Sony WH-XB910N Extra BASS Noise Cancellation Headphones Wireless Bluetooth Over The Ear Headset with Mic, Alexa Voice Control, Google Fast Pair, AUX & Swift Pair, 30Hrs Battery Life (2022 Model)-Blue

I am writing this review after a whole month of use. So do read till the end. I wrote few tips to improve the sound quality too at the end.Pros: 1. Good quality ANC. Completely blocks low frequency noises.2. Very good sound quality (require little bit of tweaking on Sony app, see my screenshots posted above)3. Very felixible, good passive noise cancelling through ear cups.4. Ear cups are of very good quality and can support big stick out ears too.5. Hard case for travel friendliness and protection.6. Awesome microphone quality for a bluethooth headphone. Blocks lots of external noises for phone calls.Cons: 1. Less premium plasticy build (although it is very turdy)2. Default equalizer does not sound great. One must tweak it or atleast use "Bright" equalizer preset mode in sony app.3. It can not block high frequency noises that well. If you need complete noise cancellation shell out 30k and purchase XM5. Do not look for 30k quality ANC in a 10k headphone. Set your expectations accordind to budget.Tips: 1. For android users out there: Must turn on LDAC on your bluetooth settings. After pairing with this headphone, go to your bluetooth setting in phone settings. Then settings for WH-XB910N. There under the codecs option turn on LDAC.2. In Sony App DO NOT TURN ON "Connect 2 devices simultaneously" option. It will disable LDAC and sound quality will be degraded.3. In sony-headphone-app turn on DSEE mode.4. In sony-headphone-app, for bluetooth connection quality, Choose "Priority on Sound quality"5. I have put an image of my personal manual equalizer settings. Use that or modify it as your ear likes. If you do not like bass, reduce the clear bass all the way to 0 for phone calls. Save 2 custom equalizer, one for music/movie with bass boost, another for zoom call/video call/regular call with 0 bass. (Thank me later for these tips)These 5 setting tweak will change the music quality drastically. Check my screenshots posted above for guidance.Final verdict: Those who do not tweak these settings they will keep complaining about this headphone. But this is the best 10k I have ever spent on a gadget. S0ny wins hearts.

Quality :- headphones are well built and a thing of beauty for sure though i doubt the band's sturdyness a little bit in long run...Fit :- As a one who wear glasses the fit in really natural and clamping force is not much. The earmuffs are reallyyyyyyyy soft and premium but yea for a duration of more then 2 hours they'll start to feel uncomfy and you might need to give your ears some rest...Portability :- Best part is the sturdy hard case you can just throw your headphones in the case and need not to worry about them.. The case material is really good and looks hella classy...Battery life :- On a single charge on medium to heavy usage they delivers solid battery backup even when anc on... Though i not let the battery completely die on me and frequently charge them if they get below 30%SOUND :- Ok so if you are not much of a basshead (which we all are at some point) even then you can buy these headphones cause yeah you get the sony's custom app for Equalizing the sound to your preference..the highs and mids are too good...good instrumental sepration. Though the only thing that i found bit odd is the sound source always feel really close and does not resonate much (but surely not a dealbreaker)Bass as u expect is really good BUT it's more on a rumbling side rather then thumping (depends on personal choice) but the bass is exceptionally good..CONS:-1. The sounds quality changes a bit when switched to ANC specially the bass boosts up which sometimes sounds unnatural when switching to anc in midst of a song2. I've never used an anc headphone so maybe its a personal thing but when the ANC is turned on and if there's a significant BG noises then the headphones starts to vibrate (like bass rumble) which i found odd. Though resetting it fixed the issue but it do happens a lot.3. Touch controls sometimes (rarely)happens to be inaccurate, specially covering the earcup to switch to ambient noise feature.4.I personally don't like the looks of the headphone when wearing them they dont look much discreet (compare with 1000xm4 you'll understand what i mean)VERDICT :- I bought these for 13,000 but if they happens to cost more then that just go for the 1000xm4
