I have both headphones, the Sony 1000mx3 and the B&W PX. SOUND: However, I intend to say that B&W has a more intense bass, and Sony has a more BOOOMMM bass! Did I make myself understand? After listening a techno music at high volume, the results in my head were different: With the Sony 1000mx3 I kept my head vibrating. With the B&W PX I got my head to echo inside! The B&W PX bass comes in inside the head, and the Sony 1000mx3 vibrates the outside of the head. Different results for different tastes. I prefer the Bass of the B&W PX, more real and penetrating, like a punch in the head. Sony sounds a little artificial (comparing with the B&W PX) In addition, the B&W PX volume is higher. When it reaches the volume limit on the Sony 1000mx3, the B&W still has another 20% to add. Without a doubt, the sound of the B&W PX is superior, more defined and more elegant. I say this without any tendency, because I bought both. Do not forget the following: B&W is a company dedicated exclusively to sound, equipping high-end cars like Ferrari, BMW's etc. Sony produces a wide variety of things, from mobile phones to microwaves. B&W is a lady of sound quality, because she dedicates himself exclusively to this. COMFORT: With regard to comfort, the Sony 1000mx3 are more comfortable, nor giving almost by the presence of them in the head. 👍👍👍 However, while the B&W PXs are less comfortable, the ears stay free inside the earpiece, being cooler and not causing perspiration. The Sony 1000mx3 ears do not have space inside the headphones, and make them perspire on hotter days. Unsustainable in summer days, much less to walk down the street on sunny days. 👎 The quality of construction is top notch in the B&W PX. All in aluminum, and genuine leather. It costs € 400 in Europe but pays for the elegance and quality of construction. 👍 The Sony 1000mx3 is all in plastic and synthetic skin. In Europe costs € 380, but it seems that we are buying plastic.👎 However the Sony are lighter and therefore more comfortable. 👍 NOISE CANCELLATION: The Sony 1000mx3 has a perfect noise cancellation, it looks like you put your head inside a vacuum chamber. Perfect! 👍👍👍 The B&W PX though reasonable in noise cancellation, but are far from the Sony 1000mx3. Android/ Apple APPLICATION: With respect to the Android application to control the headphones, the Sony is perfect, as well as the indicator sounds in your own language. The B&W PX are just beeps. 👎👎👎 The B&W PX application only serves to control the level of noise reduction (which is best to keep it OFF), and to control the system to pause the music when you remove the B&W PX from your ears (which works at 80%). The app for B&W PX is terribly basic 👎👎👎 CONCLUSION? Comparing these headphones to a women, I would say: That the Sony are that kind of woman, very devoted to home and children, but a little less beautiful and more chubby. The B&W PX is that a elegant woman, very pretty, but untidy woman at home. So, if you prefer the ugly and dedicated woman at home, you will always look at the beautiful woman. If you prefer the elegant and beautiful woman, you go and wash your dishes at home. You choose. 😁😁😎 I prefer the B&W PX, although I know it does not have all those features that would do it great. I'm more of a fan of B&W PX's aesthetic and sound elegance. If you choose B&W PX you will make a good choice, but sacrificing some aspects of the Sony 1000mx3 that would make music even more enjoyable. If you buy Sony, you're just one more who bought a headset for €350. If you buy B & W, whoever watches you knows that you like not just music but sound quality. Some of the "business" websites that do the comparatives, seem to give 100% preference to Sony, but gave me the impression of sponsorship by Sony. 😀😀😀 Because everyone knows Sony, and a lot of people have never heard of Bowers & Wilkins, only sound connoisseurs know it. Thus, Sony is more mediated, and ends up having a control of public opinion, and obviously creates a subconscious tendency by Sony, even some of youtubers who make these comparatives . If you are young, and like techno, buy a Sony. But if you are over 40 years old, and want to make up for the lack of youth with charm, buy B&W PX 😎👍 . .
Great review and much better than all the bias CZcamsrs I see(not talking about this guy he seemed genuine) anyways I know this comment is old just wanted to say thanks for writing it. It made my decision to go with the px easier. My other option was the b&o h9i
@@Michael-rz9mu Thanks mate! 😎👍 I recently bought the latest model B&W Px7, and they are better in the bass sound, a little more intense. Although it aesthetically maintained the premium style, but lost the luxury style when replacing aluminum with carbon, a luxury style that existed in the previous PX. The android app still sucks 👎 However I am curious about the announced Sony MX4
Nuno Santos do you think the PX is still worth it? I’m planning to buy either PX or M3 but after seeing your review I’m going to buy B&W instead. Now I don’t know whether I should stick with original PX or PX7. I listen mostly to John Williams and some other current music 😂
Well, you get used to high heels if you wear them on a regular basis, similarly these headphones just need a break in period and then they are comfy. The headband is solid metal, you can physically stretch them out to reduce the clamping force unlike the cheaper plastic ones that would snap and once the leather earpads take in the oils from your skin and soften up, they get more comfy. The drivers too need some burn in time to sound good. I really feel that the the newer PX7 is a step down in terms of build quality!
Being a loyal B&W customer over the years (HiFi speakers, Zeppelin), I am deeply disappointed with my PX because although not used that frequently, the battery died just after the guarantee period and there’s no replacement of it unless I would send it to a B&W dealer. The price for the battery replacement is twice the worth of my headphones (there are numerous of other PX owners having the same issue). Dear B&W, is this sustainability? Next ANC headphones will be Dali io-6…
I do have hair, and i am a man, but what you've said about the pressure you were definitely right. You can listen confortably almost about 1 hour, and after that it starts to hurt.... actually you might feel something between discomfort and pain. I could also go longer, and I do it actually often, but when compared to my wife's JBL NBT650 (or something like that), it is a huge difference. That headphones are actually more of plastic, but the ear confort is just amazing!!! You could definitely wear those all day long without feeling any discomfort. The sound is in both premium, but in JBL they boosted up the bass, so, it's just a matter of what you like more. For B&W I boosted up the specs with the equalizer because I found the sound a piece of crap in default mode and without bass. Best regards!
I've tried Sony M3 and Bose 700 before these, and both are more comfortable. But for the sound quality, these destroy them easily. I can deal with the slight discomfort, but can't deal with low-quality sound, so I'm keeping these and have returned the other two.
(In 2020) - 2018 review. Nice bait , m8. Buy the PX v2.0 , comes with hard case and different earpads (thicker). Give them a good 30-50h break in period and they'll may appeal to you. Also , don't embarrass yourself with that title , please.
I have both B&O as well as these...these have better anc but B&O more comfort...Sony’s xm3’s seem to everyman for me...I also have the older wired Bose with better anc than both so I am straight
Do you also cry when your soup is to hot? Lol jk great review informative and funny. I am mixed my fav headphones of all time are P5 but I want a wireless version. I did not like the PX7 ..clamp force and to heavy plus the carbon fiber felt cheap to me compared to the metal off P5
Entertaining but factually wrong In few areas. Pretty much all headphones in this bracket have USB C and while the Bose QC series are plastic, the 700's are not. Lastly, they are some of the worst performers for noise cancelling in this price range. It's almost as if you bought these, love them and didn't do any homework on the market. I love mine. Don't get me wrong. They sound amazing. But I also love my Bose 700's, my Sony WH100MX3'S, my Master and Dynamic MW65'S, and my B&O H9i's (listed for proof I know what I'm talking about from experience)
when I uploaded the video 2 years ago almost none of the other models had type c. bose 700 was not even on the market. I guess you mean sony wh 1000X M3, not WH100MX3. but if you watch my other videos I will never buy sony headphones again.

