if you've been following the channel for a while now you know how you absolutely love to so many 1000 xm2 because of their ANC performance but I know dropping 350 dollars on a pair of headphones is a lot for some people so let's check out sony's newest and cheapest ANC headphones the sony whch 710 and let's see how the anc on these guys stacks up to the anc on the one dozen XM - ok from here on out i'm going to be referring to these headphones that has the 700 ends these headphones come in either black silver or blue colorways and they currently retail for 199.99 like i mentioned earlier the 1000x and two's usually we tell for $350 if you want to pick either with these headphones up I'll have links in the description below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel I suggest you check them out cos Sony headphones routinely go on sale so he might get lucky first let's go over what comes in the box cuz I was genuinely surprised that these headphones didn't come included with at least a carrying pouch regardless I still recommend you invest in a hard shell carrying case if you plan on traveling a lot with these headphones these headphones do come included with a 3.5 mm audio cable and a short mic your USB cable for charging and that's it these headphones will also have a lot in common with the sony xba-40 and one particularly when it comes to the plastic body panels the plastic on the 700 ends is more textured whereas the 1000 X and choose plastic is completely smooth the 700 ends also have a stainless steel headband and synthetic leather on the ear cups which is pretty standard issue for Sony but they are very lightweight coming in at just 234 grams whereas the 1000 X and twos weigh in at 277 grams when it comes to fit compared to the 1000 X and choose the 700 ends giveth and they taketh first of the 700 ends fit very snug but keep in mind I have a big head but the 700 ends have the most clamping force out of Sony's headphone lineup but they're not uncomfortable since the ear cuffs pivot and swivel a good deal you'll be able to conform to most head types the only bummer is that they don't fold up depending on the 700 ends also isn't as soft as a padding found on the 1000 X and choose but again they still manage to be comfortable but what I do like about this 100 ends is dirtier Cup design they're much roomier than the ear cups on the 1000x and choose but they managed to stay very low-profile they also do a slightly better job of preventing overheating these are borderline bighead approved but if you want a looser fit with the $200 budget then you'll be better off with the audio-technica anc 700 bt like for that review up above if we look at the left ear cup you're going to see your noise cancellation button to toggle a and c on or off there's an easily accessible 3.5 millimeter audio jack for passive listening there's your micro USB cable for charging and the power button it is important to keep in mind that these headphones do not have an ambient sound setting like the 1000 X and choose and like I've said on the past I would have very much preferred if these headphones used or USB C port instead I thought only what have had jumped on USB C by now the right ear cup houses the control buttons which are very similar to the control buttons found on the XP 950 and once there's a volume rocker so you can adjust the volume and there's a switch so you can quickly skip or go back a track and if you press it you can play or pausing music and I really like these controls because you can quickly and easily skim through your music even faster than the touch controls used on the sony 1000x and to which I'm not hating on cuz they're very accurate but not as fast as the physical rocker it is also important to keep in mind that both the 700 ends and 1000 X M choose will support Google assistant in the near future like the bose qc25 series to that feature hasn't been released yet but just know it is coming but in the meantime you can summon your voices system by pressing and holding the rocker down just like the 1000s and choose the 700 ends is using bluetooth 4.1 and they have a range of about 40 feet with direct line-of-sight the connection on these headphones it is very stable and there weren't many issues even if there was a wall or two between the headphones and my phone these headphones are also pretty good for watching video because dole AMC isn't that bad but these headphones can only be connected to one device at a time so if you're a power user that might be a setback it's one of the things I hate most about the 1000s and choose what the 700 ends have an extraordinarily long battery life so any advertised about a life of 35 hours and with ASC and Bluetooth turned on and with the volume set at 50% these guys managed to average 37 hours of playback time and with AMC turned off these guys managed to hit 45 hours of playback time but even though their battery life is impressive their quick charging isn't if you plug them in for 10 minutes don't get you one hour playback time which is laughable compared to other headphones out there when it comes to the active noise cancellation on the 700 ends obviously it's not going to be as good as the ANC on the 1,000 XM 2 the ANC on the 700 and matches to block out a good amount of road noise when you're on the bus but when it comes to blocking out chatter the 700 ends don't really do much but like a 1000 XM choose the 700 ends don't have any noticeable cabin pressure and like I mentioned earlier the 700 ends don't have the ambient sound feature which allows you to pump in some of the surrounding sounds and they also don't have quick attention which is by far my favorite feature found on the 1000 XM - when it comes to sound quality the 700 ends have a surprising amount of bass and through so nice headphones app you can go in and adjust the EQ on these headphones so if you want you can crank the bass up to a 10 or you can bring the mids out and put an emphasis on vocalists but definitely these headphones do not share the same clarity and wide soundstage found on the 1000 X 10 - no matter how much I played around the EQ under 700 N there just wasn't enough instrument separation so everything just sounds close together and these headphones don't really sound that different with ANC turned on or off but if you're going to be listening to music out in public just know these headphones do have a considerable amount of sound leakage like your bus partner is gonna be able to sing along through Sony's app you can also toggle a and C on or off way you can adjust how strong you want it and you can also play around the surround setting all these headphones but since all that feature does is to start the music I never use it okay and here's the microphone test and it's not that bad if you're gonna talk to somebody on the phone you might have to speak up a little bit but this audio clip is being recorded by the microphone on the Sony whch 700 n so you better do that so for 200 rollers the ANC on the Sony whch 700 N is really only worth using for your bus ride commute to work or school or in an already quiet office if you're walking around the city or in a much noisier environment like an airport the ANC on the 700 ends isn't going to do much I just can't stress how good the agency on the 1000x m2 is but in general the 700 ends are a pretty good buy because they have good build quality for 200 headphones and they fit very well just as long as you don't have a big head they had a very long battery life which makes them great for everyday carry their low latency make them good for watching videos but they don't sound amazing just good enough if you made it this far I guess you
