Time stamp helps a lot. Thanks for the extra effort. I subbed to your channel

Thanks - glad you liked it :)

I feel like audio reviews are kind of redundant, and pointless. Everyone’s opinion is going to be different. We all hear different, we all have different sized ears, and head. So, with that being said, it’s easier for us to just go and try them at the store if possible.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

That's not possible for a lot of people - and having reviewed over 500 audio related devices for the past 10 years, I'd be inclined to decline with that comment - some won't have the experience of ability to access the sound, and that's where reviews help people make their own informed decision :)

[@stefanbanovic]

@totallydubbedHD Tnx for the review. Do you like this better than Beyerdynamic Amiron wireless in terms of sound? Which one would you prefer and which one has better sound wireless, wired? Thank you

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Not tried the Beyers, so can't comment.

[@VWatchie]

So... B&W PX7 for me!!!

[@BeastMortThe]

Great video... thank you for all the details. Shame ya can't actually find these for $350 anymore on Amazon in the U.S.... they are $400. (insert massive sad face here)

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Darn! Glad you liked the video :)

Hey i'm Chris from germany. Today i bought the bose 700 for my wife and the px7 for me. The bose are very very comfortable, the px7 are so tight on my big head. It hurts. But for me, the Sound on the px7 is much better. Nice warm sound but a little bit to quietly. The bose are much louder but no Bass -.- for my hybrid trap music a dealbreaker. Next i try the Momentum 3 and i hope there are louder than the px7. Very nice Review. Greetings from germany

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Glad you liked the review, I think you'll find the Sennheiser the perfect match for you, but don't expect good ANC!

[@chrisdergrinch4875]

@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for your answer :) the anc is not so important for me. Once a week i take the train for 2 hours. It's okay for me. Mostly i hear music at home. My wife take the subway two times a day. There is anc more important.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@chrisdergrinch4875 fair enough, then you'll be fine :)

[@justina9914]

@@chrisdergrinch4875 aha, leaving the nice sound to yourself

[@LilKrayz24]

You really need to break the headphones in a bit to hear the potential of these headphones.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

well, I burn-in all my audio equipment for at least 30hrs. PS. that's in 300+ reviews.

[@avinashaiims2007]

please review sennheiser MTW 2 and comparison with sennheiser MTW 1

[@TotallydubbedHD]

I've requested it...but Sennheiser hasn't sent it to me

[@neobliviscarisa650]

How do you compare the PX5 to the Dali i04 and Beyerdynamic lagoons?I listen to music like Tall and porcupine tree. Thanks

[@TotallydubbedHD]

No idea!

[@benluu8323]

have you burnt them in yet? I think they sound much better once used for 50+ hours

[@TotallydubbedHD]

They had plenty of burn in, yes

[@mohamedahmed1023]

The assertion that it's a given that noise cancelling is the primary reason folks buy these headphones is incorrect. This person might not be familiar with segmentation.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Sure lol.

[@stephenknight6562]

There was software update Sennheiser momentum 3 and the noise cancelling is equal now to Sony And maybe slightly better now

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[@beermathuang3874]

We have the same thought process good sir. In terms of buying a noise cancelling headphone. Great video!

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Thanks buddy!

[@ianbrown704]

Many thanks for this great review. I am thinking of buying these headphones, however can you advise if its possible to change the codec in my Samsung s10 Plus? When I change these the phone doesn't seem to retain the new information, ie APTX and sample rate etc. Any help appreciated. Many Thanks

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Glad you liked it. Technically you can hard-set the codec via the developer options, but given this (and your S10+) have aptX support, you won't have to change the codec, rather, it'll default to the highest quality available. What do you mean it doesn't retain it though?

[@ianbrown704]

@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for your advise. When I go into developer settings and change bluetooth from SBC to aptX and then back out, when I go back into check it I notice its reverted back to SBC.Just cant get it to store the changes!If it helps I am running Andriod 10. Many Thanks. Also I am torn between the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 3's (£299 on amazon UK) and the B&W PX7? I mainly listen to vocal and classical and like a bright sound (I have always turned the treble up on most amps etc for years) not prob the best way to obtain the best sound! I am not too bothered about ANC as I will mainly be connecting by wire as I am using a ifi hip-dec. Many thanks

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@ianbrown704 if you're not bothered about ANC, get the Momentum 3; they're superior in sound, in my opinion. As for the codec, which device do you have connected to your S10+ that it is doing that type of behaviour? If nothing is connected, the default will be SBC; if there's something connected that can't support aptX, it will also default to AAC or SBC.

[@ianbrown704]

@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks, wont take up any more of your time. But finally, I don't have anything connected to the S10 I loaned some Sony wh1000xm3's from my brother. I am new to all this, do I need to have a wireless headphones connected before I can change the bluetooth settings (Bits/Codec)? Cheers I will buy the M3's via your link.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@ianbrown704 indeed, you need to have something connected, or else it will revert back to SBC - it's normal. I suggest leaving it on Auto, then next time you connect headphones, check that option in dev, and you'll see it go to the right codec. In the case of the XM3, it'll go to LDAC (better than any of the other Bluetooth codecs) - hope that helps ? :)

[@kellhound1]

Your description of the PX7 sound is contrary to other reviews. It would have been helpful if you told us what songs you played, at what volume, and from which sources. All of this is critical to understanding why you say the headphones have an emphasized treble and veiled mids.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

Fortunately I don't have ulterior motives and have a large bank of experience in reviewing headphones/earphones ^^

[@markpleaner9283]

are these worth GBp100 more than Jabra Elite 85h?

[@TotallydubbedHD]

For sound quality, yes. But otherwise, no.

[@markpleaner9283]

@@TotallydubbedHD and the Nuraphones? I can pick up the Nuraphones for less than the PX7s.

[@TotallydubbedHD]

@@markpleaner9283 I'd definitely pick up the Nura in that case, but ONLY if you can get over the fact that you have both in-ear and over-ear headphones (takes some getting used to, and some find it uncomfortable)
