Crisp sound and noise cancelling that is phenominal
Excellent sound. Bass is a mix between punchy and crispy, a type of headphones you can use for not just Dance music but Rnb and more Pop tracks. The bass is just right. Vocals aren't destorted by it as well, and are clear throughout. The best sound I've heard from headphones is these. They're a perfect all-rounder as even classical, metal, dubstep etc. that I sometimes listen to are all great. Noise cancelling is phenominal. I have had these headphones on to read a book in a living room with people chatting and a TV on and it doesn't fully block them out but certainly blocks it enough for your focus to be invested in whatever you're doing. People have said these are the best NC headphones and I can believe them. When wearing on just one ear, it does give you a bit of a headache at first because of how much difference in isolation in each ear is. That's impressive. Even without music, I can wear these. Battery life is not the best compared to some of my previous headphones but I can see I'm on max settings: NC on and 80% volume. Still lasts a fair amount. Not that I charge these up every day of anything, more like every week or one and a half. I've just had headphones that can do two weeks+. That said, quick charging is very quick and the usb-c makes it a whole lot better as my phone has the same charger. Build is great. Lightweight, comfy and durable. I have dropped these off my bed a few times and slept with them on and leant on the earcup when I'm asleep and from what I can see and feel they're not giving in in the slightest. Cushion for the top of your head is the best I've had for headphones and I rarely have to take it off my head because of the headband. Cups are nice, can get sweaty but never really uncomfortable. Design is stylish and cool, no complaints. Touch controls I have turned off because when I leant near anything, it would stop the song or replay it so I just turned it off. Can't say much on their performance otherwise. Overall, amazing headphones. Well worth the extra bit of money because these may have come out a few years ago but everything is premium and in my opinion, no corners are cut on this product.

Perfect and effective headphone for shutting any unwanted noise out - thank you Sony !
I am very happy with my purchase of Sony noise cancelling headphone (Sony WH-1000XN3). Due to the COVID-19 lockdown since last year, I have been quite happily placed under 'Hikikomori' mode in my room studying and working. The only issue has been that my room is situated on the side of the road and I have zero tolerance to noise of various kinds, which include traffic noise outside my house day and night by big lorries, noisy motorbikes and cars driving above the speed limit often blasting music out loud, people’s slamming the car doors after getting out of the car, people walking and talking (quite often loudly on mobile), screaming and shouting school kids on the road during school run, walkers with barking/yapping dogs , and many more etc. Even with the secondary glazing installed on the windows, my study/ work still gets constantly interrupted by the noise outside, which has driven me almost insane! Then I came across this noise cancelling headphone while trying desperately to find any solution to alleviate the noise issue. The headphone really works by shutting most of the unwanted noise out. It doesn’t mean it will be 100% noise free depending on where you are, but it actually takes the edge off the unpleasant noise when I wear it and it’s almost as if I were sitting in a soundproof room. The good thing is that when I wear it in my room, I no longer hear most of the noise I mentioned above and I can now concentrate on my study/ work. If you have an aversion to noise like me while trying to concentrate on your study or work in a room, this is the one for you to buy! The price mark at 200+ pounds may put off some people, but you won’t be disappointed with the product. There is also an ambient sound option too, but I would prefer not to use it as simply wearing it paired with my laptop or other device is sufficient enough for me. Battery power is long enough for me too. Having worn it over 1 week (using on average 4 – 5 hours a day), I still have 20% battery power left. In terms of the comfort level of wearing this headphone, I am quite happy wearing it over long hours (around 1 hour+ at a time). I have large ears and it has taken me a few days to get used to the headphone first, but my large ears fit into the headphone cups just about, so it doesn’t give me discomfort or pain, provided that I take a little break at regular interval. The only tiny issue could be that it may generate heat for wearing it for a long period of time. It’s not so bad in the winter time (at the time of writing this review), however I would be interested to find out the comfort level when I use it during the summer time (or the nasty heatwave). Some people may use the headphone outside, but I would very much prefer to use it indoors. I have also tried and tested listening to a variety of music (pop, rock, classical, Jazz and opera from my collection) from my laptop. The sound quality is good enough for me, after all I purchased the headphone purely for noise cancelling effect, so I am not that bothered about if it provides a mega bass sound effect etc. The headphone is a heaven sent and I have to make sure to take good care of it for the longevity.

