Sony 1000XM2 Review - The Beats Studio3 Are Already In Trouble

2017-09-19
I'm offended the somnium the or 1000 X and now sony has released our 1000 x m2 although nothing's changed on the outside the saudi one dozen x m2 have been improved on the inside but if you only have the sony 1000 x should you run out an upgrade to the 71,000 x m2 we're about to find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe any can watch some of the videos here after you're done watching this video when the Sony and the or 1000 X first came out they were selling for 3 $99.99 but thankfully the new Sony WH 1000 xm2 are retailing for 3 $49.99 and you have two colors to choose from black or gold and now the older 1000x are selling for 298 over an Amazon if you want to pick either of these headphones up I'll have links to description below and I'll keep them updated so you can get the best deal possible sony products routinely go on sale so you might get lucky the exterior and materials used on the sony 1000x m2 or identical to the 1000 x the majority of the body is made out of plastic they have synthetic leather on the exterior of the ear cuffs they have a stainless steel headband they have the same physical buttons a power button and noise cancellation button on the left ear cup and even the pan is the same you also get the same accessories as the 1000 x like a heart cell carrying case a micro USB cable for charging and airplane adapter and an audio cable although sony does a great job of packing in a whole bunch of features into their products build quality is still not up to par to the both QC 35 but if you're mindful of them they should last you a long time and when it comes to comfort they're identical to the 1000 X clamping force isn't you type in the head there's enough padding and prolong use is no problem the first most noticeable upgrade to the sony 1000 x n2 is the battery with noise cancellation turned on the 1000 x 7 - should last you for 30 hours and with noise cancellation turned off they should last you for 38 hours but am i testing they've actually lasted me for about 35 hours with noise cancellation turned on and then moderate listen levels and for comparison no one does and acts have a battery life of 20 hours with noise cancellation turn on this sony 1000 x n2 also not have quick charging which is great to have if you guys forgetful as me if you plug them in for 10 minutes don't get you around 70 minutes of playback time which hopefully should last you you want to commute if you take public transportation if a comparison the 1000x don't have a charger but sadly the sony 1000 x m2 is still using bluetooth 4.1 you still get the same wireless range around 40 feet like the 1000 X but I really wish Sony took this opportunity to upgrade to Bluetooth 5.0 or at least bluetooth for that too just like the 1000 X the 1000 x m2 can only be paired with one device at a time you can't just quickly swap from your phone to your laptop like I do with the bose qc25 with the power base 3 instead if you're using the 1000 x m2 with your phone you have to disconnect them and then go into the Bluetooth settings of your other device like a tablet or laptop and connect the 1000 x m2 to that device manually another upgrade to the sony 1000 xn2 is the noise cancellation and ambient sound features like I said in the past the noise cancellation on the boss gives you 35 always gave me a headache and I always felt a good amount of cabin pressure the older sony 1000 x didn't cause me any headaches but did have the slightest cabin pressure but with the sony 1000 x m2 i feel absolutely no cabin pressure and there have been no headaches whatsoever but that's just me also while getting shots on the Hudson River I noticed it was almost no wind noise whenever I got hit by a gust of wind only very rarely and I just the right angle did the noise cancellation microphones on the 1000 XM to cause that white noise sound whereas the noise cancelling microphones on the bose qc25 and 1000 X or a little more sensitive to wind compared to the 1000 x m2 sony also added a pressure sensor into the 1000 x m2 so they can measure the barometric pressure and humidity surroundings and then compensate the sound and noise cancellation accordingly the idea is that you should get the best noise cancellation whether you're on the ground or on an airplane the 1000 x m2 also have the same ambient sound settings as the 1000 x you can have the headphones pump in all of your surroundings sounds where you're playing music so you can hear what's going on and stay safe when you're walk-in in the city or have the headphones only let in people's voices so if people call your name at the office you can still hear them or you can just have your basic noise cancellation on and block out everything the sony 1000 XM 2 also now connect to Sony's headphones app available on both Apple and Android and this app gives you so much control over the headphone first does adapt to sound control where the ambient sound settings will automatically adjust depending on what you're doing if your setup still don't block out everything once the headphones detect