The Sony WH-XB910N Wireless is the successor to the Sony WH-XB900N Wireless. Like their name suggests, they have a sound that is heavy on bass and gives your mixes a lot of thump, punch, and boom. But some people might find their sound too muddy, and the vocals and lead instruments might be too harsh.
The good news is that their companion app has a graphic EQ and presets to help you change the way they sound. They also have an active noise cancellation system (ANC) that works better than the one they replaced. It can block out a good amount of background noise.

Sony WH-XB910N review: Design
The Sony WH-XB910N are respectable over-ear headphones for daily use and short trips. They’re incredibly soft and well-constructed, and though they’re a bit cumbersome, they come with a hard case to keep them safe while you’re on the go. When it comes to filtering out the low rumbles of bus and plane engines, though, its ANC merely gives satisfactory noise isolation capability. You can buy this headphone from its official website.
Sony WH-XB910N review: Noise cancelling
The Sony Extra Bass line of headphones has been popular for a few decades, and Sony usually keeps its end of the deal by giving the headphones a lot of bass. This is great for bass fans, but what about the rest of us.
We used the Sony WH-XB910N for two weeks to see how it works, and it has a lot of other features that might make you want to buy it. With the right equalisation (EQ), this active noise-canceling (ANC) headset might be a sleeper hit.
Sony WH-XB910N review: Sound quality
The sound quality, and especially the bass, is what makes Sony headphones stand out. The WH-XB910N has a lot of it thanks to the Extra Bass technology. Sony also added their spatial audio and upscaling features to make music more lively and interesting.
On bass-heavy songs like “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson, the emphasis on the low end is felt right away. It makes sense that the catchy bassline and snare drums would pull you in right away. The more we listened to the record, the more we liked it, especially the clean-sounding adlibs and cymbals that stood out and went well with the funky production.
Sony WH-XB910N review: Battery life
The battery life of a device is an important feature these days. When it comes to headphones, battery life is even more important when they are wireless. Luckily, XB910 doesn’t let us down in this area. When ANC is turned on, the headphones can be used for about 2.5 days. They can be charged quickly, and the company offers a 10-minute quick charge that lets you play music for 4 hours.
Sony WH-XB910N review: Price and availability
The WH-1000XM4 is almost perfect and well worth the price. Still, we got the WH-XB910N, which has many of the best and worst things about the brand. The pros are more important than the cons, and $150 is a great price for this level of sound. If that isn’t enough for you, think about the cheaper and more complete Enduro ANC.
Final Words
The Sony WH-XB910N are good for trips and commuting. They’re very comfortable and well-made, and even though they’re a bit big, they come with a hard case to protect them when you’re on the go. But their ANC doesn’t do much to block out the low rumbles of bus and plane engines.

FAQs
Are the Sony WH-XB910N good for working out?
The Sony WH-XB910N are good for sports and exercise, but they weren’t made for that. Even though they fit well and are made well, they are big and not easy to carry. They can also come off if you move your head around a lot and don’t have an IP rating for water resistance.
How long does Sony WH-XB910N last?
How long does the battery in the Sony WH-XB910N last? With ANC on, our standard battery tests show that the WH-XB910N can be used for 37 hours and 9 minutes. This is a very good result, and Sony says that the headset can last up to 50 hours without ANC on.
Can XB910N support wireless charging?
It is compatible with a standard for wireless charging such as Qi. Putting the smartphone down on a charging pad that is compatible with it is all that is required to start the charging process.
