For the long detailed answer: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, BEATS IS STILL SHIT.
Not really. Beats sound so much better now then in the past, they work great with other Apple products, they have great design, and they charge really fast. Beats have 40 hours of battery life and you can get 3 hours of battery life after only 5 minutes of charging. Even if you don’t like Beats, you have to admit that is pretty impressive.
I have the Sony 900 and yeah, they're pretty awesome for the price and I've heard they are comparable to the 1000. The noise cancelling works great on planes and when you're trying to tune people out, and as a glasses wearer they're extremely comfortable.
TL:DR yes I'd have to recommend the skull candy crusher wireless, they are cheap(ish), comfortable, sleek, can use 3.5mm through a somewhat propiertery cable and the bass on them is incredible.
To me bose stuff is overpriced with mediocre sound quality. Sony is ok with higher end stuff but for headphones or earbuds I always choose Sennheisers. First thing that came to my mind was why they did not include the PXC 550s.
And that was my decision, I like the touch on the Sony too, got the xm2 but what kills is aptx HD Bluetooth, that can handle nearly lossless music BUUUT remember, you phone MUST support it too! AND your music-source. If you want the best Noise-canceling, go with BOSE, a bit sad that they don't even handle std aptx. For high quality sound and the strongest Bluetooth codec for music on the market right now, go with Sony.
@@DEanimesDE yes you are because you can play higher fidelity music from local or from Tidal, Spotify and Google Music. For those who listen to higher bitrate audio and would like some semblance of that in a Bluetooth headset, the Sony's are superior. Otherwise you can just use a cabled AMP DAC combo with any wired headset, but we're not talking about wired ear sets.
@@iluvj00 All companies do their "hard" work in cheap locations, this is the trend for many years.There are US companies that are cheaper and better than Beats or Microsoft when it comes to headphones and there are much better worldwide alternatives to them.
Cristi Soare I meant that there are parts already developed in China that you just buy in Shenzhen and put together and there you have a headphone. No r&d spent. You can just buy generic headphones already made an you just put your brand on them. It’s a very common practice. Polaroid has these small cameras that just buys of a manufacturer and put it on Polaroid branded boxes. So while Sony and Bose spend millions on r&d Microsoft just put together parts and branded the damn things.
Exactly like me I refuse to leave the 3.5 mm jack that's why I choose the oneplus 6 over the 6t.if the oneplus 7 will not have it(propably not) Samsung/lg here I come
you can actually stretch headphones out by placing them between books etc when not using them, just make sure that the books are actually a bit wider than your head or it wont be effective.
You will have to cut my Shure SE535 out of my stiff, cold, death hand! Fits in to every pocket. Amazing sound. Comfortable up to 8 hours in a airplane. -25dB(A) passive noise cancelling. Has a cable. I bet sound quality shits on all of the reviewed headphones.
I mean it’s good, but for less you get better performance, cleaner, purer Android, updates near instantly, pixel camera software (if you install it), a cool looking phone (if you get mclaren) and a plaque (mclaren only) that has car grade carbon fibre and titanium bolts. Ain’t getting that with a discounted s9.
I used to repair beats for Apple. The studio headphones are 100% jank on the inside. The jank you feel is pre-Apple also. They were always like that, even right as they acquired them.
It has its pros and cons, It leads me to believe that it was less though in which is better than the other "one person more professional review", but having another person also try them and just casually talk about them makes the review feel more natural (you can see their reactions).
yeah he wasn’t paid for the sponsorship but they gave him the headphones for free thinking their headphones were good so they would get a positive review. They didn’t…
Beats are the best, I know, I've reviewed them at The Verrge. in a in depth comparison we compared the Beats to a. A Potato b. 7 GB of RAM c. Ray Tracing Etch a Sketch d. 5 Gallons of Mayo In conclusion, the Beats EASILY sounded the best with the Potato coming in a close 2nd. But the Mayo was the most comfortable to put on your head. Live by the Verrge, Die by the Verrge.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.
