Sony MDR-XB950AP Premium Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Black

Product Information

So to my dismay it didn’t work on the Playstation 4 because it didn’t turn up on the bluetooth devices. It worked good with my iphone but couldn’t be discovered by MacBook Pro or iPad mini. Hello! I don’t know anything about headphones but my boyfriend really likes this pair and I want to get them for his birthday. He wants to use them when he plays video games on our Xbox. I read in this review something about a bluetooth dongle. Do I need something like that as well for use with the xbox?? Any information or links to what I would need to complete these headphones for xbox gaming use would be great! Thank you in advance! The Sony MDR-XB950AP extra bass headphones contain powerful lightweight 40mm neodymium drivers that produce adeep, balanced sound, even at high volume.Sony combined these drivers with a highly sensitive diaphragm that enables users to turn the headphone volume up louder without needing an amp. The wideband frequency range of 3 Hz to 28 kHz is designed for today’s bass-heavy music. Right now, Bluetooth audio and consoles like the Xbox do not work well together. You may be able to get only the game sound and others speaking to you to be heard through the headphones, but you will not be able to talk to others with it. The only way to get Bluetooth sound with the Xbox ( or any other console ) is to buy some type of Bluetooth audio transmitter. There may be some home theater Receivers that do this, I know there is something from a Company called Saturn that has a device that broadcasts Bluetooth audio, however I’ve not used it.

Sony MDR-XB950N1 Extra Bass Headphones review - TechRadar

Audio 46: Audio-Technica ATH-WS550 Solid Bass Headphones (Use our promo code, “majorhifi” and get a 10% discount) There are sets out there that are much more recessed in the midrange, ones that offer that damned U-shape sound signature that is god awful, so it feels weird to me to hear the XB950BT’s mids and treble walk hand in hand behind the powerful bass. Staging On wired connection on flat EQ, the bass is still powerful and satisfying but I found it incredible that the mids and treble were not lost behind the potent low end. Awesome review. Thank you for this. It’s the only concise and full review I’ve found for these headphones anywhere.Additional Features: Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Bass Boost, Extra Bass, One-touch Listening with NFC, SCMS-T protection, apt-X technology

Ok, my little bass-heads. Let’s get down and dirty with these bassy headphones until we feel our love handles vibrate. We’ll figure out which headphone suits your musical taste and desire for bass in this Sony MDR-XB950 Extra Bass vs Audio-Technica ATH-WS550 Solid Bass Review. Sony MDR-XB950 Extra Bass vs Audio-Technica ATH-WS550 Solid Bass Review FIT Hi Michael, does the microphone only work with the bluetooth? can i use the microphone using 3.5mm cable? Thanks! This is really an eye opener for me. I’ll be more than willing to get a pair for 220 euros, and I saw one selling for 143 US dollars, but it did not ship to germany, so that is a shame. If you’ve had the chance to try out the XB950AP (the wired, cheaper pair), would you consider buying that instead of the XB950BT? It doesn’t feature the bass boost feature and obviously one of the pros is not needing to charge the headphones. I don’t mind the wires personally as they are flat like my XB500’s which have never gotten tangled through my time with them. However they do become worn out over time and it’s not easy to replace when they do. As well as the general convenience of wireless BT headphones, I don’t get the luxury of connecting the XB950AP’s to my PS4/PS3 via Bluetooth which I never thought of doing until you mentioned the BT’s as being amazing gaming headphones. As a big gamer this is a brilliant thought to entertain and something I could find myself doing. Especially since they include a build-in mic. The headphone comes with a 1.3 meter 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable for wired use, as well as a typical micro USB cable for charging. Sadly, no USB Bluetooth dongle for PC usage was included.

The Sony MDR-XB950BT has impressive audio quality, but it's brought down by outdated style and overpowering optional bass.

This is my first BT headphone, currently used with Huawei P9. I am also considering buying a good aptX enabled dongle – if there is such a thing – for my PC, to free myself of the cable. They actually make another much more expensive model, the Freq 9, surround sound, noise cancelling. No idea how good they sound for music. But for that money I would rather buy the Plantronics. Once people use Bluetooth headphones they do not want anymore cables. The Sony reacts to bass EQ phenomenally well. Not so much in the mids or treble, which generally stay the same with moderate tweaking. The bass however can be dropped to make the headphone more linear, or even boosted for even more bass…which is crazy and shouldn’t be done. But, it is responsive via the wired connection, it dips to 3hz. BT stays at 20-20 sadly. No need to burn in, just enjoy. Im not a firm believer in the product burning in, I believe its our brain that burns in. While some headphone companies try to minimize the number of buttons on their headphones, Sony crammed as many buttons and controls onto the headphone as possible.
