hey what's up it's Jerad with State of tech and today we're gonna talk about two
different sets of headphones from the same manufacturer we have the wireless
Bluetooth noise cancelling earbuds from Sony these are the Mark threes and then
we also have the over the ear option mark threes from Sony as well that are
noise cancelling now the reason I'm doing this video because these are
obviously two different types of headphones with two different use cases
and they're gonna provide many differences so this is really a
discussion so I'm giving you a warning this is one of those videos where I'm
going to talk a bit and I get kind of ran over in the comments section so I'm
gonna add a new warning to my videos when I talk when I'm gonna be talking
I'm gonna warn you so that you're warned and I will make sure to put some
timestamps down in the description below so that you can kind of click around and
get throughout this video if you don't want to listen to all of my thoughts
because y'all let me know what you think down in the comments section and that's
okay so we have two different sets of headphones here and the reason that I'm
doing this video is because I just recently did a video on the Bluetooth
earbuds and I got a lot of questions about people asking whether or not they
would go with the over the ear or these earbuds and it really is a personal
preference type of decision but I'm going to talk about my experiences and I
hope that by me sharing my experiences with both of these headphones maybe
it'll help you make a decision a better decision a more informed decision so
that's the reason that I'm doing this video so if you don't like my opinion
you can leave the video but otherwise click that like button and let's watch
the rest of it together so these two headphones are obviously different
because over the ear headphones are much larger little earbuds that go inside
your ears are much smaller and so there are different situations where you would
use these headphones it's quite obvious I think to most people probably even you
that you're gonna get a better audio experience out of over the ear
headphones than you will Bluetooth earbuds you have bigger drivers a lot
more going on here it covers the entire ear so your ear work
more in a normal way the the audio can be more experiential because it can you
know utilizes the speakers and everything in here to give you a more
surround type of feeling and experience and so the audio is just gonna be a lot
better in these headphones than they will be in these Bluetooth earbuds
however it doesn't necessarily mean that the experience is all-around better
because these are large and you're gonna have to carry them around with you
they're you know gonna require to be charged of I think the battery life is
actually a little bit longer in them but you're gonna have to charge them whereas
these are chargeable very easily you can just plug in a charger and stick these
you know somewhere in your car they're out of sight out of mind it's a little
bit more to charge these and kind of pull them out of the out of the case and
and so the maintenance process of these are a little bit more is a little bit
more involved there the noise cancelling I think is probably the biggest
discussion to have like how good is the noise cancelling on the over the ear
headphones versus the little in-ear Bluetooth buds now as I mentioned in my
video where I talked more about these specifically the noise cancelling is
fantastic for these little Bluetooth in ear buds they have to have that there's
a lot going on in a small package like these do really well for their size but
the noise canceling is not as good as the over the ear there's much more going
on here there's a lot more room for the technology and you're also just getting
a better overall noise canceling experience because you have a nice
complete seal over your entire ear the in ear buds of course have a seal as
well but it's a little bit different of a feeling and when you actually go to do
the the method of like covering your ear so that it shuts off the noise
cancelling and you're able to actually talk to someone it feels weird doing
that with ear buds I don't know if you've ever tried to talk when you have
ear buds stuck in your ear it's a very weird feeling that same feeling as
sticking your fingers in your ear and creating a seal and trying to talk it's
just a little disorienting they're going to either work towards you purchasing
one versus the other so if you are interrupted quite often I think in and
in the course of your day the experience of being able to answer some questions
or respond to somebody without having to pull your earbud in and out a hundred
times or take your headphones off it's gonna be a little bit better with the
headphones than it is the earbuds because speaking back to somebody with
your fingers stuck in your ear is really weird and disorienting and you're not
gonna get that experience with the over the ear headphones
however the over the ear headphones also kind of send a message that I'm busy
don't bother me because they're big headphones usually when somebody's
wearing headphones that are very noticeable we don't interrupt them we
feel like they're busy you know we'll come back and talk to them later when
they have earbuds in they're smaller for some reason I don't feel so bad about
interrupting somebody that has or talking to somebody that has earbuds in
because earbuds seem pretty normal it's casual or something when you put two
headphones on like this it seems like you're more engulfed in whatever you're
doing so that's also kind of like a lifestyle decision - it really depends
on what you are doing obviously these earbuds are a little bit
more grab-and-go I feel like you would use these for shorter stems put them in
your ears when you have a little bit of time to maybe listen to some music or an
audio book or a podcast or something like that maybe watch a youtube video or
two you might throw these in and it'll block out a little bit of the ambient
