yep, SOLID POINT. 🤣I got beats X and the flex, really just enjoy how they look for the most part. Have to say, beats flex is really convenient tho, with its auto pause function.
Holy shit, I’ve been looking for any video about the Sony’s wh-1000xm4s made by You and was never able to find any. This time I click on random video, that I’ve yet to watch and boom, there they are.
I actually have an old pair of Beats headphones, one of the first ones, that my dad bought with a massive discount while on a trip. Basically, I preferred my Sony mdr-zx110 (no noise reduction or bluetooth, just a wire) because they felt more comfortable. I remember saying to my dad that after wearing the Beats for about 5 minutes my ears were screaming.
My first pair of bluetooth headphones were the beats and I enjoyed them. However due to the build quality they only lasted a couple of years before the hinge snapped.
I was going to mention these but you beat me to it. I've had to LP, LP2, Crossfade wireless and M-100. I love these headphones and I'm saving up for the M-200s.
Check out Sony Pulse 3d. I am surprised how well these sound. I've not even tested them wired, the wireless sounds so good. The dongle works on windows no problems. Not sure about mac. The pads are perfectly angled and do not press hard at all. Feels almost like open headphones. No memory foam or anything but somehow comfortable and breathable
I had these as a daiily driver throughout high school. The earpads lost all the texture and was bare weave after 2 years and the head plastic "band" tore in the middle. They were bassy but for the price it just for the branding. Mind you they were carried in hardcase whenver unnused.
Maaaaan, I just cracked laughing out loud in the build quality part of the beats... In the middle of a full train. Yeah, your fault, even if its a year old video.
The Aux is kind of bad because newer pairs won't let you use it unless it's charged. I was actually using beats for a long time but when that started happening I moved on to some AKGs and haven't looked back since
I remember spending my first paycheck on beats back in high school. My dad asked me how much I paid and when I told him he wanted to try them. He then proceeded to make me listen to these old ass headphones he's had for 20 years and they murdered the beats. I wanted to return the damn things after that

I’ve always disliked bass enhancement headphones, even though bass is my favorite flavor. Mostly cause they’re marketed towards people who don’t understand sound stage, over priced and garbage build quality. Basically, beats lol.
@Gabriel Gledhill there are some headphones made to have rattle sound keeping every detail, the drawbacks is a pleasing and very dynamic sound with great stage, but it's nothing flat. Believe me i had a pair that had that coloured sound when you can hear every little detail, but when Mixing it's trash, completely... You end up not boosting the bass but enhancing wrong frequencies.
@Gabriel Gledhill Eq adds distortion and you are making the driver do more work, i wouldnt exactly call the hd600 the best thing ever, even with eq. Eq cant fix everything guys.
You don't even have to use headphones to be an audiophile a good pair of earphones works great too like mine that came with my phone an AKG usually AKG makes very good open back headphones because they ARE the pioneers of openback headphones and let me just say the earphone works as if you're using a headphone
One day you'll have the money and maybe you'll spend it on a pair of headphones you love. At least you'll know better than buying the Chinese slave factory garbage.
I have those OG Beats Studio, they were really nice, really great, when I got them they were $199. However, Grado are better, and monitor ones are much better...and my ear cups began to peel as well...
*Insert obligatory "But Proto..." line here* Yeah, back when Monster owned the brand, they were better. Especially the Studios (even though they still are focused on bass). Sadly by the end of the Monster era and in the current Apple era they have become a joke in the audiophile community and music lovers alike. What I find funny is that my Galaxy Buds sound better than my old Beats Solos. They lasted me quite a while before I sold them on eBay. I liked using them but i sweat a lot during high school and I sweat VERY easily and the plastic rubber glued on head band that sits on my hair comes off easily and kept doing RMAs on them. I honestly should have asked for Sony's but because Beats were super popular in the 2000's and early 2010's that I kept asking for them for Christmas. I know better nowadays and know that next time I buy nice headphones. I'll definitely find those old AKGs or even Grados. (Seeing how I have the Galaxy Buds G1 and Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless for Gaming, i might not throw money on headphones anytime soon.)
These guys ruined my early days into audiophile stuff. I wanted to get serious about headphones and when Beats first launched back then, I completely bought into the hype as a kid. Absolutely hounded my mother into buying them. Maybe these are a bit better than the first gen ones, but they were a complete disappointment for the money and I swore off any expensive headphones ever since. Dank is actually the person to get me back into spending more than 10$ for some headphones. Also the design and even crack of the hinges sounds identical to mine from 2013- I seriously dont think they've updated them at all.
Beats were better when they were still partnered with Monster. Monster supplied the speakers for the Beats. After Beats By Dre ended their partnership with Monster in 2012, it just went downhill from there.
Exactly. Their brand representation was really good. Fooled me when I was a kid too. No matter how hard I tried to believe that it's worth the price it just doesn't. Hell even some knockoff appears to be better sometimes because of the value u can get for low price

At the very least, some people really do enjoy the look of certain gems, but if that look can be recreated by synthetic means than it shouldn't matter.

