If you ride a lawnmower, these H.Ps are a dream come true, it really cuts the motor noise to almost completely. If and when you hear some noise, ambiance noise or people talking, they sound very distant. If someone approaches you to ask something, simply place your right hand/palm up against the right ear cup and the BT will briefly turn on Ambient NOISE and quiet the music so you can hear everything as if you are not wearing the headphones.As you remove your hand from the cup, the BT turns ON N.C and the music returns from where it left off. Truly remarkable!!
Okay, On sound, i almost returned them because i was not impressed with the sound, they sounded thin and anemic. So, i let them run many hours as much as i had time in effort to burn them in. Well, 4 days before i was about to return them, they opened up and i was wowed!! Now, they sound the way Sony should sound. I have several Sony HPs sound i know the Sony signature. When the N.C is ON, it make a tad more bass but it loses a tad more high end detail. Still sounds very good but when N.C is not crucial for me, i simply turn OFF N.C. to achieve a more detailed sound. As you turn the NC back ON and hear everything go completely quiet and then the music comes on, it tricks into thinking it sounds better with the NC ON but a closer listen will suggest that in the OFF mode, the overall sound is a tad better. I'm nick picking here but i am an Audiophile so its rigged in me to do so.
One thing for sure, it runs very well on cell phones, i have the pixel and it sounds exceptional even though the pixel has to possess the lowest volume of all cell phones. So i downloaded the Jet Audio App and things got even better. I was actually impressed with the sound coming from my cell phone which i never, never use for music use. I played around with the Sony Connect App which is suggested for the use of these HPs but since the app is not compatible with my music players, i simply don't use it and i don't need it and neither will you unless you use your cell phone for listening. One note on the Sony Connect App, if you connect SBC (standard bluetooth connect) you can use the EQ supplied by the app but it will come with a price, near CD quality sounding only. However if you connect LDAC which this HPs allows, the sound will be above CD quality and sound pretty darn great but you can't use the EQ supplied by the Sony Connect App.
The Sources i used to pair these HPs were the following:
Sony Walkman ZX2 in LDAC mode.....a match made in heaven even though the Sony Walkman disables all EQing, its strictly a flat sounding signature and i was still impressed. Keep in mind, i'm judging on BT not hardwired as to not confuse or derail Audiophiles out there reading this review. In LDAC it sounds pretty darn great, hardwire sounded even better but i didn't buy these for hardwired, i have over 26 headphones ranging from 50-550 dollars, not to mention all the IEMs i also possess.
Also used my Fiio X7MK2 with the PowerAmp App. installed so i can use EQ here because my two portable separate amps are not BT so they stay out of this review. I achieved a fuller sound with the Fiio because i was able to tailor the EQ to my liking. Anyone that is familiar with the Sony headphones will know that Sonys signature is on the slight dark side of the frequency spectrum, more like the vinyl sound with dips in between the 2-4khz region so while its a very pleasant mellow sound and misses on some of the instruments which reside on the 2-4k region but will not fatigue your ears. So preference is in order here.
Now, you would ask....is the NC features and sound signature better than the Bose Q35?.....YES and YES!! On sound, there is no question. On NC the Sonys by a tad.
Connects in an instant, has long range and the battery lasts a long time.
Now for Audiophiles, are the Sony WH1000XM2 audiophile grade?.......Not yet, but they have a very appealing and acceptable sound that does not disappoint. Also, judgement is on BT function....NOT Fair? Perhaps.
Are they well built? They sure are. Are they more comfortable than the Bose Q35?....NOPE! but good enough for me.
Lastly...Are they worth 350.00 dollars?.....NOPE!! but if you want the best NC in the market.....Sony Ace'd it!
P.S watch Massdrop when they sell these Sonys they will sell them at 250.00. Jump on them then!
I can only say that I am very well pleased with this purchase, and enjoy using them daily since they arrived. They are an excellent buy! I don't see how anyone could be disappointed after buying this product. These are the finest headphones I have ever experienced in the under $400 range. The only thing even close is the Bose offering, but I found the Sony product to be a bit sturdier and more comfortable when wearing for hours at a time, on a daily basis. Whether listening to music, watching movies, or playing games, the sound is very very good, without distortion even at higher listening volume. They recharge quickly, and the charge lasts over 30 hours. Very impressive, and yet they remain very light on the head. and the ear surrounds are very comfortable, and seal around the ears extremely well.
I really have not found anything to dislike or have issue with relative to this product. I occasionally wish the range for the bluetooth was a bit larger radius
