I finally decided to get into the noise canceling headphone game with the Sony 1000X M3, and now that I have, I couldn't be happier. These cans are simply amazing, and I can honestly report that in just one week they've increased my productivity and focus at work significantly. The touch controls are NOT gimmicky. They are natural and useful, because who the hell wants to talk to siri or pick up a phone to change tracks or volume? This is awesome.
I chose the Sony over the obvious choices for a few reasons. One is that I despise the Bose sound signature, but I respect their dominance in the market of noise canceling and comfort. Hate to say it Bose, but Sony is the new king!
These headphones are so comfortable, I might even say they could be the most comfortable over ear headphones on the market ... period. They are more comfortable than the famous Bose QuietComfort line.
They also sound amazing. They remind me of the sound from my classic Sony over ear headphones that you see in recording studios. No, they aren't recording quality ffs, they're bluetooth, and they're tuned for outdoor use (more bass). But they sound a fuck ton better than Bose, that's for sure.
And then there's noise canceling. They win, hands down. Bose is beat. Done. And the app that comes with them is sick. You can actually adjust the type of noise canceling, and customize the pressure and sound to your freakin' ear!
I put these on and disappear for hours, only stopping to work to eat. I couldn't do that easily before.
Yes, I officially recommend the Sony 1000X M3.
- Agreed with your opinion of Bose's sound. It's kind of fucking awful.Continuity
- I was on the fence about going with Sony, thanks for the review.zarkonite
- Not worried about Bluetooth beaming down your ears, through soft tissue to your brain? That's one of the things putting me off bluetooth.microkorg
- If that worries you, then you should be aware that there’s a huge ball of fire raining deadly radiation down on us guaranteed to kill if you get too much of it.monospaced
- And have you heard of WiFi? It’s fucking EVERYWHERE! It’s in your head all the time. Phone in your pocket? You’ll NEVER have kids. You’re sterile already.monospaced
- You’ve probably got hundreds of WiFi, am fm, Bluetooth and over air cable signals passing through you every second of every day.monospaced
- Yeah I think these will be my next ones after the Bose that I've had for almost 5 years finally give out.ben_
