Sony MDR-XB950AP Premium Xtra Bass Overhead Headphones - Black

Product Information

The Sony MDR-XB950BT headphones have an uncannily pleasant ability to replicate that gut sensation of a live performance, but they also have an uncanny ability to capture live audio, often to ill effect. I am talking a lot on TS3 so it would be nice to be able to listen quietly to music, talking with my friends while I need to go to check something in the kitchen or something. The ATH Pro700 MK2 has hard hitting bass, the Sony 950 BT has extremely weighted bass with out harsh impact. Via the BT enabled Bass Booster, the slam effect increases quite a bit but its still not overly slamming. If there's any kind of sincere nuance in your music's bass, you'd better make like the Fatback Band and keep on steppin' .

I no longer have it, but truthfully I don’t think the raw quality was that much inferior to the 950. I'd heard a lot of complaints about the modern XBs, and unfortunately they seem to be correct, judging by the XB950AP/H. Pairing via NFC, which allows you to play music by touching your phone to the headphones, proved slightly more difficult, but only because I was unfamiliar with the protocol.While quite a few of the XB series sport garish colour combinations, the XB950AP/H is a mixture of gunmetal and matte grey, and has a fairly refined sensibility. Hi, i’m trying to use these headphones on my PC to listen and talk (with mumble and TS) but when I put the mic ON it results in a terrible sound I hear except if i’m really close to the bluetooth receiver included in my motherboard (P8P67 pro from Asus).

I can’t think of any good clinical portables off the top of my head outside of that 1350, but that is an on ear. If you like what the MDR-XB950AP headphones have to offer but would really like the freedom of wireless connectivity then you’ve got to take a look at the Sony MDR-XB950BT wireless headphones. Starting off with a very potent bass, to begin with, the Booster function ups it to silly levels…too much actually…but damned if it isn’t extremely fun. I mean if somebody putting this much amount of money, at that point ones hoping for better form quality.The bass is so delicious in gaming soundscape that I am not interested in using anything else, as it is a “Thing” in my gaming that I’ve neglected for years. It is extremely enjoyable for me and I never wince, squint my eyes or blink when there is too much bass happening. Sony is a little more subdued in its style, but I’ll let you decide which one works best with your outfit. With the bass effect cranked all the way up, we felt bass in a visceral way but was fatigued by the sound after several minutes.
