Sound quality is great and so is noise cancelling, only tricky think is getting used to the controls, with no physical buttons other than a power button and a customisable button.
My partner bought these today and I do not need to trial them over a long period for the purpose of review! I got these to upgrade from my XB950's and was not disappointed. Style, quality and performance are brilliant, a definite step up from my previous headphones. I have had many headphones over the years, mainly top brands, but always end up coming back to Sony! These have been paired and used with my Xperia 1ii, NW-A55L, tablet and PC, and the sound is excellent. It's a shame my A55L doesn't support the equaliser via BT but the sound is still very good. I used them with Sony Music Centre on my PC and the sound is spot on. After a few hours use my ears were not overly hot or sweaty, and they are very comfortable and light. If Sony would like to send me an A100 DAP player to review I could update this!!! ;)
Great head phones good sound Quality Touch controls work really well and Compared to others I’ve had only downside pick up a lot of wind noise when outside but other than that very nice
Ive always been looking for these headphones and I finally had the opportunity to buy these! They sound really good as expected, the comfort is really great. I can use these for hours without any pain.
Barely lasted a year. Don’t plan to use these outside as the slots in the ear pieces catch all the wind and drown out all your audio. The headband is very cheap and fragile and broke on both ends in just over a year. Very very disappointed
Very easy to set up on a range of appliances including IPad, IPhone and Panasoninic smart tv. Alexa streams perfectly. Great sound, although needed adjusting through app. Very pleased overall
In recent times my headphone purchase price has gone £30 ish £60 ish and now £150 and im not disapointed. The better quality of equipment used in production certainly makes a difference. I was tempted by bose but read a couple of low reviews so went sony and while i cant compare the 2 im not at all disapointed
Glad i chose Sony for my first pair of headphones. I am love bass and this headphones does not disappoint. ANC on this headphone is awesome as well! Definitely will be looking into Sony products again for my next upgrade :)
When the bass first thundered into my ear canal I was worried. When they say "Extra Bass" on the box, they weren't kidding. But fortunately, for those seeking a more balanced sound, the useful app sports a nice equalizer -among other things- where you can set the levels that suit you. The touchpad on the left side is a nice touch and this pair is comfortable for long listening sessions.
Where to begin. Ok so I first got me some "Alienware Gaming Headsets", I read the label wrong and thought I saw wireless capabilities, but its only wireless via a USB dongle. Again I was just disappointed because those were a up there in price.
And I was just surfing the Android phone and ran into these bad boys. I was just thinking to myself, they got nice padding on the ears, didn't expect much from them. When I got them, was I wrong, so wrong that they finally accomplished myself listening to music for over 2hrs.
The quality, durability, the way you use the "Wireless Headset" for volume\skip, is on the next level. And I did leave the best for last, these are beyond loud and might, just might give BOSE a challenge.
I got these free with a Sony Xperia 1 ll best headphones I've ever had for sound only thing they stop working about 6 months in had to go through the whole return process but finally got them replaced apart from that they are absolutely brilliant
I've had these headphones for several months and I'm really impressed. The battery seems to last forever and the sound quality is great. Unlike a few headphones I've tried, these don't try to cover up poor quality with artificially boosted bass. The NFC capability makes for seamless device switching, and the Bluetooth range is amazing. I can leave my phone downstairs and the connection is still perfect when I'm upstairs. Annoyingly, my tablet isn't NFC enabled, which makes for a bit of faffery.
Great sound, comfortable and cool looking phones. I bought these for work purposes but unfortunately it seems there is some kind of incompatibility with these headphones and windows 10 when using some meeting apps. I wouldnt buy them again, because of this, but I don't blame the phones or Sony. They're nice
I bought these about 4 weeks ago and I haven’t regretted it since. The sound is excellent, as well as the noise cancelling. But the best part is the battery; it really does last approximately 30 hours before needing a recharge.
