what's up everyone so today I'm doing a versus video between the Sony XP 950 n1 and the beef so no three a good friend of mine is in the market for some headphones and they don't really want to spend more than $300 he's also a big fan of hip hop and R&B so naturally the Sony xb9 to the n1 and the beats solo 3 came to mind so let's compare the two so money wise the sony xb9 50 n1 retail for around $250 and coming two colorways black or green to be solo three coming eight different colorways and when it comes to price things get a little interesting Apple site currently sells them for two hundred ninety nine ninety five but I found an awesome deal directly from Amazon where the glossy black ones on sale for one eighty nine ninety nine and you can get most of the other colors for $219 or less I'm not sure how long does it last but I'll have links in the description below so you can get either one sure both the Sony xb9 fifty and one in the beats solo2 are made mostly out of plastic and they have very similar build qualities but these two products are very different from one another and I believe they targets you very differently so these two headphones have two very different designs the Sony headphones are on the larger side and like I've said in past videos you can still see them in your peripheral vision when you put them on some people might even say they still a little silly walking around with them on in public the Sony Xperia 50n one also have two very important features to beat so those three don't have in this noise cancellation and an extra base feature but the beats solo 3 also has two features are certainly X being 950 and one doesn't have and that's the w1 chip and fast charging capabilities and not to mention their smaller size make them a whole lot easier to travel like I just said I think Sony and beats by dre aka Apple are going for two very different consumers but also certainly headphones are larger their ear cups go over the ear which results in added comfort and better passive noise isolation they also have an extra base feature which is meant for people who absolutely love bake you can even adjust how much space they have through their smartphone now the Sony exponentially anyone also have active noise cancellation which says a very decent job it's not as good as the Bose to see 35 but the noise cancellation is still very good this leads me to believe that Sony is really trying to cave into audio files looking for something relatively affordable Apple on the other hand seems to be catering for the average Joe everyday user the beats all three have a 40 hour battery life which just destroys the Sony xb9 to the enones 22 hours a day they also have Apple's new w1 chip that just makes switching between either of your Apple devices super easy sure the Sony xb9 50 n1 has bluetooth 4.1 and pair with up to two devices simultaneously but switching between different devices just isn't as seamless as a beat solo 3 so if you're heavily invested into Apple 2 ecosystem the W 1 chip might matter a lot the beats oh look we also feature fast fuel which will get you 3 hours of playback from just 5 minutes of charging and if you're always on the go this feature can really come in handy Apple is really pushing there it just works philosophy with ease sound wise beats by dre have always been based heavy and to be sold through your nose section they sound a little better than the beeps hello - but that's not saying the based on the solos we can be a little overpowering at times the high screen your little tinny and sound stage isn't as wide as other headphones in the $300 price bracket there's only XP 950 anyone on the other hand sounds way better and as the box implies these headphones have a lot of basic but unlike the beats total 3 the bass on the Sony SB 950 and one isn't overpowering it's very clear and they actually add to the listening experience instead of reducing the overall sound quality like I mentioned earlier traveling with the beats solo 3 can be a little easier due to their smaller size and they also come included with the soft shell carrying case it doesn't do much but I do prefer it over the pouch Sony includes with their xb9 kpn one if you do decide to travel with the XP 950 and one it would be a good idea to invest in a third party hardshell case overall Sounion Apple took two very different approaches with the headphones Apple decided to push their a chose worse philosophy by giving the beats solo three or four hour battery life SAS feel in a w1 chip that makes switching between your Apple devices agreed but the beats all operate aren't the most comfortable headphones out there and or sound quality is just mad Sony on the other hand is trying to give premium features at a reasonable price back to noise cancellation on the Sony XP 950 n1 is decent and they generally sound really good not to mention their extra bass feature really make them stand out but their larger size and shorter battle age can be a setback if you're always on the go with them not to mention reverting back to Bluetooth 4.1 after using the w12 for a while can be a little annoying first of all problem if I had to choose between the two I would pick this only SP 950 n1 hands down but get into gloss black beats solo pretty from 180 999 is a pretty solid feel hey if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed the video if you could please high-five the like button it helps the channel grow if you like videos like this subscribe for more product reviews and fitness advice videos coming for more check out Jim Keaveney and I'll catch you next time
