Sony XB950BT. I'm sure some audiophile will come along and recommend something better where you can actually hear the musician's hair growing for only four times the price, but these are only a little over $100 and sound pretty great to me. I don't know what technical terms to use to describe the audio quality. Good range? I like the bass, and there's a Bass Boost button if the standard bass isn't cutting it. 20 hours of battery, an aux-in port so you can plug them directly into a stereo jack, NFC pairing... Highly recommended. They do a good job of passive noise reduction as well.
Maybe all BT headphones in that price range are just as good, and maybe I'm just biased because this is the pair I ended up with. I tried out a few at Best Buy and liked these best (except for the Bose, but those weren't in my budget). Sony has never let me down.

My wife got these for me for Christmas and they are the best headphones I have ever owned. Not noise-cancelling but great isolation and very comfortable. Sound quality is great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MCHE38O/
My [wireless Skullcandy Crushers] (https://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-Bluetooth-Headphones-Microphone-Adjustable/dp/B01DWH77GC/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1525612489&sr=1-3&keywords=skullcandy+crusher) give out unreal bass which you can adjust through a bass-slider, while the treble and mids are good enough. As far as I know, these are the best sound quality WIRELESS headphones with an emphasis on bass at it's price on the market, primarily beating out the Sony XB950B1 extra bass with overall sound and build quality, and with the extra option of a slider on the Crushers.
It's around 150 bucks so I'm not sure if it's within your price range. I know skullcandy gets alot of shit, and there are definitely better choices out there in terms of better overall sound quality, but the slider and the wireless capabilities at this price were enough to sell me on these.
edit: I notice the Sony's are around 100 bucks now on Amazon, instead of 150 like when I last checked the price. If the extra 50 bucks is an issue, these are also perfectly adequate alternatives.
These Sony, bluetooth headphones are on sale right now!
I see. Personally, I picked up these during Black Friday for use at the gym. Though, they were on sale for $99.99 when I got them.
They're pretty nice since they're Bluetooth and don't have to worry about cables. They're also really comfortable. They are a bit big, but no one really stares at other people at the gym anyway. If you like exaggerated bass, these are pretty nice, though you can turn off the exaggerated bass as well. I like them a lot, but I mostly listen to EDM with the exaggerated bass on.
I've tried listening to other genres of music with it with the exaggerated bass turned off and while the sound quality I feel is still pretty good, it is still a bit of a letdown compared to how great these sound when you listen to EDM.
I actually bought them at my local Best Buy. They had a demo of these headphones up so if there's a Best Buy near you, it may be worth checking out.

The white icon on the left is were I tap my phone, the phone needs to be unlocked and the Headphone doens't need to be on and I just tap my phone and the phone boots up and in sync.
You should check out the [Sony MDRXB950BT/B] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MCHE38O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_aEd7wb6PZ7029). Really good reviews, long Bluetooth life and has a 3.5" jack for direct listing without using the battery.
I bought the SONY MDRXB950BT recently and I'm very happy with them. Here's my review.
maybe check out Audio-Technica ATH-S700BT (head-fi reviews) or Sony MDR-XB950BT if you like DAT BASS
Audio headphones are better than gaming, just get a mod mic or another mic that's usb for your desktop.
This is what I'm getting personally with a blue yeti mic, I could use this for my phone as well.