The best available - If you get a good pair!
I had to write this review as I spent so much time deliberating and testing these against the Jabra offering. I had already ruled out the Bose QC' as they are older technology and other then NC they lacked features of the newer Sony's and Jabra. I had to return the first pair of these as the BT kept dropping out (tired on several devices) second set are spot on. I am a big music fan and like sound to be as good as it can babe within my budget. Lets face it, these are not cheap and I can't justify the spend by saying I am a frequent air traveller because I am not. My aim was to get the best ANC headphones combined with the best sound quality, these are to be used in the (noisy) office, train, out and about and at home when the kids are watching one of their movies. Noise Cancelling - Wow, as soon as they are switched on, the ANC kicks in and pretty much puts you in a world of your own, its freaky but comfortable, no weird feelings of pressure change, they just work. Great Sound Quality - Superb, there are a few shared playlists on most streaming services there people have shared their 'Headphones Testing Playlists' definitely worth a listen when testing new headphones and these playlists usually contain some tracks designed for headphones and to hear them on a good set is quite amazing. These do not disappoint. Comfort - Lightweight, no stress on my head (and I wear glasses) and for me, the most comfortable headphones I have ever used (and I have gone through many, many sets over the years) Niggles - Yes, of course. You can only connect to one active device at a time, (the Jabra's allowed two connections) meaning if I want to change from my phone to my MacBook, I have to disconnect from one then connect to the other, this may not sound like much hassle but once you have used a set that can connect to 2 devices simultaneously, you will notice the different (especially if you move from devices a lot). Second niggle, the auto power off is based on BT connectivity, not actual use. Meaning, if I take the headphones off to stop using them, but the device they are connected to is still in range (and it always is within the house or office) they won't power off (other headphones I have turn off after a period of inactivity), this caught me out a few times so now I have to make the conscious decision to power them down each time I finish using them. Third and final niggle is that the Sony App isn't fully compatible with iOS13/13.1/13.2 some features simply don't work. No sign of a firmware update as yet. Features - Excellent, although these are not a newly released headphone, they are jam packed with features. The touch controls are very good, just the right sensitivity and each to get used to. The ANC levels are also superb as you can vary via the app. The codes supported covers the entire range of possibilities. Finally, despite the problems with iOS13, the app is very good. You get a very good equaliser, ANC control and access to other settings. Compared to the Jabra? - Difficult, the Jabra sound better to me and they do have some positives that best the Sony's but the ANC isn't as good (lets face it nothing from any brand is at this moment in time). I done a big comparison between the two and the Jabra faired very favourably but in the end I opted for these and I am glad I did. Hope this helps someone looking to buy these - Cheap they are not but quality they most certainly are. If you found this useful, please tick the little thumbs up - Thank you.

Very impressive noise cancelling, bass bit heavy for vocal music.
