Perfect for noise cancelling.
I love these headphones. The only downside is that some people have commented that they can still hear my music playing but I can’t hear a thing :).
Perfect.
If in a quite place, noise cancelling works perfectly. As i am a student who travels a lot by bus, i walk a lot to the bus stop, usually can hear the cars passing by, but really depends on the songs you’re listening to. Overall review: amazing product, have never been so satisfied with headphones before, highly recommend, especially for people who enjoy the extra bass. Excellent battery life!
I really like these. Very simple to set up and use. The app does have some good functionality, such as being able to set different noise cancellation settings depending on whether you’re walking, sitting or on public transport. The noise cancellation also works very well. There is a noticeable difference when it is on and off. Of course, nothing will eliminate all external noise. They are relatively comfortable. I found an hour or so to be the maximum before needing a break, but I don’t have any headphones that have been any better than that for me. The sound quality is really very good, and the microphone also works very well. It’s a bit of a pain switching between different bluetooth devices, and it will always default to the last used one, but it’s not that big of a deal. You just have to remember to switch bluetooth off on the last device before connecting to a new one. All in all, I’m very pleased with them.
Great set of headphones

Easy to use and excellent quality.
I think that the sound is optimised by downloading others Apps which I won’t be doing.
Grea
Really great love it battery life is so good only cant contact with tv bluetooth
Excellent value
Really nice headphones. Sound is amazing. Noise Cancellation could be better but it does a good enough job for me I still actually like to be able to hear my surroundings. You still can faintly with these.They actually sound better than my b beats
Great sound experience
Expectations well exceeded, using the app is an added bonus.
Beautiful
Very very good product. Highly recommend, especially for people who love a bit of extra bass.
Amazing headphones.
The noise cancellation on these headphones is not as good as the Sony 1000mx3s or Bose QC35 ii, but the xb900ns still are an excellent pair of headphones. Definitely worth it.
Decent produc
Bought it for my son.
He is extremely well pleased.
He’s had it since Christmas
My perfect wireless headphone
The sound is perfect for my needs as a 30s guy. Overall 4.5 stars for sound, great soundstage as it surprisingly maintains good mid range, 5 stars for bass for today’s music but a slight loss of detail particularly on the high end trebles.
A steal as it’s half the price of the flagship 1000 but it’s just one notch below in terms of quality.
The only main criticism is noise cancellation which is ok but only fully implemented in the 1000. Do you really need it? Perhaps if you have a long noisy commute or frequently fly for work.
Battery is amazing
The battery is amazing, stays on 50% forever!
Sound quality is fantastic and the quirky bits are so useful.
To hear an announcement put your hand over the right headphone and it silences whatever is playing.
Second best headphones I've ever had!
Charge for 10 minutes, lasts 60 minutes is my favourite feature, bass is alright, its not head rocking, overall I recommend this to anyone who uses YouTube all day everyday, going for food? Put these on the charge, come back, unplug them and you’ll get 60/120 minutes of battery, it’s crazy technology.
Make sure you like lots of bass
Silly really but given the name of these headphones I was surprised just how much the bass was ramped up. I think that I will go for the WH-1000XM3 before too long.
Ahhhh Sony, my favourite manufacturer, always a quality product no matter what. Deep unfettered bass that compliments the mids and highs, that’s a given it s a quality sony sound signature. Some say too bassy, I dont find that at all, it’s an extra bass product and it does not stray too far into the lower frequencies, but just enough to give you that night club feel. I could review these standing on my head sony just mic drop every product they do, so it could be easy to get complacent you would say, well….
One gripe I have is that the noise cancellation falls well short of what I would expect at this price range, it is clear they do not want to tread on the toes of the more expensive xm3000’s, and have toned down the performance somewhat. Which is fine these are cheaper ofcourse but they’ve toned it down too much, too such a point that it doesn’t compete with older cans like the sennheiser hd4.50bt’s. Which is a shame because everything else about these, design, comfort, usability are close to their older more expensive sibling.
Sure the chassis is made of a slightly grained cheaper plastic but for me these things look cooler than the xm3’s they dont have the god awful jut out at the bottom of the earpiece, it’s just straight and minimal. Cool sony logos on each side of the headband, Alexa and google assistant support, excellent call quality.
The sound is not for all types of music, it doesn’t suit say, classical or jazz, but I guessing that’s not the target audience. Yeah they are for dance and hip hop lovers, they say they can accept hd codecs, maybe im spoilt but it doesnt seem clear enough to me but then again I’m comparing with far der more expensive cans.
Look heres the deal, if you want a fun, perfectly formed excellently engineered product at a price range that fits most pockets then you cant go wrong, it’s not audiophile level quality but it is a punchy and fun sound house, I have a blast with these on so that tells you the story just get em and enjoy em, oh yeah great for gaming too, just the right amount of zing and pop for those explosions. Bit of a closed soundstage though but yeah I’m getting tangled up in my own headphone cable here.
Sony your my God….remember that.
Peace out my lovely review reading peoples, enjoy your product!

