you know I love the Sonia 1000 xm2 because they have the best active noise cancellation on the market right now but I know dropping 350 dollars on a pair of anc headphones is a lot for some people so today we're going to be comparing three ANC headphones in the children's and all the budget range specifically the audio technica ath ANC 700 BT quiet points the sony w 8 c 8 700 ends and the JBL Everest elite 750 and C codes are usually on sale now just so we're clear this isn't a full review on either these headphones I'm just trying to point out the most important differences between them so I can help you with your purchase decision if you want to learn more about either of these headphones then watch their full reviews the audio technica ANC 700 BT which I'm going to be referring to as the quiet points or the newest headphones here and currently retail for one $99.99 the Sony 700 ends were released around the same time as the quiet points and also retail for one $99.99 the JBL Everest elite or a year old now and used to retail for two $99.99 but they're usually on sale now for about $230 so that's why I'm including them in this versus video if you want to pick either of these ANC headphones up I'll have links in the description below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel check them out cuz you never know when these headphones might go on sale so you might get lucky ok first let's go over some small but crucial details all three of these ANC headphones used on my careers B port for charging and they all have an audio jack for passive listening but only the Sony 700 ends have a 3.5 millimeter audio jack whereas the quiet points and Everest elites have 2.5 millimeter audio jacks also only the avarice elite comes included with a hard shell carrying case while the quiet points come included with a carrying pouch and Sony's don't come with a carrying pouch at all now let's talk about fit because I feel it's the most important thing to take into consideration when choosing headphones all three of these ANC headphones or over ear headphones and they all have a stainless steel headband plastic body panels a synthetic leather on the ear cups but the sony is are the lightest here weighing in at 234 grams - quiet points weigh in at 247 grams and the JBL's are the heaviest here weighing in at 280 but hands down I feel the quiet points are the most comfortable headphones here because they have very roomy ear cups and they have the least amount of clamping force the Sony's are also comfortable but they are a little snug if you have a bigger head like me the JBL has have the same amount of clamping force as the Sony's but since your ear cups don't pivot as much as the Sony's or quiet points I feel they never fit just right they always put some pressure on the anterior portion of my ear also since the JBL s have so much padding overheating is definitely an issue with these headphones whereas the audio Technica's don't overheat too much and the Sony's is somewhere between the quiet points and JBL so comfort points has got to go to the audio Technica's and when it comes to build quality I feel the quiet points and Sony's are on par with one another whereas I feel the build quality I'm the JBL isn't the best they crack and squeak a lot whatever I handle them but now let's talk about another small but important things a second to consideration and that's how you control a music playback with these headphones obviously you can play pause skip a track go back a track and activate your voice assistant directly from these headphones but how do you go about it is very different on each of these headphones the Sony's have the best controls here thanks to a dedicated volume rocker and a separate switch so he can skim through your music very quickly and easily the Everest elite has control buttons but they can be pretty hard to find and to tell apart and instead of double pressing or triple pressing the center button to skip a track you have to press and hold the volume up or volume down button and I hate this because it takes forever to skip a track but more importantly controlling your music playback on the Y points is near impossible the quiet points use touch controls that are almost ever accurate when you're trying to escape or go back a track and since they're on the left ear cup instead of the right ear Cup it feels very unnatural for me since I'm a righty and since controlling my music playback is so hard with the quiet points touch controls I just naturally find myself defaulting back to my phone now let's talk about battery life cuz they're all very different across the board with ANC and Bluetooth turned on and with the volume set at 50% the ever Saline managed to average 17 hours to play that time under the same circumstances the quiet points averaged 23 hours of playback time and the Saudis have the best battery life here averaging 37 hours of playback time and with AMC turned off these guys managed to hit 45 hours to play at that time regarding connectivity all three of these headphones have a 30-foot range but the Sony's and quiet points are using Bluetooth 4.1 while the JBL's are using bluetooth 4.0 wireless connection on the JBL and sony is very stable whereas if you get a single wall between the quiet points and your phone then your music will start to stutter but the JBL and sony also have very little latency which make them good for watching videos whereas the latency on the quiet points is much more noticeable so these aren't the best for watching videos and all three of these headphones can only be connected to one device at a time so that's something important to take into consideration if you're a power user now let's talk about the active noise cancellation on these headphones the JBL has managed to block out the most sound here but they do have a considerable amount of cabin pressure whenever I put the JBL is on I constantly find myself trying to pop my ears but they don't cause me any headaches like the boss to c35 do the anc on the sony and quiet points is really only worth using on a bus ride commute or in an already quiet office because they don't really do a good job of blocking out chatter but the anc on either the sony or quiet points have very little to no cabin pressure which is good because i can go out with them on without feeling any discomfort when it comes to sound quality the audio technica quiet points have a neutral sound signature they also have the best soundstage n instrument separation here but they get the least loudest and max volume the Everest elite also has a pretty good sound stage and they have the most bass here but if the bass really gets going then it'll bottom out now and then it's not as bad as it used to be but it still happens the mids and instrument separation on the Sony's is very similar to the JBL's but the Sony's don't have nearly as much space but the Sony's bass doesn't bottom out and they also get the loudest here all three of these headphones sound good but I do find myself reaching for the quiet points because of that soundstage but both the Sony and JBL have an app where you can quickly and easily adjust the EQ on either of these headphones so if you want you can crank the bass up to a 10 or if you want to put an emphasis on vocalist you can bring the mids out on either of these two headphones unfortunately the quiet points don't have an app so you'll have to use a third-party app instead and through JBL is app you can also adjust how much ambient sound you want to pump in into each year individually and this feature is good because you can be aware of your surroundings if you're walking around in the city if you have the JBL headphones on this feature is also found on the 1000 X + 2 but the 700 ends don't have this feature so if ANC is very important to you and you have a 200 dollar budget then go with the JBL Everest elite because they managed to block out the most sound here but like I mentioned earlier they do have a considerable amount of cabin pressure some people are able to get used to it but I'm not one of those people and like I mentioned earlier I don't think that's the most comfortable headphones here and you're also going to be getting the worst battery life I think the sony CH 700 n is the safe buy here cuz they should be comfortable to wear it's for most people their ANC gets the job done if you're on the bus and since they have a stupid long battery life they're great for traveling and or commuting but if you're mostly interested in sound and comfort and occasionally plan on using a and C then the audio technica quiet points might be more your style I think that those sleeker looking headphones here but remember their touch controls are not the best if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize
