Review on Sony WI1000X/B: Black Wireless Behind-Neck In-Ear Headphones with Premium Noise Cancelling by Haruto Asahi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

I use it with Huawei P20 Pro. Actually, because of him, I had to take decent headphones that give high-quality sound without an equalizer, since this smartphone turned out to have an inaccessible equalizer with a bluetooth connection. The most important thing is that the headphones really give a very decent sound without any enhancements, if the soundtrack is of high quality, and for this they can be given 5 stars. Next - the nuances :) I already wrote about the inaccessibility of the equalizer. It's not clear what for then it is generally needed in a proprietary application, since listening to music in the SBC codec when the equalizer is available is "pleasure" something else. Active noise cancellation works well. Can't say it's really great. Yes, it dampens noise, but in the old carriages of the Hong Kong metro, the noise comes at a not stressful, but not a small level. In fact, this active noise cancellation is a price for the design features of headphones, the case of which allows this noise to pass through. Conventional Sony wired plugs, without any noise reduction, dampen noise no worse. Wearing this "collar" in winter is not very comfortable. You can get used to it, it's not critical, but it interferes a little if the collar of the jacket is high. The wires in the cold really "dube" but, for me, it is not critical and does not particularly create discomfort. The interlocutor during a conversation, as in a headset, hears normally. The interruption of the sound happens when the environment changes - when you leave the subway, but then, apparently, they adapt. If the smartphone is in a trouser pocket, interruptions happen more often, if in a breast pocket, then it almost never happens. The charge, sometimes, unexpectedly ends. They work 8-12 hours. The charge level is displayed both in the system tray and in firms. application, but in increments of 25% and may drop sharply. I quickly got used to using Google Assistant. Comfortable. Ear pads already 6 sets in stock (3 sizes 2 types). But none of them fit me perfectly. Best of all, which were originally worn. In general, it seems to me optimal in terms of price / characteristics / quality, if you need wireless earbuds. Sound quality is probably the best.

Pros
  • Sound and supported codecs (up to and including LDAC) Working hours Google and other assistants Equipment
Cons
  • The equalizer is not available on high sound quality. However, it is not really needed with these headphones. The opacity of the estimate of the remaining charge. Slightly strange ear pads in diameter. Infrequent audio interruptions on LDAC connection (highest quality)