I first tried out the cheaper WH-CH700N because I was very reluctant on getting headphones with touch controls but after getting disappointed by the sound quality I decided to take the plunge with these anyway. First impressions, active noise cancellation is on a *whole* different level. As soon as I put them on it was like I was whisked away to another world and thought, "Wow, where'd all the noise go!" That "HD Noise Cancelling" isn't just sales talk. With the CH700N I could still hear the clicking of the mouse and the fans of my PC when I was actively gaming but as soon as I put these on, I couldn't hear anything apart from the muffled clicks of my mechanical keyboard. So you can as other reviews have mentioned, leave these on with nothing playing to use as ear plugs (very expensive ones!). Noise cancelling can be controlled via a physical button which also cycles between letting outside noise in or not. It can be quite annoying cycling through the three modes - noise cancelling, ambience and disable noise cancelling. Ambience mode uses the mics capture surrounding sound but obviously it's not going to sound very natural - try sniffing while you have it on. Then you can also completely disable noise cancelling too of course but the headphones don't remember your preference on the next boot up and reverts back to ANC mode. Audio quality sounds cleaner with some bass too, perhaps a bit on the heavy side so that even the vocals sound like they're booming when they shouldn't be. You'll probably want to do some tweaking with the EQ. Downside with this is of course you'll have to do with it every audio player you use these headphones with unless there's some pass thru app that let's you do it. You'll mostly be using the same music player app anyway I guess. On the other hand, the bass sounds just right for orchestral pieces without any EQ adjustments. Another point to note is with noise cancelling disabled the audio quality sounds notably degraded and rough so, it's best to keep NC on. With the CH700N, sound quality didn't change only the volume did. Bluetooth notifications are also louder than the CH700N so even with the volume down on your music it sounds like you have the volume up when hearing them. Touch controls aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. The promotional images make it look as if you need to swipe from specific areas but you don't. You simply swipe in certain directions and it will register. Cupping your whole hand over the side temporarily activates the ambience sound mics. It works but still can't beat taking off your headphones completely of course. It's a gimmicky feature since you can take your headphones off as fast you can activate this feature (and show your full attention). You can swipe up/down multiple times to control the volume or hold your finger down at the end of the swipe to let it continuously adjust. Unfortunately the latter changes the volume too quickly to make it of any use so swiping multiple times is the way to go for now unless there's a firmware update to improve that. Another problem is it's quite easy to bump up the volume by accident when you take the headphones off. Touch controls usually don't work well in cold weather when finger tips are cold and can also lose sensitivity over time but I guess I'll see. Fit wise, they actually feel tighter than the CH700N because I can feel the sides of my head a bit sore after an hour of listening whereas the other headphones took longer to feel the strain. The "n" arc is a fair bit narrower due to the shorter head band and it's probably so they can fit inside the fabric hard case it comes in. While the case itself looks nice, the compact size also means if you ever extend the headphones, you have to slide them back into place before they can fit back into the case every time. This might not be so good for durability on the headphones in the long term as you keep extending and shrinking the bands. The case also houses a 3.5mm cable and a flight plug converter. The USB 3.0 to USB-C cable is ridiculously short at just over 10cm long (excluding the connector ends)... They must expect you to have a laptop to charge from or have your own extender cable. Build quality feels solid and no worries about the headphones being a fingerprint magnet thanks to the matte finish instead of a glossy one. Battery life is impressive. I didn't have to recharge even once just out-the-box after watching a few movies whereas with my old Turtle Beach PX5 wireless, they barely lasted 1 movie on 2x AA batteries. On a full charge I managed to get the full 30 hours with ANC on, the same was what it claims on paper. You can get more if you don't use ANC apparently. Not many manufacturers manage to honour what they claim Song has in this case. So bottom line, extremely impressive noise cancelling headphones that really just leaves you with your music. On the other hand sound quality could be better balanced out of the box. It just needs less emphasis on the bass for enjoying vocal music. And as with all high end, wireless headphones remember to check if your device's bluetooth supports high end audio codecs (such as aptX or LDAC in this case) for the best audio experience. GREAT - Very impressive active noise cancelling - like being whisked to another world! - Noise cancelling is on even without music playing, could use as ear plug. - 30 hours of battery life with ANC on just at it claims on paper. - Can be used wired. - Light weight. NOT SO GREAT - Sound is quite bass heavy for vocal music. Will probably need an EQ to tweak it. - Cycling through the modes when you want noise cancelling off. - Headband arc is quite short so clamp can feel uncomfortable after a short while. - Ambience sound pass thru is more of a gimmick. - Ridiculously short USB to USB-C cable. - Odd auto power off right after connecting to bluetooth.

