For the Bass-lovers out there, these are a must-have pair of headphones. I've had these headphones in the past and they are amazing when it comes to the vibrant "in-your-face" bass feeling. With added Bluetooth and Bass-Boost functionality, these headphones at this price point are a huge steal (Original eBay price was AU $331.99). The eBay post initially states the headphones are AU $198.99 but if you enter the code "PARENT", you get an extra 20% off the already discounted price meaning you only pay AU $159.19 for the headphones (plus AU $8.80 for shipping which is still very cheap in total)

Somewhere between 15% - 30% more bass. I mean, these headphones are bass-oriented (with an included dedicated bass-boost button). The 1000X on the other hand, is more focused on noise-cancelling. It's also worth noting that the XB950B1's do not come with noise-cancelling functionality.
Damn I just forked out 30 cents on a pair of headphones last week.
On a serious note, tempting at this price but I have no clue when it comes to headphones and the 30c pair are actually pretty great.
How do they compare to these? Same just wireless?
My guess is that the MDR-1A has a more balanced sound signature (consumer-grade audiophile level sound). The MDR-XB950B1 on the other hand, is more focused on bass. And yes, the MDR-1A is wired while the MDR-XB950B1 is wireless (it does, however, come with an AUX cable for when you want it to be wired).
Some Sony headphones onsale in the Qantas store atm. https://www.qantasstore.com.au/p/Wireless-Noise-Cancelling-O…

More bass than 1000X?
