All Rolled Into One
Headhones serve to uplift our spirits during training or journey, that's why the quality of the sound is essential. Sony MDRXB950BT/B has all the specifications needed to satisfy even the most exacting customer. This model is really unique, as it successfully combines 2 devices: wireless earphones and a headset. Wireless connection alas cannot provide quality as high as wired connection, but it is still above all praise. Here the wired connection provides frequency range from 3 Hz to 28,000 Hz, wheras the wireless connection has standard 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. So, if you want to enjoy incredible bass and best sound quality possible, use these headphones with the cable. If you don't find it comfortable, remember, the quality loss won't be dramatic anyway and so, it's always better to go with what suits you personally best.
All notifications coming from your smartphone do stop the music, but make it a bit softer and return the volume to the previous position after several seconds. An incoming call pauses the music automatically, giving you a chance to take a call. After conversation is over, music resumes playing from the same place where it's been paused. If you are in search of a versatile media device, these Sony headphones are the best choice for you!
Sony Knows Everything About the Sound
Sony has always had a name for its audio equipment and the company success story began with audio devices. Nowadays Sony has set numerous courses from smartphones to consoles and 4K TVs, where they are quite successful too. But the start of the portable audio era was made by Sony. Their first portable device was famous Walkman who'd be now already 35 years ago. The player could be used anywhere and worked off only several batteries. Needless to say, Walkman device soon conquered the market and in a way gave birth to modern iPods, etc.

Who knows music better than musicians? Beats is a company, created by a famous rap singer Dr. Dre. He used to be in a band N.W.A with Ice Cube and MC Ren, who formed the gangsta rap genre. It took Beats just a couple of years to touch the heights of the headphones market by making quality production. The company has even developed and patented its own technology, which improves the sounding of music. Even the worldwide famous Hewlett-Packard used this technology, called Beats Audio, integrating it into their devices. And some HTC smartphones go with original Beats earphones by Dr.Dre, by the way. Nowadays Beats Electronics is the property of Apple. This suggests that the quality of Dr.Dre's earphones has been approved by millions of people all over the world!

Professional Quality
Over-ears are used not only for entertainment, favorite music and games. They can serve professional musicians to monitor the sound in music workshops. How do they work? Many vocalists use phonograms, transferred directly from the mixer board while recording vox. This allows coming into step and recording vox with the highest accuracy. Of course, the sound quality of such headphones should be above all praise. Just as Audio-Technica ATH-M50x has. The specs of these headphones provide high detail sounding, which will be useful for musicians. The 1.7" diameter of the driver can reduce a lot of outside noises, allowing users to hear all aspects of the recorded track. This model is popular among DJs, who just cannot be satisfied with a mediocre product.
Music Nation
Japan is famous for a big number of outstanding manufacturers such as Sony, Yamaha and others. The rivalry level in this field is just extremely high, so it takes a lot of efforts to gain customers' attention. Audio-Technica is no exception, but it is still one of the leaders in the market of microphones. Audio-Technica mics are widely used during various grand events like Grammy where musicians make live performances without phonograms. The company has been in the market since 1974 and knows all traps and pitfalls of the manufacturing process pretty well; this long-year experience is what actually makes their final products so brilliant.
Word of Advice
High impedance (38 Ω) means that this pair of headphones would sound better if used with professional equipment such as mixing consoles, which can handle top-quality data transfer at high volume. Any regular smartphone won't be able to cope with such high impedance and unlock the potential of this device to the full.

If you want to get the best sounding of your vocal, use a professional microphone to be sure that the sound pickup is unbeatable!

Distinctive Design
Round ear pads are the standard solution for modern headphones. They completely cover ears and provide excellent sound performance. Sennheiser though decided to go beyond standards and produced HD 202 II headphones with soft ear pads of elliptic shape. Many users found this new shape much more attractive, but the best thing is that they still sound excellent. Owing to soft ear pads, it's easy to wear these headphones for hours without lassitude. It's also simple to change the pad in case it wore out. We also liked Sennheiser's approach to headphone adjustment where a user can customize their fit simply by moving the earphones themselves. A cool idea!
The headphones have 2 input connectors (one in each earphone), which enables well-balanced and clear final sound. In case a native cable is too long, there's a special cord take-up, which allows winding the cable and use headphones without any discomfort.
Interesting Fact
Sennheiser is a living legend among companies, which produce audio equipment. It has been created in 1945 by a German engineer Fritz Sennheiser and, as it often happens with the Germans, it became the symbol of diligence in a short while. This is why nowadays Sennheiser has become one of the most popular brands and any product of this company finds a quick sale. Today the company is headed by Sennheiser's son, who took the ball and runs with it.
More Products to Consider
Some laptops lack standard 3.5 mm audio connectors, so if you are going to use these headphones with your device, you may need a stereo adapter.

What Are Over-Ear Headphones?
Headphones are a sound output device, which delivers sound straight to our ears. There are a lot of different types of earphones nowadays: some of them have large ear pads and drivers for proper sound quality, others are designed for use on trips and journeys. This is where the active noise reduction technology is heavily used. The headphones with this technology have an additional microphone on the exterior of the driver, which reads the external sound and sends it to the processing unit to invert the noise. Thanks to this process you can enjoy listening to noise-free music.

What Features to Compare
Type
To choose headphones of your dream you should decide how you will use them. There are several types of design, each making the headphones serve a special purpose. Sport earphones are light and wireless, but the sound quality is not as good as it could be. On the other hand, large headphones are quite often poorly adapted for outdoor use, though sound quality isn't bad at all, owing to a large driver and excellent general sound specs. Large and comfortable ear pads can reduce a lot of external sounds, ensuring excellent sound performance and providing a feeling of comfort. All these features allow you to use large headphones for a long time without overfatigue. There are also wireless modifications, which can transfer sound data via Bluetooth, but they have time limitations due to battery performance.
Sound Parameters
Sound specifications are the key element you should consider when choosing headphones. A wide frequency range will add low and high frequencies to the sound and give it more colors. If the headphones have 3Hz - 28 kHz, the low frequencies will be of maximum quality and bass will be literally tremendous. And of course, the high frequencies will deliver the minute particulars of the music you listen to. The next important element is impedance, which serves to transfer sound data from the input device to the headphones. If we have 2 sets of headphones, the first with 32 Ω impedance, and the second - with 24, the second will sound louder, because the sound signal will meet a lesser number of impediments.
Additionally
Package and specifications of various headphones may differ, but as a rule, manufacturers add a lot of useful accessories and supplements to improve sound quality and extend working lifespan of the device. One of such supplements is the NFC technology, which makes it possible to connect headphones to a smartphone in a mere second just by bringing two devices close to each other. Thanks to this technology, smartphone control can be performed right from the headphones and there's no need to take the phone out each time from your bag or pants' pocket.