I am in the market for a new pair of over-ear BlueTooth headphones after my last pair (a Sony MDRXB950BT/B ) had a hinge break recently.
Budget - $250ish (flexible)
Source - iPhone X (BlueTooth)
Isolation - No requirement for noise cancelling. Needs to keep noise in though.
Usage - At work (quiet office), traveling (plane)
Type - Full Size Wireless (over-ear)
Tonal Balance - Balanced is good, but a little extra bass is better.
Past Headphones - Sony MDRXB950BT/B (see above) - I really liked these headphones as far as comfort and performance goes, but they barely lasted 2 years of gentle use before breaking (never dropped, always stored in a hard-shell carrying case).
Music Preference - A wide range from EDM (Louis the Child, CMC$, San Holo) to Alt/Rock (Thrice, Brand New, QotSA) to Rap (Drake, J Cole, Curren$y) to Jazz (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald).
Improvements / Objectives - See above re: Sonys. I would like something a little higher quality for my next setup, otherwise I am tempted to get an exact replacement a couple model years newer.
Current Research (feedback appreciated) - I am a big fan of the styling and reported durability of B&O Play H7's ($280), and like I mentioned before I liked my Sonys well enough to consider the Sony XB950B1. Bose QC 35ii's are a little out of my price range (and not that aesthetically pleasing imho). But I'm sure there are a bunch of other options out there that I haven't considered yet too!
Any recommendations, experience, or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I really like these:
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00MCHE38O
They are bluetooth, have built-in controls, microphone, excellent bass, and when you turn them even halfway up it drowns out a heck of a lot of noise. I also find them to be pretty comfortable for many hours of wearing during a work day.
I've been using these Sony MDRXB950BT Heaphones for a while, they're fantastic if you want something Bluetooth with an especially good bass response. I love 'em. I also have a pair of Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds, and I absolutely love them as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00MCHE38O
These sound incredible for being in the ~$100 range. You’ll hear new sounds in even the most familiar songs. And the bass boosting feature is perfect for bass heavy tracks. It gives just the right amount of womp without drowning out any other parts of the track.
You can find them a lot cheaper on eBay too. I think mine were about $80 shipped.
Sorry i think there was confusion here, I was talking about headphones and you were talking about cell phones.
The second review on this page addresses a consistently recurring issue that Sony not only refuses to respond to, but also refuses to cover in their warranty.

These are pretty nice. You have to use the included wire for 3D audio in VR, but you can use wireless BT audio for non VR games, as well as your phone. There's also a built-in mic which is nice.

Someone has a comment among the top ones where he explains in detail how he fixed them. He basically glued a 2 x 1 cm piece of metal with super glue on the hinge.

Amazing sound quality, optional audio cable, 7 Buttons, very comfortable

I just got these after reading this review about them. I'm absolutely in love. I had a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones before that were ok, but the sound on these are amazing. And I like that I can plug an aux cord into the headphones and use them if the battery dies. It claims 20 hours of playback and 4 hours to fully charge from dead, so that's pretty good. I know Amazon says they're sold out, but I got mine for the same price at Best Buy.
Hey guys and gals, help would be appreciated. I understand that wireless is not popular here, but these are meant to be used only when I'm exercising or commuting.
Budget: $140-$200
Usage: Working out/commuting.
Source: Phone via bluetooth.
Type: Over-ear, wireless.
Preferred music: I would rather be watching TV shows and movies, but with some rap and hip hop, maybe some rock.
Past headphones: Cheap earbuds.
Sound isolation: Loud gym floor.
Location: New York City, USA
Headphones that I've looked into:

Do you know when is the deadline to buy the sale?
Hello all, I need some purchasing help on a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. She mentioned that she would like some nice headphones, and I am trying to find something she would appreciate without breaking my budget. I've been looking at these Bose SoundTrue and this pair of Sony's. I'm pretty far out of my element here and could really use the advise. One requirement is that they have to be somewhat stylish or she will never use them. Thanks in advance for the help.
Budget: $150 max
Source: Android phone, PC, laptop
Requirements for Isolation: Not a huge necessity but it would be nice if they were moderately isolating
Preferred Type of Headphone: Over-ear
Preferred tonal balance: She really likes bass
Past headphones: All super cheap ear buds, I have a pair of Monoprice 8323 that she isn't a fan of because they're not very comfortable
Preferred Music: She listens to everything, but most commonly R&B and pop
Would Like to Improve: Anything would be an improvement over her cheap gummy earbuds
Got these for my son for christmas. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MCHE38O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_AE-HwbVC45GG1 Sony Bluetooth with a built in mic, with a 3.5 mm jack to use with xbone. He seems to like them.
If you got the money I recommend these. They have great bass to them. Way more bass than the M50s. Getting a good pair of headphones is worth it.

