The Sony MDR-XB650BT is a comfortable Bluetooth headphone pair that excels at delivering seriously intense bass.

  Massive bass response. No distortion at top volume levels. Decent clarity in highs. Exceptionally comfortable.

  Bass is way too dialed-up to be accurate. No way to listen passively via an audio cable. No protective pouch.

Thanks to its price, ergonomic design, and overall sound quality, the Sony MDR-XB650BT is a good choice for bass lovers that are looking for a Bluetooth headset on the go. While the empowering bass and recessed mids might not please others, it is still a contender for its price range.

In this day and age, many people are looking at losing the wires. That’s also the case with audio devices, as the number of people who favour Bluetooth headphones are increasing. Sony is particularly good at making these and this time around we have the Sony MDR-XB650BT for review.

  Can get warm, Bass overpowering at times

I listen to a lot of podcasts and music at the day job. I’ve been using the same wired earbuds for years but my recent purchase of a Moto Z has led me to reevaluate things. Of course, I could just continue using the same earbuds with a 3.5mm>USB-C adapter but what’s the fun in that?

Sony makes headphone in all kinds of price ranges and the MDR-XB650BT is a reasonably priced wireless headphone with literally “” for music lovers who want intensity. This headphone is totally bass-ready and portable making it excellent for everyday use.

Good looks and built quality define the Sony MDR-XB650BT. Easy touch-pairing, built in high-fidelity microphone, mounted controls and an amazing battery backup make it one of the most friendly- to-use wireless headphones around.

  Poor-quality bass, Not great for exercise use

Sony has always been a pioneer when it comes to music. And the latest addition to its MDR range, the MDRXB650BT headphones, do its reputation no harm at all. We have seen many Bluetooth headsets but this one from the company is certainly eye catching for those who are looking for a stylish headset.

The Sony MDR-XB650BT is a decent pair of headphones, and delivers decently-balanced yet powerful audio delivery. The bass bias does sound jarring in certain areas, but for the most part, it succeeds in pleasing you with the audio.

  Decent audio balance, Powerful audio delivery, Big, booming bass

  Audio lacks warmth and tightness, Uncomfortable in extended wear, Buttons are difficult to operate

For me the product work fine. Sound was very solid and distinct bass. I was told that the audio quality on phone calls wasn't as good as a wired headphone but I I'm going by my caller's word. Otherwise I am fine listening to music on them.

  Comfortable, Compact, Good Bass, Good Value, Great Sound, Lightweight, Stylish

They sound nice when listening to music but that's about it. Terrible call quality, a lot of the time the person I'm talking to says they keep hearing their own voice as some type of echo and its very distracting, apparently, and when you try using them during a call along listening to any sort of...

Bought for my son Best present ever. I even borrow them if I can Great comfortable fit Bluetooth is the best feature

Excellent Acoustic headphones

Before buying note that these are NOT "Over Ear" headphones as the title suggests. Headphones are also quite loose and not suitable for wearing unless you are stationary. Very disappointed!

Product perfect.

Loved these headphones for the 10 months they lasted. Beautiful crisp sound, decent battery life, good connectivity. After pretty light use at work for almost a year, one side no longer works. Gutted.
