Blue Extra Bass Headphones 2017

These Sony MDR-XB950B1 headphones deliver wireless audio with enhanced low-end response for listeners who enjoy bass-forward sound. Bluetooth and NFC pairing plus LDAC support provide convenient connectivity with compatible devices. The Sony Headphones Connect app allows sound customisation for personal preferences. A built-in microphone enables hands-free calls during daily use.

Easy Setup with App Control

Pairing is straightforward using Bluetooth or NFC tap-to-connect functionality on supported devices. The Sony Headphones Connect app installs on a smartphone and guides users through sound optimisation settings. A 3.5 mm audio cable is included for wired listening when wireless is not preferred. The supplied USB cable handles charging from standard power sources.

18-Hour Battery and Broad Frequency Response

Up to 18 hours of wireless playback covers extended commutes or work sessions without recharging. The 40 mm dome drivers reproduce a wide frequency range from 3 Hz to 28,000 Hz for detailed audio across genres. Bass-heavy tracks benefit from the EXTRA BASS tuning, while the app offers equaliser adjustments for other styles. Listeners needing longer unplugged time or audiophile-grade neutrality may find the battery or tuning limiting.
