Man, I have been actively searching for the last 3 days, headphone videos. In none of the searches I did did your channel come up. I didn't remember the name, but I did remember the aesthetics and your face. Just now that I enter I see that your latest videos have fewer views than you usually have. I think UA-cam shadow banned you or something like that. I just found you because my cousin reminded me of the name of your channel. For now I'm going to subscribe so I don't miss you again haha.
Awesome review! Just got myself a pair of Sony ULT's and they have not dissapointed, first real pair of ANC headphones, even if the sound quality may not be super high tier I really like it after the Find My Equalizer option on the app, makes them sound the way you want to! If aiming for better sound quality you may have to go even higher and try getting the XM5 or the Momentum 4, nonetheless the ULT's are a real solid pair of headphones, I really recommend them.
So I just want headphones. Proberly won’t use the that much just for listening to music, tv shows at home and using them on journeys etc . Would you still recommend ult ?
@@jaa840 I have been using them a lot since I got them, have used them for travelling, movies, at work and even some gaming, the ANC is top tier for what I've seen, it will mostly depend on how much money are you willing to spend, if you want a cheaper alternative without LDAC coding could be the Sony CH720, they cost like 60 dollars less and will get the job done, but I still think the ULT's win by a long shot
Hey, just wondering, is it really chunky when you wear it. My sister has the Sony xm5 and those already seem chunky when I wear it. So I'm just concerned whether I would look stupid when I wear it.
@@karunkrishnavelautham621 they are kinda chunky, but I don't think they are overly bulky, they have good space for your ears and that makes them comfortable, I don't think it looks stupid, but if you want slimmer headphones maybe look at the Beats studio, which is somewhat smaller, or maybe Senheisers, could work too, if you want to stick to Sony the Ch720n are a bit smaller although you lose on the ANC end and the high resolution codex. As they are over the ear headphones most of them look pretty big overall.
Yup, my Q35's are bandaged up on both sides after just under a year. Tbf, I do use them a lot, though. I'm thankful I was able to fix them because all their functions work beautifully
' you see a lot of professional athletes using beats ' which is true but there is a glaring emission from this sentence and should read ' you see a lot of professional athletes wearing beats after they have been paid by beats to wear them ' the sentence also goes for actors, singers, musicians and basically any celebrity, beats are not the best selling headphones based on how good the headphones are they are the best selling based on the sheep mentality of majority of the public to follow what celebrities are wearing (even when the celebs are only wearing because they are being paid to wear them).
Very interesting review. I tried the soundcore space one but returned them because I didn’t notice the anc. Instead I purchase a Bose QC in Costco for $210. I think they worth every penny.
Microphone test indoors: 5. Sony 4. Senheizer 3. Jbl 2. Soundcore 1. Beats Mic test outside: 5. Senheizer 4. Jbl 3. Sony 2. Soundcore 1. Beats Thats my mic ranking.
Excellent review & thank you! But I already bought the Sony last week (for USD155 promotion in Singapore) , so your 2nd ranking is not bad. No regret for me... 🙂
I have the Sony ULT headphones and I'm quite satisfied with them. The noise canceling is fantastic and the sound quality in my opinion is really good. Initially at first they were a little tight on the ears but that's normal and once you wear them more often they get a little looser and more comfortable but still have a good hold on your ears. I agree that the base is a little bit too much but I found that having the ULT button off was much better if you want to spare your hearing. 😂 I also might be a little biased but in my opinion the aesthetics were on No.1 for Sony. Overall a great pair of headphones, I would rate them a 9/10.
@@Youarekenough It's definitely good in my opinion, especially if you turn the volume up and noise canceling on. If you don't like a crazy amount of bass keep the ULT button off.
Mike what do you think about the build quality of the sony xm5. had a couple of them break on me the hinge is really bad. i think that they should have used the same design used in the xm4 or something better.
If I'm looking for headphones for instrumental music (rock, classical, soundtrack), none of these are suitable? I'm not against bass, but I prefer to feel the vibration from the drum beat... is it bass or not? =) For wired headphones I have Sennheiser hd599 and Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
Ok but for 170 you can now get the sennheiser accentum plus which have touch controls, stronger anc and a slightly better sound quality plus they come with a carrying bag 🙏🏽
Those are $229 on Sennheiser's website. I didn't want to include anything that was temporarily under $200 due to a sale or something. Edit: but I would love to include those in a future comparison!