Definitely worth an auditio
Noise cancelling is very good, though not quite up to Bose standard. Makes up for it in the sound quality. Excellent standard. My previous headphones have been Bose and Sennheiser. I’m very happy I gave these ones a try. Great phone conversations too
Great pair of headphones for the price. The sound quality is great with the app providing the ability to dynamically change settings to give the sound to suit the music or show. Provides multiple settings for noise cancelling, ambient sound control and normal mode. Ambient sound control is great for phone calls where you can hear the surrounding but also your call.
Hands free phone calls have great sound with almost all background noise being cancelled out.
Would recommend these headphones, comparing to the next level up pair, these are great value for money with only a slight improvement in sound quality on the WH-1000MX3.
Best headphones I've owned
Noise cancelling is decent on these. I’m loving the extra bass and the sound quality.
Great sound, great features, great value

Top quality from Sony at £130 discounted price.
Excellent quality/bass at a decent price (130).
Sony delivered on this one 100%.
Brillia
Bought as Christmas present for my other half. He absolutely loves them. Said there’s brilliant clear sound and the noise cancelling is excellent. Very easy to set up & use.
Quality
Quality product. Could improve sound cancellation a little but overavll great.
Great cordless headphones
I bought these as a Christmas present to myself, after seeing someone one the tube with them. I didn’t need new headphones, but got convinced by the cordless factor. I’m so glad I bought them! The battery power is amazing, I haven’t had to charge them since the first time and I’ve been on a 2 week holiday with 2 8hr flights and then 2 3hr train journeys!! Sound is awesome for both music and film/TV. Totally recommended!!
I paid approx 130 for these. They sound fantastic, best I’ve owned by miles. All the bass you’ll ever want. They are comfy, battery life is great, they fold nicely and the wireless is effortless. So the following picky comments are in that context:
Noise cancelling noticeably dulls external sound, but it’s still there in quiet songs. The nature of these being cans makes it difficult to curl up in a high back chair. I wear them for ages, cos I love the sound, but eventually my ears get hot. The touch controls can be hard to locate. You do need the app to set up the sound properly, but it’s fine forever after you’ve done it. They come with a short usbC cable. Don’t throw that away like I did, it’s not ubiquitous yet!
If you are spending decent cash on headphones, you need to know this small stuff. But for all that, they also sound great and are easy to use. I love them.

