Sony MDR XB950N1 Headphones Review & Noise cancellation test

2017-12-12
hey what's up tube Willington here and welcome to this video today we're going to be taking a close look at sony's XB 950 and one headphones we will be checking out all its features we'll be doing a sound or noise cancellation test and I will also let you listen to it so you can kind of get a feel of how they sound like so you can kind of make an informed decision in case you're planning on picking up this for that and more stay tuned so these are over ear headphones they come with a storage pouch and micro USB cord and audio cable and the paperwork stuff they are mostly plastic with a metal headband for added durability and flexibility and they future a foldable design for portability the design of the headphones is not bad depending on who you ask but they are definitely on the bulky side depending on how often you rest your headphones around your neck this might be an uncomfortable experience but over your ears over your head they are pretty comfortable I would say more comfortable than sin Isis 450s the ear cups are covered with synthetic leather and they are really really soft they are not the widest but they are wide enough for a comfortable experience for most ears they might feel a little bit tight when you first put them on but after a few minutes you start getting used to them the headband also has some cushion here and to some people that might mean more comfort but I said to some people because for me as long as there's something there and it's not bare metal or bare plastic I usually don't really notice very much of a difference the only thing that really matters to me is how soft the ear cups are and how much tension the headphones themselves squishing against my head other than that I don't really care much of what they put here am I the only one just me really and this could take up to seven hours to fully charge a fully drained battery which is kind of long but you get about 22 hours of playtime and that's if you're using Bluetooth you have a noise cancellation on and you have extra base on which means if you turn extra bass off and you Stern noise cancellation off you get even more time which is kind of good and also speaking about charging this can if if they will run out of battery you cannot just use them and then plug them in and still listen no it doesn't work that way you have to to take them off and charge them the only way you can use them as they are charging is if you're using the hard wired music by using the provided cord to listen to hardwired music but not bluetooth I'm not sure if it's a safety feature like just in case dead batteries overheat and explode on your ear or something like that I have no idea but that's just how it is I thought you might want to know that so on the right ear cup we find what sony is calling the jog switch and this controls various call and playback functions and right below it is a volume rocker with a tactile dot on the plus side to help with blind operations moving on to the left ear cup we find the indented power button the best effect button the charging port wired audio input the noise cancellation button which sticks out a little bit to help distinguish it from the power button and lastly on the on this cup you will find the NFC panel if you look closely all these buttons look and feel differently which means if you use these headphones for long enough time you will get so used to all these buttons and know what each function button feels like so you won't have to take your headphones off in order to switch stuff around and you won't be yeah pressing buttons that you were not intending to so that is really nice I really really like the way they laid out their buttons here each ear cup is housing and microphone and when you make a phone call both microphones are used and they are also used during noise cancellation and speaking of noise cancellation here is a taste of that but for the best experience please please use headphones otherwise you won't hear you won't hear the difference at all okay so this is how the room sounds like right now I do have some music playing in the background and I also have a fan on going in the background just so we can get some sort of ambient noise so yes this is how it sounds like now I'm going to put the microphone into the headphones so we can hear how it sounds like with the noise cancellation off and now we're going to turn and noise translation on know if canceling on know if canceling off and there you have it it will not completely block out people talking around you all of that soft music playing in a background but it will definitely cut out all the low-frequency ambient noise now if you're listening to music you probably won't hear people talking around you it's good like if you if the headphones are playing something you definitely won't be hearing all that noise around you but even with you know not playing music or anything like that you still it still does a pretty good job at blocking out their low frequency noise and muffling up all the other kind of sounds around you with that said how good is the sound quality well I will let you listen to them but keep in mind my microphone you tube compression and the headphones that you are using to listen to this I'm not going to make it possible for you to get exactly and hear exactly the way these headphones sound like but it should give you a good idea of how they sound like with that said please make sure you're using headphones because if you don't you won't be getting the full on 3d sound because I'll be using a high quality binaural microphone to record this and with that said I'm happy to make time oh yes do you have to admit excuse me so we will be still going with this sample but I wanted to say that that's all you can do with the headphone controls as far as sound control goes but if you get the sony headphone music up you can do a lot more let's see what we can do with the up know if canceling off know if canceling on and like I said what you've just heard is not exactly the way these headphones sound like if you were to put them on your head but it should give you a good idea on how they sound like in fact if your headphones that you're using and not within the range of this frequency respond all larger you probably didn't hear some things that these headphones were producing with that said these are called extra bass for a very good reason lots of this now I don't own a ton of headphones but of the few that I own and the ones that I tried before there's nothing that compares to the kind of music or the kind of best that they things are able to pump out it's just incredible if you are a best head you cannot go wrong with Biz with a sound sound sound so best heavy and you get some kind of a somewhat of a balanced music if you turn the extra bits off but the carve still wins heavy on the best side so if the best is too too much for you you can always go into the app and dial it down I feel like it would have been kind of nice if we were able to dial up or down admit and their highs but Sony was not really focused on those two things as far as these headphones they are for best lovers if you're listening to balanced music if you're looking for balanced headphones these are not yours but again you can dial down the best if it's too much for you in the app so I'm happy with them anyways that's being me with these headphones that's my experience and I hope you've got some kind of inside understanding of these headphones if you like the video aim
