yeah yeah I'm coming oh cool it's gonna get some headphones for the flight but which one should I take last year when we pitted the Sonia 1000 XM to up against the bose qc25 series to the sony's one because they had to better perform in technology but bose still walked away with a close second because they had far better build quality for a better fit and they looked much better than the Sony's and it looks like Sony took that to heart cuz now we have the all-new Sony WH 1000 XM 3 so well there's sodium 1000 XM 3 finally the complete package or the bose qc25 series to stay on some fight left in them the sony 1000 Exim threes or the newer headphones here cuz they were released in September of 2018 whereas the bose qc25 series 2 or exactly one year older than the sony's and both of these headphones currently retail for $350 if you want to pick either of these headphones up I'll have links for description below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel I highly suggest you check them out because Sony headphones routinely go on sale so you might get lucky and if you want to learn more about either these headphones then watch their full reviews and also check out the numerous shelf down below first let's talk about the accessories that come included with both of these headphones both of these headphones come included with hard shell carrying cases but personally I do prefer some skills even though boses case is slightly smaller like Sony's case cuz of the scratch resistant fabric body and now you really like the built-in storage compartment before we talk about the included cables we first need to talk about the ports on these headphones because they're completely opposite thankfully the 1000 X and threes now have a USB C port which is strictly used for charging and there's a 3.5 millimeter audio jack whereas the Bose still have a microUSB port for charging and it has a 2.5 millimeter audio jack the entries included charging cable is much nicer than boses charging cable but I hate that is much shorter but both of these headphones do get a strike when it comes to their included audio cables both of these cables are cheap short and thin and even though the m3s audio cable is slightly even boses audio cable it's still downgrade from the m20 cable I know that for most people the included audio cables aren't a factor these days but for content creators it couldn't matter but now with all of that other way let's get to the main attractions even though technologically inferior the bus QC 35s have remained a favorite of most consumers because of their fit design and tried and tested build quality because in comparison last year's sony 1000 XM to their ear cups were much more cramped they looked much bulkier the old quality wasn't on the same level as Bose and they had to shake off the headband cracking issue that was prominent on the first generation sony MDR 1000x and from the looks of it it looks like Sony took steps to improve both the build quality and design of the 1000 x m3 there's much less creaking whenever you flex the m3s headband the ear cups will much smoother and tolerances are much tighter the entries also have a much more minimalist designed to them because of their muted color soft touch ear cups and all of the screws and wires have been nicely hidden away whereas the bose qc25 s have a much more industrial look to them they look like they're completely made out of metal but they're not and their screws and hinges are completely exposed even though Sonia obviously took steps to improve the build quality on their new headphones only time will tell if they're going to be able to hold up as well as boses headphones do partially I am confident in the new build quality of the m3s because after a year of heavy usage my enthuse have held up just fine but perhaps more importantly the film of the 1000 x + 3 s has been greatly improved from the M twos to better compete against the bose qc25 the yukos and IAM threes are much more spacious than the ear cups and the M twos and there's much less padding against your head which means overheating is much less of an issue since the ear cups and iam threes are much more spacious and since the headphones themselves weigh in at 255 grams 20 grams lighter than the enthuse extended wear is not a problem whatsoever but some people will still find the Bose QC 3 5 is a little more comfortable to wear than the 1,000 X and threes even though the panning on the entries is very similar to the bose qc25 buzzes ear cups are much deeper than Sony's ear cups we're in the post QC 35s is like wearing your favorite oversized hoodie you have more than enough room to move around and since the faux leather and the ear cups feel so much more luxurious than the faux leather on the entries the bows feel a little cozier whereas wearing the Sony's is like wearing a form-fitting tracksuit you have room to move around but the cut is much slimmer obviously both of these headphones are big head approved but I feel that if you have larger ears or ears that stick out a lot then you still be better off going with the bus QC 35 but another thing I like about the 1000x and three is the new headband design it's much more low-profile compared to the m2 and boses headband and it's also much thinner okay now with design to fit out of the way let's talk about tech specs the bose qc25 series 2 has an advertised battery life of 20 hours and they also feature fast charging if you plug the bose qc25 s in for 15 minutes from a dead battery they're gonna get you two and a half hours to playback time the so many 1000s and threes also have fast charging but instead of two and a half hours of playback time they're gonna get you 5 hours of playback time from just 10 minutes of charging the entries also have an advertised battery life of 30 hours and that with ANC turned on you can always squeeze out a little bit more battery life out of these headphones if you use them with ANC turned off and for me the entries usually last me about 2 weeks in between charges and when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity things are also a little different both of these headphones have stable connections that don't cut out which is good but they do have a bit of latency so they aren't the best for watching YouTube videos but with the Bose qc3 5s you can be connected to two devices at a time which makes hot swapping much easier if you're a power user whereas with the m3s you can only be connected to one device at a time but you do get the benefit of sony's dsee and odet technologies which allows you to enjoy high res audio without having a use of water connection but now let's talk about the active noise cancellation on both of these headphones like I've said in the past the reason I like to Sony 1000 XM - so much was because they were able to block out the moe tomorrow noise with little-to-no cabin pressure even more than the most QC 35s and I don't know how Sony did it but the new 1000 X and 3's are able to block out a