I'm a basin plain and simple that's why the Sony xb9 50 n one on my go-to headphones and if you watch my last video you know i like the sony MDR 1000x over the bose qc25 mainly because they sound better and I really like the ambient sound features but some people have asked me if they should get to XP 950 and one what the 1000x so which right for you we're about to find out don't forget to Like comment and subscribe and you can check out some of my other videos here after they don't watch in this video almost everything in Sony's lineup is on sale which is just awesome when they first came out with the sony xba-40 n1 they retail for $249 for one hundred seventy eight dollars but at the time of this recording you can get them for as low as 100 $24.99 that's insane and you've got two colors to choose from black or green the sony MDR 1000x it's also on sale they used to retail for 399 and last week they're on sale for three hundred twenty eight dollars but right now now on sale for two hundred ninety-eight dollars i don't know how long these prices will last but if you want to pick either these headphones up I'll have links in description below and I'll keep them updated so you can get the best deal possible first orders let's adjust the designs of these headphones they're both mainly made out of plastic they both have the same metal headbands the material on the faux leather ear comes and headband to feel exactly the same they can both be laid flat and D both fold up but you will notice the XP 950 and one on much larger and bulkier than the 1000x the Sony xb9 50 n1 are so large that you can actually see them in your peripheral vision when you put them on but what that has an X on the other hand have a much more subtle design and they're much more low-profile the Sony 1000 X basically are much more professional-looking and although both of these are very comfortable headphones to wear I would pick the 1000 X over the xB 950 n1 for two very small reasons the first reason is because the cut in the ear cup is larger on the 1000 X then on the 950 n1 so they don't press on my earlobes while I wear them and the second reason is because since the 1000s have much less padding than the 950 and one they don't warm your ears up as much but like I said they're both very comfortable to wear but I'm just being nitpicky and as objective as possible another main feature of these has folded back noise cancellation and although the active noise cancellation on the XP 950 n1 is decent it's nowhere near as good as a 1000 X if you're going to be travelling or commuting a lot the 1000 X is the way to go they can handle airplane bus and city noise much better than the XP 950 anyone the north cancellation on XP 950 n1 is only worth using in a quiet environment like a coffee shop office or at home and not to mention the 1000x also feature ambient sound settings there's ambient sound normal well the headphones will pump in all the surrounding sound in this is a good feature to have if you're walking in the city then there's ambient sound voice the hassles will block out the majority of the surrounding sound and will only let in people's voices this features good to have if you're working in office and your boss is asking you for those useless TPS reports and then there's your standard noise cancellation settings well they will block out everything whereas with the XP 950 and 1 you can only turn noise cancellation on or off and with the sony 1000x if you cover the touchpad on the right ear cup the headphones will lower the volume of whatever you're listening to and let in all the outside sound in so someone is trying to talk to you you can hear them without having to take off your headphones this by 4 is my favorite feature in speaking of the touchpad you control your music playback on the 1000x by double tapping to play or pause your music you swipe front or back to skip or go back a track you swipe up or down to adjust the volume and you can press and hold to activate Siri it's easy to use and it's very accurate in order to control your music playback on the XP 950 n1 you just use the rock of found on the right ear cup it's easier to find and very straightforward as well I just wish the volume rocker on the 950 n1 was textured so it's easy to find concerning tech specs both of these headphones are using bluetooth 4.1 and they both have a range of around 40 feet with the right line of sight with your phone when it comes to battery life that XP 950 n1 is good for two hours and the 1000x is good for 20 hours and that's when they're being used wirelessly and with noise cancellation turn on if you use these headphones at lower volumes over the noise cancellation turn off or with a wide connection then you'll be able to get longer battery like that of them but just know both of these headphones take a while to charge back up in order to go from zero to 100 on the XP 950 and one it's going to take seven hours while with the 1000 X is going to take four hours and neither one of them has fast charging which is a bummer the biggest difference between these two headphones is sound quality the 1000 X are made for easy listening and there's enough space to keep the average person happy compared to the 950 and one the 1000x has a wider sound stage with more death and less distortion in the highs the sound on the XP 9 inches the N one is a little more forward in the instruments separation isn't as good but these things are made for peace if they will rattle your head and I love it they also get much louder sure if you're looking for something to really jam out with then the xb9 choose the n1 are the way to go and with the sony xba-40 n1 you can control the bass through some these headphones app and like I send the past so these mobile apps aren't the best but the headphones app is pretty stable through the app you can raise or lower the amount of bass 2xb 950 and 1/2 and personally I like to keep mine on 7 you can also change the surround sound setting so you can feel like you're in an arena club or concert hall but personally I just keep this feature off and you can also turn off noise canceling on the headphones we can also do that from the NC button on the head full of themselves and finally the last two main differences on these headphones are already included carrying cases with the sony MDR 1000 actually get a hard shell carrying case and with the xb9 to the n1 you just get a soft shell carrying case obviously the hard shell carrying case will offer more protection than the soft shell 1 you also get a plain adapter with the 1000x and you also get a better quality audio cable whereas with the xb9 50 and 1 you get a slightly cheaper cable and no plain adapter so which will raise for you well if you want something with a lot of bass and still sound great I would go with the XP 950 n1 and not to mention there is still at 125 but if you're going to be traveling a lot and you need something with better noise cancellation and something more low-profile then get the 1000 X basically the Sony 1000 X have far superior noise cancellation and the XP 950 n1 are made for people who love bass and listen to a lot of hip-hop rap R&B and EDF I just wish these headphones have quit charging and I would like to see Sony improve on the ear cuffs on the XP 950 n1 and make the ear cuffs on the 1000 X more breathable but at the end of the day the SB 950 n1 or still might go to headphones hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more
