Sony MDR-1000X Review: Your Personal Sound Booth

The Sony MDR-1000X won't win any fashion awards; it's a bulky and very plain-looking headset, its cans studded with buttons. But what it lacks in style it makes up for in performance: I've used the Bose QC35, Sennheiser PXC-550 and countless other noise canceling headsets, and I can say with very little hesitation that the MDR-1000X has them both beat. These are the best noise canceling headphones of 2017 - or at least, the best wireless headphones that have been on my head in 2017 - and reviewing them has been a blast.

[@techpassion4126]

I remember requesting you review the MDR-1000X back on the Bose QC35 video, and I clearly remember there were a bunch of other people who asked the same thing. The fact that you listened to your subscribers means a lot, so thanks Michael ^^

[@arman-messidagoat9942]

This guy is the GOAT of reviews!

[@bikasgrunge]

If you call him Tom Brady, he will be happier considering he is from Beantown!

[@TheMrMobile]

... but he didn't grow up in Beantown, doesn't like the Pats, and really doesn't like Tom Brady. So this is, like, terrible advice.

[@bikasgrunge]

As a Redskins fan/NotaPatsfan I will like your reviews more now man!

[@ThatsPety]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] whaaat? not a Brady fan? I don't know why that's so surprising lol

[@JoRosieQueen68]

I like when you review headphones,I'm like,yeah,I'll just stick with 40$ headphones since they look good(is subjective) and work fine,especially when you use realtek's software with them to get the sound booth experience on your head,maybe I'm to classy or too unconviced to go wireless when I know I'll need to charge them and I'll pay over 7 times the other ones for having to charge it later and use wires anyways.Well,what can I say,every man with his cup of tea,this isn't mine but hey,if it's a MrMobile Review,then I'll watch it even if I don't care about the topic in my life,might be nice to see Michael Fisher's opinion on something,plus the great quality makes it entertaining.

[@6644pmr]

No such thing as going overboard with headphone reviews, not enough tech journalists bother to review/compare them. Im sure I'm not alone in saying we appreciate you covering as many as you do.

[@danieljones3664]

I just bought my first expensive pair of headphones and these reviews helped me a lot. I wish more tech journalists would bother to cover them (Soundguys is an excellent channel/website if you want headphone coverage).

[@6644pmr]

Daniel Jones I agree. Good suggestion. I almost bought the beats studio wireless 3 for my nephew until I watched their review, as well as others. Saved a lot of money.

[@TechLineHD]

Awesome review again. Sony really needs to work on the battery level notifications. I have the waterproof sports Walkman player and yeah... you just hear "battery low" in the middle of your workout and bye bye... Sounds like a little thing but it may actually piss you off.

[@TheMrMobile]

Exactly! I heard her warn me about the battery level and was like "oh okay, I probably still have 15% or someth--" BEEP BEEP dead. :(

[@TechLineHD]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] I thought this was something that would be fixed with firmware updates but nop... 2.5 years later, same story. Still love the headset, Sony quality.

[@TechLineHD]

yeah I know but you see, I use the standalone Walkman MP3 player (which really makes me sound like an old school guy) for the gym/swimming/jogging where I don't want to bring my phone

[@Mel_Shinoda]

Linus. 😁👍😉

[@OfficialGamesky]

we share a lot of the same opinions on these. as always, another great review

[@randomnintendo7]

I've never seen a KZbinr EVER announce a sponsorship without being overly intrusive about it. ...until today. Well done, Fisher.

[@dimitri-ramos]

Oddly, this video is not showing up in my subscription feed. Nonetheless I was able to find it through Twitter and enjoy another great informative video.

[@TheMrMobile]

Dammit KZbin

[@dimitri-ramos]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] The thing is that I even have notifications turned on for your channel and I've refreshed my subscription feed several times trying to see if your video shows up. KZbin can be a strange beast.

[@MrUnderdogArt]

Hi MrMobile, If you see this comment would you recommand the bose qc 35 over the sony since they pretty much have the same price. I felt more excitment in your voice when reviewing the Bose that it makes me think I should go with them.

[@TheMrMobile]

The QC35 was my first headset with ANC, hence the excitement. I still love that set, but honestly the 1000X is the better product.

[@Slayer1111111111able]

Are you by chance planning on taking a look at the wireless momentums? On the surface they seem pretty similar to the Sennehisers you already reviewed, but I want to know if you trade any quality for what is in my opinion, the better looking pair of cans.

