Pros: Bass heads would love the bass on it, very long bluetooth life around 15-20 hours and 50ft range
Cons: The headphones are very bulky, making it hard to wear on your neck. If worn for lets say an hour without being taken off a plethora of sweat would have accumulated around your ears. The bass boost can be overpowering. You can not use bass boost if you use wired, I don't know why but seems flawed for being advertised as bass boosted headphones. The bass boost has very dirty bass, if you're looking for clean bass look somewhere else. The durablity on these headphones seem to stem off a flaw in the designing. The muffs can be rotated but not folded or anything of the like. And since the headphones are bulky the part that connects the muff to the headband just snapped. These headphones leak so much sound. It's hard to believe they aren't speakers. I would use them on the bus and on full volume on my iphone and 1/3 volume on the headphones everyone around me could hear my music. Even if they could hear my music I could hear the bus because the isolation on these headphones aren't great even though they aren't advertised as noise isolating.
I made an account on headfi just to review these headphones. First of all I'd like to say I dont refer to myself as an audiophile or audiohead, at best a music enthusiast.I may not know the proper terminology or criteria for reviewing headphones but bear with me. I bought the MDRXB950--BT on August 10th 2015 and by October 5th 2015 one of the headband holders broke. How? who knows I treated these headphones with utmost care. http://imgur.com/nwZCdyL (A picture of the broken part). http://imgur.com/C4mld83(A picture of the fully functional opposite side).
Although I am new to headphones I am comparing the audio quality to the shuer 215 IEM's

So while I'll lose bass volume, I still find that I prefer being able to accurately hear detailed bass from my 7550s. The HD25 with a bit of EQ still has the best balance, and will back to using these as all rounders.
I think my next headphone choice for a closed back will have to be a more solid performer - and for my studio needs probably a Focal Pro or a Sony MDR-7520.
