WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.680 step into my office lonis take a look at my Wares yeah I'm pretty sure I'm the 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.920 one who paid for them okay so here's what happened we were going to review 00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:14.320 the Microsoft Surface headphones because we were intrigued Microsoft wait a 00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:19.279 second you didn't even pay for these they sent them to us okay these ones yes 00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:23.840 I paid for other ones and these well I paid for these which hurt as much as 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.359 paying for all the other ones combined yes okay so basically what happened was 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:31.880 we were going to review these and Microsoft sent us a review sample two 00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:39.480 three weeks after everyone else's reviews were already up and we were like okay we need a new angle so we're going 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:42.600 to turn it into a four-way Roundup of 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.360 the premium noise cancelling over 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:53.000 headphones on the market this time not failing to include Sony's offering the 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.960 wh1000x M3s so James has prepared sort 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:59.399 of a a blind taste test of sorts I guess 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.480 you only need your ears though if you were blind would it matter no it 00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:08.120 wouldn't and you know what else wouldn't matter if you guys listened to this 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:18.139 message from our 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.320 sponsor I want to unbox these ones no you have okay so each of us will start 00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:30.720 with one of the sort of wellestablished players okay well I mean I guess 00:01:29.240 --> 00:01:36.600 arguably this is is well established but maybe not with our audience so much so 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:39.280 I've got the Sony wh 1000x M3s and I 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:43.840 have the Bose Qui Comfort 35s version 2's Google Assistant these are similar 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:47.759 but yours is kind of nicer I like this this has got like kind of a crush 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.040 resistant that presses quite a bit yeah this divider actually serves a couple of 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:57.000 purposes you have one of these though uh yeah actually oh and you can see you can 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.320 actually see what's in yours Sony's done a good job of their case here so it 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:04.000 holds your you got your air airplane adapter yeah mine are just sitting in 00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:07.520 there you've got your 3 and 1/2 mm Jack in case you're a caveman and your phone 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:13.040 still has one of those on it you've got I don't like how short this cable is but 00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:17.120 check this out USB type-c charging on 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.879 the Sony love that everything USB type-c 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.879 all the things 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.920 please it's all it's equally short uh 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.720 but it's also micro okay let's do uh let's open up the 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:38.080 beats and the and the surface I'm expecting this to be like the greatest 00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:39.159 unboxing experience of all time because 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.519 from what I've heard about the headphones themselves it better be the 00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:49.760 greatest unboxing experience of all time I've got it upside down I got 00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.360 this I'm expecting steam to come out no 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:56.239 change the way you hear sound to make 00:02:53.360 --> 00:03:00.800 these headphones sound better okay I'm being a jerk I'm being a 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.680 jerk I actually haven't tried headon in a long In fairness it's pretty robust 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.599 feeling it doesn't have like an actual reinforcement no it's not low profile 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.440 you can actually see like compared to the Sony it is quite a lot thicker and 00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:22.360 same goes actually for everyone everyone else well these guys went with the wider 00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:25.760 flatter ooh do these even fold though 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:28.799 they don't fold what they don't fold 00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:30.840 what uh okay so I just get this cable 00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:38.120 okay so 3 and 12 m and I just what throw it in there 3 and mil oh but I do get a 00:03:34.959 --> 00:03:40.080 nice long charging cable micro 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:45.760 b USBC nice and then I get a carabiner 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:51.680 industrial design wise I would say these are like the dad hat of headphones what 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:56.760 dad hat he doesn't understand that Dad hats are in I mean I just mean they're 00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.480 not that flashy or modern they're kind of the standard they still look great 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.920 matte black is always a good idea and honestly you're no more 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.140 dad hat than these yeah I am those are smoother one thing that stands out about 00:04:07.959 --> 00:04:11.840 these to me is you hear that that's 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:18.519 brutal nice swiveling ear cups though