what's going on guys it's ravage consumer and today we're going to be taking a closer look at the sony MDR 1000x probably one of the most feature packed Bluetooth headphones that I've used to date and I know a lot of you guys saw on my massive Tech unboxing that I picked up an extra one of these guys to give away here on the channel and if you want to chance with that all you have to do is make sure you subscribe to the channel leave a comment down below and boom your intern doesn't have to leave a like as well but let's talk about these headphones first off we've got to talk about the design personally I'm a huge fan of the design of the 1000x it's low profile and has a classy feel with his leather like ear cups and it's all black finish now in terms of storage we've got a couple of options these are a foldable pair of headphones so you can fold them as normal or if you'd like you can lay them down completely flat which is a nice way to save space if you're throwing them in something like a backpack the overall freedom of these headphones is pretty slim especially in the headband area and it is completely made out of plastic but you don't walk away feeling like this is cheap it still feels like a high quality product and durability wise it feels pretty solid so we can make some pretty out-there looking headphones but I feel like they hit the nail on the head in terms of a nice overall classy looking design here which also gets all the check marks in terms of portability durability and overall size the only thing I'd knock about these headphones in terms of their design are the air cuts not having a more comfortable cushion someone definitely only has some way more comfortable headphones out there like the 950 BTS or 950 N ones or even be Wireless here on headphones those are all extremely comfortable this one's not so bad but songs done better in the past let's talk about that sound quality these sounds amazing the reason I often choose bezel to pick you see 35 lately is that it just sounds better the 1000x does an amazing job delivering impressive punchy bass without messing up the sound quality it has great clarity and a nice dynamic range which allows it to work well with a lot of genres of music I think you've got to be really critical to find the issues with the sound of the 1000x I think anybody who tries it out will walk away with a really good impression of these great sound and some awesome noise cancelling usually leads to a pretty good experience and speaking of noise-canceling that's one of the many features that makes this guy great for travelers commuters or anyone just looking to black out their outside sounds and I've compared this to some of the best like the bose qc25 the sennheiser pxc 550 s and it is still on top and when you've got these on it really helps to tune out everything around you so it's great if you really want to focus on your music or maybe just have a smooth commute and as I said before is this thing is feature packed so noise cancelling aside it still has a ton of features and first up we've got NFC so if you have an NFC enabled device when you want to initially pair these headphones all you got to do is tap it to the device and boom you're good to go and I like that because it just takes the hassle out of having to hold the power button for a bunch of seconds and then find it in your Settings app it's a lot easier with NFC I'm glad we have you here now we've also got this very interesting feature called ambient sound now when you turn this on the normal mode will allow you to hear things that are going on around you while still having on the headphones and listening to music there's also a second ambient mode called ambient voice now this is the feature that I use the most this feature lets only voices come in when you're listening to your music so all other ambient sounds are pretty much canceled I personally like this feature because when I'm home I like to listen to my headphones a lot and when I was trying to get my attention I don't have to completely shut her out I'm still able to hear her and that saves me a lot of trouble now let's say you're not using one of the ambient features but you still want to know what's going on around you instead of having to take off your headphones all you have to do is cut the right ear cup and it brings everything that you're listening to down to a mute so with that you're able to know what's going on without having to take off your headphones which is a very nice touch and since these are a pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones you would expect to see some audio control somewhere on the ear cups but instead we have no physical buttons but we do have gesture controls all built into the right ear cup so if you want to skip forward a track or maybe go back all you have to do is swipe right or left and if you want to control your volume swipe up or down and boom you have access to all those controls and of course you even have access to play and pause by double tapping the ear cup now I personally like having gesture controls instead of physical buttons because some blue phones tend to suffer from having way too many buttons and you kind of lose track of where the buttons are you have to hunt them down with this everyone knows where the right ear cup is and add access to their controls and we're able to have the awesome noise canceling and ambient sound features because of the mics that are built into the top of the left and right ear cup and with these it's able to take in the sounds that are going on around you and bring them into the headphones when you're using the ambient sound feature and it's able to tell the headphones exactly what to cancel out when you're using noise cancelling and so on has even implemented a crazy noise canceling optimizer feature which we can access by holding the most tempting button and what this does is it scans your head for glasses hair your head shape all kinds of information and the stuff going on around you and it tailors the noise canceling experience to fit whatever it scans which is just nuts this thing also packs a pretty standard 20 hours of battery life but with that you definitely won't be running to charge this after a couple of listening sessions and if your battery does happen to die you can still use the wired cable that it comes with to continue your listening now overall I think these are an amazing pair of headphones but what is probably the biggest flaw here is the price tag these used to retail for about 400 bucks which is expensive but now you can find them for around 350 which is the same price as the bose qc25 so if you're trying to decide between the two this one's a clear winner but there's still a lot of money well I guess that's the price you pay for great sound features noise cancelling a good design you really can't complain here you're getting a high quality pair of headphones here definitely one of my favorites for sure but it is expensive but I do think that it's absolutely worth it and definitely worth the investment luckily enough for one of you guys you don't have to pick one up you're going to be able to win one here so be sure to insert the giveaway hopefully you guys enjoy this video if you're on the fence about these hopefully this helps you out if it did be the
