00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:09.760
I want spent some time with these the wf1000 xm3s which are a premium truly

00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:12.120
Wireless active noise cancelling in your

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:20.320
monitor from Sony but today's video is not about these it's about these the WF

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:22.320
XB 700s XB stands for extra base and

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.960
they're $100 cheaper what do you think about

00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:31.960
that let's see if the expensive ones suck $100 less than these come on

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:43.160
baby I feel like already the packaging is more auser than this one and here it

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:49.000
is who very lightweight plastic AF not completely

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.120
opaque and here they are these are bigger these are definitely bigger than

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:59.079
the xm3s but they're not huge holy these are

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:02.559
isolating my voice sounds weird even they're like earplug almost these do not

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.960
have active noise cancelling the isolation that you get when you put them in is all you're getting but that might

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:12.640
be enough the other thing is that these don't have any capacitive touch they

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:16.439
don't swipe they don't have gestures they're not capacitive each has a button

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.159
on the right button you can play and pause that's a single tap you can double

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:25.600
tap for next you can triple tap for previous you can hold for the virtual

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:30.159
assistant in my case that's going to be Google Assistant cuz I'm a Android boy

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:35.520
baby and then on the left side that's your volume you click it to increment in

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:40.439
steps going up louder and louder and you hold it for continuous volume going down

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:44.280
so one stepped while one's continued which is a bit weird but it's easy to

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:48.439
get used to you just hold it until it's as quiet as you want and then you let it

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:53.880
go so let's see how it actually works with music when I pair it to my phone

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:57.680
100% battery rock and roll uh one of the differences between these puppies and

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:02.680
the more expensive premium counterpart is battery life these ones a advertise

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.079
18 hours of battery life whereas the more expensive ones advertise 24 hours

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.720
now that's not just on one go from the earbuds that's including the charge case

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:16.360
interestingly these ones advertise a longer play time from the earbud itself

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:21.480
they say 9 hours from the earbuds themselves whereas the xm3s advertise 6

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.120
hours might as well just open these up you already see the packaging is quite a

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:32.160
bit more involved but here we go the charge case is quite a bit bigger

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:35.480
between these too um it's obviously Slicker looking it's got this nice click

00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:40.840
this one you're not really going to be able to fidget with but you can see the size difference this has a way bigger

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.680
battery I think because it provides three full charges to the headphones so

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:50.239
that's three 6-h hour charges plus whatever you can hold on the headphones or a total of 24 whereas this one I

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.800
think is only 100 milliamp hours so you just get one additional charge so 9

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.640
hours per charge total 18 okay let's play some music I've been obsessed with

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:01.560
this song by Annie Lennox called walking on broken glass I'm pretty pretty sure

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.680
it's an ' 80s songs ever since I listened to the strong songs podcast

00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:10.840
from uh Kirk Hamilton I both he did an episode on this song and I've just been

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.400
blasting it sorry wife holy cow with

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:17.720
these things they live up to the name the extra Bas this song sounds almost

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:21.799
like a dance remix when the bass kicked in it was just pulsing driving if you're

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.040
a bass head I think you're going to like these but more and more I'm thinking

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:31.200
these are probably great for the gym they're IP X4 rated and that means that

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:34.959
they have no rating for dust that's the X but they do have a rating for water in

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:40.200
this case it's a four I believe that's out of nine and the four means that they

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:44.319
can wasand splashes from any direction and that's basically just sweat so it

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:47.840
looks like they are geared towards jimm goers that that actually makes sense it

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.360
kind of looks like it get splashed and survive it almost has like a boat finish

00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:55.360
they look like they could plop out of my ear and land on a dumbbell and like

00:03:54.079 --> 00:03:59.200
they're going to be okay someone else could maybe step on them they might

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.799
survive and this case is just going to easily slip into a bag I think these are

00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:08.920
going to be great for the gym especially since they're so isolating you can drown

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.159
out the music that the gym is playing above your music pretty easily with

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:16.440
these let's see how loud they go yeah they go loud enough louder than I would

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:20.600
go for a healthy listening you're going to have no problem hearing your music

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:25.560
over top of ambient noises at the gym and stuff like that they don't have uh

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:31.880
fins let's look what else is in the Box there's only this instructions an

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:34.720
adapter for us USB C2 a and then more

00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:38.800
ear tips a lot of athletic centered inur will give you optional silicone fins

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:42.320
that you can put on and they kind of Nest into this part of your ear these

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:47.680
didn't come with that but I think it's okay like they feel pretty sturdy and

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.880
it's because they use the same um design

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:55.400
mentality as these ones which is the three-point contact kind of system in

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.400
your ear and they're really

00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.240
stable you could do box jumps you could

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.039
headbang you could fall off your skateboard and

