It so happened that I work quite often fly. I’m not complaining, on the contrary, I enjoy it. But everything has its own nuances. And one of these nuances is that it’s hard to sleep on airplanes, primarily because of the noise. No matter how modern or was the plane – its insulation is far from ideal. Another nuance – multimedia system on board are often equipped with headphones such that you have to include them at full volume, and still screaming through the two rows of the child can hear better than the music or movie. Yes, and these cups sitting on the head like a saddle on a cow. And still the question of hygiene … Connect the own headphones is not always possible because of the popular airlines in the dual 3.5-mm connector. So when testing came to the peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review, I happily jumped up and began to use them immediately as the main.
EQUIPMENT
It’s funny, but in most cases, the entrance section of the review, in this case, was one of the most important. Because of the Sony equipment rich. It would be strange. But nonetheless…
The stylish carrying case along with the headphones are USB-cable for charging, audio cable for high-quality braided preventing tangles, with a 3.5 mm jack, which is through the efforts of Apple now resides in the status of a persecuted, and an adapter with a 3.5mm jack to two – just to connect to the multimedia system of the aircraft. And let paranoids begin to talk about the risks and uncertainties in the onboard network, yet there really sometimes dangerous for the life of the electronics power surges. But in the end, do not we – for electronics and electronics – for us. And if it happens that at some point something will go wrong, it will be sad to lose an accessory not cheap, but no more. Because this here with a certain fatalism I share the melancholy look on those who continue to pack panels of household appliances in the packages. Although it should be noted that such frightening manifestations thrift occur less and less frequently.
HOUSING
The peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review made in a plastic housing with a metal frame headband. Rama flexible, so that the headphones sit comfortably on the head. It affects and soft design of the inside of the headband. Cups adjustable fixation stroke hard enough, so nothing dangles nowhere.
Folding headband, making the headphones can easily fit into a compact carrying case or normal, for example, in a jacket pocket. The plates spinning, so that landing on your head is a more compact, and to remove the device becomes more convenient. You can even wear it around his neck. And to reduce the loud music is enough to touch his hand to the body. It should be noted that there is an Ambient Sound mode includes a special microphone and allows you to hear all the outside noise, the headphones do not need to shoot, even during a call. Unless you want to just follow the unwritten rule, it is intended to remove one earphone during a call with just familiar people and two – with those who are particularly respected.
Control buttons, namely the aforementioned mode Ambient Sound, active squelch and proper inclusion of headphones placed on the left cup. There is also a connector for the audio cord.
On the right-hand cup – only USB-port for battery charging. But that’s not all. Here, the touch panel during the entire surface of the outside of the cup. To this, I would have to get used to because the touch is not felt anything – absolutely smooth surface. But everything is simple: the up / down – volume, forward / reverse – switch tracks, tap on the center – play / pause and answer the call. Somehow it all reminds helmet Gear VR control.
Sami plastic cup covered with eco-leather. Headphones released in black and beige. On the housing marked serial number, as well as the designation of the right and left cups, which is important when using headphones as a headset or watching movies.
Planting cups very pleasant: headphones, thanks to the quality of \ eco-leather, gently envelop the ear and provide up to 85% of insulation from external noise and with the included even more. Sometimes in silence, there is a feeling that the ears are a bit laid. Of course, in the subway or on a plane listening to music, podcasts, movies, can with full comfort.
THE BATTERY LIFE
Charges the peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review from the usual USB-ports about 4 hours. After 1 hour of charging the manufacturer promises about 6 hours of operation, but it is important to understand that it depends on the deterioration of the battery. I have so happened, but how it would be, say, six months of the active application – hard to say.
As for their use, as they say, we, the British, it depends (it depends on modes): whether you use noise reduction modes and Ambient Sound, whether you’re using a wired or wireless connection, whether using certain combinations of the above modes. Depending on the peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review models provide 20 to 36 hours of battery life. When connected to a mobile device will allow a special indicator to watch in real time on the screen of the smartphone battery status, but it has almost all more or less decent equipment.
COMMUNICATIONS
When connecting wirelessly peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review using Bluetooth 4.1 protocol that allows moving away from the source at a distance of 10 m, but it is, of course, an open space, rather than a room with concrete walls. In this case, everything is more complicated.
As already mentioned, you can use the headphones as a headset, they are supporting the most common profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP. For comfortable communication should be worn properly, in accordance with the markings on the plates. This will place the microphone as close to the source of the voice. The audible sound quality they provide is high, but to say, for example, in the subway is not very comfortable: the person on the other end can not always hear the words.
SPEAKERS
A few words about the technical characteristics: in the peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review mounted 40-mm drivers with a diffuser of a liquid crystal polymer, providing sound in the range of 20 to 40,000 Hz with a connection cable and a switched amplifier. Resistance – from 46 to 14 ohms depending on the connection type. Microphone Sensitivity – from 100 to 8000 Hz.
CONCLUSIONS
I’m a fan of wireless headphones Sony – they are among the best on the market. The peculiar headphones Sony MDR-1000X review – an expensive device, its retail price – about 35 thousand rubles, that by the standards of people who are accustomed to inexpensive solutions many absurd… But the good sound has always cost money, and peace, and nerves, as you know, do not lend themselves to evaluation. Sony was able to create a product that can provide both one and the other. For people who love to travel – it’s one of the best deals in the market.
