Hound Life Vlogs I'm glad I didn't get them before, I just wanted something different and I like this color! I was thinking of these or skullcandy crushers
hear those are insanely good. Especially the bass. I've seen reviewers compare the Sony to Crushers and it seems the Skullcandy's are better in that department, but I guess it depends on what you want :) enjoy whatever you get!
Era Gaming_2016 and I'm sure you've tried them out. they are built better than the 950bt by a long shot. in fact, the 950bt has had a huge swivel problem where it breaks alot but I'm sure you knew that
I bought a pair of these last year from your recommendation and I've never been more happy. To this day, I haven't found any headphones I like more than these. Thank you man. I'm really excited that the newer model is coming out! Thanks for letting us know!! Definitely getting em when they come out!
Great review of the new model and feeling the love for the XB950BT. I picked them up last holiday season for $90 and will not be looking back. Treating them tenderly because they're not foldable, so good on you for upgrading!
Relieved! I have only just bought the 950BT and I love them. Not overly fussed about Noise Cancellation or folding design if that is the only improvements. Great hands on!
I just got these today and my god are they AMAZING!! I like how they fold up now. And the noise cancellation is a great added feature. I had the best buy replacement warranty on my old Xb950bt and took them back and paid the rest. Man, im telling everyone out there: any tech you plan to buy under 500, get it from Best Buy and buy that warranty. Its incredible and worth it in so many ways.
I'm just gonna pick up the older model. I found it for 75 bucks refurbished. I don't really care about the foldable design, as well as the noise cancelation.
Good on you for acknowledging the subscriber who alerted you to these headphones. Too many You Tubers don't do this and I'm less inclined to suggest things because of this.
I have had my 950bt's for about a year now, they just fell off my head yesterday onto carpet and one of the ears popped off the swivel. Only way to fix it was to superglue it. Can't on that side now obviously. Super disappointed that they were so fragile.
I'm so hyped for these headphones, I've been using the original XB950BTs pretty much since they came out now! Will be purchasing these in the UK as soon as they are released
+dollarbill125 Now that you mention it, I believe you can! The ones I used were wired and I had access to the bass button. Probably because you can power them on now while wired for that active noise cancelling.
dollarbill125 well the old models were pretty much on bass boost all the time on wired since the on wired connection the headphones go on 3hz - 28khz compared to wireless connection going 20hz to 20,000khz
Have had the 950bt for over a year and I love them, and the fact they drop down to under $100 on sale is insane. Just recently upgraded to the 1000x as my taste in music changed from only caring about bass to wanting more clarity and over high quality sound, and have been loving those as well. Still go back and fourth between the 2 depending on my mood and music. Love Sony headphones 👌🏼
Great review. Thanks in part of your previous review, I picked up the XB950BTs, which are GREAT. Do you feel that these new headphones are worth the upgrade?
How do you think the noise canceling matches up the Sony 100ABNs? (H.ear on wireless). I used to have a pair of 950bts and I really want another pair. This is perfect timing on Sony's part but I'm just curious how it compares with Sony's high quality products.
Its cool; when you turn on or off the noise cancellation, theres a female voice that cuts in and tells you if youre turning it off or on so you can easily tell. Man, i almost got the MDR 1000x because these were hidden in the back. But they found them. Im glad. I didnt really want to spend 399.99. The 1000x do look dope tho
Had the XB950BT, great for bass orientated genres. If you reduce the bass drastically, you were able to listen to more acoustic music. The drivers are actually pretty high-quality in these. Really fun headphones, great to see Sony add some built in DSP EQ. I use a pair of MDR-7520s which if you need something more studio orientated and much more detailed are top.
Are the N1's exactly the same BASS and powerful volume of the B1's, beacause N1's button says BASS EFFECT and the B1's says BASS BOOST, Is it different?
Does this new headphone able use extra bass when plug 3.5 mm to phone bec i did last year bought mdr xb950bt bluetooth work with button bass extra boost but not 3.5 mm so I return it
UrAvgCustomer I currently have the older model of these headphones, but Ive been looking for some noise canceling headphones with a lot of bass. Do you think I should get these, or look for another pair?
Having a set of Bluetooth headphones is definitely in my future. I like the the idea of great bass, but I'm not a big fan of the size that is apparently required to produce good quality bass.
Yo man first off I just want to say good job on all of the vids lately and I was just wondering what would you recommend doing in the following situation. I broke my 950bt's a month agon but right now their being held up by duct tape, would you recommend trying to replace or fix them or would you recommend me waiting till maybe august to get these?
Super big fan buddy ... just wanna wish you all the best for 2017 and can't wait to see you hit 1 million subs... you're the reason I have so much gadgets at my place now lol... actually just bought the Sony and did an unboxing video myself
Hey consumer. Huge fan of ur reviews bro. I was planning to buy sony headphone specifically from the 950 family but now i am confused which one to buy either the 950 ap or 950 b1. I tested both of the headphones sounds and found that the wired connection was much better than the bluetooth. But still bro need help pls suggest..as early as possible..
Glad I looked up the video first. I use NC quite a bit and already own the Sony Hear On Wireless headphones and wanted something with bass too. Started seeing the MDRXB950BT on eBay for $65 but decided it was worth spending $100 to get NC
Great Review, I really like these headphones but much like you pointed out the price is a little high and I think you're right that waiting until the price comes down to a least $150.00 before you consider making a purchase. These are great headphones and your overview was great as usual.
I love the XB950BTs! I considered a couple of Bose and some Beats and these were the best balance. Caught them at Best Buy just before Black Friday for $89.
since mine was broke on right driver with no warrnty anymore, i modded/converted it into small DAC, and Bluetooth receiver for heavy bass on my new headphone..
I have the MDR-XB500 for about four years now (great pair of headphones) but when the time comes to replace them I'm solely thinking of the 950bt's so the upgrades are welcomed