I spent a lot of time with both the Bose and Sony headphones trying to choose between them so I'll just go ahead and write my full hot take on them here. They were hard to choose between at first but after a lot of use the Sonys proved to be far superior. Similar: -Sound quality and noise canceling were pretty similar between them. The Sony has a slight edge but I wouldn't make any decisions based on that. -Also similar is comfort. Both are equally comfortable under normal conditions, but excel in different area. The bose clamps a little more and goes all the way around your ears which is good for keeping them on, but the Sonys lay more flat and don't rely as much on the cups for noise canceling. You can hold them surprisingly far off your ears and still get effective noise canceling making them much better for using over long hair or a beanie if you want to exercise with them without ruining them with sweat. -Both headphones are also equally useless with voice assistants. It's probably more Google's fault than anyone but no matter what you do it always somehow forgets that it's already set up and stops what you're listening to lecture you with useless drawn out instructions. Don't buy any of these based on that functionality because it's only good as a demo. Bose victories -The lack of physical buttons are my biggest complaint with the Sony. Imprecise gestures, brushing against something or even poorly placed long hair can cause you to skip tracks when you didn't want to. They apparently know it's a problem because you can turn off the touchpad and just control it with your phone so why didn't they just use physical buttons to begin with? I'm hoping the next generation fixes that. The Bose has them, they work well and they also have a power toggle switch so you don't have to hold it down for 5 seconds and then put them back on to see if it worked. It's a surprisingly big quality of life difference. -The Bose ability to simultaneously connect to two bluetooth devices should go here, but it doesn't really work. If you have it connected to your laptop and your phone (I can't think of any other use for it) and pause one to listen to the other it works if both connections are perfect but if there's a stutter in the connection or a peep of static comes through from the paused device the other connection becomes a stuttering mess. It's not just an occasional problem either, your connection is just always crap when you have two devices connected and it does it automatically so you have to manually disconnect from the other device if you happen to be near two paired devices at once. Sony victories -Included app: I feel obligated to put the app first because the Bose app triggers me so much. You have to turn your GPS on to use it at all, and if you turn it off while it's open it refuses to work. I would have switched to the Sony's even if they were inferior because of this affront but thankfully they aren't. You don't technically have to use the app to use either one on any device but you will constantly run into pairing issues if you try to go without them. It's oftly suspicious that $300 cutting edge bluetooth devices have this much trouble pairing without their data harvesting app, but at least the Sony app is tolerable. -Battery: I don't particularly care that the interface happens to be USB C, but it does allow super fast charging. Not that the Sony's need it, the battery will last for days of heavy use before it needs a quick top up. The Bose battery isn't bad but it feels like a completely different generation of device compared with the Sonys. -Max volume: I've always been very careful with my hearing so I typically only use the bottom quarter of the volume bar when I'm using wired headphones, so it came as a shock to me when I found myself regularly maxing out the volume on the Bose QC35s. I used to sometimes wear earplugs under my QC15's to listen to stuff in very loud environments and they were more than up to the task, but if you find yourself listening to a poorly mastered (too quiet) audiobook in even a somewhat loud environment you likely won't be able to compensate enough to make out what's being said. Beyond that it makes me very skeptical of their long term reliability if they're always running at max volume, one of the sets I got was already starting to have problems. The Sonys suffer from no such shortcoming, they don't get as loud as older wired headphones but they're far louder than I've ever needed. -I'll mention the NFC here but it's just a gimmick. It's only for pairing and you need the app to make it work anyway so it doesn't really save any time. -One other interesting difference that I noticed. If you're using them in a plane, or even just a car in a very hilly area you'll notice that the Sony's do a significantly better job at not making your ears feel full as you change altitudes. I don't know what they're doing differently but it's noticeable. Anyway, that's about everything I have to say about them. The Sony headphones are clearly superior in my opinion, hopefully someone actually reads this and gets some useful information from it lol.
IMHO this format is perfect you see in real time why and it's more authentic rather than the refined scripted ones but the scripted ones still have their place.

