okay so this video has been heavily requested so here it is these are the sony here on - noise cancelling headphones and aside from their awful name there are more playful and slightly more affordable version of the sony 1000x and two headphones aside from their designs they do have some key differences and perform differently from their more premium counterpart don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and if you want somebody who is here after watching this video unlike the Sony 1000 XM to search only come in two colorways the Sony here on - come in three colorways Twilight red moonlit blue and grayish black and two more colors are supposed to be released as well Verizon green and pale gold the Huron twos are Sony's attempt at going up against the Beats Studio threes but the here on - are slightly cheaper than the studio threes retelling for to $99.99 but actually got these for - $49.99 if you want to pick these headphones up I'll have links to description below I'll keep them updated so you can get the best deal possible I suggest you check out the links because Sony products routinely go on sale and it also helped us channel the Sony here on to come included with the color matching carrying pouch and audio cable and II come included with a micro USB cable for charging but if you plan on traveling a lot with these headphones I suggest you invest in your own hearts little carrying case the pouches now go in to protect your headphones these headphones also don't come included with an airplane adapter which I personally don't think is a big deal the old quality is just as good as the sony 1000 XM - they're mostly made out of plastic and they have the same stainless steel headband and synthetic leather covering the ear cups and they're heavier than I expected weighing in at 291 grams I'm also assuming the Huron shoe is using the same plastic on the underside of the headband as the 1000x m2 which I want to point out that after three months of heavy usage still having cracked which was a pretty common problem with the Sony and the or 1000x so hopefully the sony here on 2 won't have a head neck cracking issue either the ear cups on the huron to have a good amount of range of motion but they don't pivot or swivel as much as a 1000 x and twos and unlike the m2 is that here on tuesday flat you can only fold up on the left ear cup you get your NFC touch point power button noise cancellation by in micro USB port an audio jack and yes these headphones can be used passively my only gripe with the physical buttons is that they were very hard to find I just raise more or textured just like the Sony 1000x and to the Huron to also use touch controls on the right ear cups our control your music playback swipe front or back to skip or go back a track double tap to play or pause and swipe up or swipe down to raise or lower your volume and pro tip if you swipe up and then hold the volume will continue to rise until you let go and the same goes for lowering the volume and if you tap and hold you'll activate your voice assistant I can't wait to see what Siri gets wrong this done the touch controls are pretty intuitive and very accurate I've never really had a problem with them even with wet fingers when it comes to design and comfort I personally prefer the look and some of the design elements of the here on to over the 1000 xm2 first a you have something here on to you aren't covered in synthetic leather like the amp tubes which just give them a cleaner look but they do stick out to the sides a bit not as bad as the Sony xb9 50 n ones but you might look like megaman with these on they're just that as low profile as the 1000 x and twos but the biggest design difference between the 1000 x + 2 and the here on - or the ear cups the ear comes on the huron to do a far better job of engaging your ears and give your ears more room to breathe which also means less sweat and heat build up after prolonged use sessions the ear cups up to here on - are very similar to the ear cups found on the bose qc25 and BN wpx they're not as comfortable to wear as the bose because they do have a little more clamping force and the padding isn't as soft but they are more comfortable than the PX because they do have more padding I feel that here on - are going to fit just fine for most people if you have a bigger head the clamping force isn't going to cause you discomfort in the jaw area and if you have bigger ears the padding isn't going to rest on the ears like - 1000 x m2 or Beats Studio 3zu battery life on the Sony here on - is almost as good as the Sonia 1000 x m2 with noise cancellation turned on I've averaged 20 and a half hours of playback time and when noise cancellation turned off I've averaged 35 hours of playback time I mean these headphones still have a better battery life than the bose qc25 series - or the Beats Studio threes with noise cancellation turned on but they're quick charging is pretty weak if you plug them in for 10 minutes then you'll only get 65 minutes of playback time these headphones are also using bluetooth 4.1 the range in connectivity is very similar to the 1000 xm2 they have a