Review: The Sweet Spot for Excellent Gaming & Music (Detailed Review) - Over the course of a month of testing, I purchased this along with five other popular/high-end headsets: Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless, Skullcandy Crusher Wireless, SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, Beyerdynamic MMX 300 2nd Generation, and Sony XB550AP (at the bottom of this review I compare the Sony XB950N1 against those five products). After a long and arduous experience of trying everything out, I can say with confidence that I love this headset and it achieves the best sweet spot for those who want to both game and listen to music. When I'm doing competitive gaming I connect a V-MODA BoomPro Mic (picture attached) so that I can use a mic and have perfect 0-latency sound. It turns this fantastic headphone into a fantastic gaming headset. IMPORTANT NOTE: when you first plug the wired connection in, the headset always turns itself off by default. Yeah, it'll work fine that way, but you lose the extra bass and noise reduction. But guess what? If you just turn the headset on again it enables the extra bass and noise reduction WHILE WIRED! Maybe this is obvious to some people, but it was a total revelation for me. It was a literal game-changer. I listen to everything from orchestral/vocal tracks to hard rock and dubstep. I play games with rocket launchers but I also need to hear quiet footsteps in the distance. I want high-fidelity sound quality with good clarity but I ALSO want to have high amounts of bass. I want amazing sound but was NOT looking for the bland "neutral" EQ that sound producers and audiophile purists consider perfect. I can understand why they want that perfectly faithful precision, but I wanted a headset that brought the thunder with extra oomph without sacrificing sound quality. With the extra bass feature turned on the XB950N1 puts out nice deep SOLID bass that doesn't distort the rest of the frequency response. The headset has no problem putting out subwoofer-quality bass that vibrates your ears. It doesn't struggle at this or need "encouragement" from 3rd party EQ settings - it's what it was designed for and it does its job extremely well. Most importantly, it does this without losing the high end or letting bass spill into the mid-range which causes a muddy sound. It does indeed bring the thunder without sacrifice. It's the only headset out of all the headsets I've tried where I can honestly say I took it out of the box, turned it on and it just had the perfect stock EQ. I can listen on my PC or cell phone and songs sound exactly the same with zero effort needed. No fiddling with settings, just play and enjoy. For those who are less of bass-addicts, you can always install the phone app and reduce how much extra bass the headphone delivers or even set it to reduce bass. The noise cancellation is a really nice perk. I didn't realize how much noise the air conditioning and cars driving past the house made until I disabled the feature (it's on by default) and suddenly heard all that white noise. I quickly enabled it again. With this feature on, the quiet moments in games are dead silent, making it easy to hear the softest of footsteps and just improving the overall immersion in music. I can only imagine how useful this will be at the airport. I've heard from other reviewers that the noise reduction is about 90% as good as the noise reduction on the WH-1000XM3. COMPARED TO COMPETITORS: Skullcandy Crusher Wireless: technically has heavier bass at its max bass setting, but if you crank it up it does so at the expense of bleeding into the mids and suffocating the highs to the point that it sounds like you're in the bathroom of a concert rather than out on the stage. The headset sounds great with the bass slider at around 50%, but also is the most uncomfortable headset I have ever in my life worn. It felt like putting a steel bear trap on my head from how much it clenched into my jaw muscles. I'm 160 pounds, 5'10", so pretty average body, pretty normal head I'd say. Not sure why it hurt so dang much but wow. Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless: Felt great, had a nice loose fit with breathable mesh. Has good wireless range. Didn't have NEARLY enough bass, not even close to enough, no matter what I tried. It has a really nice mic, but I'm leaving a short review on this comparison because not having bass is an immediate no-go from me. Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation): This is a really expensive wired-only headset that retails at $450. And yeah, of course it sounds good. In fact, it sounds perfectly faithful, which is to say, it has that neutral frequency response. Instead of thundering bass, you just get regular bass. You don't get "larger than life"... you just get "life". You can use an EQ to crank the bass up and make it sound boomy but it feels like a struggle against what the headset wants to do. Even when I had everything set for hard bass I don't think it had a blend that sounded as nice as the XB950N1. This isn't the fault of the headset, it's just the case of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: Man. I reallllllly love the wireless tech on this thing. It has a really snazzy base unit that has a LCD to control the EQ, sidetone, etc. Makes it easy to connect to PS4, PC and phone at the same time, has great range, feels comfortable, has a cool dual-battery feature so you never run out of juice. But.... the bass, it's just like the Corsair Void Pro... it isn't nearly enough. The drivers just aren't made to put out heavy bass, even with the EQ set to max bass it's pitiful compared to the XB950N1. It's a shame, cause I love everything else about the headset. Sony XB550AP: This is the wired version of Sony's extra bass headphones. So for someone like me who games wired you'd think it'd be a no-brainer right? Well no, first of all cause I like being able to just pick up my phone and jam out without dragging clunky cords around. I don't care how I look in the privacy of my gaming room but I DO like looking decent in public, lol. Second, with the power on and the extra bass effect turned on the XB950N1 puts out noticeably better bass than the XB550AP which lacks the feature. The XB500AP is a fine headset, and if you fine-tune the EQ you can get very close to the XB950N1. However, the XB950N1 still takes 1st place especially with the bluetooth and noise reduction built in. FINAL WORD: I researched for days and bought/tested/returned way more headphones than I ever wanted to in search of perfection. This headphone becomes a perfect wired gaming headset when combined with a V-MODA BoomPro (you could also use an Antlion ModMic) and also operates perfectly in bluetooth mode for music listening or if you prefer to game that way. Be aware you can't use the built-in mic while gaming over bluetooth, it's just for taking phone calls with (this is a limitation of bluetooth) so you'll need a separate mic. However, if you want high-quality thunderous bass + crisp & clean audio, the ability to go wireless on your phone and wired while gaming, this thing is an absolute beast. Just remember to power up the headphones AFTER plugging in the wire, that way it stays powered up and gives you the extra bass :)