Good sound, other issues
I got these and the Bose QC35 II, ended up keeping these. The good: 1. Good sound. Not amazing, but good. I'm used to the Sony sound as I love my Sony earphones. When I first tried the Bose ones, they sounded different but also poorer quality in higher registers. These ones have the typical Sony sound, and no quality issues like the Boses had. I'd say these are not as good as the earphones, which are wired, but very nearly as good. 2. Noise cancellation. I don't know if it's any better than the Bose ones, but it's definitely good. These days my neighbour has been tearing up his extension's foundations. With the door to my room closed, and these headphones on, I can feel the jackhammer's vibration in my desk without hearing any sound. 3. Zoom calls. It's fine for that. From reading reviews it sounded like people had issues with this headset, but all I can say is that it works fine for me. I don't use them out and about, but from my home office it's perfectly fine. I would say the sound of my voice isn't crystal clear; I've heard playbacks from recorded calls, and there is always a very slight distortion on the voice, but it's slight and others think my sound is very clear. The average: 1. Comfort. They're ok but not as comfortable as the Bose headphones. I do find myself moving them around on my head from time to time as they start to annoy my head after a while. Bear in mind (a) I am bald, so that undoubtedly contributes; and (b) I wear them for about 10 hours straight most days. They're definitely not uncomfortable headphones, just that they could be better. 2. TV watching. Prior to these headphones I used a much cheaper BT headset which had Bluetooth 5.0. I never noticed any sync delays with those. With these ones I do. However it isn't consistent - sometimes I notice no delay at all, other times there seems to be a slight delay. It doesn't bother me much, especially as I mostly watch subbed anime. But if TV watching is your primary purpose for these, then I'd choose another set that has BT 5.0 or higher. 3. The swipe functionality for volume and previous/next is kinda cool, but for some reason my swiping motion to put the volume up often enough does a "next" instead. Obviously the direction I'm moving my finger is the wrong angle, but I wouldn't have this issue with proper buttons, so it can be a bit annoying. The bad: 1. These headphones will connect automatically to my PC if bluetooth is enabled when they are switched on. That's the only scenario where that happens. If BT is enabled after they are switched on, they won't auto connect. If I move away from the PC and the connection drops, and I'm away for more than about 5 seconds, they won't auto connect. On my TV, in no scenario will they ever auto connect. Both the Bose and my old cheaper headphones auto connected in all those scenarios. 2. Quality. I'm on my second pair of these. The first very quickly developed this strange issue where after about 30-60 minutes of being turned on, one of the ears would start making this sound I can only describe as a gentle blowing in my ear. Not consistent, sort of as if you were listening to waves on the shore or something. Turning off and back on wouldn't get rid of it, however leaving off for a prolonged period e.g. overnight would, though it would be back not long after it was turned on again the next day. This is only an issue when noise cancelling is enabled. From reading online it appears this is an issue more than a few have experienced with this model, and there doesn't appear to be a known fix. I returned it and got another one in its place. I have actually experienced the same thing briefly a couple of times with this new headset, but that's it - the rest of the time it's been perfectly fine. So I decided to keep it, especially as my company is paying for it, but there does appear to be some underlying problem with the noise cancelling functionality of this model. So why these over the Bose QCs? 1. Sound is much better on the Sonys. Both for music and TV. 2. Zoom calls on the PC with the QCs were bizarre - as soon as the mic was enabled (i.e. any time it goes into recording mode, e.g. as soon as you join a Zoom call), it would actually play in my ears any sounds the mic picked up, instead of only transmitting them as "outgoing" audio. So on any call I'd constantly be getting an amped up "room environment" sound in my ears, any typing I did would be super loud, etc. Not a zoom issue as I could recreate it by putting them in recording mode outside of zoom. I tried to find a solution, tried various things I found online to address this, but none of it worked. Also, I never had this issue with any other headset I used on this PC, just the QCs. For those reasons I went with the Sonys.

Impressive NC, Exceptional Sound Quality.
