Pros
- + Normal sound for 5500 + Good sound insulation + Can listen with a wire + Nice looking (subjective) + They sit well, do not slip off.
Cons
- - Sony did not add these headphones to their software. And I would like to adjust the sound. - The plastic is still not very good and I would venture to suggest that in a couple of months it will crack somewhere, no matter how carefully you treat it. - If the ear pads were thicker, the ears would not be in contact so much with the fabric, behind which is clearly a speaker. Because of this, the ears are not very comfortable after a while, they have to be corrected. - Leatherette ear cushions, which will definitely come off after a while. Exactly the same was on my previous Sony WH-XB700, I know what I'm talking about. - Bad microphone.
Pros
- The best thing about these headphones is the fit and comfort when worn, they are not felt from the word AT ALL (at first it seemed to be hot, but after a day everything was gone), the materials are at the highest level, in life the ears look 100 times better than in the photo The sound, at first, seemed quiet, but then again, everything fell into place with time. In the subway, I listen at a slightly above average volume level. Shumodav for this price tag is a bomb. Reduce 70% of the noise, in the subway, of course, the rail will not remove the knock, but the announcement of stops, the rumble, conversations, sounds all go into minus. Management is super, much more convenient than the sensor, I got used to it right away Connection is lightning fast They have been charging for 3 days already, I use my ears for 5 hours a day.
Cons
- Of course, there are also disadvantages, I would like the presence of a sensor so that the music turns off when the headphones are removed from the head, fast charging and a slightly more interesting design, and so that the darling can be folded, but you still need to pay extra for this and take a fatter model.
Pros
- 1. comfortable, you can walk for a long time; 2. there is noise reduction; 3. bluetooth 5 version; 4. AAC and SBC codecs; 5. a good scene in terms of sound (but see the shortcomings); 6. type-c connector; 7. resistance 72 ohm. technically sound good, but quieter than lower impedance models; 8. can be used as wired even if discharged, there is a 3.5 mm plug, the wire is included.
Cons
- 1. quiet, only 94 dB. lovers of loud sound watch models from 100 dB and preferably 110-120 2. high price, especially since the winter of 2022, they have risen in price by 3-4 thousand. 3. the plastic on the headband breaks after 3-5 months 4. the speaker grille sticks out inside, fitting is required, it can interfere; 5. no codecs aptx and aptx-hd, LDAC; 6. small speaker - only 30 mm (in new models they made even less - 25 mm); 7. lovers of high frequencies pass by, they are not. the averages are not bad, the bass is voluminous but lacks density and accuracy, there is also some boom in the sound, maybe not everyone will like it, ideally listen before buying; 8. no cover and plug for charging who cares, only a short cord; 9. there are no replaceable ear pads, for this price you can put 2 to choose from - leatherette or velor for example. ears can sweat in leatherette.
Pros
- sound. noise reduction, build quality and materials. Quietly holds 35 hours as stated with constant noise reduction.
Cons
- may not be comfortable for large ears
Pros
- 1. Sound quality. It is important to set the equalizer correctly, I am attaching a photo of the curve. Then instead of a muffled sound (typical, by the way, for SONY), a sound with high, middle and soft bass will appear. It's not the XB series (pictured are inexpensive overhead MDR XB-250s with more pronounced bass), but the bass is good. The volume is sufficient for any connection method. 2. Noise reduction. When you put on headphones, you continue to hear the world around you, only as if in the distance and not so voluminously. When you turn on the music at medium volume, you no longer hear anything but music. But you understand what kind of noise is actually around at the moment when you take off the headphones. One evening I was surprised by a vibrating computer desk - it turned out that music was playing loudly through a system with a subwoofer that I could not hear. And although the low-frequency range is mainly suppressed (you can hear children's tantrums), the system's operation is noticeable and can save the owner's nerves in a noisy environment. It successfully protects me from muttering in children's cartoons and TV chatter (provided that there is a signal in the headphones - music or the sounds of a computer game). And yet - the usual passive noise isolation of full-size headphones does not give such an effect, there is a difference. 3. Noise suppression works even with a wired connection, checked. Provided that the headphones are turned on. 4. The difference in the sound quality of songs over the wire and via bluetooth on Iphone (AAC codec) is not felt. The Iphone does not have a more advanced codec, and the headphones were bought as a pair. Sounds good, without "tightness". 5. They are charged through a modern USB C connector. And most importantly - rarely. 6. Push-button control without any touch panels. 7. Recognizable and pleasant SONY design, lightweight and compact. 8. You can talk through a headset, the audibility is good, at least at home.
Cons
- 1. They cracked. Most of the time they lay in the closet, but they cracked! Acquired on June 2nd, found a crack on the 18th. Yes, in the very place that everyone writes about in the reviews (pictured). I thought that people were unlucky with the batch, there was bad plastic or even a fake. Now I understand that it looks more like a design defect. I am one of those for whom the slogan from childhood - It s a SONY - is a guarantee of maximum quality. Alas, the crack is the only reason why I lower the rating of the headphones. 2. Headphones are not without the features of most full-size models (those with leather ear cushions) - the ears sweat. However, you quickly get used to it and stop noticing it.
Pros
- Various connection options (Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.5 mm analog input), active noise cancellation (ANC) and "transparency" mode (ambient sound), lightness, comfortable wearing, long battery life.
Cons
- Of the quibbles - there is no cover in the kit, rough plastic (it looks smoother on promotional photos), well, slow switching of NC / AMB / OFF modes with the obligatory pronunciation of the switched mode: "Noise cancelling", "Ambient sound" and "Ambient sound control off" ". Lack of support for "Headphones Connect" app. Maybe it will appear later, but, apparently, this is still "not a bug, but a feature."