Wtf they missed the best part of the Sony interface... You can hold you palm over the right earcup to turn the music down and let ambient noise in. It's great to use of someone is trying to talk to you if you have your headphones on.
Idk i have the sony ones (XM2) and i have never used that in public. It just feels dumb to do that, and i think its also more respectful to just take them off.
@@0M9H4X_Neckbeard the mx does have that feature, it also has the ambient setting which lets you hear people talking to you but it blocks the noise still
Is the bass on sony is overpowered the other sound in song. Like i hate if a earphone or headphone that had bass overpowered the other instrument and the voice of the singer. But no bass at all is also suck. Just a nice bass without overpowered other instrumental sound and singer voice
@@repz9190 the Sony MDR-XB950 headphones have an extreme powerful bass with crystal clear treble and perfect balance of mids in my opinion. if you're looking for earphones, go for MDR-XB75AP.
Yea because they’re not really the same market. You can’t look at Bose which sells headphones for people who wear cargo pants and Sony who names their products after decepticons and say they’re comparable to beats which sells stylish easy to use headphones as a status symbol (which is actually a selling point) and the surface headphones are... there too. Idk what Microsoft is about
James Moores they advertise those features because that’s just the expectation of any headphones out there. Beats is a luxury brand and that’s the whole point. You wouldn’t compare a rolls Royce and a Ferrari and say the Phantom is bad bc it’s slower than the 458 despite being similar prices. You can argue people who buy luxury brands are wasting their money but that’s just a different thing.
You guys forgot to mention you can rest your hand on the right side of the Sony headphone and it will turn on mics so you hear external sound and talk with people without taking it off.
You can do the same with Bose. rest your hand on ANY side of the headphone, lift and slide backward off your ear. Other benefit is that you don't look like you are being rude.
Not just talking, lets say you are walking with your headphones on and you want to hear an announcement on something the sony feature would be much much better
I don't know how the Bose feature works, or even whether or not it has one, but this feature is a killer. Basically the phones temporarily change to ambient noise mode so you can hear the surrounding. I don't suggest to use this when talking to people though. It might be rude to somebody.
Ohh dude I disagree 100%. They're far from okay regardless of the price. Shit noise cancelling, cheap material, cheap button(they sound like "ka-ching" and it's uncomfortable), shit ear pads (and deformed because of how it folds), headband is like non existent, literally no swivel(our ears face slightly forward so it needs the swivel), and now the sound, the most important thing. The bass are more pronounced than the mids and highs, but it isn't necessarily bassy. It's just that the mids and highs don't have clarity. ZERO soundstage. Not even worth comparing to Bose and Sony, that's a disrespect towards them. Some people say they bought beats for the looks, let's be honest. They don't look good. Those cheap plastics and fake leather shows itself. If someone bought beats and they like it, hey good for you, I think that's great, not trying to be harsh. But I'd hate to see a person buy them without proper research and end with a disappointment, so here, this might help someone.
@@Akira-kd6us Hey man, curious as what you think about my recent pruchase. Ive had studio's first generation a couple of years ago and they kinda broke down on me after maybe 3-4 years of use. Screws falling out, plastic craking ... I thought it was normal as I was using them quite extensively and wasnt making the best of maintenance on them. Still sound wise they never stopped working really well. They were also my first pair of expensive headphones at the time. Yesterday I found some studio 3's for 90$. would you think it's worth it or should I have gone for a used pair of sony or bose ? I only saw those over 250$ (CAD)
@@nic514rocker I'd say even at that price point, the studio 3's are not worth the money. Soundpeats A6 is around 90$ CAD range but SMASHES the studio 3 in every aspect except for appearance which is extremely subjective. I won't tell you that you should've went with bose or sonys considering the huge jump in price, but if I were you, I went with the soundpeats. If I'm on a tight budget, the little improvement bose and sony has compared to soundpeats is not worth the price gap. If you came from studio 1's especially the one that came from monster(apple bought beats and sound quality declined imo), you might find the studio 3 lacking in clarity and overall sound quality. But hey, if you liked your purchase, I completely see no problem! We all have different ears and preferences so I respect that, what I said is just my honest opinion. Have a good day!
I remember having a pair of $150 sony headphones and everyone at my school with their iphones and beats would try to cook me saying theirs are more expensive and better and I would just laugh at them. I would let them try mine and they would just jaw drop. Freaking idiots😂
in reality, it depends on the manufacturer and build quality, HyperX Headsets are a great set of gaming headsets while Razer uses pure marketing strategies.
The Beats were EASILY my best purchase! I use the premium box to rest my feet when I sit. (PS. I'm not sure why they included these plastic headwraps?)
Beats headphones are one the most successful marketing scams in tech. How do they get away with selling something so overpriced? Yes, iPhones and iMacs are overpriced too but at least they have unique software that makes them different. Beats headphone quality could probably be matched by some chinese bluetooth headphones on ebay.
Because they are quality. I have the solo 3’s and they have lasted 1 year and still going strong! Bass is good and i make bass boosted music so, you tell me.