and same here one thing they've done 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:24.560 well is look how deep the cushioning on the top bar is squeeze 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.199 mine yeah actually not not impressed 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.360 with that said but everyone knows bows are comfortable over long periods yes 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:34.080 they are and part of it is that they they grip R the side of your head a little bit more I feel like these are 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.560 relying a little more on the top headbands than the qc35s do I think it 00:04:37.039 --> 00:04:43.840 is just the way these seal around your ear and kind of grab onto your head but it's not uncomfortable they've basically 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:47.479 got it perfect all right this is what I'm really curious about though cuz I've 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.639 tried those I've encountered these before these are heavier did you see 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.800 that though there is almost no padding on the headband that click that's 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:02.160 satisfying they nailed that these don't fold at all oh a nice headband though 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:04.880 basic ratchet no swivel yeah I feel do 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.919 the air ear cups do a bit right not much not really yeah barely when you take 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:12.280 them off you want them to go on your shoulders level and stuff like that oh 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:15.600 you seem like the kind of person who actually used to wear overthe ear 00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:19.919 headphones in public these don't go as big as the 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:23.680 other ones either see they didn't get the they didn't get the cage Force right 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:27.639 I feel like those aren't really even over ear they're like somewhere between 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:31.680 on ear and over ear my ears touched the drivers and it's like just a hard 00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.960 plastic that's a real bummer and that over time that can be uncomfortable 00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:38.360 really nice foam on the ear cups though although I don't know if it's quite as 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:43.560 nice as the Sony's Sony's have just like this 00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:46.759 spectacular memory foam on here I'd be more comfortable at the office with 00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:50.240 those than on the bus if you're trying to get laid this is the these are what 00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:55.280 you need headband a little bit on the skinny 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.360 and not padded enough side for me but I think they've done a better job of the 00:05:56.479 --> 00:06:03.080 clamping pressure oh we haven't tried any headbang tests 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.080 give me like 00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:09.440 a all those are done already 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:19.479 whoa not bad they hold pretty well give me these hold 00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:19.479 on okay that's Bose clear 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:27.000 Victory okay Sony won I would say Bose 00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:28.440 next say Bose two uh tie for third then 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:33.199 cuz I don't think either of them really stands out to me so the second ranking 00:06:30.440 --> 00:06:39.720 is feel and comfort and we're going Sony Bose in 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:43.199 first then surface then beats and then 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:47.319 for the headbang test clear ass 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:49.639 Victory um everyone else fail tied for 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:53.000 second I'm calling all the others a fail so we can go with that if you want 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:58.680 whatever so right now what we're testing is interacting okay so play pause skip 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:02.000 go back turn the volume up and down okay so I actually have butt but on the Bose 00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:05.240 up and down for volume and then you double click this to go forward triple 00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:09.400 click to go back single click for play and pause what's new is this button 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:14.400 which would it's called the action button you can toggle between noise 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:18.280 cancelling on noise cancelling off or you can use it to activate the Google 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:21.680 assistant so one tap will the Google Assistant will tell you your notifications and stuff and if you hold 00:07:20.479 --> 00:07:25.639 it down you're going to summon the assistant and then you can talk cool as 00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:30.520 for oh wait wait wait wait there's one more thing only the bows have this and I 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:36.639 actually think it's huge an actual toggle for on so my navigation is all 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:39.960 handled via touch then okay so that's volume up is it beeping when you do that 00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:45.039 I can't hear you volume down volume down volume down volume down does it go beep 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:49.240 yes it does how do you feel I actually don't mind it now there is a physical 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:55.599 button back here that I just found so that would be for my assistant try a 00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:55.599 double there it 00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:01.520 is okay so with that button you found a the 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:05.039 back it's the same deal as with the bows where if you don't