Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ds4 Dualshock controller I'm very mad. I was looking to file a claim on my product but i can't because you guys don't have the model number for my controller in your model number settings. Ive been at this for hours. Can't talk to anyone so i had to just select the wrong item to continue. I need my ps4 Dualshock controller replaced it is not working correctly. ! Y'all site is horrible. Its to difficult to get around without getting the run around. Now i hope you guys look at my receipt and figure it out. Because y'all site made me do this. I want another controller asap please. Just look at my receipt and you try to find the model number because i can't!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sony XB059N1 The biggest selling point about these headphones is in the title. The extra bass! There's definitely plenty of it to go around. The bass isn't over the top and obnoxious like the Skullcandy Crushers but more sculpted, defined, and packing a punch. If it's too much for you, you can use the app to adjust it to your liking, or press the Bass Effect button on the side to turn it off completely. If your looking for bass heavy cans, these will do you justice. The bass doesn't muddy up the other frequencies either. The mids and highs come in clear and your left with a clear, punchy, and 'fun' sound. Sound quality for me is great and listening to the music with these headphones is an overall enjoyable experience. However, the sound stage is a bit lacking compared to other headphones at this price point. You'll still be able to pick out instruments and locations, the distance between them isn't as wide as they could be though. It's a picky comment, but if your a picky person it deserves mentioning. These headphones are huge! Many reviewers state that you'll be able to see these guys in your peripherals and they're not entirely wrong. After the first couple of minutes though you barely notice them and its not even a problem. The pads themselves are pretty big as well but super comfortable. I have had listening sessions last for hours without the need for adjustment and wearing them in the gym didn't cause any overheating issues for me. I had no experience with ear fatigue, and that achy feeling around the jaw you get with some headphones was never present. They are made mostly with plastic, but feel very well made and I feel confident these won't break anytime soon under typical usage. The only complaint I have on the build isn't about the headphones themselves, but the case (or lack thereof) that comes with it. A cloth carrying pouch is included which is nice, but won't protect your investment if your throwing them in your gym bag or school bag. The buttons and the usage of said buttons are amazing. On the left ear cup you have the ability to turn the headphones on or off, as well as the Bass Effect, and the Noise Cancellation. On the right ear cup, you have a stick out button for playing and pausing, as well as pushing that button upwards for the next track or pushing the button downwards for the previous track. Bellow that button is the volume rocker. All these buttons, once your use to their locations, are easy to find, easy to use, and add to the enjoyable experience of these headphones. Once connected to the app, you can do one of two things. You can toggle the bass to your desired bass level, and turn the noise cancellation on or off. The noise cancellation works, not as well as the 1000x/MKII, but not as bad as some of the competition, like the Beats Studio 3's. The pads are big enough to cause a good amount of noise isolation and with the cancellation turned on, everything turns into a soft muffle. You aren't left entirely in a shell, but the surrounding sounds become quite difficult to make out. Once the music is turned on, that's all you'll be able to hear. Also, these guys get incredibly loud. The XB950N1 at 50% volume is everything elses 75-80% volume. Overall, I love these headphones. They are very comfortable and the sound signature is very "fun" and very punchy. The build quality is great and the button placements couldn't be better. If your a bass head or looking for a pair of headphones to steal you away to the music, these guys will not disappoint. However, if your more of an audiophile who needs to have the sound as neutral as possible, look elsewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stunning Headset! I just recently purchased these headphones to replace my Beats Studio 2.0 wired headphones and I must say, these are an improvement! The Extra Bass feature is phenomenal, as well as all the features such as the noise cancelling feature, play/stop/skip/reverse buttons, and so on. For a headset of this price, I think these are at the top.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The good and bad Great sound and great noise cancellation. That would give this product 5 stars. In less than one year the plastic holding the swivel ear cup cracked. Its only a matter of time till it falls off and the headphones are not usable. Life span of the headphones less than one year...unacceptable. Was going to get a Sony UHDTV but that is unlikely now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Headphones if you take care of them. I bought these a few months back and like them alot took a few years off buying sony products can't remember why. Anyway noise cancellation is quite good considering these are marketed towards heavy bass users, comfortable for hours of listening and the extra bass is there for any bass lover. However wouldn't recommend if you don't like a lot of bass or are hard or ruff on your headphones as there have been complaints of failure at the joints mine however show no signs of fatigue in this area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The bass!!!!! I've had these for a week and I keep looking for any reason to keep using them. The sound is amazing. The bass is insane. I thought I was a bass head but I had to tone it down it's too much. Lol this is a great pair of headphones. I upgraded in quality from a pair of beats studios but price wise I paid almost 50 percent less with these MDR's. Last thing the earcups are very soft and comfortable and can be worn for awhile without discomfort. I'm extremely happy with my purchase