Got my sony ult wear's a week or 2 ago now and they are Amazing. I haven't had a wide range of headphones to base it off but they are incredibly comfortable, since rhe clamping force is quite gentle so definitely don't do anything intense with them like a workout, because they will most definitely fly off your head in seconds lmao. I tested out the higher and on terms of comfort they're no difference if not better. Only bad thing about them I'd say is that the auto pause is a but slow it takes about 1,5 seconds which is akwardly long and they also abruptly stop the music instead of slowly pausing which i would prefer, second thing is the BASS, IDK WHAT THEY WERE SMOKING BUT I WANT SOME LOLZ, but seriously like these babies could blow out my eardrums if i put it on max, if you're looking for bass it might even be too much, it's a lil annoying since i actually dislike bass(i didn't exactly plan to buy them) so even at about 35% it's a bit much, planning to spend an evening to make a personal equalizer setting, but yh definitely recommend them if you're priority is comfort like mine, they're incredibly comfy even with my glasses on.
Beats studio pro are my favorite they are cheaper then the solo 4! But I had just bought the Sony ult and I love them too but still the studio pro are my favorite
Same WH-XM3 is king. I've seen reviews where the 4's beat out 5. Where the 3's beat the 4's. Only thing missing in my opinion with the 3's is the pause effect when u put them around ur neck but not needed for me.
@@rare2b yes, and i don't need that either too. I both tried the XM4 and the XM5, the XM3 is definitely better than thr XM4 in sound quality but the XM5 has an edge over the XM3 but not that substantial and not worth upgrading. I can EQ the XM3 to make it sound like the XM5. The worst sounding of the bunch is the XM4.
Don't recommend space ones for anything except using them at home. they are extremely fragile (especially at the joints). such a shame, i rly liked some of the features. here to find a replacement since they have self destructed on me.
Anyone that endorses JBL's doesnt know what the fk they are talking about. The forums everywhere on JBLS have the worst reviews. While the sound is great the headphones have a HUGE problem which is they shut off randomly thanks to the JBL switch when it thinks you are not on it shuts off within 10 minutes. You loose sound in gameplay which is devastating if you are playing FPS and cant reset the sound till you take out the dongle, reset the headset then reset the entire game. The dongle does not recognize in many windows 11, it doesnt pop up for long under audio and eventually windows hides JBL on its audio list over n over. Do not buy JBL's you will waste your money. They could easily fix the headset if they wanted to threw an update but they never have for years. You can change the amount of time on the switch so it says more than 10 minutes, hours or it even states it will stay on indefinitely but it does not work. Check out the reddits, nobody should be saying buy a JBL
Those beats are a disaster if you are getting them for every day use. They always disconnect, pulls out all your hair, fall off your head when you look down. Never buying apple headphones again! I hate the apple "features" now were gonna be jamming out to music and accidentally answer a phone call. Pulling out an air pod stops the music. Ugh the "features" make you wanna toss them all into the trash!
Unfortunately there were too many headphones to consider and the video is already over 30 minutes long. If I had more time, I would include those as well as a few others (Earfun, old Sony XM3, maybe some older Bose, etc)
cheap audio always sounds terrible... i hated every soundcore item i ever purchased. You music will sound bad for the next year all for the cost of $100. Def couldnt do it.
What soundcore do in their headphones is good tuning, really good tuning, but I think the quality of the drivers make the headphones sound like enclosed on a tin can, I don't know how to explain but is a weird feeling, also, when ANC and Ambient is On or Off the sound is affected by a lot.
I had the old sound cores (Q35) they were fine out of the box but they were fucked after ~1,5 years of using even though I allways carried them in the case they broke in 2 spots and the pads completely disintegratedand you can’t replace them
never really had real use for these huge headset. i use one on a flight its nothing but a nuisance. regular earbuds with hooks are the best on long flights
This is such a flawed comparison. The methodology seems to lend equal weightage to all metrics, which is franky absurd. How on earth can you think something as trivial as case quality matters anywhere near as much as sound quality when comparing a headphone? Somehow the JBL won this 'comparison' and got your recommendation, and the Sennheiser came last. I've heard both these headphones, and the difference between them is frankly night and day. The JBL sound like cheap earphones when compared to the Sennheiser. I honestly couldnt care less that the JBL won in 'aesthetics' when it sounds like crap. Ridiculous.
That's why I show the score at the end. One viewer may value comfort or price more while another may prioritize sound quality and battery life. You are free to apply your own weighting algorithm to the scores at the end.
@@MikeOBrienMedia Headphones are not suited for outdoor use in my opinion: in the summer they become uncomfortable and make you sweat, and you can't use them in the winter (because they are not water resistant). Earphones do not share the same flaws. I'm more into great sound quality (neutral with a slight bass boost) & comfort, with above-average ANC & battery life. Between the contenders, the Sennheiser Accentum and the JBL Live 770NC fit my criteria the most. And between those two, I find the Live 770NC offer more complete package due to the wear detection, and extensive software features.