[@Nam3Iess]

No, we need headphone reviews ;)

[@shawnorjiakor]

Nam3less absolutely

[@Kelveron]

Really good review, thank you. I saw your Sennhieser PXC 550 review too, as I'm trying to decide between the two. One thing that you never mention in reviews is sound leakage. I catch the train to work and as I don't want to disturb fellow travellers leakage is a consideration. I've read that the MDR-1000x leak somewhat and the PXC 500 less so. What was your experience?

[@oscarmarquez8952]

(FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING) I think I know why these are cracking. It's the case and how it is stored. Before you store the headphones you need to fold the left ear cup into the headband, if you look at that motion when taking it off you would see that it bends the ear cup a bit towards you putting pressure on the part of the headband that connects the earcup. That's the exact same place where the cracks form. People who have had this issue all (guessing) used the travel case a lot and people who don't have it oftentimes have the headphones out and being used regularly. That part is weak for the very same reason why airplane windows have very rounded corners. Stress cracks can build in corners, what sony should have done is rounded that corner a bit more. So for anyone that have this headphone, be careful when folding it and putting it back on the case.

[@TravisSmithTJSHD]

Hey Michael! So just a short moment ago I got out of work and check the 96 notifications on KZbin I have on my phone. Before I set on out for my grand trek at home, I was ecstatic to see you had released a new video. And, without hesitation I jumped right onboard and started watching...needless to say I'm a came here like a little kid on Christmas Day and left happy! Thanks again for allowing this guy to view your content and of course I have to drop a thumbs up for another job well done on your work here!

[@raysprof]

Lots of good comments here suggesting you seriously did spend time with the headphones - well beyond some of the other reviewers. As a MDR 1000X user, I have no disagreements with the accolades and criticisms you have with the device. However, I do disagree you went, "a little overboard" with headphone reviews. Now we have someone we can point to who has seriously reviewed a spectrum of devices. So tout it as a positive attribute of Mr. Mobile's contribution to humanity. I look forward to the next headphone review. Maybe a "best bang for your buck". Of course it has to be "mobile" device.

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks very much!

[@RP-kr2mg]

Dear Mr. Mobile, your videos are superb. Consider increasing frequency if possible!

[@lernen8356]

dude i love you reviews , please make a bit more changes and more videos . what do you think about getting 1-2 dollar donation from users to make more often reviews and reviewing all new things ??

[@lernen8356]

you are way more sympatic and cooler than unboxtherapy etc , i dont get why they are so popular ?????

[@elizabethlopez147]

Lernen UT is popular cause of his behaviour, he's wild and funny. Atleast to me

[@rivengle]

I liked UnboxTherapy when he focused on unboxing and not just mindless entertainment.

[@stitchlee311]

Now lew just shouts and screams for no reason during his unboxing

[@CLsIim]

I unsubbed from Lew last week. Had enough annoying crap from him and is now the only Team Crispy guy I don't watch.

[@DHRME]

Voice quality over Bluetooth was good? Absolutely disagree! We did a detailed review and that's the one thing we disagree on. (We also did a detailed audiophile review, but you don't go there which is nice for little guys like us). Otherwise we're with you on all the points! Great job!

[@Cara_girlwithhat]

These might be my next big tech purchase. I always appreciate your videos in helping me decide what phone I'm going to get and now it'll be the same for headphones.

[@noisackda2564]

I'll never understand people who say these don't look stylish. The minimalist design looks so slick. It looks so high end to me.

[@bassesatta9235]

noi sackda not in the head. Dont trust how it looks on video until uve seen it on someone

[@hameed]

THey look nice but the shape looks a bit silly when you wear them. I don't mind but it definitely looks gofy

[@roscoerobinson9947]

noi sackda I know right!!!???

[@BigBladeFan]

noi sackda These definitely look good whoever told you that are dumb.

[@paulpinto5233]

Was originally hoping to get a review from you on these before I bought them, but then I just broke down and bought them anyway. Glad to see your review of them now though :) Zero regrets, fantastic headphones!

[@merc722]

Dude your reviews are dope af, especially those little animations!!! Why do you have just 500k subscribers?

[@Mohamed.Jowhar]

One thing, you can actually have 2 devices connected, i use it for media on my TV and it keeps connection for phone calls on my phone, it works

[@nathanmendenhall7062]

he says that a suddle look is bad but i prefer it over looking like a pimp with bright gold headphones and it might evan prevent them from being stolen because they would look like crap and they would not want to be taken so i think these are great so..

