      Hey I need a little help...
      I'm thinking of buying an iPad for mostly Gaming and I don't want to be outdated quickly also.
      What would you recommend?
      My budget is $500.
      The ones I have in mind are
      IPad mini 5 (509$) Wi-Fi plus cellular 64gb
      Or
      IPad pro 10.5 2017 for $440 (refurbished) 64gb
      My only concern for the pro is that it may not get many software updates. So till what iOS will it get updates and what would u recommend overall??
      If u will recommend the pro can someone tell me if this refurbished model is certified.

In the case of on ear headphones. I don't know why I tried these in the first place. On ear has never worked for me.

    The Sony’s sound *AMAZING* out of the box. I know *some* headphones need breaking in before you can judge them properly but the Solo Pros sound crappy compared to them out of the box. They’re both very comfy imo and I have nothing bad to say about the Sony 3000s or the 4000s but I’ll give the Beats a little while to break in. The Studio 3s are still a *GREAT* alternative to both of Sony’s high-end headphones. 👌

    Just spent weeks trying decide on a good set of ANC headphones. I didn’t think the beats would win out but the solo pros did. Sony products are always hit or miss in my experience. I have and awesome set of Bluetooth headphones from them that are great but 6 years old and not ANC. I bought Sony BT buds with noise cancelling a year ago and I spent some much time trying to get them not to drop out and they only got worse with every software update. I will admit that I would have preferred a good set of Sony but I cannot depend on them. The Solo Pro actually sounded better than the previous models’ of beats; though not perfect. The ANC was great despite being on ear and they were $100 less.
    For reference, I am an audio engineer and have never cared for the hyped up beats sound. These are not as hyped as before and I am not buying studio headphones. Mix the iPhone functions, they are just better for me. Not disparaging the Sonys but people should not hate just because of the brand.

Sure you can eq them. But that eq just isn’t powerful enough and most headphones eq apps don’t have enough bands in eq to real make big difference. In my experience its much better when you add bass than when you reduce it.

    Neat comparison however after trying out the Beats for commuting (& returning them...) they're not even remotely in the same league as the Sony's. Voices and chatter cut through the Beats the same as they do every non-Sony/Bose ANC headphones I've ever tried. The sound signature leaves a lot to be desired as well, the Sony XB900N's are a way better comparison for these (even though they're still the much better buy). At the end of the day it's all subjective and I enjoy watching videos like this because I'm a bit of a nerd... but these two aren't even close to being in the same league.

    Interesting review. I haven't tested the BEATS yet but a friend at the gym bought the SONY's last week and asked me to set them up on her iPhone. Very sweet sounding headphones with plenty of bass and clear treble. BUT for me as someone who loves design, the design is non existent on the SONY's. They look horrible and my first impression was that they were very plasticky - I kept thinking of how beautifully made the Bowers & Wilkins P5 were in comparison or the DJ type headphones - BEATS Pro's. I really felt that the design or lack of it and tons of plastic let this product down and would prevent me from buying a pair. Just my honest opinion (and 10+ years working in radio / broadcasting studios so I guess that I'm quite a perfectionist).

    Sony's noise cancelling adapts to your environment though. You don't just flick a switch and expect it to it block out all noises. From what I understand, it's to help you be more aware of your surroundings. You can even adjust and control the Sony noise cancelling through the app that comes with it. And another thing I've learned from personal experience, you have to adjust your equalizer depending on the headphones you are using.

      Well now I actually own a pair of the XM3s. I haven't even touched my equalizer, and it is some of the most crisp sound I've ever heard. I could just imagine how much better it would sound if I took time to adjust my equalizer.
      There's also many different noise canceling levels for the XM3s. It's also recommended that you adjust the noise canceling level depending on your altitude. A quick click on the app or a button on the headset will trigger the headset to take a few moments to adjust to your altitude.
      In my experience, with noise canceling and music turned on, I can't hear anything in the outside world.

    • @OG_Dreadful
      @OG_Dreadful 4 года назад +1

      Yes and no. The Solo Pros lean to a more neutral sound signature (surprisingly), while the Sonys lean towards a warmer sound signature, a preference most people like. A flatter response will pick up more nuances, but that entirely depends on the quality of the drivers and a flat response does not always mean good sound. The Sonys still sound good, but their warmer sound signature affects their treble range due to their heavily emphasized bass response on default for some reason. Their Bluetooth compression algorithm doesn't help either. So it really depends on what you listen to, and what type of sound you prefer. I own a pair of Momentum 3s and they crush the Sonys when it comes to clarity due to the quality of the drivers which keep the bass from over bloating the mids and highs. So yeah, the Sonys will only sound good with specific genres, and so would the Solo Pros. The Momentums are perfect for me since I prefer detail.

Also, differences in sound profile preferences exist, and to an extent sound quality can be subjective between two products. If you like rap, then you like heavy bass, so you'd go with beats or sony xtra bass and not an m3 or bose. Not everyone feels the need for audiophile levels of sound quality.