@@PulseBoosts I mean the video stated they felt cheap like 3 times. I have never owned any of the above headphones but I do not know a good reason why they would lie about them feeling cheap.
I agree. Beats are trash and the one that I have (which I found on the ground at the park when Pokémon go just came out) and has the ear pads deteriorating. For anyone, using a cheap 20 dollar earphones would work wonders. An investment to an earphone or headset worth more than 90 dollars is a bad investment
Wasn't even slightly surprised that Sony and Bose won this. They are both long term players in the audio game. Microsoft is new and Beats usually has overly aggressive bass. That was the only big surprise, beats having no bass???? Seriously?
@@westonharby165 Yeah, bose are known for having very flat sound. But they are extremely comfortable. I think the Sony sound much better, and are pretty close to bose in comfort.
@@westonharby165 imagine beats with less bass than bose, lol bose always sound boring, they're for older folks who have money, not rly for someone that apreciates music, sonys are much better in that regard, almost bought sony ones when they came out, but they didn't rly fit my usecase
He mentioned in an older video that they would get a lot of comments of people saying they missed the old kitchen set, which was actually Linus' kitchen. So, once the money was right and they finally had their current studio, they built a kitchen set which is not a functional kitchen IIRC.
So glad I bought the bose a few months back. Love the retro style and physical buttons. I honestly am not complaining about micro usb, since it charges quick enough and has a battery that can last you ages. I feel like with motion controls you could slip up on more easily.
Yea, they are awesome, I bough them about a month ago and I really like them, I tryed both the Bose and Sony one, liked both but prefered the sound of the Sony and I also had a weird bug with the Bose. When connecting them with my Razerphone they would just automatically disconnect after 5 minutes. Never had the issue with other bluetooth devices, only the bose QC II
Linus already did a Sennheiser vs Bose video wich crowned the pxc as better on everything but the noice cancelling (since it was created by Bose so realistically no one can beat them there). PXC would beat any of those at 65% of the price at least in sound quality.
@@yuurapik I had 3 Bose headphone which lasted about 6 months each, then got HD1, still use them 2 years later. Even if they cost double, they last way longer, quality!
Beats are crap, the headbands always break and they have such a cheap build. 2 of mine broke already, the hinge just randomly loosens while my sony ones last ages
To be honest I was surprised, I own one of their first pairs for around $300 and I had to refill it with 3 AAA batteries all the time because I always forgot to turn them off (and no they were not wireless, it was just a 'feature', they didn't work without batteries and didn't have an automatic standby mode), they felt cheap with the plastic button that muted. And despite all of that they were really comfortable and packed serious sound quality. that was almost 10 years ago and I figured they would've only improved. Very disappointed and feels like wasted brand status or something.
But honestly though, the best pair of headphones Ive ever owned are Sony's MDR XB500, looked like I had a pair of truck wheels on either side of my head but they were magical, really want a remake of those.
I have Sony and i use it in my car on the way to work and casually at home. Car ride is like 30-40 minutes and casual use like an hour a day. I charge them once every two weeks.
mistaken FUTUREZOID they aren’t studio beats then, big big different, or he doesn’t know how to use it, you have to double click the button on the bottom
Finn Campeau same here! I don’t get why they get so much hate, I tried all three side by side and the beats studio’s seemed like they were the highest quality material and the best looking, they sound fantastic too. The gold and black ones are so badass!
@@jonasbijlsma9943 Wouldn't it make sense to compare the products that are available instead of arbitrarily limiting it based on release date? Headphones aren't like smart phones. They're not on a yearly release cycle.
I bought the sony headphones last month. I wear glasses. I think they are super nice. I wear them on long walks and runs. They stay on and stay comfortable.
I've had my QC 35's for over a year and I wear glasses. They're quite very comfortable with glasses. The only drawback is that when you try to push them on with the headphones already on, they get stuck on the cup behind your ear. Takes a slight adjustment but it's an edge case.
Sennheiser has IMO the better sound over the 4 they show here, cost the least (particularly my wired PXC 480), noise cancellation is a bit behind the Sony (but I think it’s a trade off between cancellation and quality), Sony and Sennheiser PX550 have the best battery life (Sony with ANC is ~30 hr, PXC 550 up to 30 hr, PXC 480 in “active” mode lasts ~50 hours), Sennheiser’s earcups are more plush, deep, and ergonomic, Sennheiser’s earcups also hinge flat and fold compact. I’m grateful to the Sony’s because their noise cancellation saved me from headaches and ringing ears while I was at a very loud (100-102 dB) trade show, but I’ve had the Sennheiser’s longer and I love their sound quality and super battery runtime during long trips. I didn’t know Audio Technica made a noise cancelling travel headset, so I can’t make any comments.
Now I am obsessed with figuring out what specific song is it... EDIT: I GIVE UP! THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF EARLIER MLP SONGS (Like My BBBFF mashed with the opening of Smile) I FEEL BAITED.
Why do people always complain about beats 🎧 they’re great in my opinion I have the og monster beats headphones and they’re such high quality from 2006 stop complaining beats are fine🤷♂️

