What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Sony MDR-XB950BT/H Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset (Gray)
  • I would highly recommend them for home use and light travel. I took mine to warped tour and they were completely fine in my bag even when I was in the pit.
  • The bass is high quality. They feel light and stable.
  • The Sony was light and comfortable at least, and the controls were easy to use.
  • These headphones wrap around your ears and are quite light and comfortable.
  • Great Headset but I surprised by its size. Very Big.
Sony XB950B1 Extra Bass with App Control
  • It's small, thin, and splits super easy. They have a nice flat range and a bass booster meme button which is hilarious.
  • Very comfortable, ears don't get hot, very light weight, and long battery life.
  • I wish the headphones would fold in to be a little more compact to make traveling with them a little easier.
  • Small and very uncomfortable, with about 20 mins I ended up with a headache. Sent them back for a refund.
  • Everything is good except the weight. I am feeling it's little bit weight.

What customers say about "Features"
Sony MDR-XB950BT/H Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset (Gray)
  • Love the Bluetooth as well and how easily it connects to my phone and windows surface. These are well worth every dollar I spent on them.
  • Connection strength and battery life is impressive, they just take a while to charge.
  • These things sound amazing. Nice mids and highs with good bass. They sound better with the right EQ adjustment.
  • The part I don't like is the bluetooth aspect. They aren't connected very strongly at all. Small movements can distort the sound.
  • Walking more than 20 feet from your device in an outdoor setting will drop the connection.
Sony XB950B1 Extra Bass with App Control
  • The adjustable head sizes meant it fit my head perfectly. Paired with the lazy boy type cushion ear pieces it makes for pleasurable listening for hours!
  • The Bluetooth connected perfectly, the sound was great, and our kids loved the look.
  • Connects easily to any bluetooth enabled device I've used so far including ipad, desktop computer and mobile phones.
  • Really good sound, good battery life, charges quick, easy to connect.
  • The only thing we don't like is that you cannot use a normal audio cable because the port on the headphones is too small.

  • The battery lasts for about a week when I use them although if you turn on the bass boost button the battery will die faster.
