Sony WH1000XM2 Premium Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones - Black (WH1000XM2/B) - amzn.to/2A3StYH
With the amount of headphones on his wall - I'm reckoning this guy knows what he's talking about!!
These headphones are on top I have these. Great noise cancelling and the touch functionality is extremely useful as you don't have to touch your devices for you to change the tracks volume etc. The clamping pressure is fine for my head.
I have them on my head right now. To be fair , Noise cancelling should be called ´Noise reduction´ , And its really efficient for the bass sound . Higher frequencies are still audible. Bear in my you cant use it as a noise reduction device because it powers off after 5 minutes if not wired to something.
That beeing said, i am an advanced guitar and synthesizer player and the sound is awesome. I am using this with my Korg Kronos 2 while working on the sequencer. I would not work a long time with it however because since this headset shields you from the external noise it means all the sound energy hits your hear dream so i feel tired after a few hours while an ordinary headset does not give me this feeling. Well its true also that pumping the volume up is only required when composing music, passive listening should be ok for a longer period
I just bought these 2 days ago. I live in NYC and I take the train every day. I was very impressed with the noise cancelling on the train and the ambient sound modes when walking around. 2 very minor complaints though. I do wish there was a way to adjust the volume more than 1 level at a time. I wish you could swipe up or down & hold it, and the volume would continue to adjust in that direction. 2nd minor complaint, I do wish that when the headphones automatically switches between ambient modes, it didn't hear that chime. Other than that, they are IMO the perfect pair of bluetooth headphones.
Afaik, you can actually swipe up and hold to increase the volume. I actually tried it.
are they comfy or they get warm on your ear when using them for a while?
Rappasta They warm up your ears real good. Not good if its warm outside and you take a walk or run. Comfyness is ok. The ears press against the cups but u will get used to them.
because I'm stressed deciding if I should get these or the bose! I'm a video editor so I'd wear them for a few hours every day. I'm just worried that the sony will be uncomfortable, even though the technology should be far superior that the Bose
Rappasta Get the bose ones. Im wearing the sony's but they are pressing against my ear. But you should only buy these if you travel and need good noise canceling.
I love these headphones, but I do have a question. Will I get better sound quality if I turn off the noise cancelling when it's not needed? I definitely hear a slight staticky sound when I use noise cancelling with ambient sound on.
Mine sounds the same with and without noise canceling , they’re equally good .
My original WH-1000XM2 set also has some static sound when NC is turned on or when Ambient mode is so . I went for a repair and Sony gave me a new set . Now my set doesn’t have that problem anymore ... So if you’re hearing some noticeable staticky sound when NC is on you might have a faulty one ... Otherwise , nah , there isn’t any noticeable audio quality difference between NC being on or off .
Sound quality is based off user experience, something may sound better to me than it is to you. Use whatever settings sound better to you.
Thank you, brother! I always enjoy your reviews. Bought my 1000XM2's today!
Should I buy these in 2018 or wait to see if Sony comes out with something new this year?
ZR1Terror I just got some I was thinking the same thing because I would be pissed off if they did
You can get it for just $299, go for it :)
WH-1000XM2 - Simply the BEST! Quick question please, are you a Nigerian?
+Donatus Edi yep
Nice! I was on your site then saw a tab named "Col Ogukwu videos". It awoke my curiosity; hence, the urge to verify. You're doing fantastic bro. Great reviews!
PENNYWISE THE KILLER CLOWN Not atall homie. It’s just fine! I’m in my 3rd month of usage.
Donatus Edi 😂🤣
did a full comparison and actually tested out the headphones. I love these over the bose qc35ii. They really are comfortable and sound better. Bose might be comfortable for some head types but overall, sony's are just better
I dig these,i have the sennheiser pxc 550's and the Parrot Zik's love them both.
Excellent review! Thanks for helping me purchase a top gift!
Nice video 😊👍. Cheers from Denmark
These headphones are awesome! I just bought them, I want to give the bose a try in the real world.
I don’t see anything about APTx low latency codec. What’s the audio latency when using these headphones?
bobolito ldac
Would this pair with a PS4? I tried a couple of Bluetooth ones I had and they don't pair. Would rather buy this than a dedicated one for gaming
Will I be compromising the sound quality if used with Apple Music through iPhone 7? Would I be better off with a beats product?
Just literally bought these headphones from BestBuy about 1 hour ago. Have them on my head right now while watching this.
I love mine, except for one thing. You can't move much with noise cancelling on. When I walk and my head bounces from the steps, the movement makes the ear pads move, which makes the noise cancelling weird out a little. Very annoying. It also doesn't like strong "Esss" sounds with noise cancelling on.
Is it true that the volume does not get very loud with these headphones?
Mike C I just got them its true!! Just matters what you doing it's wired to me sometimes I cant get them to go loud but then it just shoots up and I have to turn them down I think it's got something to do with walking and driving
Great review... but also great clothing choice with the HP shirt!