First impression was great, I used the NC in the house and was impressed how it did help to reduce the background noise. But after a short while, I had climatised to the level of sound and the NC seemed like it was not there. I would refer the NC as noise reduction, not cancellation. The more expensive Sony WH-1000 XM3’s have a better cancelling function, but are well over 100 more. Still not sure it is worth the further ton.
The sound quality however is amazing. Clear, crisp and with DSEE, you have some great sound code. The additional bass in this model is fantastic… if you like bass. It doesn’t distort the overall experience, it enhances some tracks that has some deeper tones you didn’t even know we’re there. Connectivity is great too, I can walk around my solid built apartment and not get any Bluetooth drop off, allowing me to leave the phone in one room whilst pausing, changing track and even asking Google to like a song on Spotify without having to touch my phone.
Battery life is second to none, I am so accustomed to other Bluetooth devices dying after a few days, that I have carried a charger with me. No need anymore. I have managed two trips to London and another to Manchester and still have 50% battery left. I don’t know how, but I’m not going to question the battery Gods.
Overall, these headphones are a delight. The NC isn’t the best, but this issue quickly pales in to comparison when you hear the sound, use the actually easy gesture controls (don’t understand why people say it’s so complicated) and the comfort these offer. Have had them on for hours at a time and no ear ache etc.
I will most likely have these for the next couple of years, but will most likely go back to Sony when I need another pair I’m sure in a few years time, they will still be the best.
Yes
That was a Xmas present. However, seeing my wife going out with all the time showed me how much she is attached to it. The other day, she left home and then came back after 3 minutes saying i forgot my headphones, I could not go without them so I had to come back..
Consider these Sony’s before spending nearly double
For the money these are amazing headphones you have control over the sound through the ap the defiantly live up to name extra bass but you can tone it down in settings great for house, tech-house, drum & bass & band music.
Would highly recommend. Controls on headphones are great once you get used to how they work. I was going for 1000 that are nearly double in cost as I bought my first pair of these 900 for a present and ending just getting a pair myself. As I didn’t really need the extra noise cancelling you get going up a level.
A great work horse

Simply superb Produc
I bought almost month back and overall performance is very good
Brilliant sound, good value
Brilliant sound quality, I did have to reduce the bass via the app but was expecting this having read reviews.
The sound cancellation is brilliant and allows me to sit in my works loud canteen without disruption.
I use them daily and hardly have to charge them, brilliant battery life and the Bluetooth connecting is extremely fast.
Last thing I should mention is the comfort. The ear cups are nice and soft, and the headband is lovely. Most comfortable headphones I’ve owned. The only thing I would say is it tends to get quite hot wearing them after a while.
Overall very hard to fault them, especially not for the price.
Pay a little more you’ll find it well worth the investment!
Use to listen to tv as my hearing is poor and I need the volume up too high
Really comfortable to wear.
I’ve tried others but these are by far the bes
Noise cancelling
Their noise cancelling isn’t the best but it really isn’t bad, it tones out loud and consistent sounds really well but short burst of sounds isn’t that great. Overall definitely a product I would recommend
Great sound. Noise cancelling could be better.
Overall all is a great pair of headphones. I thought the noise cancelling would be absolute. For music and audio is spot on.
Good bass, average sound
Was looking for a pair of headphones to replace my bose from a fees years ago and found these and decided to go for them,
I saw that they emphasize the bass but also have very good general output.
I have found them to be a vast improvement as most new technology is however the bass does seem to overpower alot of songs especially accoustic music.
Overall I would recommend for the bass lover but if you would like to listen to softer music or audiobooks look elsewhere.
Only worth if less than £90
Great, but ANC is pretty bad. It barely cancels out background noise, be it airplane, bus or road noises, worse than those at fraction of the price. ANC is unusable in outdoor environments because the tiniest breeze will cause loud wind noises that are audible in the headphones which ruins the music experience. So practically, the ANC is only usable for indoor environments when the sound levels are low. Otherwise it will not do much in terms of cancellation and it sometimes makes other noises even louder than they are.
However, sound and build quality are great; no major complaints. There is a minor issue with audio though: it sometimes produces somewhat of a high pitched noise (not very loud) when no media is playing (even when ambient sound and ANC are off). It’s not audible when media is playing.
The battery life is superb. It lasts me more than advertised (for now, at least). Charging is ridiculouslu slow though (5V 0.2A = 1W) and takes about 6 hours for a full charge.
Signal quality is okay. I have had some interferences where even cheap headphones did not. It happens in both modes, LDAC and SBC. My phone is a Galaxy S9 so it should not be due to the phone and does not happen with my Anker wireless earbuds.
If you cannot find this for less than 90, it’s not worth it. For what I paid (128), this is absolutely not worth it. You’d be better off with some cheaper pairs, or even the Sennheiser BT 4.50 NC for 70-80. Overall I’m satisfied with the audio and app support, but ANC is pretty much useless.