Here's a review http://youtu.be/927pyLrHmc8
I bought these Sony MDRXB950BT's at my local Best Buy after hearing some good reviews about them. When I arrived home, I quickly opened the box and used the included wire cable to listen to some music (it is originally a BT headphone). I tried a large variety of genres and I can safely say that they are a good buy for the price at $200 (especially considering the wireless feature); the bass is very rich and the mids and highs sounded very good! Although more emphasis is on bass, it is essentially a headphone for any preference. The noise cancelling is not as good as headphones such as the Bose QuietComfort 25 (which I tried at the store) but it still does a good enough job of keeping sound out. I would recommend these to anyone, especially bass lovers such as myself.
what about these?
I have these sony extra bass headphones but recently broke them after a year. So im looking for a replacement.
EDIT: Didn't mean to reply to you haha but if anyone can answer me that would be nice.
Sony XB950BT's. I love mine, and they have some insane bass.
Edit: YouTube Review (not mine). Amazon Link (non-affiliate).
The answer will probably disappoint you. They're pretty good headphones with an amazing sound quality and great bass.
I'm not an audiophile so I can't give you professional grade advice, but I have a friend who is and he recommends these.
i would recommend these over the ear headphones:
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00MCHE38O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482388011&sr=8-1&keywords=950bt
Got a Best Buy gift card for my birthday, its about $100, so I decided to get a new pair of headphones with it. So the big restriction is that I must be able to buy them at Best Buy. They can be gaming or not, idc as long as they dont look awful or have a big honking mic.
-Budget: $120>, but I can be flexible
-Source: PC and iPhone. While on PC, they MUST be wireless, but on my iPhone a wire is fine.
-Requirements for Isolation: I prefer closed headphones, but they dont have to be noise canceling. Also, I only prefer closed headphones, I am willing to fuck with open.
-Will you be using these Headphones in Public?: Yes, but really just while on public transportation, planes, trains,
automobiles.-Preferred Type of Headphone: Over-ear, definitely no on ear or in ear.
-Preferred tonal balance: Definitely more balanced, but anything as fine as long as the bass isnt muddy.
-Past Headphones: Sony Things, Bose Soundtrue, Razer Krakens, Razer Orcas. Idk probably others, cant remember.
-Preferred Music: Typically classic rock/metal.
-What would you like to improve on from your setup: I have had leather pad headphones for a while, which get really hot. I would like to try mesh or different types of padding.

