According to our headphones expert
The Sony MDR-XB650BT headphones combine a deep bass sound with wireless freedom you can enjoy for hours. The bass tones are extra powerful thanks to the Bass Booster technology, which you hear well in dance music. Stream songs from your phone thanks to the Bluetooth connection with NFC. Your headphones just have to briefly touch a smartphone featuring NFC. The battery provides 30 hours of listening joy. Feel free to play a whole DJ set. Thanks to the flexible headband and soft ear cushions, the MDR-XB650BT is suitable to wear for a long time. There are buttons on the ear cups to control your music and make hands-free phone calls.

A top device. The wearing comfort is great, although it can become disturbing for glasses wearers (myself) after a long time due to the pressure that is exerted on the legs of your glasses.
I bought this unit for what I would call a 'small' price for a good pair of headphones, yet I was blown away by the quality of the sound. the mids are excellent and Sony has done a good job on the bass boost. Still, I sometimes have the feeling that some bass tones come out weak at times, I bought a Skullcandy crusher when it fell and was broken and, although this is still a different story, I don't suffer from tones that drop out with that device.
Still, people who are not audio freaks and like good bass will be very satisfied with these headphones, because the disappearing tones can of course also be just me :).

Sound: from the first moment it is noticeable that the bass is very present, but fortunately just not dominant, the middle tones are neat but nothing spectacular and with the highs the same story, now there is only so much you can enjoy in these price ranges expect in my opinion.
bluetooth: connecting to the phone went smoothly and without problems, but sometimes the signal drops for half a second, and a click can be heard when changing numbers, which may also be due to my phone. This is my first bluetooth headphone so can't say if this happens more often with other models from the same budget.
wear Comfort in principle fine, the headphone is very light and the thin but soft padding on the earcups and headband ensure that it fits well I would not recommend this model for people who wear glasses and plan to listen to music for a longer period of time, because it does get stuck after a while

Very pleasantly surprised at the wearing comfort and sound quality. It says there is no noise canceling. Firstly, I don't hear any noise and secondly, a lot of ambient noise is muffled. You have to hold the on/off button for 7 seconds to pair with bluetooth, a bit weird, but you get used to it.
