All Kinds of Journeys

  • Commuting while listening to music from these Sony headphones gives the perfect distraction while getting to work.

  • On flights keeping yourself occupied is a lot easier with this pair. You can tune out of the in-flight noise and hum of engines using the inbuilt noise cancelling features. Being foldable makes it much easier to carry around with you..

For producing creative work

  • DJ work requires great headphones and the specs on the Sony MDR-XB950N1B BT 4.1 22hrs Black such as the 40 cm driver unit size makes it suitable for your needs.

Various Audio Content Types
