Sony WH-XB910N EXTRA BASS Noise Cancelling Headphones, Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headset with Microphone and Alexa Voice Control, Black

Headphones are my life! Let me explain.... I've always loved Headphones from a young age. A Walkman was with me from birth it feels like. I Dj'd in the early 2000s and Headphones became more somehow. I'm a full time detailer and music is very important to me and helps me work. I've been through hundreds of Headphones from old plug in to Bluetooth and I've hit so many brands. I was earbuds for years until a coworker turned me on to over the ear 3 years ago. I took a chance on a no name brand and was pleasantly surprised. Cheap $20 headphones lasted 2 1/2 years and were great. Then I got a new job ,started making more money and had to work in a very loud shop. My $20 headphones didn't sound the same. I knew I was due for an upgrade and battery life was starting to go on My cheapies. I was put into a place like most that I had to upgrade and thought it would be easy and cheap but I was very wrong. I spent a week researching and reading reviews for every headphones. When I Dj'd my favorite headphones were my Sony Mdr-v700dj and paired with my Sony erricson Walkman phone in 2008 were a very sweet setup. I knew I didn't want to spend crazy money on headphones because wearing while you work definitely risk breaking them. So I ordered these with the idea I'll just return if I don't like. I hated them the first day! Sound was horrible, fit was tight, connection was horrible and I couldn't figure out controls. Went home that night ready to return and remembered reading a review about a Sony app for them. I downloaded it and it fixed all sound problems! Extra bass now worked! Connecting through the app made weird crackling go away. Still unsure of returning I brought to work again. I don't read instructions I grab and learn. I didn't realize it had a noise canceling button and just thought it always had it on. In this moment every sound was pushed out and the music was just clear and perfect. Extra bass makes it sound like a little subwoofer is in there lol. Waited 3 months to write a review so I could see if they are tough and they hold up well to my work environment. Happy to report I've figured out and really love the touch controls. When I was searching I didn't think I needed this but it's awesome and I'm not sure how I lived without it. Phone calls too.... my old headphones calls sounded horrible on both ends. These sound creepy good 👍🏻 like they are in the same room

I really like these. I've owned the Sony XM5s and the Bose Q45s, not counting the Skull Crushers, Marshall's, Beats Solos, and Soundcore Q35s, because none of those compare to the first two. I will keep it real here, these are not the 5s or 45s in sound, or design quality, but they shouldn't be. I paid over $300 for those two and paid a 3rd of the price for these. I got these used for like $86. The Sound Quality on these Sonys are very good not great for the music I listen to. I listen to mostly Hip-hop, then r&b, Soul, and Gospel when in the mood. These for sure bump. The bass on these are clean, crisp, and just bang. The bass is actually better than any of the headphones listed above. I consider myself an audiophile, I've always been into music and quality sound. Searching for the best sound I can find. The mids and highs on these don't compare to the 5s or 45s at all but they also aren't bad. For the price, build quality, and battery life, you can't go wrong. If you love strictly vocals these don't super shine in that category. If you love bass and want a nice clean sharp sounding headphones, that should last a while, these are amazing for what I paid for them. If these go up to original price in the mid $200s I would just spend a little more for the 5s because those are the best headphones I've ever heard from the ones I've listened to. For sub $100, for the music I listen to, these can't be beat. My one and only complaint, which has been mentioned in the comments, is they don't get as loud as I'd like, which is sad because they for sure can handle it. At full blast they will give you a great experience and the noise canceling is very good. Again the 5s and 45s are better at noise canceling by a small margin, see a theme here? But on a plane, I zone out, and am in my own world. Bottom line you won't be disappointed unless you want to lose your hearing at a young or old age I guess, and need honestly speaking, too much volume. I wish I had more volume but not by much. These work just fine, and it's probably a good thing they don't get louder because I'd listen to them as loud as they would go, that's just me.

After several years of my Skullcandy Venue ANCs, they finally gave out and left me searching through the wilds of the ANC offerings. I've always preferred over the ear cans to earbuds. I was traveling a lot pre-pandemic, and would also wear them when doing the yard, so over the ear just worked better for me. This helped reduce the options, but there a still a lot out there. I quickly narrowed it down to these or the Ankers, and on reviews and ratings went this direction. It also helped they were half price. And overall, I'm pretty happy with them. I'll start with the complaints first, so you can decide if they're deal breakers for you. The app is pointless, save for changing the EQ settings. And why do I want my headphones knowing when I'm home and changing settings accordingly? Ugh. Not a feature I need at all. And now, the bass. It's a lot when turned up in the settings, you that point you will get distortion on some songs (think a 95 Camry with factory speakers). I have pretty broad tastes, but it wasn't genre specific. You'll want to set it around +6 for best results. It is an upgrade over the lack of bass in my Venues, just be ready to tweak it. As for positives: The battery is nuts. I use it every day, and charge it once every two weeks. I thought my Venues had great life, but these are another level. If you plan on leaving these in a gym bag, that's a good thing. These are incredibly comfortable. Both the ear pads and the band pad are soft but supportive, and the shape and geometry are excellent. The overall sound quality is pretty good, but I suspect if you're an audiophile you'll find the mids lacking. Probably a compromise in getting better lows, but unless hearing everything clearly is a must, these are good enough. Get these when they're on sale, generally enjoy them, and don't feel too bad when they eventually pass on and you're back searching for your next pair.

