Hey there, I was planning on buying either the Sony MDR-XB950’s, or the Audio Technica ATH M50x, or the Marshall Major II, or Sennheiser Momentum. Which would you recommend for listening to different genres and not only bass heavy genres like EDM, Dubstep, Club, etc. 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.

However, the 950BT will pair with any device that is Bluetooth enabled if you just want to use it as normal headphones without the microphone. I hear rumors of some people making some type of mod that enables the microphone and the audio through the headphones to work at the same time, but that will be for PC usage only. You would think Sony would make sure the SONY Playstations or devices made by Sony would work with the 950BT’s mic, but they dont. Lol. Si te gusta escuchar música fuerte y olvidarte del sonido exterior, esta es la compra que buscas. Muy buena la calidad de sonido, el volumen puede subirse muchísimo lo cual me gustó ya que la mayoría de auriculares comunes o de precios menores tienen un límite que deja mucho que desear. Los audífonos son súper cómodos, yo uso lentes y me quedaron perfectos, no me lastiman los oídos aún después de una jornada larga. 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. My first issue is that when i walk, i can hear a slight rattle in the right speaker with each step. I have no idea what the issue is, but it sure is annoying.Hi! The mic does not work with Bluetooth unless its through a cellular phone. Sadly, Sony never made good on their promise to include BT mic support on consoles for gaming and other devices. If you want a BT headphone with nutty bass quantity and good bass quality…there is nothing else out there that will make you happy except this that I am aware of. Only if you press the Bass Boost button when you are using BT, that makes the headphone sound worlds different than with a cable > source. Direct cable connection disables the Bass Boost button, so you can only use it while BT is active. Can’t really detect a difference in treble, mids or staging between BT and wired connection, which impressed me a ton when I wrote the review and still does. 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. Whilst they are not the most expensive product on the market these days, I must say the build quality is surprisingly good. Functionality

Despite being very comfortable, my ears do sweat a bit after about an hour of usage. I am also not fond of the included cable, it is very cheap but I am very thankful it isn’t a proprietary cable that nothing else can be used to replace it. I’d have preferred a better cable than this and will probably try to upgrade soon. I’ve found the included cable to be too thin, also too prone to cold weather.The audio is very nice, rich bass, audio cancellation is fine, I have Bose QC20 to compare to, maybe not as good as QC20 but very reasonable. Staging properties, in general, are not lost between wired and Bluetooth enabled listening, however, the treble seems more solid and clean via the wired connection with a good source quality. 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!

Sony MDR-XB950BT Review — Headfonics

I hate to say this but it does not work with the PS4 and I don’t know why!! I only knew after buying it and the salesman told me it works and when I came the next day he denied saying it works with the PS4!! and they don’t have return agreement -__-

Now on to a few issues i have with the product. To preface this, i have owned my headphones for just over a month, and i treat them well. Tough call there, Alex. Depends on what you are looking for. If you want something wireless and very bassy, something portable and small, then the Sony is the way to go. If you want something larger and a bit less bass heavy, the M50x is probably the better option. I can consider both well within the realm of similar quality. COMFORT: oh my god, SO comfortable! I have glasses, and most headphones hurt my ears. This one is super comfortable, I can wear it for many hours while gyming, studying, and walking to class. Of course, it can get a bit warm/sweaty when worn for a long time (good for the cold). I only have a blue tooth keyboard on my desktop. I dont have any blue tooth devices on my laptop. My BT is internal on both. It only connects to my Mac Desktop. I don’t have any non-apple devices.
