Let’s talk about these headphones. Originally priced at $250, they feature the crisp and clear audio you’d expect from a premier brand like Sony. Best of all, this is just about the wallet-friendliest way to get premium noise canceling — i.e., Sony’s Dual Noise Sensor Technology that blocks out nearly all background and ambient sound. Gone are the days of air conditioner humming and washing machine tumbling encroaching on your jams; from here on it’ll just be you and your music.

But what fans really love about these headphones is the bass.

“I LOVE these headphones!!!” a five-star reviewer said. “I’m a huge bass lover and the bass sounds from this headphones are awesome! And yeah, noise canceling, it’s amazing. My apartment is under construction and it’s always annoying me, but these headphones definitely help me to escape from those horrible noises!!!!”

If you’re looking for a great pair of brand-name wireless noise-canceling headphones, the Sony WH-XB910N Extra Bass Noise-Canceling Headphones are a great midrange pick. They come in black and blue and have a battery life of up to 30 hours. Said a fan: “The noise canceling quality is great. The microphone works really well for calls, and I find myself using it all day for working from home. I have tried using earbuds before, but find they hurt my ears after a few hours. These over-the-ear style headphones however are really comfortable, and I can wear them all day without any discomfort. The quality of the sound while playing music is also amazing. As the title calls out, they amplify the bass really well.”
