FYI, $169.99 with no sales tax outside of NJ from buydig.com (https://www.buydig.com/shop/produ...coal-Black)

Can anyone comment as to whether these are worth the extra $80 compared to the $100 Prime Day deal on the Sony XB950B1's? I bought those but they have not shipped yet so still time to cancel and switch. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-XB950...ones&psc=1

Curious as well since I also bought the Prime one. Only difference I can see is the prime one has extra base but no noise cancellation oh and this one has noise cancellation but no extra base

Backbeat Pro 2 at $199 is a better buy

The xb950b1's are really cheaply-made. The part where the headband branches into two is super prone to breaking. Mine broke after just a few months.

MSRP on these were originally $349.00. I would buy both and return the one you like the least. People's taste in headphones are very subjective and based on the type of music one listens to. I have a feeling though that you'll like these more than the MDR-XB950B1's.

I bought these from buydig a week back. No tax! I love mine. The XB950B1 rom what I know are bassy. 100abn is not super bassy but I love the sound. And the best part about it is its long battery life and comfort. Though XB950B1 are over the ear, since they are round, they will most probably sit a bit over the ear. I had this issue with a pair of T4's that I bought and returned for because it didnt sit completely over the ear.

100abn is best bang for buck!

I use these for 3-4 hours a day. I've never really had these on continuously. I tend to move around and take these off frequently. I have worn these for an entire hour without any discomfort.

You can buy from Amazon Beach Camera seller (same company as BuyDig) and get all the benefit of prime without tax. Amazon's service for $9 extra than BuyDig was worth it for me.

I saw some reviews saying sound leaking is an issue. They said we can't use it in the public space. I'm reluctant to buy it now because of this sound leaking problem.