@@AndheraYoddha I still have the original beats studio and they work just fine. They were owned by someone I knew for probably 4 years before they were in my possession and they are still working to this day.
But yeah, I learned my mistake when I bought my BeatsX, while I liked the magnetic that keeps the 2 buds together, I hated the sound quality. Sounded flat and while the bass wasn't awful, it was below average I think. I soon got the Jaybird X4 wireless earbuds, best thing I've ever bought.
He's not wrong women are actually much more attracted to men that uses anything Apple related. There's a study with the percentages and all, it's fucking unbelievable and stupid.
Sony 1000 users here. Legit has been my best investment. I've never had a headphone last this long even tho one of my friends sat on them. Controls are easy after you get used to it, also they didn't show or maybe they didn't know that if you keep your hand over the side of the headphone so your music quiets down and then headphone starts its own mic listening to the outside. Also very quick charging. I charge them for like 10mins and lasts me a day and over. I've used both bose and sony one, they both are good but as they said, sony is bit more comfort, and bose has a but better noise cancelling. Just comes to personal preference after if you prefer techy sony are to go if you prefer simple and easy bose.

a. A Potato

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

I spent a lot of time with both the Bose and Sony headphones trying to choose between them so I'll just go ahead and write my full hot take on them here. They were hard to choose between at first but after a lot of use the Sonys proved to be far superior.
Similar:
-Sound quality and noise canceling were pretty similar between them. The Sony has a slight edge but I wouldn't make any decisions based on that.
-Also similar is comfort. Both are equally comfortable under normal conditions, but excel in different area. The bose clamps a little more and goes all the way around your ears which is good for keeping them on, but the Sonys lay more flat and don't rely as much on the cups for noise canceling. You can hold them surprisingly far off your ears and still get effective noise canceling making them much better for using over long hair or a beanie if you want to exercise with them without ruining them with sweat.
-Both headphones are also equally useless with voice assistants. It's probably more Google's fault than anyone but no matter what you do it always somehow forgets that it's already set up and stops what you're listening to lecture you with useless drawn out instructions. Don't buy any of these based on that functionality because it's only good as a demo.
Bose victories
-The lack of physical buttons are my biggest complaint with the Sony. Imprecise gestures, brushing against something or even poorly placed long hair can cause you to skip tracks when you didn't want to. They apparently know it's a problem because you can turn off the touchpad and just control it with your phone so why didn't they just use physical buttons to begin with? I'm hoping the next generation fixes that. The Bose has them, they work well and they also have a power toggle switch so you don't have to hold it down for 5 seconds and then put them back on to see if it worked. It's a surprisingly big quality of life difference.
-The Bose ability to simultaneously connect to two bluetooth devices should go here, but it doesn't really work. If you have it connected to your laptop and your phone (I can't think of any other use for it) and pause one to listen to the other it works if both connections are perfect but if there's a stutter in the connection or a peep of static comes through from the paused device the other connection becomes a stuttering mess. It's not just an occasional problem either, your connection is just always crap when you have two devices connected and it does it automatically so you have to manually disconnect from the other device if you happen to be near two paired devices at once.
Sony victories
-Included app: I feel obligated to put the app first because the Bose app triggers me so much. You have to turn your GPS on to use it at all, and if you turn it off while it's open it refuses to work. I would have switched to the Sony's even if they were inferior because of this affront but thankfully they aren't. You don't technically have to use the app to use either one on any device but you will constantly run into pairing issues if you try to go without them. It's oftly suspicious that $300 cutting edge bluetooth devices have this much trouble pairing without their data harvesting app, but at least the Sony app is tolerable.
-Battery: I don't particularly care that the interface happens to be USB C, but it does allow super fast charging. Not that the Sony's need it, the battery will last for days of heavy use before it needs a quick top up. The Bose battery isn't bad but it feels like a completely different generation of device compared with the Sonys.
-Max volume: I've always been very careful with my hearing so I typically only use the bottom quarter of the volume bar when I'm using wired headphones, so it came as a shock to me when I found myself regularly maxing out the volume on the Bose QC35s. I used to sometimes wear earplugs under my QC15's to listen to stuff in very loud environments and they were more than up to the task, but if you find yourself listening to a poorly mastered (too quiet) audiobook in even a somewhat loud environment you likely won't be able to compensate enough to make out what's being said. Beyond that it makes me very skeptical of their long term reliability if they're always running at max volume, one of the sets I got was already starting to have problems. The Sonys suffer from no such shortcoming, they don't get as loud as older wired headphones but they're far louder than I've ever needed.
-I'll mention the NFC here but it's just a gimmick. It's only for pairing and you need the app to make it work anyway so it doesn't really save any time.
-One other interesting difference that I noticed. If you're using them in a plane, or even just a car in a very hilly area you'll notice that the Sony's do a significantly better job at not making your ears feel full as you change altitudes. I don't know what they're doing differently but it's noticeable.
Anyway, that's about everything I have to say about them. The Sony headphones are clearly superior in my opinion, hopefully someone actually reads this and gets some useful information from it lol.
I read it, and it was useful. Thanks!