People wearing jewelry if it can be a recreated look with fake is really really dumb as well as a bad investment. Designer electronics even more so.
Can we just appreciate this dude he has three music degrees he teaches children about music and he comes on here and yells at us about how awesome iPods are😂
Yes, because iPods are awesome and good sounding (most of them), well designed, easy to use and a blessing more than ever in the age of always-online tech. There will always be people who despise mass market stuff and invest large sums into more exclusive devices that are "better" (like me with my audio setup, oops), but per se I don't think there's anything wrong with iPods.
pretty sure he talks about teaching in the past tense. He prob makes more on TH-cam then he would teaching public school especially if Australia pays their teachers as bad as most of the USA does
@@mistressofbats And not all ears are pointing up. Thank god the WH-1000XM3s are pointed a bit backwards, since my ears point back a bit like those of an elf
Honestly something I appreciate from the perspective of a new viewer. Lord knows how many times I watched a video from someone who I've never watched before and they start the video with "So as you remember from my last video.." or something along the lines that and I'm just like *no, I've never even heard of you before, please just get to the thing* Every video you make is someone's first video, and presentation trumps all, and Dank holds both those aces
I've been using a Sony DR-BTN200 [another catchy moniker] since the early 2010s. No noise cancelling, and the battery still gives me most of the 30 hours play time it started with. Fit is great, build quality is top-notch, and the sound is better than what the price suggested.
Raycon and beats marketing team : let's make a catchy and trendy product name so more people will buy our product Sony marketing team: *Smashes keyboard* Yeah that'll do
Sony could absolutely kill it if they actually marketed their headphones effectively. They look nice and trendy and are within the same price range as the mediocre beats.
you could have known you are going to waste your money before you bought those. its beast. beats sucks ass. Bluetooth audio sucks ass. you literally screwed yourself over. for half the money you could have actual studio headphones. people can be so ignorant is unbelievable.
After seeing this I went and bought the Sonys, and I love them. I had to EQ them to get better top end, but I love how they sound. My home office faces a busy road, and with these on I barely notice it. And the case is awesome too!
Same here. Got them for christmas about a year ago. I had beats, but the earpads were falling apart and I wanted to get these. Great headphones for the price, just need a bit of tweaking on the eq.
There's something gratifying about hearing praise for a product in the same line as one you own... like you accidentally made a good choice that is quantified by someone who knows the math instead of just bein like "it sounds good".
LOL. I got the studio 3s. I still love em and they have worked perfect for over two years after using them 10 hours plus ever single night. I like those Sony's a lot though and will probably be what I get next.
@@20TonChop I wish my Studio 3 experience was as good as yours. They snapped just after the warranty ended. (so barely over a year of use) They weren't dropped or anything and I barely traveled with them, but one time when I tried to fold them the hinge just broke. They've been broken for a while now but I think I'm going to try to glue them back together.
Wow, felt weird seeing the headphones I was using to listen to this pop up. My only complaint with the WH-1000X model i've got is that the touch controls can't be turned off and they sometimes get activated by random things or even the cold, and that makes them *CALL* people in my contacts... Yeah, not fun! It hasn't lead to anything all that bad though, and since these have basically single-handedly saved my peace of mind every day for a couple of years (I have misophonia) I can't imagine getting any other ones. It's noise cancelling all the way, baby.
The touch panel can be turned off in the app. I do understand if you haven't noticed it, however; it's buried deep into the fourth slide menu where you change languages.
I have turned the touch controls off. I am pretty annoyed with not having any controls on them, but they were so bad... Every time I adjusted them they paused the music.
@@YoureUsingWordsIncorrectly hm sadly yes i have. i get it though, i love my ipad and iphone and airpods but more out of a convenience standpoint than them being an apple product. would i trade in my 770 pros with dekoni earpads for beats? nah would i buy a mac? hell nah
From my experience it is a Japanese thing. The guitar brand "Ibanez" is a really good example for that. The naming system makes sense if you are familiar with the brand.
Bruh, I use those $20 Sony headphones and they're easily the best budget headphones ever. Nah man, these things sound like $10 Onn branded Walmart garbage.
Beats are quite simply a scam. They spend hundreds of times on advertising what they spend in their products. A 50 dollar value set of headphones sold for 500. A scam. Not surprised, since it's Apple (seriously, those guys charge three or four times what their phones cost to produce).
Apples phone are actually expensive af to make because they insist on using cutting edge technology for everything when there is no reason to. Shit like using parts that cost ten times as much as what most companies would use because they allow the phone to be a tenth of a millimeter thinner without making the case thinner. And using the worlds fastest and most power efficient mobile chips, but locking down the OS so you can't use the speed, and using tiny batteries so you don't even gain battery life from the advanced technology. They are the main driving force behind most of the advancements in semiconductor design because they insist on having the worlds best technology no matter the cost, and regardless of if it actually allows them to make a better product. The new Macbooks are the only products they have ever made that actually benefit from this technology. Other than the original iPod, I guess.
I've got these headphones and I agree, they sound super bassoverkill *out of the box,* however! After much playing around I've found that setting the in app EQ to [0~ 1+ 7+ 7+ 9+] does wonders! Thing that really messed me up trying to make them sound more full and bright was I kept lowering the EQ but that just made it worse. I also like setting clearbass to 3+ (sooometimes 10+ with electric music) but that's just me. ALSO if you have Dolby Atmos I highly highly recommend setting it to either Movie or Voice, either of those modes really take this to the next level and substantially improve any remaining muddiness left over after EQ.
Depends. Typically popping in knuckles and most muscles in joints is caused by the popping of air bubbles in the joints that build up after a short period of time. But there can be other natural causes. For example my wrists and shoulders will make cracking noise every single time I twist them a certain way because they developed in an odd way where the bones will clack together. So there are natural explanations for popping.
Keep in mind the Sony xm4s have a entire EQ system in their app so you can change bass, high end, just every bit of sound. God I love these headphones. No joke worn them everyday all day since the day they came out. No major wear, no problems, no connection problems. For the call for the perfect headphones these are it for me.
I owned a set of Beats Wireless and they were my daily driver for a couple of years, you're right, they're perfectly mediocre. Once I switched to a decent pair of studio headphones I was blown away by how much better they sounded. Also they cost me less than half what the Beats did.
Except Razer Krakens are literally their budget headset. That's like saying "craig" and "nugget" shouldn't be in the same sentence Edit: my phone thinks RAZR and razer are the same
Sony needs to promote their audio engineers, give their marketing department more money, and fire whoever names their products.

