The BEST Bass Headphones? Sony XB950N1!

2017-04-08
what's going on guys your average consumer and finally we have the sony xba-40 n ones in hand and i got to say these are easily one of my favorite headphones ever I was super excited when I saw these our CES I could not wait for them when I dropped my video a ton of you guys were crazy interested and since I know a ton of you went out and bought the 950 BT based on my recommendation we're going to compare the two and see if it's really worth upgrading if you already have these now the first thing we're going to talk about guys is the design now just looking at it it looks just like the 950 BTS but what's one major difference now boom you got some foldable action here so this makes portability a lot simpler I'm not even going to lie it's actually really easy to just keep it flat like this throw it in the backpack and you're good to go but it doesn't hurt to have some options if maybe you want to throw this into a side pocket or something now you can do that so this is really really cool and this is absolutely something I was dying for on the 950 BT now another change you'll find with the N ones is that they've got two new colors green which you've never seen before and black but this one isn't really black it's more like a slate the BP's are also in black but this one feels a bit different this feels like a grey or tone to it and it's also got the textured feel so if you look at the sides of the ear cups and the headband itself you got that nice little texture the BTS itself featured a deeper black and it also has this little red accent around the ear cups now I think these are very solid colors I'm more of a fan of this black but if you really like the look of the 950 BTS the 950 B ones which I don't have on the table have no noise cancelling and they still feature the old design but in terms of straight-up looks you still are on the bigger side guys there's no denying that you have big headphones so I'm not really sure how you guys are going to feel about leaving the house with these personally I feel like they sound so good that I don't really care now in terms of comfort they've still got those nice super plush supersoft air cushions so you can wear these forever and not have a problem I honestly feel like the bps and these are amongst the most comfortable headphones I've ever ever worn so comfort you have got it no issues here whatsoever you're going to love it now in terms of features the kind of things that you'd get with these headphones first thing you'll notice over here on the left ear cup is NFC so if you have an NFC enabled device maybe a phone tablet whatever it may be all you have to do is tap them together and you get the option to pair them pretty quickly so that's a pretty cool decent feature not not a big deal to be honest but it's there and of course you guys know that these are wireless headphones so they've got bluetooth connectivity so you've got all your controls on the sides of the ear custom whatnot so you can control your music and your headphones without having to touch your device I love headphones like this now one of the biggest upgrades here on the n1 is the inclusion of active noise-cancelling so if you'd like to travel you can use the active noise-cancelling to cancel out all the rumbling from maybe a plane or a train now I know active noise-cancelling isn't really something that everyone is looking for so you can go to the B ones which don't have that feature but it still has all the other upgrades and it's a bit cheaper now I did get a chance to travel with these or try out the active noise-cancelling for myself and I'm not going to lie I was pretty impressed I tried out some great active noise-cancelling headphones in the past and these are definitely no slouch now features that we all know and love on these headphones is the bass boost button if you're looking for bass you will not find something better than these I guarantee it but there is a change that they did with the and ones design that I really don't like the bass boost button is now flush within the ear cup now this is a problem when you're actually wearing it because we're looking for the button to press it's kind of hard to determine where it actually is the 950 BTS actually had a little groove that the button had a nice little indent so you knew when you place your thumb on it that you'd be pressing the button there but with these it's just a little bit harder to know when you're actually on the button not really a deal-breaker but it is something they took away from no reason and one of my favorite features besides that bass boost is the new app and the app is actually pretty simple you've got three things that you can control here you've got this surround effect that gives you this feeling of being in a concert or an arena or a club you can actually switch it up depending on what kind of vibe you're going for which is actually really really cool but honestly not something that I would use that often that's a very specific feeling that you want to be going for not something I think is going to really catch on for a lot of people but what's important here is that you actually have the ability to control the bass from the bass boost button so you can actually pick it all the way from 10 to negative 10 which is some very awesome control I personally feel like this is an amazing addition to the n1 because with the bass boost button it is possible to have too much bass yes I know it's hard to believe but you really can have way too much bass and I personally like to tone it down a little bit sometimes when the song already has a lot of emphasis on the bass and lastly you can turn off your active noise-cancelling but there's a button for that on the headphone so it's not really a big deal now something I really like about the N ones is that they now come with a travel case and this is awesome I had to find third-party cases or cases from other headphones to throw my booties in wasn't really crazy about that I always said that song should have included a case and now they do so you don't have to worry about this getting scratched stuff or maybe anything else that could happen to them you now have a case that you can put them in they also get a 3.5 millimeter cable if you don't want to use the bluetooth features you can go in Wireless no problem but what's great with the N ones now is that when you plug these in you still get access to bass blues now what you've all been waiting for I know you guys want to know how do these sound and I got to say guys sony was actually able to improve the sound quality now look at this straight guys these headphones are made for people who love bass like really love it but with that in mind they also don't sound like complete trash when you're listening to a song that isn't bass heavy or requires the vocals to sound good they sounded great all around but they have that super emphasis when it comes to bass you can definitely get away with listening to something classical and whatnot especially but the bass boost control but that's not what you're here for some boom-boom-boom in the air drums now we're asking the biggest improvement in terms of sound quality is when you're actually using the bass booth feature now with the 950 bps I actually didn't like having the basically speaker on sometimes because it would just be too much and you definitely took a hit in sound quality like the vocals or like the lighter instrument it just really was not a pleasant experience but they actually changed that with the BTS I was able to tolerate having maximum based maximum volumes and not notice a serious degrade in sound quality so these sounds amazing they're absolutely one my favorite headphones of all time right now now I know a lot of you went and got the 950 BTS but are they worth upgrading yes they are definitely worth the upgrade because you did in bedded sound quality you're also getting that noise cancelling feature if you care about it and that foldable design so if these are things that are interesting to you I definitely think they're worth it they also feature 22 hours of battery life and if you don't use bass boost or the active noise-cancelling sony says that you can get even more so that's already more than you get with the 950 BTS so like I said guys lots of reasons to upgrade I definitely think it's worth it the only issue comes in the fact that these go for about 250 bucks which I think they are absolutely well worth but I know a lot of people got these for maybe under 100 bucks maybe for 100 bucks that was one of the best selling points of the 950 BCS but I still don't care I think these are worth the 250 you pay for it and maybe these will follow in the footsteps of the BTS get some creative discounts over time but either way they're worth the price I love these well hopefully enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy or girl that gives this video thumbs up links but everything will be in the description I'll catch you guys in the next one till then is your Avex consumer base
