The Japanese always try to do everything honestly. Therefore, they often make good products. We decided to find out if the WF-1000X headphones belong to them.
Design
The design of the "plugs" resembled a beetle. In general , they are made quite neatly and sit deep in the ears. 3 sets of interchangeable ear pads allow you to choose the most comfortable. With colours, however, not a lot, there are only two of them: black and golden.
Noise suppression
The model focuses on the active noise reduction system Smart Listening. She has 2 modes: NC (Noise Cancelling), which cuts off street noise, and Ambient Sound (surround sound), which, on the contrary, focuses your hearing on the surrounding sounds. In fact, sound isolation, as such, is felt only passive, due to the tight and deep fit of the ear cushions, active, frankly, looks more like a marketing ploy.
case
If everything is fine with the quality of workmanship of Japanese masters, then with the concept of ergonomics, not so much. The case for the headphones is angular, frankly not pretty and not very convenient to carry in your pocket. The capacity of the built-in battery is enough for two charges of the headphones, and it will charge for about two hours.
battery life
With battery life, everything is debatable. The manufacturer claims 3 hours of operation in active mode. But not everyone knows that this duration was measured at a volume of 50%. That is, in fact, at a normal volume of 70 – 80% on a single charge, the WF-1000X will not last even two hours. And this is not at all happy. Especially in headphones costing almost $250.
Sound
Observing such a weak battery life, we expected that the sound quality compensates for these shortcomings, because we are talking about Sony.
Our hopes were dashed on the flat reefs of an ocean of mediocre sound. Fortunately, at least compatibility with "apple" devices was taken care of by including AAC in the list of supported codecs. However, as a headset, the model will serve with a bang. This is where active noise cancellation comes in handy.
Smart setting
And the headphones boast the presence of NFC and the ability to fine-tune using the Sony Connect application. In it, you can wind yourself up with a more or less decent sound and deal with NC modes.
In general, we will not groan at the WF-1000X, but we will also gasp. Fortunately, the Japanese once again confirmed that they know how to work on bugs, as evidenced by the release of a new model of true wireless headphones WF-SP700N, which promises to smash all competitors on the spot. Well. We hope and wait!
And we recommend the WF-1000X for phone calls and short musical performances without any claims to the quality of the sound stage.
