During the Double 11 shopping festival, I found myself caught in a buying frenzy, pushed by Aunt Zhang’s enthusiasm. I kept thinking that maybe I could finally go out and enjoy some time off at the end of the year. But with all the noise from trains, buses, and even small three-wheeled vehicles, noise-canceling headphones became a necessity. I ended up hesitating between the QC35, 1000X, and 1000XM2.
But in the end, I went with Sony! First, I trust them. Second, their spokesperson is Dilijepa—ha ha ha!
Passive noise reduction works by covering the ear canal with earmuffs or in-ear designs to reduce external sounds. However, it's not very effective in noisy environments like airplanes or crowded streets. That’s why active noise cancellation (ANC) was developed.
The principle behind ANC is that sound waves have specific frequencies. If a sound wave with the same frequency but opposite phase is introduced, it cancels out the original noise. This is achieved through electronic circuits that reverse the phase of incoming noise. In short, it's a kind of "poison attack" on unwanted sounds. (Source: internet) High school physics, right? If you don’t get it, just Google it.
I saw the 1000X being heavily promoted in October, with prices dropping from 1799 to 1399. It looked tempting, like a cabbage price. But I waited for the 1000XM2 instead, because Dilijepa said so. Finally, I got a good deal and had it shipped directly from Japan within 7 days.
Unboxing:
The package label clearly lists features like NFC, Bluetooth, Hi-Res, and noise cancellation. The specs are impressive, and the official price is quite high.
Scanning the code lets you download the app for easy control and custom settings. It's user-friendly and makes the experience more personalized.
The main accessories include the manual, micro-USB cable, aircraft adapter, and a 1.5-meter cable. I used the headphones for 20 days and still haven’t opened the manual.
The storage bag is soft yet durable, made of leather-like material. The design is similar to the 1000X, though I can't compare materials directly.
The earmuffs are made of leather with multiple joints, allowing rotation and folding for easy storage. I’m a bit worried about durability, especially since I’ve heard some people had issues with the 1000X.
There’s a small pocket on the side for the aircraft adapter. The design is practical and well thought out.
The instructions are included, but I prefer to keep them just in case.
Function Overview:
The left side has function keys and an NFC panel. No extra features here.
Tapping the right panel allows you to switch between noise cancellation and ambient mode. It’s useful when you need to hear your surroundings, like when crossing the street.
The right side includes call controls, volume, music, and voice assistant functions.
Even though it's a Japanese model, the interface is in English. You can customize noise cancellation, battery life, and other settings.
The app adjusts noise cancellation based on your environment. It also includes equalizer and surround sound modes.
Comparison with 1000X:
The second-gen buttons are more integrated and easier to use.
The logos look similar, though there might be slight color differences.
The XM2 offers up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, plus a fast charge feature: 10 minutes of charging gives 70 minutes of playback.
Experience:
The fit is comfortable, and the headband is adjustable. Even after long use, my ears didn’t hurt much.
The gesture controls are intuitive, and the voice prompts help guide you.
The sound quality is great, and the noise cancellation is incredibly effective. It’s like entering a peaceful world.
Summary:
**Pros:**
1. Excellent noise cancellation that creates a personal space.
2. Up to 30 hours of battery life, perfect for long trips.
3. Fast and convenient operation.
**Cons:**
1. The black color is too understated, making it hard to distinguish from the 1000X.
2. Price is high, but worth it if you believe in the brand.
3. No Dili hot ba included, but a fake one might be sent anyway.
Everyone wants something cool to use. Sony is great! After the 11th, more exciting stuff is coming. Thanks for watching. Goodbye!
