GYMCADDY What headphones is more stronger an have more durability.
Sorry for my english, i am Mexican and i don't use traslate.
Ordered the Bose but while watching this video I changed my mind about 14 times
glennsmooth There are so many opinions on these two headphones its impossible to make one yourself if you dont't try them. I haven't tried the Bose but after hearing about its comfort. I changed my mind atleast 10times.
Listening to this video with my 1000xm2 😸🎧
+j4jealousy good choice👌🏼
j4jealousy I have em too
Same
same
Damn are they good for noise cancelling tho... even tho I think the bose sound better I enjoy noise cancelling more
It's worth mentioning that all the Bluetooth Headphones, including the 1000xm2, could activate google assistant by long pressing the answering call button. Don't understand why BOSE is making this function looks like a big deal..
Vambow Fan I don't why. Maybe because no one has mentioned it in any of the dozens the Sony reviews I've seen. I might have missed it, but I haven't even seen that detail mentioned in the Sony manual. You would think SOMEONE would have mentioned that detail by now . Interesting.
Holding the center of the touch pad (play/pause) brings up Google Assistant or Siri. Same thing for just about any wired or wireless headphones with a play/pause button.
Or any virtual assistant for that matter (Siri, Bixby, etc.).
Lmao true, i can go on the Bose app and change the function of that button
I know its an old thread, but as stated in this review, having a dedicated google assistant button (which can be configured for diff purpose) has one noted advantage for iPhone users. Using the multi purpose function button will activate default assistant only, which is siri for iPhone users, and having this button is the only way to use google assistant on iPhones.
For Android, i guess it might still help for certain devices (like samsung) which may have other assistants (bixby) configured as default ?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT!!!! :'(
Which ones did you get? I'm trying to decide right now :[
My heart is saying bose
But my brain is saying sony
Ok so I just went to Best buy and exchanged Bose qc35ii for the Sony wh1000xm2 and the comfort is horrible for me. Sound is better, even more fun and entertaining but the comfort of the Bose is more important to me.
Having a hard time picking between these 2 headphones? Easy. It depends on who or what you are. If you're just a random person who wants to show off about your expensive headphone or just thinking about good design and comfort, well choose Bose QC35 II. But if you're a musician or a person who really love music? Then choose Sony WH 1000XM2. EASY as that.
The Bose qc35ii noise-canceling is much better and does not give u a headache like the Bose qc35i does. As for the mic I work in a noisy semi truck. I bought the Sony's but the callers could hear all the background noise and could barely hear me. Then I bought the bose it was like night and day the bose mic did not pick up any background noise and my voice was clear to the callers.
The Sonys have a pressurization adjustment function. If the band is too tight, you can bend that out, vs tightening the Bose. If the Sony pads are too small, for you, you can change them out with Dakoni pads. The Sonys also have hiss without music, at least mine do. The Bose have a well space for your ear lobes, Sonys don't.
I think the bose looks better but that's it everything else is better on the sonys this was a great video
Shane Graceson Bose have better comfort but yeah only comfort and looks are better than Sony's
And the Bose got better Build quality
And comfort. If anybody cares about that even
They don't look that much better. They have a better ear cushions and I don't like the folding mechanisms on my XM2s.
I used Bose and a few other NC headphones, but recently returned to my in ear Etymotics with custom molded ear buds. Better sound and great noise blocking that can be packed into a case about the size of a pack of cards. Plus they never need a charge.
Love your reviews way underrated👍
thanks!
I have the Bose qc35ii , bought them a few days ago, didn't have where to try the sony here, but it's ok because the bose are amazing, very comfortable and the sound quality is amazing (i'm listening to various styles like classical, stromea, tim buckley).
i also bought with them the bose soundsport wireless which i find very good as well.
Good review, thanks. However, please stop saying the full product name every 5 seconds. It un-necessarily lengthens the video without adding any value to the content.
Indraneel Phadke this video is stolen
I got rid of the sony for bose. Sony are superior in terms of sound quality and anc, however, my Bose headband has not losend and is much more comfy as a result. For longevity, go bose. For usage now and again (not daily), go sony!
Bose adds google assistant for android users but doesn't add aptX :(
Thanks for the video! Finally, someone answered my comparison questions between the two headphones!!!
Bruh i can hear hella wind with my pair of bose when im walking
yup, thats what i meant by wind noise.
It's almost no contest; Sony wins imo, especially if u have newer Android which is going to get LDAC codec with 8.0 Android version. It's even better than aptX.
Arttu Laitinen Right in addition to, Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX and AptX HD.