[@MultiCrawler1]

Nathan Mendenhall opinions. No need to add that "so..." at the end there relax, but yes agreed on the stealing part

[@keatonhawkins5861]

Nathan Mendenhall I agree with Devenant C. No need for that so it sounds bad and also "suddle" is really spelled "subtle" and "evan" is really spelled "even". Grammar corrections aside, he didn't say that the subtle look is bad necessarily, he just said that it's really nondescript or not exceptional, and that they're not very stylish. Also there aren't very many mainstream headphones that are "bright gold" and I think that would be the only pair of headphones that someone would be super interested in stealing.

[@joserobertocastellon]

I was considerably interested in the Bose QC35's, but after this review, I feel I *need* these Sony. Amazing set of features!

[@matthewdeluxe]

Excellent review Michael of an excellent pair of headphones. I agree with your conculsion. I've been using the Bose QC35 since you had recommended them, but I've really been enjoying the MDR-1000x's since receiving them a couple of weeks ago. The extra features are super duper handy for public transportation and walking.

[@ferdoushibegum7739]

Excellent review as always mr mobile! :D btw I see that lg G6 lurking in the background ;)

[@thetechfreak9584]

I bought these and the bose to test them both. I think I'm going to keep the bose over Sony just because the comfort levels and less bulk. I already have very good headphones for sound and when you think about it, when you want a pair a headphones like these, the main purpose is noise cancellation. Yes, the Sony sounds better but in my opinion they both sound good and the slightly worse sound quality wouldn't really bother me if what I'm mainly going for is noise cancelling and just the best overall for travel. I'll take comfort over anything. You can't go wrong with either, but if the only thing you care about is sound quality, then Sony is definitely the way to go. If what you want is a lightweight headphone that is super comfortable, then go with the bose. Noise cancelling on both is very good so I wouldn't make a decision just based on that. It all comes down to what you want from the headphones. Only you can make the decision on which is better for your needs.

[@gavlatennis2824]

I'd love to see you do more earphone reviews.

[@honkhonkler7411]

Good review Michael!

[@summerslider2487]

The most soothing and relaxing reviews on KZbin are the ones by Mr. Mobile

[@sfadhjkl4112]

Addhayan Bakhshi you should watch Dave2D

[@mongemrxcvi9881]

there is something very satisfying watching Mr mobile's videos

[@prospektarty1513]

Excellent and very informative review as always!

[@IgnacioCuriel]

I *love* your videos, thank you. I don't know if my MDR 1000X have a new firmware version, but I *can* connect to multiple devices: One for music and the other for phone calls (at the same time) which means that I can feel relaxed about not missing my calls on my phone while I am listening to my music from my computer.

[@BabPenguin]

Lovely to see you review headphones!

[@richardhanak1015]

Would you recommend it even if noise canceling isn't a need? If not what would you?

[@nwokochukwunonso9949]

CYPHER 1709 I absolutely love the smart way of stopping the music and noise cancellation it's soo neat

[@kskhoo81]

For those of us who can't afford one, listening to Mr Mobile is the closest we'd get to experiencing one. Thanks, bud. Keep making more, cheers.

[@inellly]

Litterally just ordered these this morning and the first thing I see in the sub box is this video 👌🏿

[@diliprathore1774]

Thanks Michael, great review as usual. I have Sony 100 abn wireless. Are these better than them?

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

the background music reminds me of watching the show How it's Made lol. I 100% enjoy all your content sir.

[@SpanglishBear]

2:54 "Is that the LG G6?" *Look at Michael's eyes while he nods* "Aaaaww sh*t! Review incoming!"

[@tjsmind]

Excellent video Micheal! I need to get my hands on these!

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

I love your reviews! Thanks for keeping us informed.

[@aishite_imasu097]

As always, an excellent review. Your reviews make me think twice of my purchases and by baseline data before purchasing. At first, you are the reason why I bought Bose QC35 last year and now here comes Sony MDR-1000X. Again, it makes me wants to buy it. Haha. Anyway, for time being I'll stick to what you have recommended earlier, the Bose QC35.

[@thangamminh8784]

Awesome review! I really like the 1000x as well but I don't have money so I ended up with the 1A instead Hope you will do more headphone reviews in the future, cheers!

