Sony WI-1000X Review - The 1000XM2 Little Brother

2017-09-22
I'm a really big fan of the Sony 1000x m2 but Sony also dropped their WI 1000x on the same game the WI in WI 1000 X stands for Wireless in here and these are net been styled in your headphones but although Sony really hit the mark with their 1000 XM 2 on the WI 1000 X any good or about to find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and you can watch some of my other videos here after you're done watching this video the sony wy 1000x come in the same two colors as - 1000 XM - black and gold and they're currently retailing for to $99.99 that's the same price as the sony 1000x headphones and $50 less than the new 1000 XM - i just-i you should know if you want to pick either of these products up I'll have links in description below and I'll keep them updated so you can get the best deal possible if the unboxing experience under WI 1000 X is the same as the 1000 X n2 over ear headphones we open the lid in front and centre are the earphones underneath you'll find a few things I could micro USB cable for charging a micro USB 2 3.5 millimeter audio jack cable a few earbuds in a sock carrying case you get two sets of earbuds to choose from your standard silicone earbuds and you also get a silicone and remember hybrid pair they're sort of like comply your tips except they're much bounce here and they don't mold as much but I really like how all of the earbuds are color-coded and I really like the case they come in it really helps with organization design-wise the W I went out the next share the same design language as the Sony one does an accent to headphones obviously these are neck band styled but for those wondering they do not fold up and they are not waterproof but all of the materials used on the wi 1000x can be found in the headphones the neck band is made of the same stainless steel and there's also the same synthetic leather on the legs of the neck band there's a good amount of padding for the back of your neck and the whole unit itself weighs just 72 grams so you actually forget you're wearing them after a while there's an NFC touch point on the right side and on the left leg you'll find a micro USB port for charging on the inside of the left leg you'll find the power button volume controls and a play/pause button to control your music playback they're very raised and very easy to tell apart just by touch and they also have really good tactile feedback you press the power button once while that your phones are on it will tell you your current battery status and if you press and hold the play/pause button you'll activate Syria also the neck band will vibrate when you receive calls and to be honest it scared me half to death the first time they did so and finally on the right leg you will find the control button for the active noise cancellation from there you can toggle from ambient sound noise cancellation on and noise cancellation off moving up to the actual earbuds themselves you'll notice they're pretty big you'll notice there's a cutout for the bottom portion for the noise cancellation mic on either earbuds and you'll also notice they're angled a bit although they fit well and go pretty deep into your ear canal since the earbuds themselves are pretty heavy they will fall out if you run with them on concerning tech specs the wi 1000x have a battery life of 10 hours with noise cancellation turned on and with noise cancellation turned off they should last you for 13 hours but if you were to use them with a wide connection that with noise cancellation turned on they should last you for around 14 hours and am i testing they've actually lasted for about 12 hours with noise cancellation turned on and they also have quick charging so 10 minutes of charging should get you around 70 minutes of playback time just like the 1000 x m2 sadly the wy 1000 x is using the same bluetooth 4.1 as the 1000 x m2 which means you still get the same 40-foot wall it's range but you can't quickly switch from device to device instead you have to go into your settings menu for each device and manually disconnect the 1000 X from one device and manually connect them to your other device I just filled with apples w1 chip out there and with bluetooth for that 2 or 5.0 as an option premium headphones like these should be able to be connected to multiple devices at the same time and be able to quickly switch between them but I don't know what Sony has done with the noise cancellation technology but I really like it one of the biggest reasons I don't like to boast QC 35 is because the noise cancellation has a lot of cabin pressure and there's a lot of hissing when you're not playing music but the new 1000x headphones have no cabin pressure whatsoever in the noise cancellation is even better than the bose qc25 and most of those traits carry over to the wy 1000x the noise cancellation causes no pressure on my eardrums and they also haven't caused me and headaches and the noise cancellation mics on the wi 1000x do a really good job of rejecting one noise just like the 1000 xm2 although the in your earbuds don't offer as much passive noise isolation as the headphones you can really tell the difference once the active noise cancellation turns on but the noise cancellation on the WY 1000x is only worth using if you're indoors they do a really good job of cancelling out noise pollution like a whirling AC or road noise from a passing car but everything else still gets in and since your ears aren't encased in ear cups there's only so much the noise cancellation on the neck band can do so if your main concern is noise isolation then you're better off with the 1000 XM - the WI 1000 X also feature ambient sound settings that allow you to control how much outside noise gets pumped into the earphones they can also focus specifically on people's voices if you're walking in the city you might want to have ambient sound set high so you can know what's going on around you if you work in an office you might want to have ambient sound set to medium so if HR yells for you you can still hear them or if you just want to be in your own little world you can just turn ambient sound off and only have noise cancellation on but the funny thing is if you turn ambient sound all the way up you'll be able to hear even more stuff than you would with just your normal hearing they're like hearing aids these earphones are also connected so nice headphones app from there you can also activate that active sound control basically if your earphones detect your being still they'll have noise cancellation on but you can adjust send in the settings if the headphones detect your walking they'll raise the ambient sound a bit if they detect you're running or exercising with them don't raise the ambient sound even more but personally I wouldn't use these for working out and if they detect you're taking public transportation they'll block out everything the WY 1000x also have a built-in pressure sensor just like the 1000 x m2 so they can measure the barometric pressure in your immediate surroundings and then compensate the sound and noise cancellation accordingly the idea is they should be able to get the best noise cancellation whether you're on the ground on an airplane but I still haven't been able to test either these headphones on an airplane when it comes to sound quality these didn't blow me away their death vocals and mints or pretty good but when it comes to the lows and highs that's where these headphones fall short first the highest end to be too sharp most of the time and they do cause discomfort or they just completely crash and the bass on these headphones really like roll off in just model de receta sound but do so nice headphones app you can easily adjust the EQ of the neckband just like with the 1000 XM - but even after going through all the EQ options and even trying to adjust it myself I just couldn't find the right settings to fix the sharp eyes and model bass but through Sony's app you can also just to surround settings and change the sound positioning of these earphones but just like the 1000 xn 2 I just keep those features turned off but I know I've given Sony a lot of crap in the past for having bad mobile apps but their headphones app has been very solid even after the iOS 11 update like I mentioned earlier you can use these earphones with a wired connection you can use them all powered off or you can use them while they're on and still enjoy some noise cancellation but what I don't get is that you can't use the controls on the left leg of the neckband to control your music playback and since there's no inline control on the cable you have to whip out your phone to control your music I just wish you could just still use the buttons the WI 1000x also has a built-in microphone for phone calls just like the 1000 x m2 and just like the 1000 x m2 the microphone isn't that good i hear the person sounds too far away and you might have to speak up sometimes but this is the audio clip is being recorded with the microphone on the wi 1000x so you can be the judge of that but overall I feel WI 1000x are just man you can't work out with them because the earbuds are heavy and will fall out and the neck band will fall out of place if you're on the bench press and they're not sweat resistant although the noise cancellation is impressive a lot of sound still manages to get in and again the lows and highs and these earphones don't sound together if you're willing to spend upwards of $300 for a pair of headphones I really can't find a reason why you would get these over the 1000 XM - a Sat phone form factor hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than
