Following the actual experience of SONY WF-1000X true wireless noise-cancelling headphones for you last week, this time I bring you the trial of two wireless noise-cancelling headphones, WH-1000X and WI-1000X, SONY WH-1000X M2 Wireless Noise-cancelling headphones, the follow-up to last year's MDR-1000X, use the same over-ear headphone form as the previous generation. At the same time, the WH-1000X M2, like the WF-1000X, has won five stars from the well-known foreign magazine Hi-Fi. . As for the WI-1000X, it is a brand-new series with a neck-mounted in-ear headphone structure. These two wireless noise-cancelling headphones are equipped with atmospheric pressure detection noise reduction optimization technology, automatic detection noise reduction mode, and support SONY exclusive DSEE Features like HX, S-Master HX, and LDAC deliver high-quality audio to the listener.

The I of WI-1000X is the abbreviation of InEar in-ear type BAS70ZFILM. When you buy a series of products, you can quickly know which product it is. This headset is worn by the neck, which is the same as the Bose QC 30. , it is clearly a product launched with this headset as an imaginary enemy!

The headphone wire is manually stored, and a groove for the cable is designed at the front of the neck hanging. The editor asked SONY staff, this time the design of automatic cable retraction is not adopted, mainly for the different usage habits of consumers. , to avoid thinking that too much pulling will cause damage to the wire.

The neck hanger is made of metal material, covered with soft sponge and soft leather material, and the overall touch is comfortable.

The operation function buttons are located on the inner side of the left and right neck hangers. The right side has the NC and ambient sound mode switching buttons, and the left side is the power/Bluetooth on/off, volume adjustment, and multi-function buttons for music playback/call function/fast forward and rewind.

The WI-1000X can also be used with the Headphones Connect app. The app will automatically display the available setting functions for different earphone styles.

WI-1000X also has the option of flexible sound control. The application will detect the mobile state of the mobile phone and automatically switch the ambient sound control mode. If you do not want to enable this function, you can adjust it through manual ambient sound control, including static , walking, running and taking vehicles, each mode can adjust the intensity of ambient sound, and can correspond to the settings of the elastic sound effect control.

WI-1000X also has a noise reduction optimization function. The system automatically detects the atmospheric pressure value of the location, allowing the system to automatically adjust the optimal noise reduction level. It is suitable for use when flying, but if the air pressure changes, it must be re-detected. , Simply speaking, as long as the noise reduction has no effect or the effect is weakened, the action of re-detection may sound a little troublesome, but the detection time only takes a few seconds, which does not affect the actual use.

The sound source position control is a very special function. Users can choose the preferred sound source position to play music. There are five positions to choose from. In addition, a surround sound mode has been added, and four different surround sound field effects are built-in.

Finally, you can see the sound quality mode adjustment common to the three earphones, as well as the DSEE HX digital sound enhancement engine function on and off, and the last item is the WI-1000X's unique incoming call vibration function. Hanging up will send out a vibration effect to remind the user to call, of course, you can also choose to turn it on or off.

The WF-1000X is the same in-ear wearing method, but the WI-1000X has a neck hanging design, which will make many people feel a certain degree of peace of mind, but the neck hanging earphone cannot be used during exercise, because it is not. The stability of the collar is not a priority consideration, so it is recommended not to wear neck-mounted headphones for jogging, aerobic exercise or even cycling. The leather material on the WI-1000X neck is quite comfortable to the touch, but if there is a lot of sweat, it will be easier to slide. Each button has a different feel design, as long as you touch it, you will know which button it is. Pretty thoughtful design.

The WI-1000X has almost the same noise reduction effect and function as the WH-1000XM2. As for the difference between the over-ear type and the in-ear type, the editor thinks that it is mainly in terms of sound insulation. There are obvious advantages in structure. When Xiaobian actually uses it on the plane, the WI-1000X may move slightly due to the head swing. Noise enters the ear (how annoying it is~), you need to re-adjust the wearing of the headset to enter a quiet state~ However, the effect of atmospheric pressure detection and noise reduction optimization, the editor personally thinks that it is almost not too much with the WH-1000XM2. too obvious difference.

In the Bluetooth connection part, the pairing convenience and stability of the WI-1000X do not have much problems, and it is not prone to other radio wave interference and disconnection. If you want to use a wired method when the battery is dead Connection, SONY also attached a special headphone cable for users to use. With the built-in application, you can also choose different surround sound effects and equalizer sound modes. These functions are designed to give users a richer listening experience. Unfortunately, in the LDAC transmission mode, these functions are not available. It can only be used in AAC transmission mode. I hope SONY can open these functions as soon as possible.

The last thing I want to talk about is the performance of the sound quality. The basic sound quality of the WI-1000X is similar to the XBA-Z5 I have heard before. After all, the WI-1000X is a hybrid monomer with a 9mm dynamic moving coil and a balanced armature. configuration, so a similar style is a pretty reasonable thing to do. The WI-1000X is mainly tuned with medium and high audio frequency. The medium and high audio frequency is clear and durable enough. Although the overall sense of hearing is slightly cold, the details and contours of the instruments and vocals are quite obvious, and the depth of the bass audio is very deep. And strength is a little lacking. If you like music with a strong sense of rhythm, you may feel that the low-frequency volume is a little lacking, but it is quite suitable for popular music and vocal-based music.

All in all, with SONY's current almost complete noise reduction technology for noise reduction headphones, plus its own original research on acoustics, WI-1000X has better performance than the general level in these two parts. If you don't like earmuffs The sultry feeling when wearing the headset, or the inconvenience of extra carrying, this neck-mounted WI-1000X may be one of the good choices, but the inability to take it to exercise really makes the editor who loves sports feel that It's a pity~