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice sound, noise cancellation feature so so Sound is pretty good, but noise cancellation not that great. Biggest complaint though is that it is not comfortable to wear around the neck when not listening. It is very tight and does not give you any room making it very uncomfortable to wear as it keepspressing around your neck.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good bluetooth, terrible, cheap 3.5 connection Firstly, the audio, when it works, is great. The headphone jack however, is incredibly cheap, it must have cost Sony 2 cents per unit. It does not hold onto the cable properly and busts quickly. My first pair was going strong for about 1.5 months before the audio stopped working through the headphone jack. The audio was barely audible. I got to use the replacement pair only once, the headphone jack NEVER worked properly. The midrange audio or something was not working, no voices were coming through. At this price, Sony should provide proper hardware. This experience has severely tarnished my view of Sony, I can no longer rely on their name for quality products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Headphones work great but build quality is poor I purchased these headphones late last year and didn't begin using them until January of this year casually in my office. The noise canceling and wireless connection works great. Battery life is also great however they have recently cracked near the left ear piece. after minimal casual use. I am now outside of my 90 day replacement warrenty so I am stuck with broken headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not compatible with TV Bought this last week to attach via bluetooth to our new sony tv. The headphones distorted tv sound so that one could not listen to the headphones and the TV simultaneously. We tried all tv adjustments. Had to return headphones. Recos depend on intended use. Not with bluetooth tv connection. Otherwise, sound was great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love Sony wireless headphones but.... I may have big ears but the ear muffs do not fit my entire ear and is uncomfortable. Are there any suggestions for more comfort or a larger size?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing BASS I have had these for about 3 days now and don’t even compare to the Dre Beats I once had. The bass on these bad boys will knock your socks off. I passed these around work and I just watched everybody’s mouths drop after playing some rap/dubstep songs. These headphones were made for those genres. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a durable headphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Headphones ever!! Really happy with my purchase, I bought this Sony headphones and a JBL headphones, both were around same price, but there is no match for my SONY headphones, the Extra bass provided by is excellent for Music, Movies and all the places you can connect your headphones, the buttons are really easy to use and have all the functions you need, the app is really good too. Really impress with the quality, for now on Sony is the brand I want for headphones!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the Price the sound quality is as good as it gets, the bass boosting feature is awesome when you really wanna feel that bass power, noise cancelling is amazing and a must have if you're trying to immerse yourself in games or movies, and the design is simple and aesthetically pleasing, and the padding is super comfortable on the head. I also love using these when I workout because they connect to my phone with Bluetooth and the fact that they are wireless means no stupid hassle with cords like most headphones. I am 100% satisfied with these, I honestly couldn't have picked a better headphone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Headphones The MRD-XB9500N1 suck and will not link to my phone after about a month of use. I wouldn’t suggest these things to anyone and I really want my money back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Clear Hopefully the drivers hold up to the high proficiency coming out of the box. Very impressive sound. My only upgrade would be to have more clear highs for rock genre. Bass is nice and not inner ear tingling like competitors "high bass" claims.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love these headphones These headphones are awesome!! The sound quality, the bass, & the noise cancelling are great!! While the battery life is already really good, I wish they lasted 30-40 hours if possible, and I wish they were available in blue like other Sony headphones because I would get them in blue instead of the black ones I have right now. And, I wish the cable that comes in the box included an in-line remote & mic with playback controls for the wired mode. But other than that these are a great pair of headphones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GET THESE NOW! I just bought these yesterday and I have to say I am impressed. I have gone through some headphones in the past including skullcandys crushers and bose sound link and theres no comparison. Sony really set the standard for noise canceling and superior sound quality. Will definately buy another pair but maybe the next tier up the 1000X. I recommend these to anyone looking for great sound and loves bass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome sound and noise cancelling I really didn't expect the noise cancelling to be as effective as they have proved to be. Of course they do not block all ambient noise but you can still enjoy the extra bass and clearly hear music and voice audio even in a very noisy environment. You know the noise is there but it is so limited and the sound is so good you tune it out and all this is at a low to medium volume. Fit is great and battery life is excellent. Use it with my STR-DN1080, Samsung tablet and Galaxy S8 and have never had a dropout. The only complaint is the low battery warning will disconnect after a few minutes but 15 minutes on a charger will get you going for a couple more hours. So not a big deal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loved headphones, but broke in less than a month. I bought them less than a month ago and plastic broke that holds the ear muff. I never traveled with the headphones only used them at my desk. Sound was good for the price, app was easy to use. Loved them till they broke. But cannot recommend them due to lack of durability.
