Sony MDRXB950B1

At CES 2017, Sony announced four new pairs of headphones in its Extra Bass line including the wireless MDR XB950B1. This NFC enabled Bluetooth headset promises a bass led sound, with aptX for clearer wireless audio, and a companion app that lets you choose between different EQ settings to personalise the sound. At the time, sony also released the MDR XB950N1, which is pretty much the same thing. Unfortunately, we have not had a chance to get our hands on those cans yet, but we did get to try out the XB950B1, and used it for just under a week. According to the packaging, this headset is designed to be used with smartphones, and that how we used it the most, paired wirelessly.