Actually you don't need to have oreo, you just need the most advanced and underrated phones of all time: SONY XPERIA'S
Arttu L for me it's the bose. When I'm getting wireless headphones my priority is good build quality and comfort and the bose wins in that aspect. If I really wanted something that sounds good I would go for something that's wired because those would sound way better.
LOL the look of disappointment with Siri's answer to "Who was president eight years ago?" Loved it.
Thanks for the comprehensive review, Great Job
Hi, you should make a video comparison between Sony 1000X and Sony 1000MX2. Nobody has done that yet :-)
Great, informative, comprehensive comparison! Still would like to try them on for myself to judge the comfort and sound
On Android you turn "OK Google" ON and you have voice commands on any Bluetooth headphones... even when it plays music,it will stop the music give an answer and when finished it will turn the music back on.
awesome review! straight to the point without missing important details👌
Amazing review!! Thanks!! Was going to get the bose until I saw your drawbacks in this video
Great video review! If you have to choose one, in terms of comfort, in my case when I go to the gym, I like listening to music, but also to have them hanged around the neck, which one is the winner in terms of comfortness? Thank you
*HUMBLE SUGGESTION*
Perhaps in the future, you might label on the screen which device you are featuring and demonstrating at a given moment. In this video, the color of the Bose and Sony were fairly similar, so at times it was difficult to tell which device you were demonstrating. I found myself rewinding a few times to get a better look.
All and all, great video! I’ll be coming back to see more reviews!
Great video by the way. Which one has the better microphone. I'm wondering which one is better for gaming if I decide to do that.
sound quality is subjective. The Bose is comfortable, the Sony feels like you're sticking your head into a vice grip.
Bob Brown Nah you just have a big skull.
They get hot af tho
Nice video! Sony better this time!
Hey love your reviews, I ended up picking up the XM2 because of these. FYI you can activate Siri/Google assistant on the XM2 by tapping and holding for 3 seconds. You can also rapidly increase/decrease volume by swiping up or down and holding.
hey Victor, during listening music in home where is quiet did You hear any ultra frequency high sound (like working electronic equipment) ? BR Michael
Michal Lubik no not at all. Pure (eerie) silence in quiet environment.
Thanks for this review. I went Sony over Bose. I tried both in the store and after listening to the Sony ANC, Bose sounded terrible for all the reasons you mentioned. I can not tell much difference in audio cause my ears, but the ANC was so noticeable that I couldn't even wear the Bose anymore. While I thought the Bose felt better on my head, I felt like the Sony had a better build quality myself.
Excellent detailed comparison. Awesome review.
Thank you for making and posting this. Nice job
When you activate noise cancellation on the sony model you have the impression to hear a washing machine sound, quite disapointed with that. What is the point of having a noise cancellation feature that finally creates sounds inside!? I don't know if Bose does better but i hesitate to give my xm2 back.
you have choosen the best color for each version of the headphones, the bose ones look better, are thinner and are extremely comfortable. The sony ones sound better. I'll buy both if the sony ones don't convice me and test them myself
i will wait for the WH-1000XM3
Bose needs to do some more upgrades to their headphones
M. Harrison apple makes hardware innovations nothing to physical
Elvin C. "Hardware innovation" $80 to get wireless charging while paying $1k for a phone FeelsBeryGood
Hing holo not for poor people
Which one do you prefer when working out at the gym? That's where I use them the most. I have the Bose and love them, yet I still find myself looking at other ones.
Excellent review, sir!
I'm having a hard time chosing the right over ears for me. I have a fairly big head therefore I would like to ask: How big is your head? Mine is 62.5cm or 25.5 inches big. Do you think I should therefore pick the Bose over the Sony?
And btw: great video!
Thank you for your review, I'll be picking up the Sony's
Thinking of buying either of this two, What do you feel about working out (not cardio) with these? Although these are not very portable like the earbuds (x3s,bose qc20) I really want to have the industrial standard ANC in a very noisy crowded gym. Will the Sony be durable in the long run with sweating.Or would you rather prefer the Sony over the neck one that recently came out. TRY TO MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS TAKING ANC and durability in consideration
Excellent review thanks
How is the comfort on the Sony 1000xm2? I've tried the bose and I fell in love with how comfortable and light the headphones were.
So would you end up going with the sony's because they seem to be better in almost every other field, or stick with bose?
Damn dude. This is a hard call for me. I love Bose, always used them but I'm tempted to get the Sony headphones. Might have to go check them out in stores.
This is extremely helpful. Thank you!
As far as noise cancelling its very simple there are hundreds of apps to block noise such as noise wall and others which do the trick no matter what headphone you use and the apps come with different themes such as airplane cabin sound or fan sound and rain etc....just saying
Which is better to use with Apple? I have all Apple everything.
