So on December 15th 2019 a filling for the WH-1000XM4’s hit the FCC. So naturally everybody is speculating that the Sony 1000XM4’s are right around the corner. But I still maintain that the Sony 1000XM4’s are still a few months out and I still don’t think that we’ll see them at CES 2020 for a few reasons. First off it is common practice for companies to register up coming products months in advance with the FCC before they’re released. And I’ll use some recent products as an example.
I’m going to start off this video by saying that I really like how the AKG N700NC M2’s sound after tweaking their EQ. These headphones sound quality wise can actually compete with some of the recent $400 headphones I’ve reviewed. But even though these headphones do have some notable improvements from last year’s N700NC’s… these headphones still have a lot of room for improvement.
Unfortunately the Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC headphones are just an underwhelming pair of ANC headphones that just can’t compete with other current ANC headphones. They don’t fit all that well, they have missing features, their active noise cancellation isn’t all that great and they don’t sound all that remarkable. Personally I can’t find any viable reason to get these headphones over any other pair of $400 headphones that I've recently reviewed.
Now that the Sony 1000XM3’s are little over a year old now… they’re now starting to go on sale for $300 and some times go on sale for $280 if not a little less. And even though there are a whole bunch of other recently released ANC headphones… The Sony 1000XM3’s are still my favorite and most recommended pair of ANC headphones… and if you want to pick these headphones up they’ll be linked down below. But the 1000XM3’s still have room for improvement… and perhaps the biggest question most people have is is it safe to get these headphones right now cause when are the Sony 1000XM4’s coming out?
Even though the Sennheiser PXC 550-II’s have a lot of short comings for headphones in 2019… I strangely still really enjoy them. But when it comes to choosing between the Sennheiser PXC 550-II’s and Sennheiser Momentum 3’s… its almost like 2 completely different companies made these headphones. Cause almost everything about them, even down to the included accessories are completely different on these headphones.
Like I said in the full review… the Sennheiser PXC 550-II’s are a very peculiar pair of ANC headphones that just don’t live up to their full potential. But strangely enough I still really enjoy them. They’re definitely not perfect for everyone. But they’re a good alternative to the Sony 1000XM3 and Bose NC 700’s depending on your needs and circumstances. So here’s how the Sennheiser PXC 550-II stack up against the Sony 1000XM3 and Bose NC 700.
The Sennheiser PXC 550-II are a very peculiar pair of ANC headphones. I don’t think that they live up to the fullest of their potential and I don’t recommend that you run out and get these headphones… but I also wouldn’t just right them off. Depending on your needs and on a very specific set of circumstances these headphones might actually be prefect for you, and for some other people these headphones will might be a disappointment. So lets see if these headphones are right for you.
The Jabra Elite 75T’s are an overall great pair of truly wireless earbuds. If you’re an android user I think these are the earbuds to get and even if youre and iPhone user I think these would be a good step up from the $160 AirPods depending on what you’re looking for. Although they’re not perfect and I do have some criticisms I really like to see all of the improvements Jabra made from the Elite 65T’s.