+Via Brown glad you enjoy the review and thanks 😁
Thanks for your video! Just 2 things I'm really worried about before buying them: the reported headband cracks issue of the previous model and the led indicators: I've noticed them flashing continuously. Isn't it disturbing in darkness? For example for a person in a sit next to you in a plane during a night flight or for your spouse sleaping next to you while you have insomnia... If possible, could you make just a small video of those leds in darkness? Thanks!
Simply the best review of this product!
Should I buy these if I have an iPhone?
Really nice video - just got myself a pair.
Great review. Thank you.
Any headband cracking issues?
jairuz637 nope
Not for me
not on mine
Just returned my QC35ii for sony 1000xm2 and I can say on authority that sony is the best.
are they comfy or they get warm after using them for a while?
It´s like 3 Top ANC headphones out there now, Bose q35ii, 1000xM2 and the B&W Px.
Got all, Bose for comfort and good ANC...
Sony in the middle, better sound than Bose and on par with ANC. (Some should call ANC better)
PX little less ANC but still Ok/good, but the sound you get from the PX is in a league of it´s own.
So guess it depends if you favors ANC or Sound in first hand..:)
On a Note for folks that get PX, they need long time burn in..all B&W do..but Px is almost like the p9 take some extra time. If you put them on from Box..they sound flat, but give them some time and they really shine.
They might have more features but Bose QC35 is the king in comfort. I still prefer Bose because it's lighter and can connect to 2 phones
I hear the Sony h.ear on 2 sounds even better and is more comfortable.
Definitely try the Bose qc35 2
h1a8 this product is better than both. I have done over 20 hours of research and these are the best
iTzSpicey
So you listened to both qc35 2 and the h.ear. on 2 for hours?
With qc35 you can connect to multiple devices. This isn't too important as only a few people use multiple phones or devices (like tablets and phones). Qc35 is much more comfortable too.
When audio source is aac then streaming to Aac is equal to aptx hd and ldac. Why? Because aac does not degrade on Re-encoding. Even after 100 passes, it stays nearly exactly the same. I can upload the proof if you want. It's only when original source is mp3 that ldac is superior.
Yes and I was so biased to nose in the beginning to the point where I couldn’t listen to people say Sony was better but I like the features more and Audio quality and the app. The bose are a little bit more comfortable tho with more depth. This is my opinion
My friend has the MDR-1000X and he found that the headband cracks very easily. Do these have that same issue?
This is hard to say. I think it has to do with faulty items, so factory errors. +JimsReviewRoom always does these crazy stress-tests and the 1000X withstood it with no problem. But I also once saw a video of a guy trying his just bought pair in a Sony store and they cracked right there and then. So if you buy a pair, stresstest them immediately or notify the store that you're buying it knowing about this problem and ask them if they would help you out if that problem occurs.
These don't have the same issue I have these and no problems at all. Don't judge this pair of headphones based on the faults of its predecessors.
Sony did find that it was a certain batch on original 1000 that had crack issues and are replacing any faulty ones.
Simon Says : any proof of your statement please, as I couldn't find anything about it on the Sony website.
How good is the noise cancellation? For example, if someone were to have a conversation next to me and I weren't playing music, what would I hear? Considering this as an alternative to earplugs, but need some comparison of the relative efficacy.
Very nice review!
What's the quality of the headphones cushion? Do they wear and tear after a year? easily replaceable?
is it better than 'vmoda m100' or 'vmoda crossfade wireless II' in terms of bass or any other qualities!!??
good review, is it ok to use this while running? worried that sweat could damage it
+Nico Capistrano these sre really not for working out
Watching this with my WH1000XM2
Saber Kchikech How is it's build quality? Is the headband okay? There are reports of the last model breaking
Same here! Amazing
Me too
I want a pair of wired, closed back headphones under $250, what would you recommend?
is the beige colour option really that ugly that most ppl decide to go with the default black colour?
i wish Sony would produce more colour variety for their high end ANC headphones like they would with the mid-range ANC headphones like MDR100ABN/ WH-H900N
Which are the best budget ones?
Would you suggest these or the h900n from sony aka known as the H.ear on 2's????? Let me know....i respect your opinion brother!
Do they have any good mic? Could they be used for gaming?
So how is it compared to the Sennheiser pxc 550's that are selling for $299 right now???
Please review the Bowers and Wilkins PX. Thanks!
Do they support AAC codec?
PlantMC yes
Thanks man.
What is the headphone stand in the video?
Does Sony WH-1000xM2 pair nice with apple watch series 3 with no issues?The app will work?
can this be charge using phone charger? like samsung? i just did it and im worried that i might broke it.
REPLY
Yo E, it looked like you were standing next to Andy from The Office on the subway haha
+N Shen hahhahah. Lol kinda does
If the internal battery is empty, I still can use it with the cable, right?
Thanks in advance ;)
yes but noise canceling doesnt work!
what is the comfort like???????
Will these pair with my tv?
Do these get loud?
Is the ear cups of these headphones enough big to cover the big sized ears.??
+bhimcharan magare yes they are
Do these do phone calls?
Did anyone tried using this in the Gym workout? Can I know if the Ear pads are removable in case that it was soak on sweat? TIA
MKBHD's Dad.
Do these headphones support voice chat with xbox one X, if yes, how?