Simply incredible. The sound quality on these is exceptional - I tested it out on some of my favourite songs and it was so good I had the hairs on my neck stand up! I mainly bought these for long haul flights. I've done 12hrs to Mauritius with these (13hr battery life so figured it was a great test) and a 9hr Chicago - both 'sleeper service' night flights on the way home. I almost bought the Bose option but didn't like the design of the newer model and felt the QCs seemed a bit dated compared to this. I tried them out in a shop before ordering on Amazon and these were the solid winners at that time. Set Up The packaging is great and the quality of the headphones are the best I've seen and hands down are built better than the Bose ones. A little frustrating to set up to begin with - you have to download 2 apps that will work with the headphones and then set them up using this. Took about 10mins or so but it had a lot of options for level of noise cancellation etc etc. Quality The headphones are crisp, clear - great on the bass and all round gives exceptional sound for movies and music Comfort Great padding around the ears, little sore after a few hours of wearing them around the top of my head where the headband bit goes. Perhaps I need to loosen the headband one more notch on each side but it was the same on both long haul sets of flights - after a few hrs it was nice to take them off a bit. Noise Cancelling Exceptional. Sat on a Boeing 777-200ER running GE90 engines and sat in the centre of the aircraft at the window looking at the engines is noisy. For the second flight I was in a Boeing 787-9 Dtreamliner (known to be a lot quieter than older aircraft so figured it was a great comparison). After takeoff I put my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones on and left them on for at least 3-4hrs or so. When I took them off I didn't realise how loud the aircraft actually was! It was so quiet and nicely insulated from the noise wearing the headphones that when I took them off it sounded and felt like I was hanging out the window! I had the same experience on the 787 too. The noise cancelling is exceptionally good and easily class-beating. Quirks One thing that I still don't get is every now and again when using the headphones for at least an hour I get a ding noise from the headphones - and it'll randomly turn passive hearing on or off itself. Bit random and when it happens - a little frustrating. Features It has sensors in the sides allowing you to brush the sides up, down, sideways etc to change things like volume, song, passive mode etc. Passive mode is particularly good - it activates microphones on the headphones that allow you to have a conversation with people - for example, the cabin crew - whilst leaving the headphones on. I tried it and it works really really well but the one thing I kept thinking was "I know this has passive chat but this cabin crew girl doesn't" so took them off out of fear for coming across as rude! Battery Says it'll last for about 13hrs and it sure does! Amazing battery life

King of noise cancellation
Prior to the WH-1000XM3 headphones, i owned the Bose QC35 Series 1 and the Series 2s. Whilst each of these headphones have their own pros and cons, on average I have found the Sonys to be the final winner. The XM3s are an absolute beast at functionality and noise cancellation. As soon as you put these on, you find yourself immersed in your music. The bass is whilst not as good as the QC35 Series, it does the job. And if you were to look at balanced sound, these pack a heartier punch. If you want just bass, then probably the Beats by Dre headphones that Apple peddles will be the ones for you. The noise cancellation is tremendous. In every way i have found these to provide better cancellation than the QC35s both series 1 and 2. They block out all of my travel sound as I sit on a packed train into the city. The connect seamlessly to my iPhone X and hardly ever cuts out. The touch controls are slightly less exciting compared to the QC35s. The QCs are button controlled and you can double press buttons and have up and down volumes. Alternatively, like the old Parrot headphones, the Sonys require you to swipe up and down and left and right in order to control. You also have a double tap for play and pause (along with answering and ending a call). These controls whilst seem like a step in the right direction, are still in their infancy. I have found on one of my other units of these (which were returned) slightly unreliable, in particular in hot, humid and extreme cold weather. I have found in extreme cold weather, it will sometimes register phantom touches, and in extreme warm weather, touches are not registered. Where as for the Bose headphones, the buttons are always responsive. The earcups are more comfortable than the QC35s, they are padded and smell great of leather. The give when you pull these out is elastic and you can wear these comfortably for a 12 hour flight without issue. However note that these are slightly more shally than the QC35s, so those with big ears will find you ear touch the edge of the speaker. Not really an issue for me - and i think they are comfortable enough to not be an issue. One issue with these headphones is that you need overall cup fit and isolation for the ANC to work. This means your ears are completely covered, and hence on a hot day - you'll definitely get some sweaty ears. Not the most comfortable in hot weather. These headphones are not rated to be waterproof. I have however worn these in the rain before without issues - but i would warn against wearing them in heavy rain as you dont want to damage your device! Battery life is excellent - i often dont have to charge them for a couple of weeks. I use them on a daily basis on my commute and have never ran out of battery. You can charge them via USB C and and there is quick charge functionality to give you a bit of juice for a small amount of charging time. The app is much more