Best review I have ever seen. I was hesitating between the XM3 and PX. I'm buying the PX now.

Wearing high heels would make you forget how tight these headphones actually are.
Honest and cheeky review. Thanks. Love from Bangladesh :)

Really mate? Because they had the PX and M3 the same price in my local store. I listen to vast array of music from John Williams to some hip hop.
@@jessicaagriani9728 you can’t listen to hip hop with these headphones bowers & wilkins 🤷♂️ don’t sound good the bass terrible
Les basse sont très bonnes
Ah... With the pressure, pull the headband a little bit more back.:) Don't let the headband sit at the top of your head.
Same. Maybe it's just my stupid head lol
dude, you are funny and your accent is really cool !
Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to change it to 2021
Bought and returned PX5 two times.
Both time right earphone died.
Best review ever! A bit comedy and very nice accent to listen too! Great job
Thank you!
link to the beanie, lol
Don’t put "in 2021" in your title if your video is from 2018, god fucking damn it.
I should put 2022. thanks for noticing
😍
I have both B&O as well as these...these have better anc but B&O more comfort...Sony’s xm3’s seem to everyman for me...I also have the older wired Bose with better anc than both so I am straight
Do you also cry when your soup is to hot? Lol jk great review informative and funny. I am mixed my fav headphones of all time are P5 but I want a wireless version. I did not like the PX7 ..clamp force and to heavy plus the carbon fiber felt cheap to me compared to the metal off P5
only when it's cold lol
Is the clamping too much for eyeglass wearers?
Probably they will crush them
GaBIT damn. any suggestions for eyeglass wearers?
Sad to say but it doesn't go well with glasses.
Momentum m2 wireless are a good choice as well. I wear them with sunglasses and I don't feel any pressure
you're funny dude
Прикольный пацан - суперпацан !!!

They look nice...and thats it. Cheap flat sound...bluetooth problems. In this price range there are much better to buy.
you should try the Skullcandy Wireless Crusher
1287 alexander those aren’t real bass just boom boom fart noises
1287 alexander i hv it and its shit the bass is not at all real.......its like two outdoor speakers are kept tied to ur ears
Creeks lol
