- Does the XB950B1 have noise cancellation?
- No. It relies on the closed over-ear cups for passive isolation. The listing's noise-canceling label is incorrect for this model.
- How long does the battery last?
- Sony rates it at up to 18 hours of wireless playback. Expect less at high volume or in cold weather.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes. A 3.5 mm cable lets you listen with the power off, which is useful on flights or when the battery is empty.
- Is it worth buying over the newer XB950N1?
- The XB950N1 adds active noise cancellation. If you commute in loud spaces, that model is the better pick; if you mainly want bass, the XB950B1 is the cheaper option.
- What comes in the box?
- Typically the headphones, a micro-USB charging cable, a 3.5 mm audio cable and a carrying pouch. Confirm contents with the seller for used or open-box units.
- When is it cheapest?
- Prices on this older model swing widely, and used or open-box units sell well below new stock. Watch the price history before buying.
