About the Sony MDR-XB950BT EXTRA BASS™
Have your bass and stream it, too
Have your bass and stream it, too
The Sony MDR-XB950BT headphones combine two things that our customers really love: wireless listening and deep, powerful bass. Bluetooth connectivity allows easy wireless connection between these headphones and your smartphone or tablet (and some computers, too). Roam free from your device (up to 30 feet away) while your music keeps playing. You can also take hands-free calls on your smartphone with the 'XB950BT. Earcup buttons keep you in control, so you can answer and hang up, adjust the volume, as well as play, pause, and skip tracks.
More bass when you want it
Some customers like headphones that deliver a heavy dose of bass all the time. But others like to pick and choose their spots for enhanced low frequencies. That's just what these headphones allow you to do. When you encounter a track that demands a little more bottom end, just press the Bass Boost button on the earcup. The built-in digital signal processor will work its magic, boosting the low frequencies and giving your music more bounce and punch.

Features
Overview: The Sony MDR-XB950BT Bluetooth wireless headphones let you enjoy your music without the hassle of dangling cables. The headphones have Bluetooth wireless technology, as well as the easy pairing of NFC. A switchable Electro Bass Boost function gives your music a more powerful sound when you want it. The soft earpads gently surround your ears for hours of comfort. The headphones come with a USB charging cable and an audio connecting cable for those times when you need to plug the headphones in.
Bluetooth: The MDR-XB950BTs feature Bluetooth 3.0 to wirelessly deliver crystal clear audio from a compatible digital music player, smartphone, tablet, or computer within a range of approximately 30 feet (10 meters). The headphones are compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles: Headset Profile (HSP), Hands-Free Profile (HFP), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). Built-in apt-X and AAC codec support provides maximum signal quality when streaming your audio wirelessly.
