Amazing sound but moderate NC
Well, finally I have got my order from Prime Day. It came in sealed box, very nice and elegant. Yes it is plastic, but looks very sexy, I have ordered blue color, it is something different than my Beyerdyamics, Pioneers and Sony MDR-1ADAC. Its sound really impressed me, very clean, crisp and with good basses. However Noise Cancelling function is not at top... I have read many complains here regarding this model`s Noise Cancelling function. Lets say so, it is moderate, in 10 point system it will make 6 points, in 5 point system it will make maybe 3. The truth is that it blocks mainly background noise, like groove or other noise. But you will definitely hear child voice, people speaking etc. I can see that Sony put here not the best NC technology they have, and it is logical. They put it on the model which costs 150$ extra (1000xm2). I bought it for 98$ and for that price it is really good.
Pros:
- Looks very sexy and stylish in blue color
- It is light
- It sounds simply AMAZING! I just cant believe that wireless headphones can sound like this!
- It holds 30-35 hours (not tested yet)
- It can be used wired
- It has controls on unit
- It can be controlled from mobile phone (Sony app), which is awesome function! You can edit, modify sound, equalizer, turn on and off NC
- Noise Cancelling not the worst in NC headphones
Cons
- It is totally plastic and this may cause broke one day
- It does not have case or bag
- Noise Cancelling is moderate, blocks about 50-60% of sounds
- Sony does not use soft leather, but cheap kind of synthetic one
- It may be expensive for 198$, as there are some interesting models for cheaper price
I guess that is all. At the moment I am burning them and will do that for 7-9 days continuously.
I am sure sounding will dramatically change after that!