I'm old enough to remember the days where you wanted to buy the biggest and heaviest headphones to get good sound! I have been resistant to upgrade my classic 90's headphones. Most headphones I have tried up till now have had poor battery performance. These have been working very well! I recently purchased a pair of of the WH-XB900's for my wife. She loved them. I found myself borrowing them, so I bought another. I use them to listen to albums when I want a clean quiet sound. They're light, comfortable an excellent for the noise in the house!!! Kids like movies and I can sit read and relax with my music! The only thing I would criticize is the hands free system. I wish I could disable it at some points so it doesn't get bumped. It's a good feature but needs an off button. Great job Sony!
imho worst sony headphones by far (in price range)
I bought this week ago, and like every year I'm disappointing by Sony, again. The sound quality is bad, really bad, sure I should not expect anything good in this price range, but this is Sony they don't do crappy things, but this really sounds like ch700 with extra pick somewhere around 100 Hz, the main problem is that U cant listen to them without getting headache quickly. DSP messes the sound with extra added harmonic distortion and for me its really painful to listen, and so so bass, please I still own old XB500 and XB700, compared to the old ones XB900N its a joke, if U care about SQ and your ears don't buy it
I bought this in winter and it did really great job, especially while using underground. However, as summer closes in, I feel that it is making my skin around my ears, a bit hot which actually sensible. Especially in sunny days. So far this is the only drawback I noticed, but sound and other features are super.
I got these brand new from Best Buy and I gotta say I’m not impressed and would return however idiot me lost my receipt. They constantly Interrupt the music and make a noise which I would think it would make with the battery dying only they are fully charged and constantly turn the ambient sound on. Definitely not worth the near 200 I paid for sound or quality wise but hey you live and learn
these were good for about a year and half for me. I finally got into some higher end audio and i realized these are for a very specific person. They have alright sound overall but they have an over abundance of base. They are really good if you want to listen to videos or podcasts or even if you are a casual listener on the move. The noise cancelling is prety good over all, it blocks out most loud constant noises. I work delivering boats and it cancels out the motors fantastically. The main problem with them that i didn't realize when i was buying them is that they are extremely base tuned. when I got into more balanced audio i realized that the base is not coming out of thin air it's taking away from the other instruments and vocals to create that base. I think if your a base head and do not mind loosing some soundstage in favor for more bass these headphones will do the trick, if not i would save the money and go for the 1000 xm3's or 4's depending on what you want to spend. finally the controls i loved when i first got them but now i hate it, you can't put a hood on when wearing the headphones or it will activate the filtering functions of the outside noise. long story short if you are into base heavy headphones in lew of fidelity or sound stage it is a great option but otherwise i would save up for the 1000 xm 3's/4's
Bought for solo music listenig/film viewing/noise cancelling. Easy to connect to phone, much more fiddly to connect to laptop (Huawei). Now both good but swapping between them a bit fiddly. Overall VERY pleased
I bought my Sony WH-XB900N headphones a week and a half ago and I am absolutely amazed at the high quality noise cancellation and sound quality. I was using the Sony WH-H900N before purchasing these for almost a year all day everyday. Those headphones were excellent as well, but I listen to a lot of hip hop and rap and I wanted a little more definition in the bass response. I am not disappointed whatsoever with the XB900n's and I recommend them to any fan of bass heavy headphones. Unlike Beats and Skullcandy the soundstage is excellent and the bass does not drown out the mids or highs at all. Sony hit the nail on the head with these wireless extra bass headphones and I can not see me upgrading to anything else except for the next pair of headphones to come out in the extra bass line. The microphone is also excellent for making phone calls and everyone tells me that my voice comes through crystal clear and there is little to no background noise even when I'm walking down the road with cars flying by and the wind roaring! I don't mind paying the retail price because I know that Sony products are top notch and they will last forever if they are properly taken care of. I also love the improvement of the noise cancellation from the WH-H900N to these WH-XB900N. You can tell how much time, focus, and money Sony puts into constantly improving their noise cancellation technology. These headphones are also a lot lighter and more comfortable for all day use than my previous pair. They fit nice and snug and don't move around my head at all.
Nice pair of headphones but the quality is a bit plasticky and feels cheap. The sound is very good though and I think the case it csme with couldve been a lot better as it offers no protection if dropped from a height.
Absolutely amazed by the build quality and the sound is simply amazing, noise cancelling is truly astounding, blocks out pretty much everything and the app you have to use to control them is really really good

It's been a few weeks already and this was a step up from an entry-level noise-reduction headphones I had before. It sure sounds much better, with nice balance across frequencies and good connection stability. The companion app starts automatically when you use the headphones with your smartphone. I'm a bit puzzled by the noise reduction, but I guess I just need to get used to it.
I was given the headphones as a gift and I love them. Use them every day and am really pleased with them. Looking forward to lying on a beach somewhere hot and listening to my music