Great video, but curious your choice of going for the soundcore space 1 vs the Q45 which seem like they would be more comperable to the others in this comparison?
I just recently was searching for good headphones and my choice was Sony WH-CH720NC. They are a bit older than Ult Wear but are a bit cheaper. I got mine for €90 tho usually they cost 100. Overall, i am incredibly happy with them, they are super comfortable, sound is great and they are pretty light so they don't feel heavy nor overload the head. So if anyone wants good headphones under 100 bux, Sony WH-CH720NC is an amazing choice from my experience.
My day-to-day earbuds are Soundcore Liberty 4NCs but, when travelling, I use Soundcore’s Space Q45s. Would definitely recommend both. Thanks for the content.
Same but my liberty 4nc left bud doesn't fit me as well as the right one,could be just that i have weird ears. My q35s are good but the nc on the liberty 4nc is wayyy stronger
@@flick4556 My ears need different sized tips (think that’s what they’re called). Just tried the new C30i open earbuds, but I unfortunately couldn’t get them to fit.
Great video! Definitely want more clarity than bass, bass is great but... Adelle songs don't have much bass The Soundcore Space one's sound muffled outside.. But the noise reduction on backround sound is very nice.
Hey Mike. I know it's been two months since you added this video, but I surely hope you will be able to answer my question. My biggest concern on choosing headphones is definitely heat. In the "comfort" section of this video, you don't talk that much about it, so here's my question. Which one of all the headphones you have tested under 200$, whether it's one in this video or not, has the least tendency to get hot? Actually if you could give me a top 3 I would really appreciate it. I want to use them for movie watching at home.
Awfully exaggerated review for the ult wear. I have them and have my fair share of bass headphones. They are NOT that crazy and you make it seem like it's more than it really is. I don't think you've been around bass much if you consider these to be mind blowing.
I think the soundcore is honestly the best looking but thats just me Edit: peeps with long hair, be wary of beats. They regularly pull out 4-5 hairs each side taking them off.
If you are looking for a headphone under 100 dollars and you don't care about it being wireless and having noise canceling, buy the Philips shp 9600. It is open-back, and the drivers and sound quality are a lot better than any of these(except the senheisers I think). They have a pretty flat frequency response compared to these, so unlike these, they are not cranking up the bass and treble to the high heavens
@@nicolescutiberiu840 Definitely not the most impressive sound, but solid for the price and features. I listen to a good range of genres, but mostly alternative, pop, hip-hop, and r&b. I can make out the different instruments pretty well with these on, but I won’t say the spacing is the best I’ve heard. The standard EQ felt lacking to me personally, but I’ve stuck to the Bass EQ preset and can’t complain. I also listen at about 50% on all my headphones, and they’re plenty loud at that level.
Ok Mike, I like you and your vids for the most part, but I think I'm just over phones and earphones... I mean the cost a bit to do with it, as 1000 for a phone is just a big turn off for me, and if I'm only buying phones to use as a handheld desktop to to do media transfers... ??? I can see talking about best case scenarios, but 200 for any headphones with so much out there seems a bit crazy to me. I do appreciate which one gives me best sound when I'm listening to music as a focus, but I feel like your time would be better spent on which is best for helmets with Electric Bikes in different situations, and then whats worth the price. I really appreciated the vid on the bikes, and am looking for one that can hold my weight and which is best for seniors, going to stores, to work, etc., other wise I'm very interestred in what would be best listeniing expeerience when riding as some can be very loud, yet unsafe if noise caceling was used. So a couple years back I ended up with a mic and ear set that goes into a motorcycle helmet, and it would be nice to see some comparisons on those, but I may be losing my hearing lol... so UGH, I say we force the price down... 125.00 should be for the best of the best, and around 75 for those who can want the bells and whistles, but otherwise, I just want to be able to hear the song I'm listening to without a bunch of distortion. and I have plenty of those that coast were almost free from a grab bag. Oh, I did just start editing and like good head phones sound during that, and voice playback of myself... Thanks

Great video, just one thing to take into consideration, the sony ult wear battery is around 50 hours without ANC and 30 hours with the ANC turned on
The biggest compromise with the Soundcore will be so they have the same low durability as the older Soundcore headphones that self-destruct over time.
Yes they literally fall apart in the same place after about 5 months to a year
Yup, my Q35's are bandaged up on both sides after just under a year. Tbf, I do use them a lot, though. I'm thankful I was able to fix them because all their functions work beautifully

Live 770NC has the best bass response all of the JBL headphones, i've ever heard, and very easy to costumize via the app's 10 band equalizer.

