What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony XB950N1 Extra Bass Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, Black

They are incredibly comfortable, and the weight is light enough that I don't notice them on my head during extended use.
The sound is great, they're light, they last a long time, and they have an app which can help you modify the sound stage and the bass.
These are ok headphones. They are super light and comfortable.
The only negative I can think of is the size, these do stick out on your head!
Only downfall is the size. Ya it's huge. The size of the headphones alone are large and the ear pads are massive, they stuck out a lot from the sides of my head.

What customers say about "Features"

Sony XB950N1 Extra Bass Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, Black

The sound quality is good, and the noise cancelling is not bad.
I personally love the Sony Headphones Connect App. The app basically allows you to change what your music sounds like.
So far I love these headphones. There was an app I had to download to connect them to my Iphone via Bluetooth. Very easy to connect and use.
There is a weird bug that happens when you first connect to a bluetooth source, it will connect and sound fine for 3 seconds.
They break at the joint that connects the cups to the headband.

What customers say about "Power"

Sony XB950N1 Extra Bass Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones, Black

The battery quality is actually pretty good and the sound as is as good as I would expect without breaking the bank.
Long battery life. Best amalgamation of buttons for any bluetooth headset I've owned.
My favorite aspect is the battery life, it is simply unparalleled, with three 10 hour work days of playtime before reading low battery.
The battery life is pretty good at 22 hours, meaning I only need to charge them every 3-4 days.
Bad battery life. The headphones will not automatically turn off if you are not listening to any music, thus draining battery.