[@danielvca]

Hey MrMobile, between this Sony and the Bose. Which one would you buy for personal use? Which one is better, given that they cost about the same nowadays...? Cheers

[@TheDearRecorded]

I finally ended up buying these and after a month, this is what I've discovered/still searching for: I was a bit concerned as while the sound has been clear and good, the MDR-1000x never had as much `oomph` (for lack of a better word) in its base and presence. But then this was through listening to it always via bluetooth from my computer (simple realtek audio + the Intel wireless bluetooth that came in the computer) & through my smartphone (Nexus 6P) and I figured, oh well, I guess this is what they (all the reviews I've been reading) meant by wireless vs wired and my only option to hear it at its best was wired and through a good DAC. However, recently by accident I connected it for the first time to my cable box (Bouygues telecom via it's Bluetooth option under settings) and boy was I shocked!! All of a sudden there was incredibly good presence and much better/deeper bass. So my questions to you are this > 01. Is there different kind of Bluetooth sources that you can connect to, to get a better WIRELESS audio output? 02. Is there anything I can buy to transmit via bluetooth from my computer/phone but with a more punched up Amp? I've seen some aptX wireless bluetooth transmitter/receiver sold online but are there anything similar to transmit LDAC audio? or is this only possible if I own a Sony bluetooth source (Xperia smartphone/Walkman/etc) 03. Does the concept of a DAC only make sense for wired sound and there's nothing to do for bluetooth wireless and we just need to rely on the in-built amp of the headphones? 04. Slightly off-topic from above but also relevant > I'm an extensive user (for long hours) and have found these to definitely be heating up (even if it's slight) and not feel as comfortable as the Bose QC35's (I almost bought the Bose but chose sound quality & features over comfort) - Is there any way of ordering replacement ear pads for the Sony MDR-1000x that are either from Sony or from any other 3rd part manufacturer that are much more comfortable than the Sony earpads? I've seen people take out the Bose QC35s and mod them to fit to the slots of the plastic ring inside the Sony's, mods on Dekoni earpads (Bose replacements) & also mods on Brainwavz earpads but are they not any that are sold by any manufacturer just for the mdr-1000x's?? Hope you guys help and thanks in advance for any help/thoughts/musings/time/banter!! :)

[@tase25]

I have these and the noise canceling capability is amazing. Michael, I wish you commented more on sound quality of these headphones. Like bass etc

[@michaeljcarn]

I got these yesterday. I love these so much.

[@yeshu927]

How did they perform when you watching a video, did you find any voice delay of sync. Did you find any gap between video and voice

[@dutchriot]

Hey Micheal, Not sure if you have been able to get your hands on the second gen of this headset, is it worth getting over the first gen?

[@rafaelmendescosta2812]

I dunno how Mr doesn't have 1 mi subs yet, his content is amazing, on the top of teach creators.

[@SameerTangri]

Hi, I use the Fiio E17k Alpen 2 DAC-Amp with my S7 Edge mobile phone. I currently use the 'Bose SoundTrue 1 around-ear headphones' with this setup. Do you think I should upgrade my headphones to the Sony MDR 1000x in order to- (a) listen to my music via bluetooth when I am travelling or do not have my DAC around; (b) listen to my music in the 'wired' mode through the DAC, i.e. use the MDR1000x (as a regular wired headphone) instead of the Bose SoundTrue headphones. While the (a) is pretty clear via the various reviews, it is the (b) that I am not sure about; as in would using the MDR 1000x connected to my Fiio E17k DAC via it's 3.5 mm wire really give me better sound? Thanks, Sameer.

[@ammaralkhatri8804]

another awesome review as always👻

[@joshb2000jb]

Tried on a pair of boss headphones in Best Buy and loved all the noise cancelling that they brought you, perfect for my uses. I didn't know Sony make a pair, already have a pair of sonys that I death, just bought these on Amazon as an upgrade, let's see if there any good.

[@kimberlycampbell1100]

I tried the QC 35's, the550's, and the 1000x's all at Best Buy and I ended up buying the 550's. So why did I choose the 550's over the Bose and Sony's? I'll explain why. While I did like the QC 35's comfort(you could wear these for hours)and noise-cancellation(very good)I didn't like the audio that was coming out of them while playing music I that it sounded hollow and had underwhelming bass and highs, which was very dissapointng, so was the deal breaker for me with these. Next the Sony's are the complete opposite of of the QC 35's they sounded good(they support aptx), but they were too heavy and uncomfortable(this was the deal breaker)for me and like Mr. Mobile said they can't pair to 2 devices at once, which is a let down. Also another thing that I didn't like about Sony's is the control pad which isn't as sensitive as the 550's is so I found it was unresponsive at time when I wanted to turn up the volume or skip to the next track. So I came to the 550's expecting to be dissapointed like I had been by the previous 2, but I was incompletely suprised when I tried them out. I found that they're almost as comfortable as the QC 35's(the 550's are actually lighter)and they sound as good if not better than the Sony's and just like the Sony's(the bass on the Sennheisers actually sounded cleaner and tighter than the bass on the Sony's which sound bloated on comparison)it too supports aptx which os a plus. The touch sensitive pad was more sensitive than the ones on the Sony's and while there were some still problems with the 550's touch pad I didn't have as much trouble raising the volume or skipping tracks with them as I did with the Sony's. So this is why I went with the Senns over the Sony's and Bose(this was an honest and opinion based review).

