Wow. So for those, the bass is good too with clarity of the mids and highs? Read your review, sounds really cool! Amazing how those can perform better than on ear headphones! Are there any other similar options for those iem’s?

Sony MDR-XB950N1 Extra Bass Headphones review - TechRadar

The Microphone as I am told sounded like it was my house phone to the rest of my family, which isn’t really great, but not nearly as bad as my iPhone 5s for example that I’ve used to compare with. Not as good as my Samsung S3, but certainly better than Apple’s cellphones in outgoing audio quality. This means that the sound quality of my voice as appearing to others is only a bit better than average cell phone audio quality. Bonus Sadly, these are the only way to get it to work and its still hit and miss with lots of products that have these functions just not jiving with it and causing hiss and static. On wired connection on flat EQ, the bass is still powerful and satisfying but I found it incredible that the mids and treble were not lost behind the potent low end. Now on to a few issues i have with the product. To preface this, i have owned my headphones for just over a month, and i treat them well. Hi adam! Sadly no, right now the Bluetooth and the Microphone functions are not compatible with anything but Bluetooth enabled portable devices.Nothing on the market is quite like it in that price tier and I want desperately for Sony to make a brand new Flagship with vastly improved everything over the XB950BT, but one that retains that yummy and fun tonality, epic bass, and great liveliness in the midrange.

Sorry for the bump but I just bought these and am not having that issue with my Macbook Air. Do you still have these and are you still having the issue with the MBP? I’m curious which MBP you have that they aren’t working with. For me, the initial pairing process is always weird and takes a few tries. But they are successfully paired with my iPhone6+, 2011 iMac and 2014 Air. There are sets out there that are much more recessed in the midrange, ones that offer that damned U-shape sound signature that is god awful, so it feels weird to me to hear the XB950BT’s mids and treble walk hand in hand behind the powerful bass. Staging It scared the crap out of me when I’d accidentally pressed it one day and had my WMP program pop up without me ever touching the keyboard or mouse. When I'm doing competitive gaming I connect a V-MODA BoomPro Mic (picture attached) so that I can use a mic and have perfect 0-latency sound. It turns this fantastic headphone into a fantastic gaming headset. IMPORTANT NOTE: when you first plug the wired connection in, the headset always turns itself off by default. Yeah, it'll work fine that way, but you lose the extra bass and noise reduction. But guess what? If you just turn the headset on again it enables the extra bass and noise reduction WHILE WIRED! Maybe this is obvious to some people, but it was a total revelation for me. It was a literal game-changer.

The headphone comes with a 1.3 meter 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable for wired use, as well as a typical micro USB cable for charging. Sadly, no USB Bluetooth dongle for PC usage was included.