Are these the ones you have? This model has no "T" at the end:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-xb950b1-extra-bass-wireless-over-the-ear-headphones-black/5739304.p?skuId=5739304
On Amazon they're listed as interchangeable ... https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00MCHE38O
They look a little heavy: are they?
For Bluetooth headphones you generally want to look at Sony and Philips. I should warn you though the sound quality is often lacking with Bluetooth headphones since Bluetooth doesn't have much bandwidth.
That being said here's an example
My biggest problem with Sony is that I have the Sony NBxSTDHIV9000-1, which is a pretty decent noise cancelling wireless headphone, but I can't use them in any fashion with my PS4.
I've never been a fan of earbuds, except my cheap 20$ MPow Swift gym earbuds. The Apple earbuds never fit, the cheaper ones just hurt and I never wanted to spend $ to find out more expensive earbuds did the same thing. If you're not set on earbuds and are open to headphones, I'm a huge fan of my Sony MDR-XB950BT.
https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00MCHE38O
I wear them for 7+ hrs a day at work, every day.
Budget - No limit
Source - Smartphone (onePlus phones, iPhones)
Requirements for Isolation - For on the go, public transport, work area.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-size, wirelss preferred but not mandatory.
Preferred tonal balance - overall balance, some good bass.
Past headphones - SONY MDRXB950BT and Sennheiser HD598+modmic.
Preferred Music - Techno, rock, metal.
What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I love the sony's but I need to use those headphones for long period of times and for conf calls. The microphone grabs all sound (omnidirectional) and makes me sound inside a Costco with just minor voice chat around.
I am looking for an alternative to the SONY's if I can find some with better isolating microphone.
I'm looking for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones. I travel a lot with my marching band and its overall easier to listen to music on the long bus rides without having to deal with cords and wires. I'm going to primarily be playing music off of my phone because of its storage space so the actual music player is not that advanced. The headphones have to be good at isolating sound (loud band bus) but I don't want to damage my ears by having them so loud. I was looking at two headphones in particular and was wondering on your opinions:
The Bose Soundlink On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones
Sony MDRXB950BT/B Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset
Budget - Up to $250
Source - Samsung Galaxy Avant Smart Phone, tablet for watching movies, Nintendo 3DS for mobile gaming.
Requirements for Isolation - A lot, loud band bus rides.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over the ear or On the ear (as long as it does not hurt after hours of use)
Preferred tonal balance -I really do like bass for my Hip Hop stuff, but I want some balance for my other genres of music. I listen to a lot of Jazz and Classical as well as R&B.
Past headphones - I'm using Auvio Elite series headphones now from radioshack. Sometimes it feels like my music is far away, the bass isn't as good as I want it, has decent isolation.
Preferred Music - Mostly Hip-Hop, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Classical. I also dab into Pop, Rock, Alternative, J-Pop, Electronic
I heard the Bose headphones at best buy using my own music and I really liked them. My only concern is that because they are open headphones that I would be forced to turn them up very loud in order to block outside noise and I don't want to be very damaging to my ears. With my current headphones which are closed ear at most I have to turn up my music 3/4 of the volume. I heard the Sony Headphones only with the preview tracks at Best Buy and that did not have the bass boost on for me to try out. I'm weary about that one because I don't know how it will sound with my music specifically and my device specifically so I don't know if it will be a good match. Also my laptop does not have bluetooth so it's an extra bonus if the headphones have cord adapters so I can use them on my laptop or other computers/devices.
Looking for the best quality wireless headphones that are durable enough for the gym, within 1-3 hundred dollars. I don't need a super neutral sound, preferably a little on the bass side. Currently looking at these.

I ordered Sony XB950BT Extra Bass headphones and currently I'm waiting for delivery. Are they any good? Did I make a good purchase? Thank you in advance.
I have these. got them for $100 refurbed. Absolutely love them. Didn't know they had a mic until after i bought them.
I was trying to decide between two Bose sets, same price but one is on-ear and one is over-ear. My last pair didn't fit my head very well (too small), and I wear glasses, so I was wondering if anybody knows which would be the most comfortable to wear.

So. Between the three?
My Sony MDRX950BT headphones recently broke and I need a replacement. These cans are super comfy, have great battery life, and a handy NFC connect feature. I got them refurb for ~$80.
Any alternatives in the <$150 range for Bluetooth over-ears that I might like better?
Sorry it took so long to notice your reply....I have the Sony MDR-XB950BT. Yes they are large.
Got the Sony MDRXB950bt (Extra Bass) but find the bass is too much. Should I switch to the MDR10RBT?
MDRXB950BT Extra Bass
MDR10RBT
This was my first time buying headphones. I decided to go with the xb950bt because it was on sale during Boxing day at $123.00 Canadian which is a good deal and also had a lot of good reviews. Plus comfort is important and this ones are very comfortable even with eye glasses.
Also I have to say the bass on this are amazing. I listen to a lot of EDM and House so that is a great thing.
However the problem comes when I want to listen to other genres. The bass muffles the other parts such as the vocals. I'm now thinking maybe to get headphones with a more balanced sound. I wonder how the 10RBT matches in terms of sound and comfort. The original retail price is $220.00 but I can get a used one for $130.00 from Amazon.
You mean these?
The Golds have really poor audio quality. These are much better and just a bit more expensive http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXB950BT-Extra-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B00MCHE38O
You're not looking very hard then. I got a pair of these for $90 on ebay.

If 14-20 hours isn't enough for you, then you can use them with a 3.5mm cable, and charge them while you're listening to music with a portable charger.
I have a portable charger about the size of a tube of lipstick and it's enough to charge it fully while I continue listening with a 3.5mm cable.
These sound pretty good - they were 89 dollars on black friday