Great headphones, I've been very happy with them. The sound quality is great and they are very comfortable. I wear glasses, and have no issues wearing these headphones for my entire work day. Battery life is great, I only charge them maybe once a week. I'm always going to want more noise cancellation, but these do a decent job. Giving a 5 star review, but that said, while the touch controls are really convenient, they are too sensitive. Working in an office environment, I sit most of the day so I need to stretch a little bit now and then. And just about every time I raise my arms above my head to stretch, my shoulder inevitably will tap the touch controls and either pause what I'm listening to, or if it's music change the track etc. Super super minor complaint though. Also would be nice to have a way to toggle the mic on and off as I use these for meetings and need to mute myself when I'm not talking.

These are stellar headphones. I got them on sale at a great price as I was looking for wireless headphones to use with my PC. I will note, make sure, even if you intend them for PC use, that you first pair them to the app on the phone. There is a setting to set it up on 2 devices. It will make your life much easier and you don't need to touch the app again if you don't want to. But that is where you can adjust the settings in the EQ also. I had issues connecting it to my PC, with audio stutter. Turns out I didn't realize my new PC came with bluetooth on it and the dongle I had for my old PC was causing issues. Once I uninstalled that, it worked perfectly. I've never used the mic on it, as I have an external mic, so I cannot verify that part. The Noise cancelling in my office has been perfect. There was a lot of moving around I pulled these out and couldn't hear that or the calls people were making in meetings. I've not used the touch controls very much, but it seems when you want to adjust sound/skip/go back you need to hold your finger in the center for a moment before swiping in the direction. Worth it if you can grab these on sale without wanting to spent $300+ on headphones or aren't an audiophile.

Have had them for two years now and the padding on the ears is the only thing that has been worn down significantly. The battery still work great and the sound it still amazing.

I love this product. I was considering saving for the WH-1000XM4's, but I wanted a pair of Sony headphones really bad. So I bought these when they were $100 off, and I do not regret it. Great features and sound quality is amazing. Voices are clear, bass is very thumpy, and the volume definitely gets up there. I mainly use them for gaming, listening to music, and watching videos. I have no problems using these for any of these activities. The noise cancelling is mind-blowing. These are my first pairs of ANC Headphones, and I am very impressed. It blocks out taps and clicks and outside voices are barely heard. The feature where you can put your hand over the right earcup and it brings in outside audio I super useful. When someone walks in my room to talk for a second, I can just hold my hand there for the conversation. If it is a little more than just a short convo, i usually turn on the Ambient sound mode for eaiser listening without taking the heaphones off. The build quality is also amazing. The earcup rotation is very nice for when i'm not using them and can hang them around my neck. The hardshell travel case is super, super nice. When i'm done with them, I always put them in the case because if anything happens, they are very safe. Comfort wise, I am very impressed. These fit around my ears perfectly and do not hurt after long periods of time wearing them. When I put them on, I can feel the earcups griping onto my ears not too much, but not to the point where they will fall off my head. This definitely helps play a huge role in the sound quality and noise cancelling. It makes it so much better and just a much more imersive experience. Overall, these are very high-quality headphones. I would recommend them as first-time ANC Headphones if it wasn't for the $248.99 price tag. But if you ever see these at a much lower price and are looking for high-quality, comfortable headphones, these will not disapoint.

4 YEAR UPDATE: still going strong. Had to replace the ear cups since they started to split but it was super easy. Replacement set was under $15. ******* Man do I love these headphones. My Beats Solo3’s needed to be retired so I opted for something higher quality, but I didn’t want to sell a leg for better than average audio. I had high expectations for these and they met almost every single one. I really, really like the noise cancelling. They’re my first pair with it, so I could be flying blind on that statement, but it’s at least miles better than the Beats wireless earbuds. Additionally, these headphones are very comfortable. My ears do still get a bit sore after 6+ hours of wearing, but that’s obviously longer than most people would use them in one go, so it’s probably not necessarily the headphones’ fault. Battery life is also great, as I have to charge maybe once every week or 2 with moderate to heavy use. My only gripes with these have a lot to do with the build quality. Yes, I know, they were $120 on sale so I don’t have too much room to squabble, but the ear cups feel cheaper at times and the entire headset is plastic. I also despise how freely the ear cups rotate sometimes. I wish they could click into place after rotating from the folded position, but we can’t have it all I guess. (Maybe for more money, lol) Overall, these are really solid headphones. I hope these last me a while. These are great for if you really want the XM4’s or XM5’s, but $350 isn’t sounding too lovely to your bank account. That was how I felt, and I’m far from disappointed. Sony baby!!!