Also, which is better to work out with?
Great channel! Subscribed!
hopefully this will help: czcams.com/video/GhvXoOc0V1A/video.html
GYMCADDY Thanks so much! Love your channel and appreciate you! Keep up the amazing work and videos!
Bose it’s great in confront BUT you’ll get headaches the cabin pressure is to strong. I tried the bose at Best Buy and left with headache!
Sony just looks much better. I worked in retail. Most teenagers chose either Sony or Beats. Bose? Probably once a year. But most adults would still choose Bose.
Are you implying that teenagers have a better fashion sense?
Ben Shore Just a much newer fashion sense
Don't you know you can talk to voice assistant by long pressing the touch pad on 1000xm 2?
Great comparison
For me the only thing I like about the Bose is the superior comfort. Other than that I'd gladly take the Sonys anyday.
Which one are good for working out??
Yo man I think you should review the Bowers and Wilkins PX wireless. They are very impressive!
+Umanga Amatya I will
Nice vid! QC 35 still remains a contender on NC, still has good sound and great comfort. Sony is just better.
I wonder if there's a leakage of sound in Sony's, thank you so much!
I keep hearing that the sony is uncomfortable after a few hours of use, can you verify this? I also heard that it makes your ears warm. Thank you Gymcaddy.
hey buddy I want to ask so which two headphones do you think are the best to buy the sony headphones or the bose headphones
i bought the Sony 950n1 would you say for someone who loves music and quality of music its worth getting or do you know if sony is coming out with something special in 2018
If u can only choose one, which one u prefer?
Having a device that suppports ldac like I do, the bose audio quality is just not even close
Sorry to say this but i fucking hate the sound of the xm2's. Can tell you this because i bought them myself from bestbuy. They lack so much highs it drives me crazy. Returned the xm2's, bought me the bose and i was impressed. So much more details in my songs i've never heard. Bose has a neutral sound while sony's have an unbalanced sound i personalyl dont like. Xm3's are great though
is the aptx thing something that you can change via software?
I assume the bose has better soundstage because of he deeper earcups and wider earcup holes?
Yes and also the bose have a neutral sound with good highs. Sony's sound muddy and lack highs which doesnt give detail like the bose.
Which is the best one....
Can you comment on both their phone call quality? Previous versions of both headphones have issues of picking up too much background noise for the person on the other end of the call when doing phone calls that it is almost unusable. Especially in noisy office settings and also windy conditions. Did both the headphones fix this issue? Thanks.
great video!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING AND LOOKING FOR A REVIEW OF THESE TWO HEADPHONES. I'm still not sure what to buy, anyone have any more suggestions :(
I had the QC 35 I for 2 weeks, then decided to give the Sony's a try.
Comfort: Bose, hands down, the Sony's clasp too tight and the design for the cups are not concave like the Bose. They're flat so if your ears stick out like mine, they will constantly touch the headphones and this creates discomfort.
On to "cabin pressure" for the Bose. Everyone's body is different. Mine adjusted to that and I don't get that feeling anymore - took my ears 2 days to acclimate.
Audio: Sony, by quite a lot.
Noise Cancelling: Sony, very very slightly but I found it to have a constant hissing sound so I prefer the Bose.
Pairing: Bose, if you have multiple devices you can just stop listening to one and play the other. This is extremely useful.
I will buy the QC 35 II and stay with them and return the Sony. For me, comfort is the most important thing. For you it may be something different. I use it mainly for the noise cancelling while I study with music turned off.
Joan Ferreras thanks for the info. Might get the bose for the comfort but still paranoid about that cabin pressure feeling.
This is a great comparison. Thank you so much, but I'm still not 100% sure as to which to get, but nobody can be 100% I guess.
Roger Huw Jones simple, buy both. That's what i did
So x2 is better for really loud noices?
what does ear cup size have to do with build quality? Build quality has nothing to do with that
Does changing the ANC on the Bose app help with the pressure on the eardrum?
The Sony 1000x and, apparently it’s upgrade, will turn off ANC every 5 minutes unless you are paired with some device over BT or have a wire connected to the audio jack. That seems, to me, to be a fatal flaw.
Philip McDunnough after turning it on 3 times it remains on
roespeloes ...that is excellent news. Still think it should have an option to disable the auto shutoff.
Are the sony's good for the gym. I do alot of cardio.
No
Okay.
On a scale of 1-10 how good is the sound quality on both of these headphones? asking for unbiased answers here xD
Help a brother out will ya.
