Product details

Stay as close as possible to the music you love. With its exceptional bass and enhanced noise-canceling system, WH-XB910N headphones reproduce the feel of a festival or club.
The WH-XB910N noise-canceling headphones enhance all your low-frequency sounds for exceptional bass. The special Bass Duct design of the diaphragms helps create an energetic sound with every song. These wireless headphones help maintain vocal clarity for an exceptional audio experience. With dual-microphone noise detection technology, the WH-XB910N takes digital noise cancellation to another level. Now you can truly cut yourself off from your surroundings and enjoy your music like you're in a bubble. With Precise Voice Pickup technology that combines two integrated microphones and advanced audio signal processing, the WH-XB910N delivers crystal clear calls. When the music source is compressed, the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to the song are lost. DSEE technology faithfully reproduces these elements for high-quality sound, close to the original recording. Customize the sound to your liking. Choose from several presets and find the right audio quality for the genre you're listening to, or create your own with Sony's Custom EQ │ Headphones Connect. With dual direct and feedback microphones, the WH-XB910N picks up more ambient noise. Enjoy a natural audio experience while staying open to your surroundings. Adjust noise reduction with the Sony app | Headphones Plug in to reduce noise while listening to important sounds. Adaptive Sound Control is a smart feature that detects your environment and activity to adjust noise reduction settings for the perfect audio experience. Over time, Adaptive Sound Control detects the places you frequent, like your office, gym, or favorite coffee shop, and adjusts the sound to match the environment. The included carrying case is durable and includes a cable for wired listening.

The WH-XB910N just missed out on the top spot. The Sony headphones have a lot to offer, such as clever noise-cancelling and an enormous battery life. Not so good, however, is the bass-heavy sound of the Sony. At least listeners can tame the bass somewhat with the help of the tidy app.