1000x = model number
M4 = Mark 4 (like iron man suits) = device version.

Yes, because iPods are awesome and good sounding (most of them), well designed, easy to use and a blessing more than ever in the age of always-online tech. There will always be people who despise mass market stuff and invest large sums into more exclusive devices that are "better" (like me with my audio setup, oops), but per se I don't think there's anything wrong with iPods.

If it gets annoying you can always press right arrow twice so that's nice.
Honestly something I appreciate from the perspective of a new viewer.

I've been using a Sony DR-BTN200 [another catchy moniker] since the early 2010s. No noise cancelling, and the battery still gives me most of the 30 hours play time it started with. Fit is great, build quality is top-notch, and the sound is better than what the price suggested.

After seeing this I went and bought the Sonys, and I love them. I had to EQ them to get better top end, but I love how they sound. My home office faces a busy road, and with these on I barely notice it. And the case is awesome too!
Same here. Got them for christmas about a year ago. I had beats, but the earpads were falling apart and I wanted to get these. Great headphones for the price, just need a bit of tweaking on the eq.
There's something gratifying about hearing praise for a product in the same line as one you own... like you accidentally made a good choice that is quantified by someone who knows the math instead of just bein like "it sounds good".

@@20TonChop I wish my Studio 3 experience was as good as yours. They snapped just after the warranty ended.

Sony has a naming scheme to rival how astronomers name asteroids.