Noise Cancellation not that great but nothing there to complain as well
I found this headphone great with all the specs and specially battery life is good.
Noise Cancellation experience is not that great but nothing there to complain.
Excellent headphones.
Great sound, easy to set up and comfortable to wear for long periods.
Great quality
Very good quality lasts me 2-3 days between each charge great noise cancelling
Excellent headphones!
Pro:
Ease of setting up,
Sound quality,
The noise cancelling capabilities,
The feel and comfort of wearing the headphones from long periods,
Battery life,
Bluetooth range,
Looks and styling,
Price (I paid 124.99 in deals but would happily pay full price for these)
Cons:
The touch pad to control volume/skip track etc isn’t as good as physical buttons.
Great pair of headphones for the price
Great pair of headphones as expected for the price, noise cancelling is not top notch but it does the job. It gets a bit heavy after long use but they are overall comfortable over the ears. Also the battery is great as it can easily last me 2 days of use.
Great all round produc
Very good product. Blocks out all but loud noises. With music on cannot really notice the other sounds.
Hand to cup function which allows noise in to talk is amazing!
A worthy must to your headphone collectio
Awesome cans. So comfortable and good bass levels. As they run in they get even better.
Great sound quality and good value
I purchased these headphones for my dad as a Christmas present, they are very good value fir money on the Amazon deal price that I paid for them.
Very easy to set up and pair, the noise cancellation is also very good and on par with more premium headphones.
It’s a real shame these Sony’s don’t hone with a hard case to protect them.
Great for traveling.
Overall 5 stars because even though the noise cancelling doesn’t completely cut you off from the world, it’s enough for making a trip on a coach, jet or turboprop plane more enjoyable by far.
Great sounding Hedphones.
Only had these a week but so far I am very pleased, sound is very good, noise cancelling is very good, I might be a bit old fashioned but everything is plastic these days. Just hope they last, Great service from Amazon.
Enjoy them
Impressed with this headphones quality sound is very good recommend for people
Much more than just headphones
Best headphones I ever used. I may be biased as these are my first upgrade from the cheaper mPow headphones I used, but these blow me away. Sound is amazing, you can even make it work magic with the Google assistant to make it read notifications and give you information. It’s amazing.
Battery lasts a good 40hrs, sound cancelling not bad, you can put your hand over the one earphone to here any noise if needed. NFC connects straight to my samsung phone. Sound quality is really good if you like the extra bass. Was able to connect to my tv also with no problems. Touch pad works really well. Would recommend for the price. The 360 sound also makes a difference if you are signed up to one of the music apps this includes amazon hd music.

