what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the sony MDR 570 LP headphones yes I know Sony's got those long product names but the reason that I picked these up is because I wanted a travel style headphone something slim but not an earbud and I've got a lot of big headphones tons in fact including the sony xba-1 ZAR decent they've got decent frequency response from twelve to twenty two thousand Hertz and they've got a 30 millimeter driver which should be decent for bass representation not quite to the level of the XP 500s but decent nonetheless if you guys haven't seen my unboxing of those XP five hundreds I keep talking about which are like my favorite headphones right now then check that out I'll put a link in the annotations as well as in the description but let's talk about this unboxing it's the regular bare-bones Sony headphone unboxing experience here you've just got a little pamphlet explaining what's included they have included a little cable management adapter although I'm not sure why because the headphones have only got about four feet of cord which is what you'd expect on a portable headphone anyways I suppose it's for travel or something along those lines here's a closer look it is made of plastic but it does look metallic because of the kind of paint that they use so I do like the appearance and there are metallic components especially on the adjustment mechanism here you can see you've got a lot of play on the actual headphone itself this headband is wrapped in leather so it's got a nice finish and a nice touch to it but the main thing here is that these are so lightweight that you don't need a gigantic headband to support them they kind of just rest there on top of your ears and you don't even feel them they're light as a feather to be honest with you but there is a trade-off there's not a ton of sound isolation with these headphones here's a better look at that cable management adapter again as I said you'll probably only going to use that for travel and here's one of my pet peeves a straight connector instead of a right angle connector I really wish they had a gun with the right angle connector even better a 45-degree angle connector which I'm seeing on some headphones these days so here they are up against those XP 500s that I talked about and as you can see it's night and day the XP five hundreds are gigantic you know they have been nicknamed the Princess Leia headphones they're super comfortable but wearing them on the street they're huge and they also almost isolate sound too much to the point where you're you know you're jumpy when you see something come up over your shoulder I kind of wanted something that was less isolating as crazy as that is so here's a look at that right angle connector as I mentioned before on the XP 500s I wish they had have used this style connector on these 570 LPS instead they went for the old-school straight connector and a gigantic one at that kind of weird for a travel style headphone I'm going to get you even closer here you can appreciate the paint job you can also appreciate that adjustment mechanism that is entirely metallic so you know they're built to last they actually feel nice and sturdy and this is very well padded for an on the ear headphone as you guys can tell I'm pretty impressed I'm actually using these headphones to record this audio right now I have listened to a little bit of Daft Punk the Tron soundtrack and these things have done a pretty good job for a headphone that is this size and weight and this at this price point I mean like I mentioned I paid only twenty-five dollars for these I have to say I am fully impressed if you're looking for a travel headphone and you don't like in-ear style headphones you might want to check these out anyway guys if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and also stay tuned to the channel so many unboxings that are upcoming and if you haven't subscribed yet hey why not do it I got lots of cool products on their way anyway guys until next time I want to thank you for watching and I'll see you around the channel later guys