Review: I use these headphones everyday and I love them. - I am writing this review after having these headphones for over a year but below two years: How I use these headphones: I only use these headphones at home and honestly they haven't gone out at all. I use them to connect with my iPhone 8 with Bluetooth when I listen to music or stream videos on Netflix or something related. I also use them when I play music like my electric guitar. I like to filter out outside noise and just listen to what is coming out of my guitar. Product: You get the headphones, a charging USB that is really short, and another wire that you can connect to the headphones to a standard headphone jack plug. You have the option to customize the length. These headphones DO NOT bend. The headphones have the option to remove or allow the noise cancelling effect through a button on the side. The same thing for the bass effect, you can remove it or allow it through a button on the same side. There is also a power button on the headphones. You can also find two buttons to turn up and down the volume. Finally, another button that allows you to fast forward or backtrack if you are listening to music. Noise cancellation: The noise cancellation is really great, but it doesn't completely cancel everything around you. I would say any noise coming from farther than 5 feet is cancelled out. Anything else you could probably hear but very very low to the point that it might not be a distraction, depending on the volume of the source. Honestly, if you have something playing on your headphones, you probably won't even notice it. Like I said, it is really great and sucks you in. Headphones cushion: The cushion of the headphones is great and doesn't hurt my ears at all. It also fits so that it covers your ear, and doesn't sit on top of your ear. My only problem with it is that they are really bulky. They really do stick out from my head compared to Bose headphones which may feel more natural on your head. Connectivity: Always connects to my iPhone 8 without a problem. It automatically connects and always tells you battery life when you connect to it. Depending on the Bluetooth technology on your device, I am able to leave my phone in my room, and take my headphones over to the kitchen or any part of my house and I don't lose connection. Battery: They last a long time. I use them daily. I go a couple of days (like 3-5) without charging them until I need to recharge them. This is also because I turn them off when I don't use them anymore. So unless you keep them on without using them, it might last shorter for you. The charging time takes a while if you want to charge it to full. I've had to keep them charging for a few hours (maybe 3-4) to get a full charge. ALSO keep in mind, if you use the headphones with the headphones jack, it does not use battery life. Only when you use Bluetooth. Little side note: There is an app, you can download and change some settings like EQ. Honestly, don't use this app at all. But just an FYI. You might want to buy a case to store them, you wouldn't want the cushion to go bad. Mine are still intact and perfectly fine after a year of use. You might have to buy a longer charger cord, since the one they give you is only like the length of a 12 inch ruler. Honestly, I love these headphones. Quality of sound is great with bass effect or without the bass effect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Circum-aural / Around ear" headphones with amazing noise cancellation!
*by I***C on November 28, 2017*

I got them today at work, connected them via NFC in a second & started walking as the music started playing automatically from my Google Pixel 2 phone. I was coming home via New York subway. And.. I came home 20 mins late. Why? Cause I missed my subway station for the first time in my NY life because of these headphones!!! Seriously?! FIT: Million dollar question. Searched a lot about this before ordering it. YES, they are "Circum-aural" (as stated in the packaging). My ears (2.5" by 1.5") seats completely inside the ear pad with little more space. Ear pad cutout is longitudinal. Padding is VERY thick, but soft and squishy (for passive noise cancellation of course). Build quality: Felt very high quality plastic to me. But, I would not drop them. I feel like it will brake, if drop them. Sound quality: Not an audiophile but neither a amateur. I like the way they sound, And I leave the "Extra Bass" on. Bass is punchy, I use extra bass with surround effect in the app, so that it doesn't feel too much. UPDATE after a week: I'm listening with "Extra Bass" off & loving Sony's different surround sound mode in the app (eg. arena, outdoor stage, concert hall etc). It sounds soooo good. Even if you think they are bass heavy, you can set bass level up to -10 (negative 10). Thats gonna cancel out the bass completely. BUT, if you wanna go all the way for the best quality, connect the headphone with the cable + turn it on, you'll get the best out of the headphone. Probably you'll need a decent amplifier to drive these headphone to its peak 47 ohm impedance (with cable connected + turned on)!!! Thats super impressive. Volume is so high & sound is so crisp when its connected via cable + turned on, I couldn't raise my HP laptop (with beats audio) volume past 54! Noise cancelling: AMAZING! Turn the headphone on & wear them, you'be in another world (even without the music)! It is on par with Bose Quitcomfort (which are overhyped & over rated). When music is on (even at 50%) with noise cancellation on, you would not hear 95% of your surroundings. Disclaimer: Noise cancellation doesn't mean COMPLETE noise cancellation, its more like noise isolation. Comfort: Well, because of the padding, ears can get warm after prolonged period of time. Other than that, I would mark them 4.5 out of 5 for comfort. UPDATE after a week: At they felt little tight, but now they feel very comfortable because of the super soft ear pads. Battery life: UPDATED on 12/06/17: I charged it fully only once & I use them on my way to work & to home (5 days a week). So thats about an hour & half of listening with noise cancellation on. And now, I about 70% battery left on them! Thats incredible. CONs: *Packaging is not that good for this price. *No hard carrying case! *Little less comfortable than Bose Quitcomfort. *Sony should step up there game on build quality department. They feel & look like premium PLASTIC from Sony. But at the end of the day, they are plastic, not very durable. Overall, I'm in love with these. They are amazing headphones, I would highly recommend them!!
