Review: The headphones sound great and Sony unexpectedly resolved an issue I had given up on. Kudos, Sony! - UPDATE 6/19/18: Out of the blue, I received a friendly email from Sony telling me they have decided to replace my son's defective headphones, which we received today! We're thrilled because we thought this was a dead issue. Therefore, my review has gone from one star to five. Thank you, Sony! Got these for my son for his birthday 5 months ago. A couple of weeks ago, the right side fell off, held together only be a wire. Upon closer inspection, a small plastic ring inside the "swivel," (which is what normally holds it together) was broken. That's when I looked the product up on desertcart to see if anyone else had had this issue and sure enough, there were people who had this and other issues with these phones. Underneath each negative review, there was a reply from "Sony Social Support." They apologized and offered their email address so they could help people out, so rather than leave a negative review, I contacted them, attaching my receipt and a photo of the broken headphones. Eventually, I received this reply: "Thank you for reaching out to us first. Please contact our support team once you have the time at 1-800-222-7669 (9am to 12mn EST) and have the receipt ready. Our support team are the ones authorized to process any replacement/repairs. At this point, I can’t promise that it will be replaced automatically as they will still review or request additional pictures from you but I strongly advise that you make the call. Best regards, Mark Sony Social Media" After following Mark's advice, I contacted Sony Support, only to be told that the warranty doesn't cover this issue. Then I remembered that I also purchased the additional protection of a Square Trade Protection Plan. Called them and they said that since it didn't sound like "normal wear and tear," they didn't cover it either, although they did refund the $10 I paid for the plan. I desperately called around the repair shops near me but nobody handled the casing. I then attempted to repair it myself. I'm normally pretty good at fixing stuff but this would require a replacement part, which I actually bought online. It came with no instructions and there is no obvious way to execute the repair, without spending many, many hours.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these bee worn when working out? Will the sweat mess them up?**
A: I wore these headphones in the gym everyday in the gym on deployment with ZERO issues. I finally broke them (my fault) after almost 2 years of heavy use. These are great for the gym. Just wipe out the sweat at the end of the workout and you'll be fine

**Q: Is the bass adjustable from -10 to +10 on the B1 as it is on the N1 through the app?**
A: Yes Brian you can I have had these headphones from the year before last’ November and I Use mine all of the time for watching movies YouTube etc and it has from -10 up to 10 plus bass and when u put it to that u click bass effect on headset and will put it to whatever bass amount you set it too

**Q: Do these headphones get your ears very warm or are they able to breath?**
A: Ears get very warm. Not wearable for me in the summer. But I still love them as awesome quality headphone. I have ear buds I wear in the summer. Not as great quality but I’m not overheating during commute.

**Q: Do these fold in like the N1s?**
A: don't know about the N1s, sorry, but they fold sorta flat - ie they fold across to thickness of ear piece - so, not very small, but 'flat'

Love this headset best they ever made hard to find when you do the price is heavy for refurbished but still the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic! Great job Sony!!!
*by A***R on September 22, 2018*

After trying both of the XB950N1 and the ch700n’s in store I decided I liked the xtra bass a lot more so I waited for them to go on sale. Needless to say I wasn’t willing to spend $249 on a set of noise canceling headphones, when the exact copy of them without noise canceling is less than $100. Instead of waiting for a sale however, I went ahead and ordered the non-noise canceling version, and I could not be happier. These are fantastic quality and the noise canceling is not missed. I mostly use these when listening to music while others are in the same room watching TV, or while watching movies in bed paired to an I pad. Frequency response is just as good as the 700n’s in my opinion, albeit overall the 700n’s are a little brighter if that makes sense, and wow the bass can really rattle your brain with the right song. Everything I ever wanted in a wireless headset. Finally, the battery life is incredible. I have used them for approximately two months now and they get used on average three times a week for 1-2 hours at a time. They have only been charged once and are just now getting to the point where they need to be recharged. Doing the math that’s approximately 30-32 hours! Wow, just wow! I am sure there are better sets out there for triple or quadruple the price, but for the average every day user these are amazing. If you’re on the fence, just do it!
