Review on π Wireless Bluetooth Over-the-Ear Headset - Sony WHXB900N Noise Cancelling Headphones in Blue (Amazon Exclusive) by Firash Hakimi
Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.
Noise reduction only cuts off low frequencies, but high frequencies are muffled by music at a volume level of 40%. Someone will not be satisfied, but everything is ok with the noise reduction. There is an adaptive mode that scans the surrounding sound. However, why are these levels needed - xs, I almost always have it at the maximum, so that no random harsh sound is distracting. Maybe to save battery, but it''s always enough. Occasionally it slows down due to a change in the volume of the environment, switching the level back and forth once, you notice it. In "transparent" mode, with the cup closed, the microphone records sounds from outside and plays (ideally, without delay) into your headphones, noise reduction is turned off. But the microphone does not have an infinite range, in the distance speech turns into a mess. This technology is not magic and you should not expect it from it. In the vast majority of cases (80-90%?), you will have enough range. /total/ Every technology in a vacuum is great, but there are clear limitations in use. Bluetooth cuts the channel, noise reduction does not work perfectly for someone, half of the functions from the mobile application do not work as they should (3D sound is a toy at a time), the case creaks. The sound quality will cover the requirements of the majority of the audience, you are unlikely to be disappointed. /Grade/ For 7-10 thousand, these are ideal ears for 5 stars, for 15 - I have a higher requirement. If they work over the next two years, and the ear pads do not become unusable (in 2 years you will not find them on sale), then 4 stars. If they donβt live even two years, the score is 2 out of 5. The previous headphones lived three times cheaper in worse conditions for two or three years. /Whether to buy/ What do you expect from this product. If the described restrictions are not essential for you, you will be happy with this purchase. If hooked, the sediment on the soul will remain throughout the entire use.
- This is perhaps the most controversial purchase. I plan to write the most complete review of those presented here. Rather, write what you may not expect in order to avoid unpleasantness. After using it for ~ half a year, I think there is something to be said about this product. I appreciate every penny invested in the purchase of this product, so the review will not brighten up any of the revealed corners. I was counting on a fairly premium quality product for this amount - it is much higher than the market average. I bought for 15 thousand, in the spring of 2022. I moved from the same ExtraBass series, but in a much more budget segment and after two years of use - MDR-XB950 (wired). 1. Noise reduction. 2. Application for a mobile phone. 3. Touch control - killer feature. This, as it turned out in the process of using it, was not enough for me. Especially temporary muting of music - cover one cup with your hand and the headphones will become "transparent". 4. Volume. 5. The ability to work without a battery + the ability to transmit a signal over a wire, however, you will say a big thank you to the engineers for this if unforeseen circumstances happen. 6. Really long battery life. 7. Design and ergonomics. These are perhaps the most beautiful full-size headphones. They don''t look too homey or too sporty. 8. The sound quality in songs with instrumentals is a real pleasure.
- 1. Bass. When I bought the previous model, I realized that this is the level of bass that I want to see in my headphones and I will no longer turn off the Sony path. It seems that we are all here for the bass and have gathered, so any reasoning is based on the standard of the previous headphones. Now in detail (Oh, this is a story with a thousand conditions). 1.1. Via bluetooth, aptx codec. With the maximum bass setting turned up in the app''s equalizer, I got the level that sounds nice to me, the level for everyday life may be a little higher, but about 20% is still missing - I want to be able to get the whole range of emotions for this money, albeit the rest frequencies will be swamped. Additional adjustment in a different equalizer will not help - the bass remains at the same level, other frequencies just become quieter. This is a real disappointment. The second disappointment, and the MOST important one, is that the bass power level does not increase beyond 80% volume. It remains at the same level, and the highs begin to tear the ears with loudness. 1.2 Through the wire. The situation is completely opposite. You have full control over your headphones, there are no conventions, even I was able to cover all my desires in bass. Why is that? Almost completely confident in the bandwidth of the communication channel. Bluetooth is far from an ideal medium for sound. LDAC did not try, because. it does not lend itself to the equalizer at all, which is a terrible minus for me. 2. Design. Maybe I''m paranoid, but this product does not inspire confidence. Fasteners have recently started to creak. This is a disgusting experience for an audio product. He moved his ear - creeeeeep. And itβs also scary for a breakdown of 15 thousand. 3. Microphone. On my copy it is very quiet. 3.1. Windows system, Bluetooth. You will not have any other sounds during the call (Neither system nor games). This cannot be fixed. 3.2. Linux system (Debian/Ubuntu), Bluetooth. Quality transmission from the microphone and playback of sounds are not possible. This /maybe/ will be fixed later (kernel ate).
