what's going on guys the drivers consumer and CES 2017 had a ton of cool tech products but I couldn't help but focus on one of my favorites new Sony extra bass headphones now huge shout out to don't remember his user name but you saw it too this guy who kind of put this thing on my radar I had no idea they even came out saw his tweet and had to run over to the Sony booth so let me introduce you guys to the new Sony xb9 50 and 1 now these look familiar that's because they're the upgraded version of the sony xb9 50 bt but to give some background to some of you who aren't familiar with the predecessors of these headphones they're one of my favorite headphones of all time because overall they're a great package they've got some of the best bass you'll experience hands down they come in at a very very welcoming price they retail for about 200 but i usually see them on amazon for a hundred bucks and even lower at times and they've also got these amazingly soft ear cushions which makes long listening sessions not a problem and they're bluetooth so it's a lot of all my favorite things smashed into one but I did have some complaints like them not being foldable and that is actually something they addressed with the new version so if laying them flat didn't really help out in terms of portability for you you can now fold them so that they take up a bit less space in your bag now something I like is that Sony's finally including a travel pouch with the N ones and it makes sense because if you're gonna invest in some headphones you should have something that protects it so I'm glad to see that here now one of the biggest changes and upgrades of the new end ones is the addition of active noise-cancelling so with the press of a button you'll get some new noise canceling features and trying it out on the show floor was actually pretty decent now I wouldn't expect any both QC 35 or maybe even sony MDR 1000x quality but it does the trick I was able to isolate the show floor pretty well and it really helps you to focus on getting that nice clarity and bass so you were able to just focus on your music and not hear all the stuff going on around you now like with every other headphone with the addition of active noise-cancelling you see a little bit of a price hike and luckily this is only a $50 price hike so instead of that $200 price you're gonna get it for 250 I'm really hoping that n ones following the footsteps of the 950 BTS and you can find them for much less than the retail price maybe we can find these for about 150 or something that would be awesome hopefully after a few months of them being out we'll start to see those sale prices and in talking about being out these are scheduled to be released in spring of I guess 2017 we don't have a hard date yet Alex I didn't find out a date but spring 2017 so in the upcoming months and let's see there's also a new app so with this new app you're going to be able to change the kind of sound quality that's you're going to be getting out of these so you can change up the sound if you don't like a lot of bass you can I don't know why you'd buy this if you don't like a lot of bass but if you don't like a lot of bass maybe you just want to have these be like your overall headphones you want to tune down the bass you can actually do that with the new app that's gonna be coming out now in terms of battery life I was told that this will get 22 hours without active noise-cancelling and 18 hours with it and for those of you who don't care about active noise-cancelling but you do want these headphones in a foldable form factor there's gonna be the Sony xb9 50 b1 which is basically the exact same thing minus the noise canceling and for those of you who may have purchased the 950 bt is based on my recommendation do not fret you're not getting screwed over at the fact that there's a new model out now it's a pretty minor update that addresses some of my complaints from the old one so you don't have to really worry and you probably got it at a much better price than 250 bucks but that's about it guys hopefully you enjoyed this video if you plan on getting the 950 enones let me know if a comment down below and i'll catch you guys in the next one so then it's your average consumer peace
