2017-08-31
Sony's MDR 1000x is one of our favorite
noise canceling wireless headphones and
this is the new enhanced version of it
the WH 1000 XM - priced at $350 it looks
very similar to the original and also
comes in beige or black but the finish
is slightly different and Sony's reduced
the number of buttons on the headphone
to help simplify things the real changes
are on the inside as the headphones
already excellent noise cancelling has
been upgraded with atmospheric pressure
optimizing ambient sound control and
equalizer and surround and sound
position controls the added features are
supposed to help you better tailor the
sound to your environment and the
atmospheric pressure optimizer which is
designed for plain use is currently
unique to this headphone Sony's
headphones Connect app allows you to
access and tweak all those new features
sound quality on the original MDR 1000x
was top-notch for this type of over ear
Bluetooth noise cancelling headphone in
fact some like it sound better than the
Bose QuietComfort 35 sound so when he
didn't change your upgrade that sound
but battery life has improved it's now
up to 30 hours with Wireless and noise
cancelling on or up to 40 hours if you
use a wired connection there's also a
quick charge feature that gives you up
to 70 minutes of battery life from just
10 minutes of charging the long and
short of it is sony has made an already
excellent sounding feature-rich
headphone even more feature-rich and
slightly reduced the price of the
headphone to get a deeper dive into just
what these new features do check out our