noise around you give you a little bit better of an overall experience these
are something you can kind of throw in your pocket or in a bag or something
like that these may be not depending on how much
stuff you want to carry around with you now this case is actually quite large
it's significantly larger than something like air pods so this case is quite big
I don't necessarily think that I would want to pack this around in my pocket
because it's quite large I don't like to carry anything in my pockets that I
don't have to and this is pretty large so I would keep this in my bag and
chances are this would probably fall down underneath something in my bag and
I'd be digging for it anyways whereas with the headphones they come with this
nice case which is a little too big for me to put in my bag but I have a clip on
my bag that I can hang it from and so I just typically hang it from my bag
whenever I want to take these with me now and traveling that's another
instance where noise cancelling headphones really come in handy when you
are flying on an airplane or maybe you're taking the train or the subway or
a bus somewhere you definitely want to be able to block out a little bit of
that ambient noise if you're listening to audio through your device it's really
nice to be able to block that out because you can hear things much better
and then of course the music experience is a lot better to being able to block
out some of that ambient and you're gonna get a better overall experience
out of headphones like these then you are out of earbuds but that trade-off
there really is convenience over quality both of these are expensive devices so I
don't necessarily think that most people are going to go out and buy both of them
but I don't plan on keeping both of these either because they're both pretty
expensive devices and I wouldn't use them both often enough to justify having
both the earbuds and the headphones themselves I have other earbuds that
actually do a decent job I have my Galaxy buds for my note 10 that I've
been using and the Galaxy buds do a pretty decent job they don't noise
cancel as good as these Sony's but they do a decent job and if I want better
then I can go ahead and grab my Sony's and throw these over the ear headphones
on and get a really good experience so for me I think my decision if I had to
choose between these two which I kind of do have to choose between these two I
would rather have the over the ear headphones noise-cancelling for a better
overall experience when I have the time to sit down and listen to music when I'm
listening to an audiobook when I'm at a coffee shop editing video I'll probably
be wearing these while I edit this video whereas if I want a more casual
experience or if I want to listen to music I'm at the gym or something like
that or I just want to throw in some earbuds
just to watch a YouTube video or something without interrupting people I
would probably go with just some basic earbuds and and not really worry about
the high-end features that would come with something like this you know with
these over the ear headphones they feel nice they're very comfortable they pair
really nice to the phone the audio quality is just amazing and so
I really like them but when I put these earbuds in they're a little heavy -
they're a little big and they're not something that I can wear at the gym so
when I throw these in my ear they are in my ear pretty well but moving around I
would fear that they might fall out a little bit and I do have a bigger tip on
them that does create a decent seal in my ear so the audio quality is good you
know everything's good but jumping around sweating you know being busy at
the gym and moving around quite a bit or even going for a walk I would fear that
this would fall out and hit the ground and I just I I'm not gonna put I just
really wouldn't want to put something back in my ear that had been on most
grounds so with that said I think it really does come down to a personal
preference I wanted to share just my experiences because I have used these
whether I've been at home whether I've been at a coffee shop on an airplane
I've used both of these and I think the better overall experience for noise
cancelling and audio quality is gonna be the over the ear headphones
however if carrying these around just sounds like a headache for you having
this large headphone set in your bag or having to deal with it sounds like a
real pain then you're probably better off going with the Bluetooth earbuds the
Bluetooth earbuds do a great job they just aren't going to provide as great of
an audio experience as the over the ear headphones and that's really the case
with every headphone it's not a case of these two versions of headphones it's
over the ear headphones are gonna provide a much stronger sound a much
better all-around sound because they're bigger there's more going on there then
a little tiny earbud that has to do an awful lot with a tiny little package so
I hope that helped I know this is one of those talking videos and some of you get
frustrated about it but a lot of you really do I think appreciate being able
to have a conversation about your technology and not all of us have you
know friends that we can just hang out and talk with I have very few people in
my life that I can sit down and just geek out about technology with so I like
being able to do that together on YouTube and then have conversations with
all of you down in the section below so if you have any
questions anything that I didn't address in this video ask down in the comment
section below I'll do my best to answer it there's
links in the description below to both of these if you are deciding to purchase

Amazon affiliates and all that good stuff so I appreciate that if you do
that it does help support the channel and helps keep me making videos so if
you want more videos like this click thumbs up to let me know that you enjoy
listening to me talk about technology and all that good stuff I appreciate
that and subscribe to the channel here as well clicking that bell next to the
