        AnonD-94869, 16 Nov 2016I prefered instead to buy Beats Mixr already perfect tuned,... moreMoreover, if you are really into audio (an audiophile) just go for a dedicated DAC with FLAC and AIFF support e.g. FIIO.

        Also, a wired headphone will offer you more refined sound (read: no compression) anyday than a wireless one.

          ethereal, 16 Nov 2016XB stands for extra base. So expecting perfect mids and hig... moreI for one was seeking mild mids and highs with some warm thump which the 650 perfectly delivers to me. For more balanced sound the equalizer works quite well for me. So overall Im happy with my purchase.

          Whenever I plan to upgrade I shall go for audio technica. No other brand.

            AnonD-94869, 16 Nov 2016I prefered instead to buy Beats Mixr already perfect tuned,... moreXB stands for extra base. So expecting perfect mids and highs from it will just be an injustice. People looking for an all rounder shall not go for it in the first place.

I do not have eq on my htc 10. And believe me, ANY eq setting will ever can save a sony xb model to sound horrible !!!

                  AnonD-101525, 15 Nov 2016check the Sony XB950bt, It has super amazing sound qualityI had all Xb line from sony: xb 500,600,700,800,1000. Bass is bloated and almost zero mids and highs. All were rubbish, especially xb 600 and 800. The best sounding was xb 700. No more sony xb or jvc xx for me. Sony 1R sounds good.

                    ethereal, 15 Nov 2016That was too bulky and more bass. Whereas, I found the 650 ... morewell. its your valid idea, we can use 950 with the wire also in case of battery shortage, secondly, it is more comfortable than 650, i compared both at Sony center 950 is lot superior. 650 is also very good choice but 950 in at high end.

                      AnonD-101525, 15 Nov 2016why not you get 950 ??That was too bulky and more bass. Whereas, I found the 650 to be more balanced.

                      Not to mention the 650 are a newer model from Sony.

Until i discovered Beats Mixr, i had over 10 pairs of Sennheiser. Nothing special, just stiff cables, very cheap plastic, ear cushions peeling off in a few month, very low volume. Just shit. I am so sick of these stereotypes. I love Beats' sound. Period. Get lost with your poor opinions, i am not interested anymore.

For example, you can't say that the M50X is objectively better than the DT770 Pro. It's a matter of preference. However, you can't say that the Solo3 is better than either of them. It's just objectively not true. And just because you *prefer* Beats over them, it doesn't make it true. Just like even though I *prefer* closed-back headphones, open headphones are objectively better sound-wise.
