Sony WH-XB900N review: Headphone that scales a spectacular new low in bass

Image
Sony’s WH-XB900N is not for the faint-hearted. Expect shockwaves the first time you put them on, especially if you are not careful with the content you play. Start with something mellow like Feeling Good by Nina Simone and experience the trumpet surrounding her powerful vocals before you move to AC/DC. Unless, of course, you plan to be thunderstruck. Millennials, try Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy or Old Town Road by Lil Nas X and you’ll know what I am talking about.

A day after the incident, DJ Marshmello even took to Twitter to send out his prayers to "those affected by the Pulwama attack". A lot of attendees, sporting oversized white buckets with black eyes and a wide smile -- similar to Marshmello's headgear, praised him for paying tribute to the slain CRPF jawans at Vh1 Supersonic 2019 on Sunday...

Raminder Singh, Principal Jewellery designer , BlueStone gives some tips on how to make your outfit shine with the appropriate jewellery. Pair busy patterns with subdued jewellery : If the outfit has a busy print or textures, ensure that it is paired with simple jewellery. Solid watches, earrings and bracelets go a long way.
