The verdict

The Sony WH-XB910N is a mixed bag headset, with an attractive price and feature set. It's way too bassy, and while you can EQ it, it won't sound perfect, and the touch controls are inconsistent. Noise canceling is good for the price, and optional wired listening is handy.

✓What we like
✓Battery life
✓LDAC, AAC, SBC codecs along with analog playback
✓In-app equalizer
✓Optional headphone jack
✓Noise canceling is decent
✓Comfortable
✕What could be better
✕Default sound is too bassy
✕Touch controls could work better
✕Even with the EQ the sound is imperfect
