Hey everybody! It's Nabeel Mulla with you here again today and today I'm here to
show you the brand new sony MDR-Z7M2 headphones! What do you think? It's a nice
looking box. These are super expensive headphones. These will run you about $900
I've never paid that much money for a pair of headphones before. I've been
dying to find out if they're worth it. What do you think? Leave a comment down
below if you think they're gonna be worth $900 or if you think you can get
something better for like $150 or equally as good.
Alright. So without further ado let's open up the box and see what we've got
inside. "He removed the shell ever so slowly to reveal a black box with the
Sony logo on it!" Alright well so far so good
and now to open up the sony box. Aaaah it's like a book. Chapter 1: Headphones. Nice
little box . Could store 'em in this box if you wanted to. So let's see up here we've got...
They take extra care, extra precaution to keep these safe and undamaged. These are
the wires that screw into the headphones. This right here will just pop
up and screw on. there you can see a red one and a white one and here's the other
end to go into the music source this is a super flexible cord the ridges that go
along it really help with the flexibility also in that bag is a
quarter inch jack so this will just go into here if you've got receivers or
high-end audio layers second thing is
second set of wires here's the difference between the two plugs but
again on this second wire there's the red and the white same screw on and the
last thing in that little compartment is some paperwork so the first tiny little
piece of folded up the paperwork is pardon let me put all morita glasses
when I was your age we didn't have reading glasses sorry so this paperwork
tells you about disposal of old electronics equipment how to dispose of
it properly all right next thing we've got is the sony limited warranty
US and canada only one year let you go ahead and read that real fast alright
now that you've got that done sony manual oh it's giant could hang this on
your wall if you wanted so we've got precaution specifications trademarks how
to use and that's in all different kinds of languages 19 different languages at
least hopefully you're one of the lucky ones that get it written in your
language one of the precautions it says is do not forcibly push the headphones
onto your ears or pull them off quickly because that can result in eardrum
damage what when connecting the cable make sure to fully insert the plug into
the jack come on guys make sure you're fully inserted okay and here's an
important one that is not intuitive whatsoever so it's very important that
they put this in the instruction manual and it is if you experience discomfort
while using the unit stop using it immediately
that's like those medicine commercials on TV where it says like if you are
allergic to this medicine do not take this medicine really here it is the
headphones themselves let's get them out and see what we got
Wow these are super light these are much
lighter than the box itself box is actually a little bit heavy and these
headphones feel good these might be worth the $900 after all I just want to
touch them man they feel good okay so it's like powder coated on the exterior
of where the ears are the ear pads the ear pads themselves supersoft foam them
inside they don't flip up this is as much as they swivel on the sides okay
you got left and right clearly marked got leather clad top boom right here
super soft I mean that is well between my index fingers right up in here really
soft can see how much give there is and then right where my thumb's are it's it
starts to stiffen up so from here down on both sides is much
stiffer much harder there's just the just the leather or vegan leather that
softens it but it's hard down in here so a pretty cool pattern inside there if
you can see that and then back here is where the cord screws on this cord there
of the two cords one is longer than the other this one is about let's see
about eight feet - right here where it splits roughly we get the light that
goes with the light you just pop it in and then to hold it in place you screw
that on and it screws on there you have it this is how it looks can you hear me
what feels good on the ears it's moving my glasses around a little bit take
those off for now that feels nice on the ears
got a nice seal all the way around so I got to be honest with you here this is
by far the most expensive headphones I've ever tried and I am a doubter I'm a
doubter that I'm gonna notice that big of a difference to where I'm gonna want
to show out nine hundred dollars for a pair of headphones but I do have an open
mind about them if they're the best things I've ever heard 100 percent I
won't be afraid to say hey these are awesome but right now I'm thinking you
know what could possibly make them be worth nine hundred dollars as opposed to
say these be motaz these are the crossfade to codex edition that were
about 350 so how could these be that much better than those which I love I
don't know maybe they dispense Pringles out of the ear pads I don't know so I'm
gonna give them a try and I'll let you know what I think so some of the pros
and cons about these these are capable of playing high res audio so in order to
do that you'll need a file format that is high res so if you're playing an mp3
that's not high res audio so it's not going to be playing high res you know
the file format is important you're gonna lose some of the original sound
just for compression and things like that high res file formats are like flak
or a lack so if you've got some songs recorded under that file then you're
good to go another selling point of these is
they've got giant drivers they're huge they're seventy millimeters that's
pretty big yeah I guess the theory is you know the
bigger the driver the better the sound I don't think that's always the case but
these are huge 70 millimeters also the ear pads are really big unless you're
like a certain flying elephant I think these will definitely totally encompass
your ears I've got plenty of room around mine
and they are super comfortable I did notice that when I was wearing them and
I was getting into it and I was kind of you know bobbing my head around with it
that the headphones felt like they had a life of their own like they weren't
moving with my head they were like a step behind so they were kind of going
in the opposite direction of my head which was a little bit annoying but you
know if you're if here does the mellow listener and you're just keeping your
head still then that's not an issue but they were really light and I felt like I
could wear them forever they're cavernous around my ears cavernous yet
they still have a full seal these are supposed to be able to reproduce sound
from from four Hertz to 100 kilohertz I don't know if my rate my hearing range
can go quite that far but these are capable of reproducing that now I have
two songs that I use basically when I'm testing out new headphones to really
kind of judge the sound and see how I like it
one is a saguaro song and the other is Jack White corporation and what I found
I compared this with my v-moda crossfade to codex Edition headphones and what I
found was that the Sony's were definitely not better than the V motaz
I'm sorry to say it that when I listened to those two songs like I listened to
them several times on each really trying to just I had just isolated sound I
found that the V Moto's really had more of a 3d sound field especially with the
saguaros song it's got it's got a full orchestra in that song it's got the main
vocal it's got a background choir
it's got piano it's got bass it's got bass drum it's got horns it's got a
whole string section and when I'm listening in the B moto headphones I can
pick out each you know each section the horns are you know the horns are right
there so clear in the right ear and the and the the strings in the left ear it's
beautiful the bass is a real deep bass the vocals
are crystal clear the the lead vocal as well as the choir they're separated it's
just that I feel like I'm in there listening while they're playing live it
it's just it's unbelievable with the Sony's I will say this that
with the B Moto's the bass did somewhat wash out the piano
there's prevalent piano in the song and sometimes the piano is playing by itself
and sometimes it's there's bass with it and the bass does kind of wash out the
piano with the V motors in the Sony about the only thing that really did
stand out was the piano I felt like I was sitting right there next to the
piano but everything else the horns the vocals just everything else besides the
piano everything else sort of felt flat so almost as if like everything was on
one one recording track instead of each having their own separate layered tracks
and then bringing them all together sort of if you you know what I'm talking
about you know what I'm talking about so it just felt sort of flat like like
these fell not completely flat don't get me wrong I mean it still sounded good
but I definitely liked the song better with these and the Jack White song which
is completely different it's still a layered song it doesn't have the full
orchestra or anything like that it's got a lot of electronic instruments it's got
bass high vocals with that one I would say they were about Eve
so if these guys have the same sound characteristics roughly and this one is
$900 and this one is 350 it's a no-brainer
this guy I'm sorry to say loses out in this battle these are really super nice
headphones very comfortable but for $900 I don't think they're worth it if they
were $400 okay maybe $400 with the Sony
craftsmanship okay I still personally would go with the 350 V Mota's but you
know if you love the brand of the sony brand i wouldn't be mad at you if you
got these for 400 if you get them for 900 alright so be it but i wouldn't all
right so wait for these to go on sale well that's it I hope you liked this