Good headphones, good noise cancellatio
Very good quality for the price. Solid build and good noise cancellation and controls.
Best mid range price noise cancelling in a headphone
I cannot say I came across any issues or inconvenience. It’s all you want in a headphone for this price.
Great sound and very comfy
Really good sound and super comfy.
Noise cancellation is good but not as great as Bose. However great for the price
Good buy for the price
Battery life is amazing. So is sound quality. Many customisations can be made through the free app.
Best Product in the range
Using my Sony headphones for more than a month. It’s a quality Sony product… Great sound quality and superb battery life.
Noise cancellation is not great but quite satisfactory.
Light weight and comfortable to wear.
Great product ..very happy.
My son is very happy with these head phones. Would highly recommend.
As overhead earphones there probably the best A+++
I use these earphones for heavy gym use, apart from making my ears sweat, these are fab. Take away all the ambient noise which allows you to focus on the exercise you’re performing. Battery life is amazing, I cannot fault these headphones. Price comparison wise they’re far better value than other competitors such as Bose
Good sound quality
superb sound quality. superb battery life. mobile aap has 5 equaliser mode. mic is also good but not recommended for official meeting in a crowdy place. it picks back ground noise. But works really great if you are talking in a meeting room. Overall its good. Based on the price I was expecting case which is not given.
Glad I bought it at half price
Gutted it’s not suitable/adaptable for my Sony smart T.V
But for everything else it does the job I guess. Controls on side of headphones could be more responsive though. And made simple
If you want noise cancellation Headphones look no furthe
It was a gift to our son in law , a captain with a well known airline, he wanted these because of the noise cancellation. He has just returned from a long flight and was absolutely delighted with how these Headphones performed particularly the ability to eliminate all external noise distraction when taking his rest periods
Quality set of headphones
Purchased as a Xmas present and the recipient is very happy with them
Good quality. Low price. Functional.
Amazing value for quality.
Sound is really nice. Due to more bass it’s not as crisp but still really good. Love the functions on the right earcup. (Swipe up down left or right)… And the best of all is the ability to hear surroundings with ambient function! It feels strange and yet so cool. Just touch your nfc ready smartphone to the left earcup and it will connect/disconnect itself!
Never been more happy with a headphones purchase. I can reccomend.
(Bought for 140 at the time)
Worth i
Worth the money, for the comfort, sound and quality. Would definitely recommend to purchase.
Unfortunately, I no longer have these headphones as I recently got them stolen from my head whilst listening to music. I would say be aware of your surrounding when wearing these headphones
Picked this up as some general use headphones for walking around especially to and from work. Firstly these are overall great headphones. I wouldn’t say I have a good enough ear to call myself an audiophile, but the sound quality sounds great to me especially on tracks with base such as rap ect which is very punchy. I listen to a large range of music including classical, rock, motown pop and they sound consistently great. The headphones feel light and very well made, with NFC pairing making the whole process very simple. You will absolutely need the Sony app to customise various settings on the headphones, and although it features an automated by default to adjust noise cancellation to your surroundings I wanted to block all noise constantly so turned this feature off. You can remap the main button to voice assistant over the auto noise cancellation option and if your like me you will want to change this in the app, although if using the assistant you may want to tinker on your phone to prevent somewhat annoying notification sounds playing through the headphones. The only negative with the noise cancellation for me is that they do not seem to be as effective in YouTube or watching video content where I can hear traffic, whereas when using Spotify or music apps it blocks out sound extremely well. Battery life is great, and of say I use them for YouTube and music around 2-4 hours a day which you can get remaining battery by pressing the power button once. Ear cup controls are great and very easy to use, and the gesture to stop sound by placing your hand over the right earcup is genuinely useful when someone stops you for a question or you run into someone.
Overall I know people always prefer the more expensive M3’s, and if you are an audiophile you will likley enjoy the benefits they have to offer. But if you just want great headphones, with really good noise cancellation for what I feel is a very reasonable price (especially if you like bassier music) then you will not go wrong with these. Best headphones I’ve had yet.
Fantastic
Bought as a gift for my husband. He loves it and said it made the commute on bus and tube bearable.
Long lasting batteries, very good sound and he loves the noise cancelling.

I’ve never spent over 100 on headphones before, so these are my first proper high end headphones. The sound quality is beyond stunning and songs I’ve listened to before, sound completely different in such higher quality! I can now listen to bass music without distortion aswell I decided these over beats and bose as they were both out my budget and as I travel alot, I didn’t really want “flashy” headphones on show. But these are definitely great to start with, as I just enjoy listening to music while travelling and don’t want the heavy noise in the background. The sound canceling is not bad too. Not the best. But good. Definitely happy with this purchase! 🙂 I got the 2 year guarantee from amazon for a extra 20! So fully protected
Great headphones!

An Absolute Steal at this Price ***** Five Star*****
At 129 these are great value. cannot fault them at all.
Downloaded the app from google play (its called Sony Headphones Connect) and set them up in seconds. The sound quality is amazing.
some great fetures and so easy to increase volume or pause and skip tracks just by sliding or pressing your fingures on the side of the right ear cup.
👍
Exactly what I wanted and great value for money. The app to play around with the sound is cool too
Excelle
This headphone set will be classed my second best fr when doing jobs around the home. Excellent sound quality but I also have the BOSE QC 35 series 2. Now your talking quality but for what I want this for great. Excellent to keep nosey parkers away when you are on channel X.when privacy is a must.
Great product and the ease and functionality makes it a great buy.