[@TheMrMobile]

Hey thanks for sharing your experience! And I agree: the 550 is a wonderful product.

[@thatblondboy007]

I had the 550s too, but I just thought they’re incredibly uncomfortable (I have pretty small ears btw). Great sound though.

[@ama-tu-an-ki]

1. Best passive isolation (vs. Sennheiser vs Bose) 2. Does not use active noise cancelling, unless you pair it with something (stupid!) 3. Does not go as low frequency in noise cancelling as Bose Thanks for the review!

[@TacSprint]

How loud do these get? I ordered them, but loudness is a big deal for me in a good pair of headphones. Thanks!

[@BabPenguin]

Hi Michael, how does the ANC compare with the Bose? Would you say it's on par or slightly better? I get the impression you weren't hugely overwhelmed with the ANC this time round as you were with the Bose. 🤔

[@TheMrMobile]

That's just because the Bose were my first set of ANC-wielding headphones. Was more excited then.

[@justintime4102]

I've tried all of the three mentioned HS - and the Sony beats them all. Only downsides are addressed in the video. Good review.

[@bettinaceciliasilveira5773]

What do you mean with "doesn't support multiple simultaneous connections"? When I go out I pair them to my ipod (for music) and to my phone (for phone calls).

[@VintageRKO]

Should i get it in beige or black??? Both looks so damn good

[@redfoxagent]

Solid looking set of headphones. I have multiple pairs but use Bose QC35 as my daily driver. I'm curious to see how they stack up in sound quality compared to the Shure se215, which are my reference point when it comes to sound quality. You discussed the ability to turn the noise cancelling on and off as a nice advantage, it might be worth checking out the Bose QC30. They're neckband style in ear noise cancelling with an identical sound signature to the QC35's but they have a feature that allows you to control the level of noise cancelling with a separate volume rocker on the remote and pump in the outside sound with microphones. (I have a pair of those as well and the effect is every cool)

[@bencherian]

i like that review at Station where train was coming... didn't see anyone else do that

[@이웃집고양이루루]

does battery decrease over time (just like mobile phones)? So for example after 2 years it will only last 10 hours or less?

[@VladimirKostek]

Just a heads up to anyone looking at this device you can connect to 2 devices at the same time! You have to first enable A2DP music on the first device and then connect to the second

[@Adeptbe]

amazing review as always!

[@ZombieChrist265]

Those beats you use for your videos is dope!

[@Felipaugustoex2612]

TheMoin2200 Don't say the word "beats", people may become hostile here...

[@ThatsPety]

TheMoin2200 😤 Grr, we don't like beats around here

[@ZombieChrist265]

I meant the music.

[@Felipaugustoex2612]

Hahaha I know, it was a joke

[@jbarah05]

It would be cool to see the sennheiser momentum 2 wireless or the Vmoda reviewed.

[@alex_oiman]

i can understand a mic for adding ambient sounds, but why modify the audio for noise canceling? that should only be done physically by the design of the ear cups and speaker case.

[@redintheclouds]

Do the Sony MDR-XB950N1 when they release (3/12/17)

[@tusharpanchal8886]

What is the call quality like? Seems like a lot of people are complaining that the caller cannot quite hear the voice. Have you found this issue? BTW.. great review.

[@huntrrams]

Tushar Panchal I tried the Sony I did not see any problems with call quality. You'll just get additional background noise as if you were talking in speaker mode on a phone.

[@pranish92]

Can you please help me to choose between bose qc35, sony mdr 1000x and seinheiser qc550.. im all jumbled up between so many reviews.. please help me to choose one.

[@abhishekhariths147]

Mr. Mobile airways gives the most objective reviews. I loved Mr. Michael Fischer when he was with pocketnow. I love him more now. I still love Bose more than the Sennheiser and the Sony. I want a podcast from Mr. Mobile.

[@Lyndeno]

Are you planning on doing a review on the improved M2 version?