Beats probably didn’t send you headphones because they knew you were gonna put them against good headphones and lose in every category
Yea because they’re not really the same market. You can’t look at Bose which sells headphones for people who wear cargo pants and Sony who names their products after decepticons and say they’re comparable to beats which sells stylish easy to use headphones as a status symbol (which is actually a selling point) and the surface headphones are... there too. Idk what Microsoft is about
700club if they are not the same market then they wouldn’t be the exact same prices and wouldn’t advertise the same features
James Moores they advertise those features because that’s just the expectation of any headphones out there. Beats is a luxury brand and that’s the whole point. You wouldn’t compare a rolls Royce and a Ferrari and say the Phantom is bad bc it’s slower than the 458 despite being similar prices. You can argue people who buy luxury brands are wasting their money but that’s just a different thing.
700club Bose is a luxury brand, the difference is it’s actually worth the money
James Moores Bose isn’t a luxury brand given their products look like shit and are not advertised or seen as one by anyone
You guys forgot to mention you can rest your hand on the right side of the Sony headphone and it will turn on mics so you hear external sound and talk with people without taking it off.
WHAT?!
You can do the same with Bose. rest your hand on ANY side of the headphone, lift and slide backward off your ear. Other benefit is that you don't look like you are being rude.
i think he understands it perfectly ;)@Kylie Jennertelia
Not just talking, lets say you are walking with your headphones on and you want to hear an announcement on something the sony feature would be much much better
I don't know how the Bose feature works, or even whether or not it has one, but this feature is a killer. Basically the phones temporarily change to ambient noise mode so you can hear the surrounding.
I don't suggest to use this when talking to people though. It might be rude to somebody.
Are Beats headphones bad? I mean not necessarily "bad", they're definitely okay.
Are they bad for the price compared to competitors? Absolutely.
Ohh dude I disagree 100%. They're far from okay regardless of the price. Shit noise cancelling, cheap material, cheap button(they sound like "ka-ching" and it's uncomfortable), shit ear pads (and deformed because of how it folds), headband is like non existent, literally no swivel(our ears face slightly forward so it needs the swivel), and now the sound, the most important thing. The bass are more pronounced than the mids and highs, but it isn't necessarily bassy. It's just that the mids and highs don't have clarity. ZERO soundstage. Not even worth comparing to Bose and Sony, that's a disrespect towards them.
Some people say they bought beats for the looks, let's be honest. They don't look good. Those cheap plastics and fake leather shows itself. If someone bought beats and they like it, hey good for you, I think that's great, not trying to be harsh. But I'd hate to see a person buy them without proper research and end with a disappointment, so here, this might help someone.
@@Akira-kd6us Hey man, curious as what you think about my recent pruchase. Ive had studio's first generation a couple of years ago and they kinda broke down on me after maybe 3-4 years of use. Screws falling out, plastic craking ... I thought it was normal as I was using them quite extensively and wasnt making the best of maintenance on them. Still sound wise they never stopped working really well. They were also my first pair of expensive headphones at the time. Yesterday I found some studio 3's for 90$. would you think it's worth it or should I have gone for a used pair of sony or bose ? I only saw those over 250$ (CAD)
@@nic514rocker I'd say even at that price point, the studio 3's are not worth the money. Soundpeats A6 is around 90$ CAD range but SMASHES the studio 3 in every aspect except for appearance which is extremely subjective. I won't tell you that you should've went with bose or sonys considering the huge jump in price, but if I were you, I went with the soundpeats. If I'm on a tight budget, the little improvement bose and sony has compared to soundpeats is not worth the price gap.
If you came from studio 1's especially the one that came from monster(apple bought beats and sound quality declined imo), you might find the studio 3 lacking in clarity and overall sound quality.
But hey, if you liked your purchase, I completely see no problem! We all have different ears and preferences so I respect that, what I said is just my honest opinion. Have a good day!

