considering how well Sony have been doing with their Bluetooth speakers active noise-cancelling headphones and TVs I think they might be on fire right now the new WF 1000x are active noise-cancelling truly wireless earphones that I personally paid for these retail for $200 but as always I'll place my affiliate links down in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale so without further ado I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review and before we get started guys this video was sponsored by ramp out USB cords and I personally use ramp out for work as their fabric braided for durability and protection and we have them at the office for testing products I also have one in my car to charge my phone and I do keep one in the camera bag for on-the-go they have USB to type C and lightning cables that are available in a variety of colors they're reliable dependable and featuring a lifetime warranty for peace of mind use my discount code in the description and see how much you can save ramp a USB cords are the cords for life alright folks the WUF 1000x are slick as hell here this resembles the classic Sony design but offering a very modern yet simple build certainly understated elegance now behind these Smoke plastics the antennas are visible for the wireless connection and the very fronts are microphones for active noise-cancelling phone calls and use with Google assistance in Siri more on that a little bit later but both earphones are very minimalistic the left earphone has one button to power and pair the earphones with single presses you cycle through returning active noise-cancelling on switching to ambient aware or turning off all of these features now for those who don't know ambient aware it turns a handy microphones and feeds your surrounding noise into your ears as though you don't have earphones in your ears now it might be ideal for those who are commuting biking or doing activities where you want to be aware of your environment now on the right side a single press answers phone calls when they're coming in and testing phone call quality my voice comes across very loud and it wasn't a bad thing though very clear during speech but like most headphones like most microphones that is it does pick up background noises quite well during music playback a single press pauses and plays your music and with a long hold down activating Google assistant or serious as possible now because of how small these are unfortunately don't receive buns to adjust volume which was kind of a nuisance here a little hike inserting these Samsung icon X any drama elite sport to other truly wireless earphones have the ability to do so now although these are not sport earphones many other truly wireless earphones on the market are also water resistance and I'm not running with these on would have loved the peace of mind now getting into comfort the retail package comes with a ton of ear tips both traditional silicone and foam ear tips I were the factory silicone that came out of the package and they stayed in perfectly fine j-bird runs I had the most problems with the Jabra sport elite were good and he samsung gear icon acts were great I'm with the in-ear ear tips so he provided I loved how they stayed in and they were one of the best that I've ever tested included with the ear tips is your carrying case that doubles up as your charging dock you drop your earphones in press them down in place and take about an hour and a half from a dead battery to full now as for a battery life so knees climbing up to three hours of use with or without ANC on and I'm confirming two hours and 51 minutes on average now I have three hours this is only very low-end while everyone else is offering at least or a minimum of four hours at three hours there were times I did catch myself with low battery and needing to recharge and with the case at least Sony offers some form of quick charging here with 15 minutes being juiced up I was able to get back an hour worth of playback now moving on bluetooth 4.1 comes with the WUF 1000x testing this with my samsung s a+ i was able to get about 45 linear feet of range before the signal started to cut out now the only issue i know some other websites review website that is who receive samples from sony had connectivity issues between the two earbuds the left ear phone would work fine and once in a while the right earphone would mute itself then come back right away and with my pair and I bought a retail unit basically ordered it from the store I also had the same issue once in a while I would have the right side and disconnect and play no audio and then it kicks back on it's rare but it does happen though so alright going over the active noise-cancelling performance they have adaptive noise canceling there's a tiny little gyroscope inside the earphones that can tell if you're stationary walking running or on transit now it's quite impressive and the earphones have been smart enough to switch here now each area offers a slightly different outputs of active noise canceling performance with my testing the Eames II works quite well I do notice ambient air or white noise being suppressed the most well voices and other surrounding experiences are muffled now it's not QC 35 or Sony WH 1000 X headphone levels of blocking but for in-ear and to be the only true wireless earphones with ANC on the markets these did good to block out noises that you have around you so alright jumping into audio performance first thing to do here download the Sony headphone app I fell victim to this but when I first tested these I went straight into my music player and volume sounded just okay I was able to play the earphones at maximum volume and it wasn't blasting out my ears but I found within the headphone app the vibe controls are independent from my cell phone that once I turned this up the Sony WF 1000x do get loud second within the app there is an equaliser I found it to be okay living it off offer the best most well-rounded audio experience so I just left it as is so that being said the WF 1000x offered some light punchy bass I would have enjoyed just a bit more to have a bass boosted sound signature but they are distortion free clean and well balanced which may be suitable for you now those looking for a more punchy deeper bass experience the j-bird runs might be your best alternative the mid-range was great vocal performance was not recessed or pushed forward but very balanced once again accurate in my opinion 1000x also identified left and right audio channels but very easily also sound placement can be heard slightly above you with voc was definitely in the forefront now if I had a critique I found as though there could have been slightly more resolution or detail I felt there was an ever so slight amount of sparkle missing and it's possibly due to the lack of sting or sharpness and the very high frequencies so overall for the $200 price range you're getting active noise-cancelling performance and that alone justifies its price despite some areas that are slightly lacking now if I were you I'd probably hold off until the prices dropped a little bit maybe down to a hundred and eighty dollars and then consider them for sure again I've placed my affiliate links in the video description go check them out you never know when they go on sale I'm Jimmy with Jim's
