Features for the Sony MDR-XB950BT/B
There are vents on the product unit which facilitate the circulation of air at low frequency, thereby optimizing the effectiveness of the diaphragm to allow a more accurate reproduction of bass rhythms.
There is a button on the product unit which can be pressed to increase the Bass output significantly, although using this extra utility is absolutely optional as it is not mandatory for one to use it in order to enjoy the full power of these headphones.
With Bluetooth technology, you can wirelessly connect the headset over a short range of distance to a compatible device, provided that the connection will not be interrupted by objects within the signal path.
Once the wireless connection has been established, you can listen to your favorite music on your headphones from your smartphone or tablet. With NFC connectivity, establishing these wireless connections could not be easier. All that is required with NFC (Near Field Communications) is for the user to simply position the NFC-enabled device in contact with the headset for quick connection and tap on the NFC icon in order activate or deactivate pairing of the devices. Subsequently, you can start broadcasting your content via Bluetooth.
Also, hands-free phone calls can be done while still listening to music with these headphones.

Changing the music tracks and switching between music and telephone calls can be done easily without having to remove the headphones.

It delivers a good bass sound but one that is not at all overbearing and it seems to work well when it is used to listen to most genres of music.
These are a top of the line headphones being offered at a reasonable price. I make no hesitation to recommend these for audiophiles who like to have a little bit of bass in their music.