little more noise across the board than the previous M twos even though the bose qc25 is do a good job of blocking out a good amount of road noise aka constant low frequency sounds they do struggle to block out random higher frequency sounds lecture chatter you would hear at your local coffee shop but my biggest issue with Boz's active noise cancellation is that there is a considerable amount of discomfort when you use it I know that some people have said that they get used to buzzes ANC technology after a while but that's never been the case for me personally I either feel discomfort on my eardrums or a slight pain on the back of my eyeballs so after a while of wearing the bose qc25 with anc turned on i just got a headache whereas i never have any of these symptoms with so nice headphones but another reason I like Sony's active noise cancellation so much is because it does a much better job of preventing wind noise in your music when you rang these headphones outdoors since the ANC microphones are on the 1000 XM threes or slightly recessed it's much harder for when to directly hit them and as a result you really get any in the background of your music whereas since the ANC microphones on the bose are so exposed when noise is a little more common but another reason unlike Sony's ANC so much is because you can pump in some of the ambient sound around you so it's kind of like having open-back headphones and this feature is great for safety if you're walking around in the city but the trick thing about ambient mode is that it's not just blindly pumping in all of the ambient sound around you it's still selective of what it lets in so if you're walking around in the city and if there's a random bang or a siren the headphones will automatically block everything out again so you don't have to worry about jumpscares or going deaf whereas with Bose you can only set your active noise cancellation to high-low or off when it comes to sound quality both of these headphones are meant for easy-listening the boss QC 35s has a sound so I'm gonna chew that puts and emphases on the mids and vocals but I feel the bass does leave something to be desired I feel that the Bose can sometimes sound a little bright and if the vocals really got going then they can overpower the rest of the song but my biggest problem with the bose qc25 is that the bass bottoms out half at the time whereas the bass on the sony 1000 xm3 can get significantly deeper and is cleaner than the bass on both the 1000x m2 and bose qc25 you're not going to get bass head levels of bass on the 1000 xm3 where your head is just rattling all the time but the cleaner base of the m3s does make it listen to music with the entries more enjoyable and through sony's headphones app you can also adjust the EQ of the m3s so you can make them sound however you want so depending on the type of music you listen to which is something you can't do with the Bose unless you use a third-party app and when it comes to control your music playback on either of these headphones things are also very different the both QC 35s have a set of physical buttons on the back of the right ear cup they're easy to use easy to find and easy to tell apart besides me wanting them to have a little more tactile feedback they're perfectly fine the Sony's on the other hand have a touchpad on their right ear cup you double tap to play a positive music so I pop it down to adjust your volume and swipe front or back to skip or go back a track and after you get used to them the touch controls on the sony 1000x and three are very easy to use sense sony's touchpad is so accurate i'm indifferent when it comes to choosing between either of the control methods found on these headphones they both work just fine but the thing Sony's touchpad has over Bose is quick attention if you fully cover the touchpad the headphones will pause your music and pump in all the ambient sound so you can talk to someone without having to take your headphones off I'm telling you from experience do not underestimate how useful this feature can be but one thing that I hate about both of these headphones is their lack of a dedicated google assistant button both of these headphones have Google assistant integration and the Bose even has Elector integration but in order to use these features you have to sacrifice either these headphones and extra physical buttons that would otherwise be used to manually cycle through your ANC settings like this noise canceling ambient sound ambient sound control ah not having this functionality can get pretty annoying cuz I switched from ANC to ambient sound mode on DM threes on all regular basis now I'm fully aware that if you press and hold on either of these headphones you can summon your voices system but pressing and holding and then talking isn't as efficient as having a dedicated Google assistant Boyan or you just press and talk like this set the studio light to blue okay changing the studio light to blue such a studio light degree you got it changing the studio light to green such a still relate to render okay changing the studio light to red what's the weather like New York City on Saturday Saturday in New York City it'll be mostly sunny with a high of 80 and a low of 67 its 6:22 p.m. you don't have new notifications right now so what I'm getting at is I do like that both of these headphones have Google assistant integration but I wish these headphones had an extra physical button so we don't have to sacrifice the manual noise cancellation setting button cuz having to open the app on your phone every time you want to cycle between your noise cancellation settings can get pretty annoying and finally I don't usually do this in a versus video but here's the microphone test and the microphone on the Sony WH 1000 X and 3 but sound better than the microphone found on the both QC 35 series too cuz the microphone on people's QC 35 series 2 does have a considerable amount of static so I wouldn't recommend taking phone calls with these headphones so for the time being I think it's safe to say that the new Sony WH 1000 x m3 or currently the best active noise-cancelling headphones on the market right now just like the 1000 X and choose from last year the 1000 x m3 outright outperformed the bose qc25 series too when it comes the battery life features sound quality and active noise cancellation performance but more importantly the 1000 x m3 is improved where the 1000 x m2 is fell short and as a result the fit and build quality of the 1000 X and threes is finally on par of that of the bose qc25 the only reason I would pick up the bose qc25 now is because you need the more spacious ear cups multi-device connectivity is a must for you you really want that Alexa integration or just for plain looks but for me the sony wh 1000 x m3 or going to be my daily drivers from now on now remember if you want to learn more about either of these headphones then please watch their full reviews if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so