Not as good quality of noise cancelling as the Sony 1000 mx3 but for the 120 price worth.
Extra bass sounds very good.
Sound quality good.
Overall 100% worth for that price.
The sound quality is superb! You literally feel like you are sitting on a subwoofer ! Noise cancelation is great ! The touch controls are in my opinion the best idea ever.
Bass is crazyyyyyy and you can make it even stronger using sony app where you can customise the sound and make it sound like you are in the club, arena, concert hall or in your gf mum’s house and many more!
Prior to buying I was deciding between this model and a JBL ones but honestly mate buy SONY and you won’t regret it.
I listen to all kinds of music and when using and changing the customisation within app you can get the best quality ever – mid range, high and low like cmon mate this stuff is great. Sony app can even enhance the quality of your music.
There is siri / alexa or whatever build in but I don’t use any of that so cannot really say anything interesting about it mate.
You can even get 360 sound but you need to send pictures of yours ears so they can analyse it for you. Up to you mate.
Connection is super strong –> is stronger then Ronnie Coleman squatting 800lbs. No jokes.
They feel and are comfortable on yo head mate – shake your head like crazy they still will be there hitting you with baseeeeeeeeeee
To sum up, mate just get them.

Great sound quality
Love the sound quality
Has some extra bass
Active noise cancelling is better than noise cancelling.
Helps in travelling.
Cancels out mechanical noises.
Absolutely love these!! Great quality and cool design. Feels really comfy on and I can wear them for a long time without feeling any discomfort. Sound quality is class! I’d read reviews online that said the bass is too much on these so I was a little worried about that but I’m not sure why that’s being said as I really love the bass on them, doesn’t feel like too much to me, maybe personal preference. But either way you can easily adjust the EQ on the Sony app so if you did find the default set is too much bass it’s easily adjusted. But for me the sound is amazing on these! For the price these are flipping great and I don’t think you’ll find a better pair for the price. You get a lot for your money and the noise cancelling works great too. The touch controls on the right ear cup are fun and easy to use. Easy Bluetooth connection to my iPhone and MacBook. I was to save up for the WH1000mx3 but they were just outta budget so if you’re like me and can’t afford the extra 100+ for them, you’ll not be disappointed with these ones. These are my first pair of Sony’s and previous headphones I’ve had were skullcandy uproar and ITx7s so these are a massive upgrade for me and well worth the money.

Great value for money
Cannot go wrong with these headphones. Sound quality is great and bass is amazing
Really good headphones
Really good headphones, not the loudest but has good sound quality and really good noise cancellatio
Best bass headphones I used so fa
Had these headphones for a while now and there amazing built quality lovely sound with nice deep clean bass and with the headphone app to make your own eq as well also set the second button for google/Alex or noise cancelling
Fantastic headphones, very comfortable and sounds great, I expected more bass considering the Ch700n I had before it but it’s not bad at all and for the deal I got I’m very satisfied.
Update:
Here is my full review vs my previous CH700N.
Pros:
-Much more comfortable.
-Type C, no need for a different cable if you already have a smartphone using one.
-More detailed and much clearer sound, bass doesn’t destroy other frequencies.
-Better bass, I said initially I expected more, but really all I needed to do is to raise the volume to feel the rumbling lol.
-Noise cancellation is much better but not to the level of the 1000XM3s, it has most of the 1000XM3s features, so if they gave it a same level of noise cancellation, it will destroy its sales.
Cons:
-Less battery life, I guess because of the bass.
-The CH700N is a bit louder, it can really hurt your ear if you crank the volume up.
-I like the new touch controls, but they can accidentally execute a wrong order.
Overall I’m very happy with mu purchase, and I really recommend the XB900Ns, especially if they go on sale, they are totally worth the money.
Very comfortable

