Sony WH-XB900N review: Headphones that scales a spectacular new low in bass

The Sony WH-XB900N comes highly-recommended for everyday use -- music, movies or otherwise -- especially for its 30-hour battery life and a price tag of Rs 16,990

The XB900N are best used with a smartphone, Apple or Android, because of the customisations that the Sony Connect app allows

Sony’s WH-XB900N is not for the faint-hearted. Expect shockwaves the first time you put them on, especially if you are not careful with the content you play. Start with something mellow like Feeling Good by Nina Simone and experience the trumpet surrounding her powerful vocals before you move to AC/DC. Unless, of course, you plan to be thunderstruck. Millennials, try Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy or Old Town Road by Lil Nas X and you’ll know what I am talking about. It’s the best bass from Sony’s line-up, and arguably the meanest, bass-first over-ear headphones in the market.