@@bruhdude9644 except Apple have actually good to decent products.
@@moesalamander7012 are you saying beats aren’t good because I have a pair and I can confirm they are pretty nice
@@moesalamander7012 and be smart apple is not a good choice like savage Mac said they are a statement not a good choice
Beats are crap, the headbands always break and they have such a cheap build. 2 of mine broke already, the hinge just randomly loosens while my sony ones last ages

Without even starting the video, I know beats won't be anywhere near the top. Their quality sucks.
Yep
To be honest I was surprised, I own one of their first pairs for around $300 and I had to refill it with 3 AAA batteries all the time because I always forgot to turn them off (and no they were not wireless, it was just a 'feature', they didn't work without batteries and didn't have an automatic standby mode), they felt cheap with the plastic button that muted. And despite all of that they were really comfortable and packed serious sound quality. that was almost 10 years ago and I figured they would've only improved. Very disappointed and feels like wasted brand status or something.
But honestly though, the best pair of headphones Ive ever owned are Sony's MDR XB500, looked like I had a pair of truck wheels on either side of my head but they were magical, really want a remake of those.
Last i knew they spend more on packaging than the actual headphones. My friends who have used beats break so easily probably less than a year
No, you are just using them the wrong way ^^
where can I buy that Dennis t-shirt? I need it for... reasons

Fair enough...
It was an LTX exclusive. Not available anywhere else.

A battery life test would have been nice...
Other than that, great ranking!
I have Sony and i use it in my car on the way to work and casually at home. Car ride is like 30-40 minutes and casual use like an hour a day. I charge them once every two weeks.
Exactly, this and a long press on the button, actual recharge time, overall size taken when stored, and multi pairing handling
For battery beats can last 40
Sony last 20
Bose last 22
Microsoft idk
@@vibewithari9930 Not true. Sony lasts 30.
Haven't checked the others, but Bose does less than Sony
Sony kills with battery life (I think it's 30+?) and with the fast charging type c it's a no brainer

mistaken FUTUREZOID they aren’t studio beats then, big big different, or he doesn’t know how to use it, you have to double click the button on the bottom
Jared Champagne i have studio 3’s with noise cancelling and i love them
Finn Campeau same here! I don’t get why they get so much hate, I tried all three side by side and the beats studio’s seemed like they were the highest quality material and the best looking, they sound fantastic too. The gold and black ones are so badass!