range of about 30 feet very little delay so audio and images are sick too in watching videos and they have a stable and clear connection but just like the 1000 x m2 the here on - you cannot be paired to multiple devices at the same time so you can't quickly switch from one device to another as easily as you would with let's say both headphones that can be connected to two devices at the same time or beats that use apple's w1 chip so you can't hot-swap so switching from your phone to your laptop with the Sony headphones isn't as seamless like with other headphones which does get annoying after a while but if you have a premium Android device you can also take advantage of the apt X HD audio which is nice when it comes to sound quality the hero on two sounds identical to the 1002 and they get just as loud they're both closed back headphones and they have the same at one point five seven inch dumb drivers and to hear on twos connect to Sony's headphones actually you cannot just you EQ depending on the type of music you like they have a wide soundstage a good amount of instrument separation and they have a good amount of bass but not as much space as the Sony xb9 50 n1 i mean i feel these headphones sound better than the B studio threes or bose qc25 series twos but if you're looking for something with even better sound quality then you might want to look into the B&W px or something more high-end but the noise cancellation under here on - is pretty average compared to other headphones out there first off that you comes themselves do a poor job of providing passive noise isolation so a lot of sound still manages to get in and you get a lot of sound leakage the noise cancelling mic on these headphones also like to pick up a lot of wind noise just like the Bose or studio freeze but at least they don't have any cabin pressure the noise cancelling on these headphones is really only worth using in an already quiet environment like at the office or at home and they do an okay job went on a bus these headphones also allow you to pump in some ambient sound in so he can be aware of your surroundings if you're walking around in the city and these headphones also have my favorite feature from the 1000 X and 2 which is quick attention if you cover the touchpad on the right ear cup the headphones will automatically lower the volume of whatever you're listening to and pump in all of those surrounding sounds so this way you can talk to someone without having to take your headphones off and when you take your hand off with the touchpad they will set everything back to how it was quick attention is by far my favorite feature and you even have to sometimes explain to people but you can still hear them even with the headphones on now let's talk about Sony's headphones app for the huron - it's pretty solid and well laid out from here you can turn noise cancellation on or off and you can choose from noise cancelling with noise reduction and ambient sound i've already demonstrated noise cancellation and ambient sound for you and when setting the headphones to wind noise reduction yes the mics won't pick up that dreaded wind noise but then they don't cancel out any sound unlike the 1000x and twos these headphones don't have an atmospheric pressure sensor and you can't calibrate the noise cancellation to better fit your surroundings in general you don't have as much control over the noise cancellation as you would with the 1000x m2 but you can adjust the surround sound setting on these headphones but partially I just keep that off because all it does is distort the sound and you also have your equalizer settings you can either choose from a few pre-made ones or you can make your own and like I said they have a good amount of bass if you set the bass to 10 then they'll have more bass than most other headphones on the market but they don't have as much space as bass heavy headphones like the Sony xb9 50 n1 or the Skullcandy crusher okay and here's the microphone test on the sony here on - it's not the best microphone out there but it does get the job done it doesn't sound as good as the 1000 x time - but when i spoken to people on the phone they really didn't have an issue but this audio clip is been recorded by the microphone on the 1000 x12 so you can be the judge of that Sony's here on - noise cancelling headphone performed pretty average when it actually comes to noise cancellation compared to other headphones on the market but they do sound identical to the Sony 1000 XM 2 and that's a good thing they sound good personally I prefer to the design of the here on to and I would really like to see the Sony 1000 xm3 to adopt some of this design language what I really like most about the here on - is the earcup design I really like the extra breathing room and openness of the ear cups without having the pads actually rest on my ears I really think the Sony here on - are a great alternative to the Beats Studio threes they cost less they sound good and their noise cancellation is slightly better 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 to support the channel pick up a shirt and I'll catch you next time
