The best noise canceling headphone ever

published

The best noise canceling headphone on the market. The sound quality is pretty good and it is very comfortable to wear. Noise canceling function is amazing, barely hear the noise when the music is on. It is a little bit expensive but you have to tell it is worth it.

Great Headphone but......

published

Great Headphone, but, for the money, wish they were a lil louder, sound quality and battery are amazing (been to the gym about 25 times, and no need to charge).



Picked these headphones up for a good price from Addicted to Audio (amazing/fast service).

These headphones have some cool features, like controlling devices/app with touching/swiping of the ear peices, can be a problem if your a gym person whose arms occasinally touches ear area (im sure this can be disabled). The app works well with the headphones too.

Would have given 4 and a half stars if possibe.

Noise cancellation is excellent

published

Excellent noise cancellation compared to QC 35 II's. No "Underwater" feeling like on Bose but when used at a quiet environment, a slight sea breeze kind of noise can be heard. But I prefer that than feeling pressure in my ears when using QC 35's. Sound quality is nothing to write home about. If you care only about sound quality choose headphones suitable for that. Sound quality wise I would rate these at 4 out of 5 stars. Overall Sony's are a better package.

Great headphone

published

This head phone is great and a very excellent-sounding, comfortable wireless headphone with effective noise canceli ng that measures up to something like the Bose QC 35

The only complaint was that it had a weird feedback noise when plugged into airline head phone jacks. Not sure why that is.

Absolutely love these

published

I have had two other noise cancelling headphones previously and these were by far better. I tested them out with a reasonable level of music (nothing blasting in the ears) and with the noise cancelling on next to the running water in the fish tank and could only hear it if I was concentrating. On the plane there was a crying baby a few rows behind me. I found that once I put the headphones on most of the noise was drowned out and I feel asleep without the irritating noise. Highly recommend to anyone for value compared to some other headphones offering similar for a greater price and/or less quality.

Perfect noise-cancelling headphone

published

I was looking for a noise-cancelling headphone to replace my broken one. At first, I was wondering between Sony and Bose QC35ii. Part of the reasons was Sony's price at the time is higher than Bose one. However, I'm very happy that I went with Sony. Sound quality is awesome. Plus the ambient function helps me easily concentrate on what's I'm doing. Even better, it's perfect fit my head (for my previous headphone, I found it quite overwhelmed upon wearing).
It comes with a nice compact box. What I do not like is when I have to fold the headphone to put it back to the back. I have to be carefull, else it's broken. But with a perfect sound and noise-cancelling feature, no complaint should be allowed.

Best headphones

published

I purchased these sony wh-1000xm2 during the boxing sales last year. i found them better than the bose which i tested in jbhifi. it is the best headphone with the noise cancelling option which is perfect for train or air travel. i recommend purchasing these headphones from sony as these one do not have the crackling noise.

Blown my mind!

published

These headphones have been a fantastic christmas gift, clear sound quality with bluetooth due it it's support of APTx and I look forward to future support with Sony's formats. Bluetooth works well enough in most enviroments and it takes a heavy WiFI enviroment such as a shopping centre to cause any interferance. Is a worthwhile investnment if you're wanting to care for your ears and take public transport regulally!

Solid NC headphones

published

I had never owned noise cancelling headphones before but I fly weekly for work so thought I should give it go. These headphones have a very even sound which I like. The bass is solid and responsive though not droney or overpowering. They sit comfortably on my head and the hard carry case certainly comes in handy. The build quality is also nice. I am not a huge fan of the touch controls as I touch them more by accident than n purpose. Cupping the ear to hear the ambient sound is a nice feature though.The app is also pretty pointless as syncing with my phone or device works fine without it. Very happy with my purchase though.

Excellent sound and ANC

published

I bought these headphones on boxing day for $317. I was tossing up between the Bose QC35 and these for a long while, but the sale pushed me over the edge. I am so glad I chose these ones, the sound is far superior to the Bose and the ANC is on par. These are great for when I am working and want to block out the surrounding noise like cicadas in the summer. Once you have these on you hear nothing except muffled voices. Love the touch pad on the right earcup as well, very handy to play/pause songs and activate ambient sound. Overall very pleased with these. The only thing that could be improved is the comfort, they are not uncomfortable by any means, but the Bose definitely have the edge.

What I was after

published

Was in the market for ANC headphones, and pretty much nailed it down to either the Bose QC, B&W PX and these. Due to stock level on the PX, I was unable to try before buying; plus couldn't justify paying the extra odd $150. Cabin pressure on the QCs were discomforting so the WH-1000XM2 really hit the mark.

Excellent audio quality, exciting low end that isn't overly deep and muddy and very comfortable to wear however does tend to heat up a little after hours of wear. Would recommend.

Amazing additional controls!

published

After doing plenty of comparison reading on this headset vs the Bose QC35 v2, I decided to get these Sony's. I'm glad I did too. I feel the noise cancelling is a close call between both, but what I love about the Sony's is being able to cup my hand over the ear piece to momentarily disable the noise cancelling, as well as the controls to easily skip, pause, and adjust volumn; (or double tap for voice commands, although I do believe the Bose have the voice command functionality as well)

Great headphones

published

I read a number of reviews and tried a number of different headphones before purchasing the sony wh-1000xm2 and believe I made the right choice. They sound amazing. Also the control functions on the headphones work really well and the sony app is a really good addition. It allows me to upload 24 bit high quality audio which is played over bluetooth apt x. Noise cancelling works very well which is the main reason for buying these.

Best noise cancelling headphone

published

This is the best wireless headphones ever. I noise cancelling works really well and I can't hear anything surroundings when using these headphones.The pause on the noise cancellation is extremely useful when out and about. The finish is classic and looks durable too.

It is a bit expensive but it is worth the money especially if you travel a lot.

Solid headset

published

Has touch controls, makes the experience feel for more futuristic. The tap for google assistant has however gotten a bit slow (but could also be due to my phone). The app that it comes with is pretty bad, but not needed to use. Battery life is great and so is sound quality. Personally a bit tight and can feel sore after 2+ hours