hook up the Google 00:08:03.479 --> 00:08:09.479 Assistant that's your button for turning on noise cancelling and then ambient and 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:12.720 then off it toggles through them but if you do hook up the Google Assistant you 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.400 lose that and you use it to hail the assistant so then you have to use your 00:08:14.599 --> 00:08:20.319 app on your phone to turn on the ambient and all that stuff I don't prefer it and 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:26.120 I'd rather have a physical button personally I tend to agree these I want 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:31.159 to try the be so this is not capacitive these have buttons so you only get the 00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:37.919 one button so press once to start and stop twice I'm assuming next 00:08:34.959 --> 00:08:41.279 track it's feels really cheap that was what I noticed too it's nice having a 00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:44.839 physical button but that like the sound of it as you're pressing you hear it and 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:49.040 the feel of it is awful the feel of it is really cheap another one thing you 00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:52.640 can do though allegedly is if you double click and hold you'll fast forward if 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:57.360 you triple click and hold you'll go back but I couldn't get it to work on my Android phone maybe it works with the 00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.240 iPhone or something I think so can you even do volume up and down on this 00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:05.880 here's the be logo there's an outer ring oh there we go but then but then you 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.399 can't use the side right yeah no the sides don't do anything that's so weird 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:14.000 that's the thing that's always bothered me about Beats why have such a cheap 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:20.560 button the thing is that apple is literally in my mind anyway the king of 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.000 haptic feedback these are how much 350 00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:27.360 they're all 350 okay can I tried the surfaces no man 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:32.440 I'm trying the surfaces these I think in my opinion are the Undisputed interface 00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:37.560 Kings check this out the volume is a knob nice it's really smooth to turn and 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:40.440 then on this side you turn it one way for turning up the noise cancellation 00:09:39.079 --> 00:09:45.720 and you turn it the other way and it turns up the ambient noise oh so totally 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:50.040 I don't have to go into the app like all the other ones you have to go into the app and set that they also have 00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:54.240 capacitive ear cups for the pausing and seeking but it's both ear cups so you 00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:00.279 can just use either and there's also a mute button on here I do like this 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:02.959 that's nice e it feels good 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:08.519 so interface C clear winner for me for the interface yeah oh we should mention 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:12.920 these also have uh Google assistant and Cortana and Alexa inter integration yeah 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:17.519 Cortana there's a separate app you can get cortana's dead now though you heard 00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:22.360 about that right what yeah Microsoft admits Cortana and also ran yeah it's 00:10:19.880 --> 00:10:25.640 rough it's rough I'm willing to say I personally I'd give the edge to Bose 00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:29.440 just because I don't like touch interfaces as much but I'm willing to 00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:32.399 say tie here because it comes down a personal preference with the cable that 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.160 comes with it oops oh an inline remote there's 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:40.639 inline controls I mean do you disagree would you put this above any of the 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:47.640 other three hell no no all right no no no all right this is the airplane sound 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.200 okay not bad First Impressions wow big 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:56.680 difference and that my friends is why Bose has so much respect when it comes 00:10:54.160 --> 00:11:02.399 to noise cancellation with that said I'd say the Sony cancellation is damn near 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:05.760 as good but I don't feel the same pressure on my ears with bow they've 00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:08.480 done such a great job of tuning that my face is like this cuz I just heard the 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:13.920 music you were playing I Love My Little Pony's music 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:17.839 definitely weaker I don't think these are even 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:21.800 working yeah those are that's on yeah that's that's on this is just a much 00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:26.279 less aggressive algorithm that they're using so they're leaving in some of the 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:30.040 higher pitch of the airplane and they're only taking out the low Rumble but 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.959 that's also why you're not getting that same pressure on the ears that you get 00:11:31.560 --> 00:11:37.399 from the Sony I'd say they're the worst in that regard out of the bunch I don't 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.560 know I think I kind of like the Sony I think even pressure-wise I might prefer 00:11:41.560 --> 00:11:46.600 this just to totally confuse everybody 00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:52.600 okay wait we can do there's one more test sure variable high frequency noises 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.600 like your worst 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.760 