sophisticated than what Bose provides. It allows you to customise the level of noise cancellation from 1-10 and you can set it to automatically switch between noise cancellation modes. For example if you are on transport and it detects this, it can turn down cancellation so that you can hear the announcements. However i find this to be only a bit more than a gimmick as it also uses more battery life in doing this. You can also manually set how much you want to cancel noise without the detection system. There are great equalisers and positioners which can customise where you want the noise to be coming from. I haven't really figured out a practical use for this yet. My only real issue with these headphones is the way it folds. Someone at Sony really messed up when it came to designing how it fits into the case. Somehow you can't pull it out of the case, straighten up and put on. You have to take it out, twist it around 180 degrees and then put it on. A silly little thing, but whoeever designed the hinge should really focus on real life use before finalising. Sure it is a small detail, but it is an important one in the overal customer experience. Despite a couple of small snags, you'll end up hearing songs of the past the way they were meant to be heard. These are miles ahead of the competition at this point in time and at this price point. Whilst a bit pricier than some of its competitors, it has the best in class ANC technology. Though i haven't actually tested the Bose 700s yet, so it could swing back for me. But if you're looking for tried and tested magnificent headphones. These are the bad boys for you. 5/5 recommended.

Silence never sounded so good
I've had my pair for a couple of days now and so I feel pretty confident in assessing the quality of them. I'm just going to get this bit out the way first. Google assistant only kind of works how they say it does. It says that Google assistant can be used via the NC and ambient sound button, which it totally can. But you cannot use that button for switching between NC and ambient sound and still use Google assistant. You have to choose (in the app) which you want. This was disappointing but not a bit issue as when I tried out Google assistant it sucked. I couldn't really tell whether it had picked up what I said and for some strange reason the ambient sound mics are turned on and you can hear your own voice which is a little annoying. Also if you were to use this on a busy road it probably won't hear what you say because of the ambient sound mics being on. My experience with the sound quality is a little different to most people. My reference point for sound quality comes from my HyperCloud XII's and they have truly amazing sound quality, better than almost any other headphones. So when I first put the Sony's on they sounded only slightly better than my other headphones. This isn't bad at all because it really shows just how good the Sony's are because they have slightly smaller drivers and so don't push as much physical air but some how still sound better than my other headphones. So yes they sound absolutely amazing. They sound just as good with NC on, which a lot of NC headphones don't. I can't compare them to Bose's offering as I haven't owned them but I have owned Sennheiser PX 550's and the Sony's sound leagues better than the 550's. Truth be told it's not even close with how much better the Sony's sound. The NC is probably what you're most interested in. The NC on these is, in my best guess, pure witchcraft. They do a fab job of keeping out the world around you and letting you focus on what you need to. I took these out which I drove to get some shopping and they were dangerously quiet. I couldn't hear my engine, the AC, my door close or anything - just pure silence. In busy households or shops they will block out peoples voices really well. They won't completely block voices out but they are quiet enough to the point that once you have music going you won't hear any voices or background noise. The ability to cup your hand over the right earcup to turn on ambient sound if you quickly need to talk to someone now handy. Not much really say about it other than that. They are seriously comfortable to wear. I experienced a little bit of pinching at the top of the head but it was so slightly you forget about it after 10 minutes. This is just a by-product of a thin headband. The pressure isn't distributed as much as say gaming headphones with a much wider band. It's nothing to worry about though. I didn't experience any discomfort from the clamping force on my jaw. My ears get a little warm but only ever so slightly. Not an issue for me. Pairing is super easy on a phone as you just tap the left earcup and boom, they're connected. But, they don't play well when connected to two devices at once. To clarify, you can connect to two devices but audio will only play out the first device connected. To switch from having sound come from your phone to your laptop or PC you have to physically go into settings and click disconnect on your phone. This doesn't mean you have to set it up again on your phone, just means they are no longer connected to you phone. This is annoying as I do this most nights in bed. If you plan to use these with a PS4 then you are Sh*t out of luck my friend. It appears that Sony (on the PS4 end) decided at some point in 2016 to stop supporting Bluetooth headphones on the PS4. So you can't connect these via Bluetooth to a PS4. Sucks but if you already having gaming headphones then it's no biggie. The battery is really good. 30 hours with NC is no joke. Will last a 20+ plane ride. Having USB-C is a god send. It means I can charge my: phone, laptop, earphones and headphones all with one cable. Overall all these are absolutely worth your £330. I paid £289. This price went back to normal within a few hours which makes me think it might have been a mistake on Amazon's end. But still, if I had paid £330 I would still be very happy with them.

