Hop, Dub Step
  • They sounded great, but poor customer service, poor warranty, and a broken product, warrant a one star.

Reviews around boy (1.95 of 5)

  • That however does not warrant anything less than 5 stars for these bad boys.
  • wise MDRXB950BT/B might be kind of big if to be used on the plane (for a long distance), and it does not have active echo cancellation function.

Reviews around piece (1.92 of 5)

  • I purchased these in less then 6 months ago and the piece that holds the ear cup was cheaply made and broke while i was taking them off my head.
  • i can't very well use it to cancel the noise out and get some shut eye while listening to music; i'll have to use my headphones
  • 1/8 in piece of PLASTIC holding ear cups to headband broke and Sony's response was essentially too bad you paid for these overpriced pieces of crap.

  • Fast forward two more months and a mainsupport arm by the ear cup has cracked.
  • I bought it again, but it lasted only few months, and exactly the same spot is broken
  • I'll be editing this through the the year,First month impressions really great with rock, heavy metal, and all sub generes of metal, the bass is good for EDM fans and the bass boost button can be over kill on other genres that's not EDM, trance, dub step, and hard style
  • I reached out to Sony for repairs but they won't help me.at 150 dollars these headphones should not break in less then 6 months
  • These lasted ~18 months before the arm holding the left speaker AND the yoke on the right side BOTH cracked