@@hunzhurte yeah your not wrong.
Wow, felt weird seeing the headphones I was using to listen to this pop up. My only complaint with the WH-1000X model i've got is that the touch controls can't be turned off and they sometimes get activated by random things or even the cold, and that makes them *CALL* people in my contacts... Yeah, not fun! It hasn't lead to anything all that bad though, and since these have basically single-handedly saved my peace of mind every day for a couple of years (I have misophonia) I can't imagine getting any other ones. It's noise cancelling all the way, baby.
The touch panel can be turned off in the app. I do understand if you haven't noticed it, however; it's buried deep into the fourth slide menu where you change languages.
You can turn the touch controls off in the Sony headphones app
I have turned the touch controls off. I am pretty annoyed with not having any controls on them, but they were so bad... Every time I adjusted them they paused the music.
Open the app, go to system, and hir the gear on assign touch sensor function
you should be able tortnrn it off from there

The transition from a Beats review to a Sony XM4 review is smooth af
Sony pulled out the ol' PlayStation Grey and said "Why mess with perfection?"
Sony is actually popping off with the WH-1000XM4s and the Playstation 5.
As a bass player who sees how underappreciated this instrument is, I smiled at 15:45. Wise words
I love how this started out as a Beats review but it mostly talks about the Sony headphones lol
Just like the Samsung Beans™ and Raycons©
That's how most of his videos go.

From my experience it is a Japanese thing. The guitar brand "Ibanez" is a really good example for that. The naming system makes sense if you are familiar with the brand.
Btw, the sony’s are a traveller’s headphones, so the mesh pouch/pocket is for passport and boarding pass when you are boarding and stuff.

The hinge click sounded like 20 dollar Sony headphones that suck
It reminded me of metal snappy things for tying back hair you used to be able to get out of vending machines in the late nineties and 2000s.
as someone using $5 sonys (temporarily since my earphones broke) can confirm
Ah yes opposed to those 20 dollar Sony headphones that don't suck
I cringed when he opened them up. At that price that's unacceptable.
Bruh, I use those $20 Sony headphones and they're easily the best budget headphones ever. Nah man, these things sound like $10 Onn branded Walmart garbage.
Beats are quite simply a scam.
They spend hundreds of times on advertising what they spend in their products.
A 50 dollar value set of headphones sold for 500. A scam.
Not surprised, since it's Apple (seriously, those guys charge three or four times what their phones cost to produce).
Apples phone are actually expensive af to make because they insist on using cutting edge technology for everything when there is no reason to. Shit like using parts that cost ten times as much as what most companies would use because they allow the phone to be a tenth of a millimeter thinner without making the case thinner. And using the worlds fastest and most power efficient mobile chips, but locking down the OS so you can't use the speed, and using tiny batteries so you don't even gain battery life from the advanced technology.
They are the main driving force behind most of the advancements in semiconductor design because they insist on having the worlds best technology no matter the cost, and regardless of if it actually allows them to make a better product. The new Macbooks are the only products they have ever made that actually benefit from this technology. Other than the original iPod, I guess.

Fun fact: the bass on the wh1000xm4 sounds way less overpowering when you turn the noise cancelling off
You can download the app, turn off the dumb bass enhance, and delete the app if you still want the noise cancelling
I've got these headphones and I agree, they sound super bassoverkill *out of the box,* however! After much playing around I've found that setting the in app EQ to [0~ 1+ 7+ 7+ 9+] does wonders!
Thing that really messed me up trying to make them sound more full and bright was I kept lowering the EQ but that just made it worse. I also like setting clearbass to 3+ (sooometimes 10+ with electric music) but that's just me.
ALSO if you have Dolby Atmos I highly highly recommend setting it to either Movie or Voice, either of those modes really take this to the next level and substantially improve any remaining muddiness left over after EQ.

Actually, my Solo 2 Wireless headphones (sadly broke, wire inside broke!) have a AUX port along with BT for when they’re dead.
My ankles and knees make those really loud pops all the time, and that's my exact reaction: "Should I be satisfied, or should I be worried?"
Most likely worried i mean I can pop my ankles by moving them and pop my knuckles by closing my hands so
Depends. Typically popping in knuckles and most muscles in joints is caused by the popping of air bubbles in the joints that build up after a short period of time. But there can be other natural causes. For example my wrists and shoulders will make cracking noise every single time I twist them a certain way because they developed in an odd way where the bones will clack together. So there are natural explanations for popping.
I sound like bubble wrap everytime I move my ankles or wrist
Same
Keep in mind the Sony xm4s have a entire EQ system in their app so you can change bass, high end, just every bit of sound. God I love these headphones. No joke worn them everyday all day since the day they came out. No major wear, no problems, no connection problems. For the call for the perfect headphones these are it for me.