Please, please, please help :) I bought these headphones in China and the voice prompts are....uhem...in Chinese. Please tell me how to change the voice prompt to English. Thanks so much...
Where is the app or name ?
Should i rather go with the bose qc 35 than the sonys becouse i have big ears and i dont want them to hurt or anything
+Aero Sony arr comfortable
QC35 are more comfortable but the Sony have the most features. I went with Sony and use them all the time.
NFC is a game changer.
Where is your accent from? I feel like I can hear bits of Scottish or something in there.
I've been looking at either these or the Bose QC 35
Trevone Thompson these. I have done 20+ hours of research. Buy these
just look into the cracking headband thing before you jump the gun on the Sonys
Looking at Reddit the cracking issue is only on the MDR-1000x however if it does happen there is a free of charge repair service offered
Charlie Stubbs fucking nice :)
What about a michrophone? I assume it has one?
aTasteforTheatrical yes
Hello, I just wanted to ask if they get loud? Do they turn up to 11? That's a spinal tap joke ha.
Booredatwork.com if an astroid was heading towards Earth, would the Sony WH-1000x M2's be the first one you choose, or would you go Bose?
Sony all the way
the sony has alot of features and codex for sound which makes it attractive to the novice..The truth is they and other headphones alike can have such features to enhance sound but what speaker drivers are attached? say like Bang and Olufsen beoplay h4 cost 299 sony 350 , guest who has the better speaker built in and wiring, the beoplay does..
You're wrong in several ways. The MDR-1000X got great reviews all over, from more consumer grade media to the more audio oriented media. So the implemented drivers can stand their ground quality wise. They only difference they made from the past is that they went from a neutral signature to a more dynamic signature. But this is also what B&O does. B&O has always been more about design and experience. Their ANC isn't as good as Sony's is though.
Brands that have a more neutral signature are Sennheiser, Bose, Shure and AKG. Bose is a strange duck here, since they are also about design and experience. Also, they tend to save on stuff like driver and dome implementation. But with the QC-series headphones they've been doing really well since the 25-series.
Douglas Jones bang and olufsen are like apple/beats nowadays bro. Their functionality is definately not on par with Sony.
JJay13Productionz You are totally wrong about B&O , Sony and mainly bose are not in the same class, just because Sony comes with a bunch of features, and bose sound is so lame it sounds good to the crowd that doesn't know about pure music, that's why you will never see bose in a high-end audio show and to add cars that 80.000 to 280.000 only have high-end audio like I krell,bangs & Knudsen and Bowers and wilkins and other names that's not on consumer level...B&o beoplay line H series are competing with Sony 1000xm2 and Sony 35 and so on, but Sony and bose have high raves mainly because of the noise cancel , I had Sony when 1000x m2 and took it back only because my ears got to warm after a hour of use, but my H4 beoplay sound is soooo much cleaner with detail....Sony bose Jbl beats and more are mid level class, Now go ask any audiophile person and they would agree with me about bangs&olufsen headphones and class
L.GH. Djoetma My friend , let me say this about bose since I'm standing on that bose is not in the same breath as b&o , Bose is the standard and in class of there own in noise cancel ,that's it even thought the Sony an 1000x m2, gives it a good fight. But for straight up speaks and components ,no contest. I use to go to the big hifi events and home theater events in NYC held at the Marriott.and so many systems with names never heard of with crazy price tags, well Bangs& olufsen has always been there and no Sony nor bose were never at such events. Bose is a consumer level class that is over price ..The H series for b&o are competing with bose and Sony but only with noise cancellation where bangs won't win...If you look up the crazy luxury price cars and see what audio system the have you will find bangs&olufsen, Bowers and wilkins , krell ,,but never Sony or bose and there's a reason why.....
Just bought a pair and loving it. However I can't figure out how to switch between devices? @g009ps
You have yo unpair from one device to the next, it doesn't connect to multiple devices, unfortunately only one at a time
is this a better buy than the newest bose qc35?
+Peachy x0x0 for me. Yes
I like the way the Bose QC35 fit me better. If you can try them both on for a bit that would be the best bet.
I bought the Bose QC35 2. Sound and comfortability was great. Noise canceling isn’t as great as Sony. I returned it for the Sony mx1000 m2
And how is the comfort on the Sony ? I am have to decide between sony and bose, the only thing holding me back from ordering the sony's right now is the comfort i don't know how they feel
Jakob Kosir I return my Sony haha. The nose is way more comfortable. I had to sacrifice the Sony cool technology for Bose comfortability. It was a hassle but worth it at the end.
Great video. ;-)
Amazing 😍..
Watch this video on my Sony wh-1000xm2😎🤙
You have a great deeeep voice :)
U r great .
Review of samsung gear i conx 2018 plzzz
Biased towards Sony?? 🙃

Good line
They are very uncomfortable. Look elsewhere.
John L I can second that, I returned my Bose in hopes of the improved sound quality and features, I wore these for a week trying to like them and break them in but everyday I just kept wanting Bose more because how uncomfortable the Sony's were. Bose also sounds very good better than the ldac.
I listened to this using my Beats studio. 👌
overpriced junk