No Sennheiser?
No airpods?
Last relevant model came out in 2016, this is a 2018 model round up
@@jonasbijlsma9943 Wouldn't it make sense to compare the products that are available instead of arbitrarily limiting it based on release date? Headphones aren't like smart phones. They're not on a yearly release cycle.
I actually prefer the JBL DUETNC WIRELESS over the QC 35s and they cost a lot less.
Seems they all had to be priced at $350. I suppose there are better (or just as good) for a lot cheaper.
You guys really need to have someone with glasses try on these headphones to see how they REALLY fit.
Tom5tom Entertainment How about Cyclops? Do you think it is fair to exclude those?
the surface ones would be better the beats are small and clamp ridiculously fucking tight
I bought the sony headphones last month. I wear glasses. I think they are super nice. I wear them on long walks and runs. They stay on and stay comfortable.
@@Kcajakon Same here , i wear glasses and have the sony wh1000xm2's for about 2 years now , it never bothers me.
I've had my QC 35's for over a year and I wear glasses. They're quite very comfortable with glasses. The only drawback is that when you try to push them on with the headphones already on, they get stuck on the cup behind your ear. Takes a slight adjustment but it's an edge case.
Why do the beats look like a McDonald's toy
Apple bought beats...

@@TranscendentWolf Gotta get dem views
Wow so no Sennheiser?
Exactly what I was thinking
And no Audio Technica either but then it's not the battle of pop brands anymore.
Because Seinnheiser and Audiotechnica don't need to be reviewed. You already know they're the top dog.
Sennheiser has IMO the better sound over the 4 they show here, cost the least (particularly my wired PXC 480), noise cancellation is a bit behind the Sony (but I think it’s a trade off between cancellation and quality), Sony and Sennheiser PX550 have the best battery life (Sony with ANC is ~30 hr, PXC 550 up to 30 hr, PXC 480 in “active” mode lasts ~50 hours), Sennheiser’s earcups are more plush, deep, and ergonomic, Sennheiser’s earcups also hinge flat and fold compact.
I’m grateful to the Sony’s because their noise cancellation saved me from headaches and ringing ears while I was at a very loud (100-102 dB) trade show, but I’ve had the Sennheiser’s longer and I love their sound quality and super battery runtime during long trips.
I didn’t know Audio Technica made a noise cancelling travel headset, so I can’t make any comments.

Why do people always complain about beats 🎧 they’re great in my opinion I have the og monster beats headphones and they’re such high quality from 2006 stop complaining beats are fine🤷♂️
Eh I mean not for the price they aren’t, but hey I doubt most people will care as I’m pretty sure most buy them Because of looks or as a status symbol
*As someone who services Beats headphones at Best Buy and Target Retailers.. I can absolutely say that Beats Headphones are overpriced Garbage and they easily break. Buy Bose or cheaper Skullcandy.*
I have a pair of studios that I've had for like 5 months, and they work just just and are I'm great condition. I bet the ones you service, the people don't take care of them.
@@ethankeller8315 I've had a sony for 1 and 1/2 years, works like a beast and absolutely amazing noise cancellation. Report back when it's reached at least a year
ive learned my lesson from buying cheaper headphones. the cable always breaks after like 6 months of daily use, tops and there's no easy way to replace it. i've been using senns only for like 3 years now and they all have replaceable cables yet somehow none of them have actually broken yet. its true when they say buy cheap buy twice
My mannnnn Skullcandy are fucking great. For those who don't know, try searching up: "Skullcandy Crusher Wireless Bass Test" you won't regret it
@@AndheraYoddha I still have the original beats studio and they work just fine. They were owned by someone I knew for probably 4 years before they were in my possession and they are still working to this day.
I am glad I never wasted money on Beats...Sennheiser ftw

Hey JaredSVX, Wanna go bowling?
@@romanbellic5241 Roman, I should've never read your fucking emails and stayed away!
But yeah, I learned my mistake when I bought my BeatsX, while I liked the magnetic that keeps the 2 buds together, I hated the sound quality.
Sounded flat and while the bass wasn't awful, it was below average I think.
I soon got the Jaybird X4 wireless earbuds, best thing I've ever bought.
I buy em used off ebay; if they work. Litterally found my first pair for free; Beats by Drdre are what got me into finer quatlity headphones

He's projecting so hard
@@yannickjulien154 I don’t think that study is accurate
Sony 1000 users here. Legit has been my best investment. I've never had a headphone last this long even tho one of my friends sat on them. Controls are easy after you get used to it, also they didn't show or maybe they didn't know that if you keep your hand over the side of the headphone so your music quiets down and then headphone starts its own mic listening to the outside. Also very quick charging. I charge them for like 10mins and lasts me a day and over. I've used both bose and sony one, they both are good but as they said, sony is bit more comfort, and bose has a but better noise cancelling. Just comes to personal preference after if you prefer techy sony are to go if you prefer simple and easy bose.
