Sony MDR-XB950N1 vs Beats Studio 2.0 Wireless: A Fight To The Bass..

2017-05-02
don't all of the key they coming from me you forget - what is up guys bTW back here again with another battle today we're gonna be looking at a battle between two of my favorite over ear headphones the Beats Studio twos and the Sony xb9 fifty and one both of which are wireless now in my opinion both of these are great but there can only be one winner so let's find out who comes out on top today but before we begin let me know down in the comments below who you guys think won well you think one is battle between these two so let's kick this thing off with the comfort and design now beach has always been subject to hate because of their build quality the price ratio and that's right now you can find both of these for roughly around 250 but before they're running about $400 which I don't think they were worth now I do feel like the studio two point knows where beats best product before being bought out by Apple now of course the beats X are a little bit better so the design on these they're both matte have both matte versions of these headphones but I do feel like the Sony's feel a little bit more premium they actually feel like matte whereas the the beats kind of still have a glossy feel to them so I feel like Sony used better materials I also seen with the the headband the headband on the Sony they both have metal bands in them but the Sony it just feels a lot sturdier you feel like you got your money's worth with the product even on the headband on the Sony's added faux leather at the top which is a nice feature it's a lot softer the rubber that they put on to the beats which is pretty can be uncomfortable at times now speaking of leather they both have leather cups faux leather cups over time my beats have been borne out they flattened out time whereas the Sun is even though I just got them they still kept their shape really nicely so that's one thing you might want to keep in mind although I do like the design of the studio choose how close they stay to your head when you put them on there's not gonna be fanning out like the Sony's do and therefore it makes it a lot better if you're going to be using these for gym purposes so one thing that I was worried about with the beats is that the hinge would break over time but over two years they've actually held up very nicely but the sony hinges just feel sturdier and I feel like they're gonna last all of us a longer period of time now the controls on the Sony's and the beats are completely different sony gives you more control over the noise cancellation and base by adding buttons right to the headphone where you can just tap to turn them on or off beats just a little bit more simple they just have the usual volume up and down buttons and the play and pause button the play husband on the Sony's are my favorite thing in this whole world guys I just I love the trigger sliding mechanism compared to the 2 to 3 times you have to press on the beast to go forward and back for your tracks it's just a more surefire way to change of songs see what I did there trigger fire okay okay you get the point so at the end of the day the better materials and the blood styles of the xb9 50 and 1 have won me over and they've also won the comfort InDesign now let's make our way into the sound around now both of these headphones are meant to appeal to the basement out there let's be honest the one just does it better than the other now Beats gets a lot of shots for their muddiness and sometimes I feel like it's just well deserved not to say that the studio two photos sound bad but they definitely lack a certain clarity to them that you'll find with other brands especially at higher volume where they just tend to rattle like image you feel like the headphones cannot handle the volume that you're putting out the bass that you're putting into the headphones so it's almost it sounds cheap in a way whereas the song as they rumble and they rumble all day and night but in a very very satisfying way while keeping the clarity and the mids very clear so if Sony can do beats I believe in you for an extra $150 you can put some clarity into the studio 3-0 so this round has to go to the Sony xb9 50 in one they even have an app where you can control how much of the extra bass you want when the extra bass is turned on while beef is just a one-size-fits-all and sometimes frankly just doesn't fit now moving on to the noise cancellation one of the biggest things that stands out to me is that Sony lets you control whether you want to have your noise cancellation on or not where's the beats it's always on and not only that the beats noise cancellation isn't that great it's supposed to be supposed to be active noise cancellation but it's more passive they just play static over your songs hoping that it will kind of block out some of that underlying noise that may come into your headphones and it just doesn't make any sense why would you mess up the quality of the sound and not only that you're not even giving us a great noise cancellation so that's why I like Sony because they actually put in a noise cancellation that actually cancels out the frequency that is coming in headphones so what Sony has done is they put a mic on the outside of your headphones so let's say you hear a baby crying that baby crying is going to be heard by the little Michael outside the headphones and then what happens is the Sony Vince sends out another frequency into your ear to block out that sound noise cancellation that's how it's supposed to be done beeps so they need to go back to the drawing board and try a game so this round goes to the Sony's so next up let's go to the battery life now the battery life on the beats is 12 hours whereas the battery life on the Sony's is 22 hours it's a big disparity but for my usage for my day-to-day usage 12 hours has been enough for the past two years but just having that extra 10 hours for when I go to fly it maybe I want to go on an international flight and have a layover and I don't want to be charging it the Sony's are going to be way better so if that's something if that's you go with the Sony's so the connectivity is also great on both I never have any issues with the connectivity with both of these no breakup so this round the tie but if you're going to be using this for business for business calls then you won't be disappointed because both are great even though the people can hear you just fine and you can hear them just fine so call quality another time all right so this point guys was a complete blowout by Sony I'm not gonna beat around the bush so anyone this one beats really really needs to come up with something great this coming year hopefully Apple can help them out a little bit with the noise cancellation get something great into the headphones and I believe that's why it's taking them so long to actually come out for studio 3.0 is because my wishful thinking's a my my intuition tells me that Apple is putting in some kind of noise cancellation technology into the studio threes so guys if you're on the fence or the baby between these two go with the songs for now we'll see what beats has in the future but for now Sony wins all right guys so before we go I want to tell you guys I'm send out an invitation for you guys to comment down below and tell me a headphone that you want to see reviewed or maybe that I don't even know about put me up on some new headphones thank you guys for watching and I will see you guys in the next video don't forget to Like share comment share