The headphones proved to be actually better than expected. The bass which some people are complaining as being too much, and it is if you have a more neutral ear, it can be adjusted from the app. I just like having the option to have the extra bass if I want to. I love all sorts of music, from classic, opera, jazz, rock to rap, pop and podcasts. The headphones just do a splendid job. I have another Sony MDR-10RBT headphones which I have been using for the last 4 years and I still love them. It is a very big gap in term of sound quality and features between them in favour of the Sony WH-900N extra bass. I wasn’t totally blown away by the 360 features but it is still great to have on the phone, I may develop a taste for it.
Unbeatable on price, quality of sound and features.

Super bass and holds its own , but NC not good
Good headphones if you get them under 130 pounds. I have the mx2 and mx3 and these are a step above this but the sound of all three is great. The bass on these are heavy, but still great quality, not cheap sounding at all. Sound canceling is 1/4 of the mx3’s , so if you’re after that then get the MX3s
i’ve had it nearly 4 weeks now, charged it once and it’s still at 70%. i only use it a few times a week but it’s great that it keeps its charge for so long. music quality is amazing, better than my old pair of sennheisers! noise cancelling is okay, but there’s not much difference. not sure what to do with the ambient sound option but an all round good product!
What i can say it just wow. I am really happy with sound quality, comfort, and battaey. I used before bose soundsportband had issues with that. This headphones even better then Sony’s top 1000m. I could recomand this to anyone
Comfy Headphones
The headphones are soft and very comfortable to wear. Sound is great and handling easy. The Pairing with multiple devices works fine.
Thank you

Noise cancelling could be better. But build quality & battery life are amazing. I love these headphones. Not sure whether to blame my phone or the headphones for sometimes tricky Bluetooth connecting but it’s worth the 1 in 10 times I need to take a second look.
In contrast to all the media reviews and listening to both extensively before purchasing, I liked the sound of the XB900n more than XM3. Firstly there’s more bass, which I prefer, and although the bass was a bit loose at first they do tighten up quite nicely when burnt in. I also prefer EQ on the phone rather than the Sony app, as that keeps the superior LDAC codec in play, which finally elevates bluetooth nearer to wired quality. Now they sound fabulous, with mids & highs not masked at all unlike previous versions of the XB range. Additionally, the overall sound somehow just sounds that bit more clearer than the XM3, maybe because there was less of the noise cancelling gimmickry of the XM3 getting in the way of the sound. This can’t compete with the NC of the XM3 though, so if you need that buy them. I have less need or desire to be totally cut off from my surroundings, but the XB900n cuts off just enough for my purposes.
These retain the great touch and ambient gestures of the XM3s though. Build quality seems good but I tend to abuse my headphones so time will tell, a shame Sony were a bit cheap not supplying a hard case especially for the price. Comfort is fine, the ears do sweat a bit after time like most over ears.
So far I don’t regret my purchase.

he appearance of the headphones are too shiny which is what i was not expecting, the size of the headphones are surprisingly small compared to my older xb n1s, I’m undecided on the quality of the extra bass right now.
the best feature on these headphones are the Quick Attention Feature, it’s already proven quite useful when friends want to say something to me and I no longer have to take off the headphones to do that.
There is no more separate bass button to turn it on and off like before, you now have to use an app to do that now, touch controls are straightforward but can be inaccurate when trying to navigate the controls, I’m still trying to get used to them.
There is a bit of sound leakage compared to the xb N1s I used to have, I’m not sure but I think it has to do with the way they are designed now especially with the over the ear cups.
the USB type c cable that was included, the length is a joke honestly, it was laughably small thankfully I had a spare cable around and used that instead.
I am unable to hear calls when I receive them, I am unable to find a solution to this problem currently, the voice is distorted and low, not sure if anyone has the same issue as me or some way to fix the issue.
the bass is honestly amazing, I’ve used them for more than a week and it’s taken a while for them to burn in but they do sound great now especially with some high quality music.
I will add more to this review as I go along.