Sanesh Alright since I have thoroughly testesd out the Bose QC35 I will give the soumd quality an 8 out of 10 because it doesn't have a wider dynamic range and the bass is overpowerd by the highs amd mids but other than that they have great sound qualuty. I know that you posted your comment two months ago so I don't know if you have gotten your choice of headphones yet but just in case you haven't decided yet I wanted to help you out by giving you this information.
What wireless headphones would you recommend in general? (Doesn't have to have ANC)
+Alejandro Márquez my go to headphones are the Sony XB950N1. I'm a bass head tho but the 1000XM2 come second.
Alright thanks!
GYMCADDY The N1s have ANC, haven't they?
my volume fluctuates when I listen to EDM on bluetooth. Is there a fix to that?
I rocked the 1000x very hard, loved them. But I agree, the m2 are soo much better!
David Marte what are the main improvements in your opinion?
in the Noice Cancelling dept, I like the app and the fact that I have a lot more control of the NC settings and also the Auto-NC. I like the new Codecs as well, such as APTX-HD.
I have a really big head lol which of these headphones would you recommend? I like the features you presented with the Sony headphones but the bose seem better for my head lol What do you think?
They're both fine for big heads. I also have a big head and they both fit me just great.
Does the Sony wh-1000 xm2 good for iPhone ?
That creaky noise on sony wh 1000mx2 made me send them back on bestbuy im afraid on breaking them after a couple of months
Watching now...good info, excellent video. Consider a slower rate of speech. :-)
Why does the link to buy the qc35 does not work ?
Both are sound quality are really good BUT the Sony are prone to crack. Just read the many reviews online of people still reporting their headphones cracking despite Sony claiming they fixed it. For a lot of money keep it safe... Bose
Please Compare Sony 1000XM2 Vs Beats Studio 3. I like bass and high volume. Which headphones will be better in this? Greetings from the Czech republic ;-)
+danny-v papasan I will 👍🏼
Sony xb950n1
Umanga Amatya: No thank you. I had them and returned them. Sound good, but that's all.
I bought the 1000x (1) one week ago.
:(
how you find it, is it good?
Ahmed Alshaikh
Its great.. just less comfortable than the Bose.
Im not english ans i dont understand all so what is the best ?
I got a lot of confused I'm going to buy the both headphones why should be confused
How real are the build quality issues with the Sony headphones? I have read so much about them cracking. Apparently this is still a problem. :(
notabanana not sure how people could know if it's an issue already... we'll have to see. But yeah, definitely would like to hear gymcaddy's thoughts on the cracking once he's had them for longer
I've had two gen of 1000x i didn't notice any cracking, i guess if you use it properly its ok
Those people are mistreating their belongings that's all it is. I own them and I can't understand how people even stress the supposed problem area.
I have the mdr 1000x now for a month and there's no cracking whatsoever, love these headphones!
More than crackingn you should worry about internal build quality. I had a pair of qc25, same design as the qc35, and a colleague who also had them warned me of the left earcup defect, where sound simply stops. It happened to him after seven months and happened to me after 8 months. I kept them extra protected as i was so worried... i got them replaced, as he did, but sold them straight after. I am not gettig the qc35, i just bought the sony xm2.
thanks, i bought the Sony xm2 and then heard bose were releasing the qc35 ii and was like ah shit maybe they went hard back at sony for the 1000x. had the xm2 for a week ill keep em. on a side question how would you compare the xm2's to the Nuheara IQ Buds
i ask this only as i have 14$ MPOW bluetooth headphones that have louder audio better base and the sound quality isnt a world appart
The noise cancelling is really nice on the sony and the MPOW has none but the Nuheara IQ Buds has this is why i ask
Which one you prefer
+salman ahmed Sony
+GYMCADDY as per sound quality
sony
But the sony doesnt have multi device simultaneous playback. Deal breaker
This is a big one. I'm currently considering returning my Sonys for a Bose.
Wow, didn’t realize that. Being able to easily switch from MacBook or iPhone with a simple “pause” button click spoiled me.
Please review the Sennheiser PXC550.
went for the Sony's.........reason €180 on sale.
Sony just needs the comfort
Do your qc35 ii have low volume issues when connected to your iphone via bluetooth? Or is it just me :(
+Alvin Lu it's probably just you. Sorry. Mine don't have any issues at low volume
not at low volume. the bose plays music at lower volume compared to my other headphones. either way, cant figure the problem out and looks like ill be returning my qc35ii for some 1000mx2. thanks for the review, helped a lot!
yeah, aside build quality and comfort, I prefer the 1000XM2
yeah they are great, until they break that makes you regret why you buy this expensive headphone anyway?
Man u can just say bose or sony not the whole name repeatedly
Ahmed Jameel far out man I agree. Review is good though