00:05:02.520 --> 00:05:08.600
uh you know hit something cuz you weren't listening properly with these and they're probably going to stay in

00:05:06.919 --> 00:05:12.800
your shoes might fly off though similar to the higher priced premium version the

00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.039
case it does have these little indicators which I really like red and

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:21.720
white as is also indicated on the headphone so it's just a no-brainer when

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:26.039
you want to put them back in the case and they snap in really nicely too uhoh

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:29.720
my tip fell off just the tip though let's listen to some more tracks They

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:34.400
are Punchy on the base you're going to love these if you like EDM and stuff but

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:38.800
when I'm listening to non dance content they're still good headphones they're

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.759
really articulate I'm noticing things that I might not notice when I'm

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:45.919
listening to my car for example now as for the high frequencies which can be

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.880
harsh on crappier headphones if I listen to some rock and roll a lot of the times

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:52.919
those guitars can sound harsh on crappier headphones on on these they

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.520
still sound nice and clear not bad at all they don't hurt and these I would

00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:01.120
say are competent on the higher frequencies but are they the best I mean

00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:06.440
do you think that these have the same sound quality as these ones for $100

00:06:04.039 --> 00:06:11.000
more let's find out okay yeah you can see there's a lower profile the rounder

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:15.039
kind of sweet Sleek looking yeah these sound different they

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:19.039
do sound better they sound different it's not just an EQ thing the more

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:24.360
expensive ones have an app a companion app and there's various eqs presets and

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.280
you have the ability to make your own and then you can kind of you know adjust

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:33.280
the music as you like it these ones don't have a companion app they have no ability to change the EQ so I thought

00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:38.080
maybe they just had a baseer EQ applied to them and locked in that doesn't seem

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.479
to be the case they sound quite a bit

00:06:38.080 --> 00:06:42.520
different than the more expensive ones but they do sound good still these are

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.520
pretty comfortable they come with several different ear tips and you

00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:50.880
should change them out because if you don't get a good seal in your ear canal

00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:55.120
you're not going to feel that really good base you need that three different

00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:58.039
sizes on here in addition to what they came with so you'll probably be pretty

00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:03.639
covered and they're the standard ones that you can you can buy Replacements on Amazon and stuff like that uh one note

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:08.520
that I found about the Google Assistant functionality is that you cannot hail

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.599
the assistant using just your voice you have to hold and press the button down

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:19.039
for the assistant to get hailed um that doesn't mean that it blocks The Voice

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:21.080
like if I just say blank blal my phone

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:24.319
will still hear it and pick it up but I'm talking to this microphone other

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.720
differences include the Bluetooth actually these have Bluetooth 4.2 rather

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:34.479
than Bluetooth 5 um I mean I mean functionally it's probably going to be

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:40.120
okay but theoretically Bluetooth 5 has double the bandwidth and four times the

00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:42.039
range so depending on your use case you

00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:46.159
might have some kind of deficiency there but you're probably going to be okay the

00:07:43.840 --> 00:07:51.199
advertised Quick Charge speeds are different so if you charge the premium

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:55.879
ones for 10 minutes you get 90 minutes of playback if you charge these ones for

00:07:53.520 --> 00:08:00.039
10 minutes you only get 60 Minutes of playback I mean that's still a pretty

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:04.159
sweet stat I like that spec it's good it's just not as good as these though

00:08:01.479 --> 00:08:09.720
all in all though I think for $130 right now these are really good if

00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:14.080
they had been included in my Roundup of like 50 wireless headphones that I did a

00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:17.080
few months back um they would have been the best in the bunch I think of course

00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:21.039
they're more expensive what was the limit on that one 50 bucks 50 bucks well

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:24.599
these are a lot more they're almost triple that they're 130 bucks I think

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.879
they're awesome I think if if you're new to audio these might be the best

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.399
headphones you've ever had if you have the extra 100 bucks these are fantastic

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:37.039
and they have active noise cancelling they're sick on a plane like if you have expensive headphones if you have planer

00:08:35.719 --> 00:08:41.399
magnetics that you wear in your bed at night and then you want to go to the gym

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:45.760
and have something that like doesn't kill you like I have this pair of truly

00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:49.200
Wireless that are garbage and I don't even want to wear them when I go to the

00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:52.279
gym these aren't going to do that to you if you're used to good headphones and

00:08:50.839 --> 00:08:57.519
you just want something not that expensive to wear to the gym these are going to be great I think these are

00:08:54.920 --> 00:09:01.160
really good all-rounders and I recommend them thanks for watching ShortCircuit

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:05.079
today you guys should subscribe because I'm going to be reviewing some other

00:09:02.959 --> 00:09:12.079
really expensive headphones from Odyssey planer magnetics in a coming episode or

00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:12.079
maybe two episodes we do have two pairs
