Bose QC35 VS Sony XB950N1 Save Some Cash or Shell Out The Big Bucks?

2017-04-12
Hey I hope you liked that intro I'm trying to apply it acting skills if so smack that like buying from here recently a few people then asking me if they should get those Sony xb9 50 anyone or should they sell out the extra cash and just get the bose qc25 in my response to that question is usually well what are you looking for in these earphone sir if you're having think question hopefully I can help you out first let's adjust the price the Sony xb9 50 n1 currently retails for 248 over at amazon and come in two colorways black or green the bose qc25 on the other hand retail for 349 and also come in two colorways black or silver if you're not good at math these two your phones have 100 on the price difference that's like five imax movie tickets to the fate of the Furious I have linked in the description below if you want to buy you to one of these so quick rundown of these two earphones they're both noise canceling wireless earphones they're both using bluetooth 4.1 they both have a battery life of around 20 hours they both have NFC pairing capabilities and they both have an accompanying phone application but nonetheless they are both very different products for starters of both Tuesday 35 are truly worth at $349 price tag the materials are much more premium and the build quality is very solid the majority of these your phone is made out of metal and the headband is much more flexible than the headband under Sony xb9 50 n1 the sony xperia 950 n1 on the other hand is made mostly out of plastic and the overall design of the sony xb9 50 and one is huge like I mentioned in my initial review you can actually still see that XP 950 and one in your peripheral vision when you put them on the boat you see 35 on the other hand are much more compact one very subtle design detail I appreciate from the most u-235 are the large letters found inside of the gear comes indicating which is blast in which is right it just makes putting on these earphones correctly the first time much easier whereas the Sony just have these two little dots which don't really do very much so I always have to pause and make sure they're oriented correctly before I put them on both of these earphones also feature controls on the bottom of the ear cups and they both took very different approach the boss QC 35 really just has a power button a volume rocker and an extra button to play in pods music double tapping the third button skips of and triple tapping goes back a track it's very easy to tell which one you're pressing some sort of very elevated the Sony S P 960 anyone on the other hand has a few more buttons and allow you to take more control over your headphones you can do things like turn on or turn off the base to flat feature more on this in just a second you can turn noise cancellation on or off and controlling your music with the dongle on the sony xperia the n1 is much more intuitive and slightly more accurate when it comes to controls I really prefer the xB 950 n1 over the QC 35 when it comes to wearing either one of these earphones they're both very comfortable what I do prefer one over the other and that would have to be the bose qc25 like I mentioned earlier both of these your phones are noise cancelling earphones and naturally I know you're probably wondering which has a better noise cancellation and that's a trying both of these headphones on in the same noisy environment I did find the Bose 50-35 had the better noise cancellation just be warned and this is just my experiment when I wear the both QT 35 for more than a few minutes without playing music I do get a headache this doesn't mean it will happen to you but Sony XP 950 on the other hand don't give me any kind of headache whether the music is playing or not or after prolonged use just don't expect the noise cancellation to be as good as the Bose you see Felisa overall the sound quality on both of these headphones is great as well but they do sound very different the bose qc25 give you a very decent listening experience overall you've got a wide soundstage instrument separation of spot-on lows mids highs and vocals all very clear what makes the Sony xb9 to the n1 special is their base effect feature as the box implies the sony xb9 50 n1 are made for people who absolutely love date the base on the bose QC 35 just can't compare to the Sony headphones and having all that base really changes though it's an experience and even though the XP 950 and one have a whole lotta bass it doesn't take away from the sound quality one complaint I do have about the XP 950 n1 is their highs can get a little painful at time whereas the highs in the bose qc25 in the same song didn't cause any discomfort like I mentioned earlier both of these headphones also have smartphone app so Sony XP 950 and one smartphone app allows you to do a few things like children or scan on and off you can also adjust the base effect so you can actually turn it up or turn it down for those wondering the base on the both QC 35 is equivalent to having the Sony xb9 50 and one base set to negative 2 hopefully that helps give your reference of some sort sony's app also allows you to adjust to surround the size of these headphones well like I mentioned in my initial review it really just the sports the sounds really and I just keep that feature off both of smartphone app on the other hand really doesn't even do too much I even wonder why we even have to bother with an app some time overall both of these headphones have their pros and cons the boss QC 35 has far superior noise cancellation than the Sony xb9 50 no.1 and we also have a far better build quality the sony xb9 50 and the one on the other hand are truly all about that bass the boss to see 35 give you a very balanced listening experience and/or slightly smaller size and included hard keys make them great for traveling but the base on the QC 35 does believe you wanting more and that's what the XP 950 on one picks up the slack the sony xb9 50 and 1 are just made for basic and all dead bass really truly elevates the listening experience without taking away from the sound quality traveling with the XP 950 and 1 can be a little harder due to their larger size but if you do plan to travel a lot with them it would be smart to invest in a horse shell case but overall if you're looking for something with amazing noise cancellation and sound good get the bose qc25 if you need to have your bass then get the sony xb9 50 anyone hey if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the video if you could
