Whoever wrote that, should have his hands cut.
It is a pure LIE.
Unless you Mod the XB950 (I did not try) they are vastly inferior to both those two.
And so I more than sure also to the MK2 (which I did not test but it is known to be better then the Mk1).
Besides, the XB950 is NOT a normal headphone. You do not buy that for your wife unless she is a fanatic of Dubstep.
And the change from the HKBT will be a shock.
I would suggest you the Jlab Omni, they are cheap and sturdy and sound good and almost identical to the HKBT.
Or the Jabra Revo Wireless.
Or the Supertooth Freedom.
I have lot of suggestions but you did not say which music she listen to, which tastes on sound does she have (bass, mids, highs, soundstage) how picky is she with comfort, if she prefer on or over ear, if she needs something portable or not, which sources does she use (Aptx? AAC?). etc...
Well, I read it in this forum, and I read it TWICE too. It stated the XB950BT was better then the Sony 10RBT and 1RBT.. Never had the 1RBT, but I did have the 10RBT, and that was a nice headphone for the $150 I paid for it new.
On the ones you suggest over the XB950BT, which ones have aptx?
The Jlab Omni would be perfect. I like the price too.
This is a quest to keep my wife from even looking at and asking to use any of the 3 headphones I have in my sig..
