hi guys welcome back so today we have got an unboxing and a review of the new sony
noise cancelling headphones II WH 1000 mx2 this is the second version of this
pair of headphones the first pair come out a year ago and these are now the
updated one so let's crack on with the unboxing and get on with the review so
these headphones have got quite a bit of technology packed into it and let's get
have a crack and have a look at so they come in this nice sleek box nice and
packaged had nice it's got this sony logo on there as well for you sony okay
nice okay so when you open the box as you can see you have the headphones case
in here and this is quite sturdy it's not a hard case but it's durable and it
feels like it's gonna look after you stuff also like a flexible pouch on this
case as well you could probably fit your wires and accessories in there next in
the case as you can see there is a charging cable on the side and this is
to charge your headphones because they are wireless and then to the left
there's also an audio cable so you can connect these if one of your devices
doesn't have Bluetooth or NFC you can connect one of these with the cable so
they're still not totally wireless you can still use them as a genetic pair of
headphones and then next you have the warranty and manual in there so that's
everything that's inside of the box so let's crack off with the headphones
themselves as you can see
oh well so these are packaged nicely so as you can see these headphones fold
away differently one side falls all the way in and one doesn't and I guess it
makes it a bit more compact okay so there's also adapted for your
airplane adapter so you can listen to these on the airplane so you pop that
pops up in there so it's nice a little storage base for it so you know the case
the case is quite loud but it's actually quite durable I pop it or push into it
doesn't move that much and like I said earlier there's there's also a pouch on
the back so you can put your wires in and your charging cable which is quite
handy because a lot of cases don't have that it's good but there's still put it
in there so the headphones folded up like this in the case fold out like that
so these headphones feel really light and they feel light but they don't it's
not like they don't feel cheap if that makes sense because it on here is like a
brushed aluminium the top is super soft so compared to some other headphones
that I had like the Bowers and Wilkins this top it was so hard that it actually
hurt my head after wearing them for a while that's a good thing that this is
really soft and it's softer than the beats up here the cans actually feel
quite soft as well this is like a PVC lever though rule feel feels quite nice
this is like a a rubbery plastic on this side
I'm guessing scratch resistance but from the feel it feels like it could scratch
overall design that I think they look good they look good and they feel light
so they don't think they're gonna hurt when I bet them for like an extended
period of time so at the bottom you have the 3.5
millimeter jack here and then you also have the charging port okay and there's
two only two buttons on this whole device and we'll get on to how to change
songs etc later we have like a noise cancelling button so you can turn it off
and on or different levels well okay so might be speaking really loud right now
because I can't hear my own voice but here I have the app down here and stuff
so the first thing is is that there has a noise canceling optimizer and what's
good about this is is that it can analyze the atmospheric pressure and it
optimizes the noise cancelling and the sound quality of your music to match
that so basically all these are gonna be perfect for anyone who's a frequent
flyer and they travel a lot so these will block out
playing using atmospheric pressure which is a lot more it's a it's a better way
of doing it whilst you're on a plane another thing about the noise canceling
optimization is it can analyze your head shape your if you're wearing glasses
your hair and then optimizes the sound that will perfectly match you so these
are great for anyone who wears glasses and sometimes this glasses can like open
up the cans here and allow sound to get seep in but these are going to help that
with the optimization of the atmospheric pressures and optimizing it to your head
so these are really good headphones at blocking out sound and I'd love to do a
comparison against the Bose headphones to see how they sound but we've also
gonna be in another video so make sure you subscribe because every more videos
for you so the connectivity of these is that they work with 3.5 millimeter jack
their bluetooth and they use NFC so you've got a wide variety of connections
that you can connect to your devices to which is so convenient helpful so so I'm
gonna use the noise canceling optimizer first okay so I'm gonna listen to a few
tracks and just let you know what I think of them
these sound awesome I don't know if you can hear that it really is so immersive
that you can literally hear everything so clearly loves things in the songs
that you would never hear before I wish that they were a bit louder I've got
them on full volume and I still don't feel like they're loud enough as you can
see they are quite loud but I can't hear a thing like can't hear it okay so a
nice little feature of this headphones is is that whenever you need to talk to
so in conversation you don't actually have to take them off hook your hand on
the side and I can hear everything through the headphones now and it turns
the noise canceling off so this is great for on a plane for example where you're
got airhostess as it you're in your own zone and all of a sudden the ice that's
asked if you need anything you can simply just cover this ear cup with your
hand and yeah it uses the microphone in the headphones to pick up sound so you
can hear it really clearly but yeah it's a great little feature for that other
headphones don't have so this also has the the technology DC HX which is in a
lot of Sony headphones but it's the digital sound enhancement engine it's a
mouthful I know so basically what this does it can upscale the compressed audio
files and basically brings them closer to the quality of high resolution audio
bar basically restoring the high range sound lost in the compression basically
machen makes you sound more rich and makes it more vibrant sounding so it
also has great a wireless set all set it transmits LDAP which transfers three
times more data than your conventional bluetooth which allows you to enjoy high
resolution audio content a better sound quality than most other headphones are
provided the biggest thing about this pair of headphones is that it has 30
hours of charge 30 hours you that's like a whole day's worth of audio in one
charge okay that if you don't use the wireless Bluetooth you can actually last
40 hours and you can all because it also has quick charge you can receive 17
minutes of playback on a 10 minute charge in
you just have to plug it in for ten minutes and you've got at least an hour
and ten minutes of audio so it's great little feature as well if you want to
charge them in the car etc so this also allows for hands-free calling we have to
do is double tap the can and you can answer a call so you can there's also
other touch actions on this can that you can swipe up to turn the volume up swipe
down to turn the volume down swipe across to change audio I found these
features quite fiddly on the previous ones and I also think it's quite fiddly
on these ones and it's probably something that I'm doing wrong not their
headphones itself but I just feel like it'd be nice if there was a bit more of
a click to it or like a vibration so you could actually understand what you're
doing because sometimes you swipe and I'm like why is it I swipe it why is it
not changing and it's probably because I'm like too far across this side or
Knox tight from the center for example so that's something that I don't think
think's a bit gimmicky but it does work and I haven't really took my phone out
to change your song ever so I can't complain
so all these features can be accessed from the app the main thing that kills
other headphones with these these headphones is is that is the adaptive
sound control on them it's basically when connected to the app it can detect
the ambient sound from outside like normal no noise cancelling headphones
but why does it analyzes it so analyzes all these sounds and it can actually
tell what you're doing so if you're walking it would change the noise
cancellation if you're on an aeroplane it would change it if you're running it
will change it again so if you're on a street running it would it'll make your
allow for more sound to enter so you can hear more of the outside - like your
cars and that and it's actually a great little feature that when I went walking
with them because it could tell that I was outside walking it would change the
noise cancellation so I could still hear the outside environment partially just
enough to hear cars etc but also blocking out any other sounds and it's
such a good feature so if you liked this video don't forget to subscribe give us
a thumbs up and there'll be more content coming soon this is my review on these
headphones and I hope you enjoy these
