AWESOME HEADPHONE FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES GREAT SOUND

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a professional Audio/Video Engineer, and I am not a fan of Sony Audio. Before selecting these headphones, I tested the JBL Everest Elite 700, and bought the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 (I am a Sennheiser fan) as well as the Sony MDR-1000X, for a side by side comparison.
My assumption was that the Sennheiser would blow away the Sony, as all Sennheiser does is audio. Although they sounded great, the active Noise Cancellation fell just a bit short.
When I tested the Sony MDR-1000X under the same conditions, I felt that the Active Cancellation was better than the other two, but the sound quality wasn't quite there.........UNTIL!!!!
More on that later, here is how I tested the headphones that I bought. I have moderate sized Studio Monitors in my office and I used a digital recording of a Jet Airline Cabin to test the Active Noise Cancellation. I set my system to around 80dB, about average for a jet airline, and tested the different features of the two headphones. The Sennheiser was a quick test, as it is on or off. It sounded good, but I still heard noise.
I then tested the Sony MDR-1000X under the same conditions and found the Active Noise Cancellation to be outstanding. You can also adjust the level of Active Cancellation that you desire, so if you are out on city streets, you can avoid being hit by a bus. The audio quality was okay UNTIL.........I accidently pressed a button on the bottom of the left earcup while adjusting the fit around my ears. The next thing I heard was a female voice saying "Optimizer ON", which was then followed by some tones and beeps. She then said " Optimizer Complete", and with that being said, the music came back on and OMG!!! After Optimizing the headphones with a simple button push, the sound was loud and crisp with full rich bass lines and smooth bright highs. Vocals were crystal clear and I was listening to the best set of headphones that I had heard in many years. I tried the Sony's because I had seen Sony headphones in Broadcast booths and studios around the world, but never believed that a $400 headphone would sound this good......thru Bluetooth, no doubt!!! There is also a very cool feature for conversation. If you cup your hand over the right earcup, it mutes the media and opens up the ambient microphones built into the headphones, and amplifies the outside sound, so that you can converse with someone and never have to remove the headphones. Very handy feature when traveling with others. It also provides a excellent battery life of over 30 hours of playtime at a moderate volume, and is of excellent build quality.
Overall, the Sony MDR-1000X well exceeded my expectations in every way, and are now a part of my collection of high end audio components. Audio is completely objective and an individual choice, but everyone should consider this product if considering any at all.