I am writing this review after a whole month of use. So do read till the end. I wrote few tips to improve the sound quality too at the end. Pros: 1. Good quality ANC. Completely blocks low frequency noises. 2. Very good sound quality (require little bit of tweaking on Sony app, see my screenshots posted above) 3. Very felixible, good passive noise cancelling through ear cups. 4. Ear cups are of very good quality and can support big stick out ears too. 5. Hard case for travel friendliness and protection. 6. Awesome microphone quality for a bluethooth headphone. Blocks lots of external noises for phone calls. Cons: 1. Less premium plasticy build (although it is very turdy) 2. Default equalizer does not sound great. One must tweak it or atleast use "Bright" equalizer preset mode in sony app. 3. It can not block high frequency noises that well. If you need complete noise cancellation shell out 30k and purchase XM5. Do not look for 30k quality ANC in a 10k headphone. Set your expectations accordind to budget. Tips: 1. For android users out there: Must turn on LDAC on your bluetooth settings. After pairing with this headphone, go to your bluetooth setting in phone settings. Then settings for WH-XB910N. There under the codecs option turn on LDAC. 2. In Sony App DO NOT TURN ON "Connect 2 devices simultaneously" option. It will disable LDAC and sound quality will be degraded. 3. In sony-headphone-app turn on DSEE mode. 4. In sony-headphone-app, for bluetooth connection quality, Choose "Priority on Sound quality" 5. I have put an image of my personal manual equalizer settings. Use that or modify it as your ear likes. If you do not like bass, reduce the clear bass all the way to 0 for phone calls. Save 2 custom equalizer, one for music/movie with bass boost, another for zoom call/video call/regular call with 0 bass. (Thank me later for these tips) These 5 setting tweak will change the music quality drastically. Check my screenshots posted above for guidance. Final verdict: Those who do not tweak these settings they will keep complaining about this headphone. But this is the best 10k I have ever spent on a gadget. S0ny wins hearts.

Fone muito top. Som perfeito com cancelamento de ruído que não deixa passar nada do som do externo. Case bem acabada e bem rígida para proteger o fone lá dentro dele. Sim com graves limpos, som perfeito!!!! Recomendo muito!!!!!!

El sonido es excelente , la latencia con iPhone es casi nula Son muy comodos La cancelación activa y pasiva es demasiado buena, quizas en ambientes demasiado ruidosos como un gimnasio se te filtren algunos sonidos El modo ambiente es muy util La bateria me dura toda la semana, y eso que los uso bastante durante el dia Lo único malo es que la diadema es un poco incomoda para la cabeza despues de unas horas. Edit: despues de un tiempo me acostumbre a la presion de la diadema, y ya no son incomodos en lo absoluto, la bateria le sigue durando toda la semana despues de 7 meses de uso y se cargan en menos de 1 hora Edit 2: despues de poco mas de un año de uso la bateria aun me dura 1 semana usandolos unas 2 horas al dia, a veces mas el material de la esponja que va en las orejas ha empezado a soltar un poco de la piel sintetica y hace que se vean ya desgastados fuera de eso funcionan como si nada, no he tenido ni un solo problema mas, los volvería a comprar sin duda y son una excelente alternativa a los xm4-5 si no quieres gastar tanto

I originally bought the Beats Studio 3 Wireless headphones. Was not impressed to say the least. Bought these instead as Sony's are going to be good quality headphones - just need the extra $$$. Was 100% worth it. I use these as my work-from-home headphones. I use them for 6-8 hours a day. Used for a week so far. What's great about them: - Comfortable fit. They actually fit around my ears (not on top of them like many headphones). - Noise cancellation is decent. Low freq. are gone. Can still hear some talking from my kids, slight piano from downstairs, etc. but overall it's good enough and is way better than without. - I had issues with the Beats Studio3 in that they kept disconnecting from my PC. These Sony's never disconnect and actually have a feature where you can connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time! Very nice feature. The bluetooth range is really far too. I can be anywhere in my house and listen (3 story house with 4 bedrooms). #1 issue though is too much bass. These headphones are known for having too much bass and mids. The good news is that you can adjust the mix by using the Sony Headphones app. The EQ stays adjusted on the headphones too, so you can adjust the EQ then use the headphones on your PC, etc. with the adjusted values. After turning most of the bass down, reducing some mids and boosting the highs these headphones are more than decent. So, if you are an audiophile and need super-accurate sound quality then don't go for these. But if you don't want to fork out like $500CAD on the high-end Sony's, or are in the market for Beats Studio3 Wireless (or that range), then these are awesome. I will be keeping them and keep using as my daily drivers.

One of the biggest problems with i phone you have to go to settings and change the settings to full volume because of some protection settings it sounds really low but after you get it to max its worth it The noise cancellation is good works well like if there is too much noise you will hear some but still it clears mass volume and the product is amazing when if comes to battery like i just charged it for 15 min and it gave me a backup of 10 hours its a nice product for this price But if you need like loud sound like this is loud enough but you need too loud or like more loud go for 1000 series but for daily workout use its good enough works well Got it for 10K