nightmare I can really hear them fighting it so in terms of loudness I'd 00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:06.320 say this is about like having the baby about two rows away Sony does less to 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:10.959 the tonality of the baby cry but probably blocks as much of the raw noise 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:14.880 I think the baby gets more annoying with the surface 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:19.720 headphones these are just terrible the noise cancellation on these is not very 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:22.600 good are they even on yes they're 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:28.320 on if you have to ask that's not a good sign really oh yeah it's on it just 00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:32.800 sucks that's another clear win for both Bose and Sony in my mind yeah agreed and 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:38.079 a clear loss for honestly these weren't great either clear loser clear also 00:12:36.199 --> 00:12:43.839 loser third it's not second yeah it's not close it's it's a distant second 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:47.800 close second well close to third so yeah let's do let's do a quick listen he we 00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:52.199 should listen to the same song though you give me one of your songs I'm I'm 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:57.320 I'm down I'm down it's pretty crunchy not bad I find the bass a little 00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:00.600 bit more natural sounding on these oh yeah they're they do have a different 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:05.079 signature but a little smoother I would say they're pretty similar me too 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.519 okay 00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:17.880 withhold I find both of these lacking distinctly in completely different ways 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:24.040 I find vocals don't really come through very clearly on 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:25.560 these no Basse no B ironically you would 00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:30.000 think that these had the would have the most overstated bass but it's not even 00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:33.920 like muddy and overpowered just there's just really nothing there um these ones 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:38.279 I felt I detected a little bit of distortion I couldn't put my finger on 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:43.360 it um they were clearly not as good as either the Sony's or the Bose but I 00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:47.560 preferred them to the beat I felt that these had a wider Sound Stage uh these 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:51.320 are a little narrower a little tennier but to be clear I think for a lot of 00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:56.639 people any one of these will be good enough I agree with that I mean given 00:13:53.920 --> 00:14:01.880 that most people are fine with like ear pods like truly the ones that just with 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:06.920 your head phone yes I I don't think anyone's going to pick up one of these 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:08.480 for a few hundreds and say oh well the 00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:12.959 sound quality simply I mean you're buying them because they're Wireless you're buying them because they're noise 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:17.639 cancelling and you're buying them because of the interface or or the 00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:22.160 assistant or whatever other features it is that you care about which is why I 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:26.199 think honestly when it comes time for the conclusion 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:29.680 here it's so much more complicated than just like which one sounds the best and 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:35.920 is the most comfortable because there's a lot to these so why don't you do your 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:37.240 rankings first and then overall overall 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:40.959 well I mean sound I think we've got a pretty clear hierarchy don't we once 00:14:38.959 --> 00:14:45.399 again these two are clearly the best if you're a more Discerning listener I'd go 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.759 for either of these then these then 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:50.279 these okay you know what I'll let you go first for the overall overall the 00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:54.800 overall it's time for overall it's time for the overall overall My overall 00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:59.160 ranking the bow number two the Sony number three and I really like this 00:14:57.079 --> 00:15:03.160 interface but overall number three the these These are good I would still buy 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:05.680 these the noise cancelling sucks true okay go ahead I'm going to let you 00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:09.519 finish good enough for an office good enough for an office they also don't 00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:14.880 fold so on the go for a plane definitely get these don't buy these ever okay so 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:20.920 I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to say I'm not even going to rank these two 00:15:17.800 --> 00:15:23.920 so then between these two I mean really 00:15:20.920 --> 00:15:27.800 it comes down to physical buttons versus 00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:29.480 touch interface but then USB type-c oh 00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:35.319 yeah and the fast charging Sony there it is you did it Sony you did 00:15:32.880 --> 00:15:39.519 it don't even bother Sony or if you don't like the Sony get the bows but I 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:42.759 just I wouldn't even if you can if they're beside each other at Best Buy 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:47.160 try them both yeah try them both do your research pulseway is a realtime remote 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:53.319 monitoring