Perfect voor iedereen
Werkt perfect beste koptelefoon die ik ooit heb gekocht. Heeft goede klank zowel van bas als van treble. ANC is boven mijn verwachtingen. Raad deze ten zeerste aan.

Najlepszy wynalazek na home office
Działają świetnie - najlepszy stosunek jakości do ceny w porównaniu do wyższych modeli XM4 i XM5. Jedyny minus to fakt, że trzeba ręcznie się przełączać między źródłami dźwięku po bluetooth.

Et dire que j'ai failli ne pas l'acheter...
En toute franchise quand j'ai vu les commentaires et en particulier les critiques j'étais à 2 doigts de ne pas acheter ce casque...Parce qu'on ne va pas se mentir avec un prix qui varie entre 250€ et 300€ c'est quand même un sacré budget ! Je vais faire court et simple, car y en a marre des évaluations imbuvables de 4 pages... "Basseux" ? ABSOLUMENT PAS !!! Mais alors pourquoi ce caractère ressort dans tous les commentaires ? Et bien c'est simple, certains sites dit "spécialisés" comme "Les numériques" qui ne sont pas toujours très objectifs quoi qu'on en dise...l'ont classé comme "basseux", donc tout le monde le reprend. De plus l'appli permet de régler l'égaliseur à votre goût, donc je ne vois vraiment pas le problème... Non ce casque restitue absolument toute la gamme de fréquence et contrairement à la majorité des casques il restitue parfaitement les basses sans détériorer les aigus et ni les médiums. Il est à l'aise sur toutes les musiques, c'est vraiment bluffant. Sur la BO exigeante de Dark Knight de Hans Zimmer, il se balade littéralement, en Jazz sur Take Five, on entend tout de la symbale ride à la grosse caisse, avec un son super ample....C'est absolument fabuleux ! Pour info je déteste les casques qui cachent la misère derrière des basses, ici il n'y a pas de misère ! Bruyant pour les voisins dans les transports : NON sauf peut-être en se faisant saigner les tympans.... Inconfortable : NON même pour les grosses têtes à condition de bien ouvrir l'arceau. Réduction de bruit : Il laisse sur place son concurrent direct BOSE. Pour avoir comparé les deux dans un magasin FN.C en période de Noël, le Sony nous isole totalement, là où le BOSE n'arrive absolument pas. L'appli Sony : Ultra intuitive offre des réglages vraiment complets, et pour ceux qui ont (entre autre) Deezer, l'appli Sony étudie la forme de vos oreilles pour diffuser un son spatial encore plus précis adapté à votre pavillon ! Une autonomie fabuleuse, aucun bug, un son qui déchire compatible avec TOUS les styles de musique, une isolation parfaite...du Sony quoi ! Le Bose reste sur place dans tous les domaines (en tout cas pour les modèles existants, car ils vont sûrement réagir !). Pour les budgets serrés dirigez vous vers les offres reconditionnés en "occasion très bon", même s'il est stipulé qu'il peut y avoir des rayures ça n'a jamais été mon cas et pourtant je suis un grand adepte. Seule la boite est parfois un peu abîmée, ici pour ce produit elle ne l'était même pas. Bref foncez les yeux fermés !!!