you're walking your play notification sound and start pumping in some ambient sound and focus on people's voices if the headphones detect you're running they'll let in even more ambient sound and if they detect you taking public transportation they will again block out everything obviously if you just want a noise cancellation on all the time you don't have to bother with the ambient sound settings but the ambient sound settings on the 1000 x-series are very useful and is one of the main reasons why I prefer them over other headphones on the market when it comes to sound quality there's really no noticeable difference between two 1000 X in the 1000 X and - and that's not a bad thing I thought we stopped at 1000 X sounded better than the bose qc25 they sound clearer and they have enough space to keep you satisfied they don't get as loud as the XP 950 anyone but they can handle almost everything you throw at them and through the headphones that you have a few equalizer settings to choose from and you can even make your own but even if you max out the bass on these headphones you're not going to get the same effect as you would with the XP 950 n1 but I really do like how easy it is to adjust the EQ on the 1000 XM - and since the EQ is a loaded onto the headphones you EQ settings will follow you from device to device so through the EQ you can tailor the sound of the 1000 X and - exactly - you like it you can also adjust the surround settings at the sound position of these headphones but honestly I just keep those settings off the bass on the 1000 XM - isn't going to satisfy a basin like the XP 950 n1 but then I suppose to their main focus is a noise cancellation and comfort touch controls make a return on the 1000 X n - if you double tap the right ear cup your player posi music if you swipe forward to skip a track and if you swipe back to go back a track and if you swipe up or down they'll adjust the volume and if you press and hold the right ear cup they'll activate Syria but if you cover the right ear cup the headphones will automatically lower the volume of whatever you listen to and let in all the ambient noise in so if somebody's trying to talk to you you can still hear them even with the headphones on Sony calls this feature quick attention and as my face feech on these headphones hands down these headphones also have a built-in microphone for calls i feel the user sounds a little far away and you might have to speak up sometimes but when i spoke to people on the phone using these headphones they said it sounded just fine but this audio clip is being recorded with the headphones themselves so you could be the judge of that before i wrap this video up i want to play some stuff out about using these headphones with the included audio cable if you have them plugged in and powered off you can use the 1000 xm2 without noise cancellation but the sound gets a very shallow and the base is very flat if you power them on in have a wired connection the sound quality goes back to your pre-installed EQ settings and the noise cancellation turns back on if you want it but what really sucks is that the touch controls on the right ear cup won't work if you have a wired connection with your phone and since there's no inline controller on the cable you have to whip out your phone if you want to control your music playback I just don't like functionality being taken away from you also audio quality really isn't that different when using a wired connection versus a wireless connection with your phone which isn't that surprising since Sony is very good at having a very clear and minimally distorted wireless connection I've noticed this with both their headphones and their speakers the only difference I noticed was that the headphones get slightly louder when used with the wired connection so the Sony WH 1000 xm2 are really just an improved version of the sony MDR 1000x the 1000x tend to have a longer battery life and they now have quick charging the newest cancellation has been improved and you have so much control over your ambient sound settings through sony's headphones app sound quality on the 1000 x + 2 is just as good as the 1000 X but being able to easily adjust the EQ is a much welcomed feature but I'm still a little disappointed sony didn't upgrade the bluetooth on the 1000 x m2 for easy switching between your devices if you already have the 1000 X you don't really need to upgrade unless the 20 hour battery life is a problem for you if you're deciding between the 1000 X or paying the extra $50 for the 1000 X I'm - I feel it is worth it because you're getting an improved battery life with quick charging improve noise cancellation and even more control over your sound quality I'm even willing to argue these are the best overall consumer headphones on the market right now but that could change once the bose qc25 to come out in a few weeks rumor saying October 4th hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than you realize for more product reviews and deal alerts check out Jim Carrey that net if you want us to port the channel pick up a shirt and I'll catch you next time