[@chew-dur1372]

Please do a comparison between those 3 headphones!! MDR-100x vs PXC550 vs QC35

[@murshid.k7339]

How is the wired sound quality of mdr1000x?is it good?

[@thehowtogoto6300]

your 1080 60 looks great man

[@AbdulMoiz-wn6js]

You are the best tech reviewer on youtube!!

[@JustinSulak]

I've been using my MDR-1000x headphones as a music device with my phone, and with a PS4 as my gaming headset. It works great in both cases but I agree that the biggest issue is not being able to switch between devices; as I have to re-pair the cans every time I switch devices

[@MrSamibulin]

You can review anything you want man! Don't worry about having too many of anything because they are all great! XD

[@raydominguez9351]

I wanna buy this amazing headphone but I'm worried about the cracking issue on the plastic headband.

[@shdhfgrtdych360]

Last time I was this early Club Penguin was still going on. Great video btw!

[@adameblen]

Could these be used with a Bluetooth transmitter and a tv without having latency issues? I’m having a hard time finding latency specs on headphones. I’m looking for a really good pair that my dad can use as his headphones for music and tv....but I don’t want the sound to be off with the video when he’s watching tv.

[@stanzgarage]

Hey Mr. Mobile! couldn't help but notice you've already got a LG G6!... when will you be posting a review of that? 😍

[@TheMrMobile]

Soon!

[@510maddog]

I haven't watched any of your reviews before but I wanted to ask what kind of camera did you use? The pic is super crisp!

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks! Sony A7SII for most of these shots. More info here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3rHZqeNr7Softk

[@skipthomas4808]

Thanks for the review. When shopping around and checking out user comments, one factor keeps showing up, and that is that these devices aren't very durable. I tend to be easy on my gear, but traveling often means that things get banged and stuffed and otherwise mistreated. Do you have any comments about which headphones shine in the durability department?

[@TheMrMobile]

Unfortunately the only ones I've used for a long period have been the QC35s. They're starting to collect dust in the cans and I do worry about the loosening of the ratcheting tighteners over the ears ... but otherwise they're okay!

[@malithkulathilake]

Hey Michael, can u please review the sony hear.on wireless NC headset too... its priced at $300.

[@soultruesk8rlifelong]

Just copped em for $150 refurbished on eBay, definitely a no brainer to any competition at that price.

[@ShevonSalmon]

Who else was waiting for him to talk about the comfort?

[@RemixedVoice]

I'm still using Sony MDR-XB500 that I bought from my friend for $20 in 2012 🤘

Surprised it cant connect to multiple devices at the same time when my MDR950BT can! Its a very useful feature when you are listening to music or movies from PC and don't want to miss a phone call. I have my phone connected along and when calls comes in even the movie gets automatically paused!

What carriers does MINTSim piggyback off of?

90s Smash Hits...I'm in there!

[@MrMrabaunza]

yes! been waiting for this even though I already own them.

[@mrgorefest2010]

Love the review!!! Thank you!. I currently have the QC35's. So now based on your review and usage of both devices, what would you recommend as your absolute "daily" driver?

[@TheMrMobile]

If I had it to do over again I'd buy the 1000X. I still adore my QC35, but Sony's option to allow ambient sound through is just so useful, so often.

[@mrgorefest2010]

THank you very much Michael!!!! I think.....I'm gonna give the 1000x a try. I work for Sony anyway but I wanted a second opinion from someone like yourself, who knows his stuff :)

[@The_18th_Fret]

I've heard good things about the actual sound quality of this headset, but the fact that it can only connect to one device at a time was a deal breaker for me, plus the fact that I've heard they aren't the most comfortable headphones on the market and all the horror stories about build quality and cracks ensuing eventually turned me off and I went with the PXC 550 instead. Super comfortable, great sound, light weight, connects to my PC and phone and switches between them seamlessly whenever I switch between them too.

SO which would you personally perefer on a daily basis? the Bose or these? I love the features of the Sony's but the Bose get so compact!

[@votdfak]

You should review B&O Beoplay headphones.

This year's 1000x M2 is the real deal now. Killer ANC, endless battery and sony app with EQ. Maxed out bass is as good as XB series.

Watching this review in 1080p/60fps is so much better. It kinda look like those demo videos on appliances stores but with a much better video. Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro?

[@TheMrMobile]

FCPX!

[@JonathanMichael]

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] Yeah! Nothing comes close to the smooth timeline scrubbing and fast exporting of FCPX.