Have you tried the Sony Wh-ch720n? If so do you think they compare to any of these you've mentioned in this video?
You could have tested the soundcore space one pro or the Q45
Add the Skullcandy Hesh ANC up next
If you had to choose between the sony wh-720N the jbl 770C and the soundcore space one which would you choose
Which one did u get ?
Any reason Accentum Plus was not considered? I am torn between Accentum Plus and Sony.
Maybe the price is bit above 200
Instead of the space ones could you use the space q45
When you set ascetics, my first thought was oh clearly the senhesers are gonna win in the beats, which are gonna be last.
I like the casual hey as if we're buddies who we just saw walking down the street in the beginning 😂
Thank you a lot for your video! It was exactly what I’m looking for!

how good is the anc on the ult wear and accentum compared to Bose qc45?
So for the microphone and phone calls, which one is the best?
I just got the beats solo 4s I really like them only had them for a month no problem gd bass
Beats studio pro are my favorite they are cheaper then the solo 4! But I had just bought the Sony ult and I love them too but still the studio pro are my favorite
I was expecting to see edifier wh950nb here. Any reason why, since they should beat a few of these..
How do the Soundcore Space One sound with using the auxiliary cable? I was interested in using with my nintendo switch.
Hey Mike 👋 i love your videos
But why wouldn't you also include the soundcore q45 because they're still under 200 actually they're on Amazon right now for 89 pound
I picked the beats studio pro for $179 with apple care included at Costco.
I almost included the Studio Pro in this video
@@MikeOBrienMedia should have. the studio pros are almost always under 200, while the solos are at 130.
Great sharing 👍
Lol, the Ult wear is not bassy enough for me. I am going for the crushers.
I've just presented my daughter Space One and to be honest they're quite good for 50 bucks I've paid for them and not that worse than my old xm3's
It's incredible what Anker/Soundcore is able to offer at such a low price. Who knows how long it will last, but out of the box, I am impressed

Between the contenders, the Sennheiser Accentum and the JBL Live 770NC fit my criteria the most. And between those two, I find the Live 770NC offer more complete package due to the wear detection, and extensive software features.

Thank you! I needed a comparison like this!
I Love Sony!!! I'm Using ULT New Wireless Sony Headphone with Extra Bass!!! Also I Interested with JbL & Soundcore too!!! 🤟🏻😃🤟🏻
You want BASS !?!?!? Fat Freq Scarlet Mini IEM is supposed to be the best.... can't wait to confirm that though
Great video, but curious your choice of going for the soundcore space 1 vs the Q45 which seem like they would be more comperable to the others in this comparison?
Love your vids man ❤❤
I just recently was searching for good headphones and my choice was Sony WH-CH720NC. They are a bit older than Ult Wear but are a bit cheaper. I got mine for €90 tho usually they cost 100. Overall, i am incredibly happy with them, they are super comfortable, sound is great and they are pretty light so they don't feel heavy nor overload the head. So if anyone wants good headphones under 100 bux, Sony WH-CH720NC is an amazing choice from my experience.
The $90 - $200 range is so interesting to me. Some are incredible and some are terrible
Why ATH M50x BT2 not listed?
Anc Jbl way better than anker. It is just wrong to measure with static white noise
No Sony CH 720? I love those thing. They are so light
I’m planning to get one can you update how ch720 doing? Do you get ear pain?
What a great video I m going for the jbl
My day-to-day earbuds are Soundcore Liberty 4NCs but, when travelling, I use Soundcore’s Space Q45s. Would definitely recommend both.
Thanks for the content.
Same but my liberty 4nc left bud doesn't fit me as well as the right one,could be just that i have weird ears. My q35s are good but the nc on the liberty 4nc is wayyy stronger
@@flick4556 My ears need different sized tips (think that’s what they’re called). Just tried the new C30i open earbuds, but I unfortunately couldn’t get them to fit.
@@flick4556Liberty 4 NC just seal poorly and don't fit well. Shame, because they're not bad for the price.
I ordered soundcore Q45s today
Haha sold it got bose Q45s
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Guess what day it is?
It's been a while since anyone asked me that haha
Random question, but is Nate O'Brien your brother? Used to watch him a lot a while back so just curious.
Great video! Definitely want more clarity than bass, bass is great but... Adelle songs don't have much bass
The Soundcore Space one's sound muffled outside.. But the noise reduction on backround sound is very nice.
Great video and dope list
Thanks!
Which one of these have a better deep bass sound than the old One Odio studio pro50 ?
Which is better JBL live 770nc or sony xm4?
Any conclusion?
is the soundcore one good for gaming and surrounding sounds ?
Hey Mike. I know it's been two months since you added this video, but I surely hope you will be able to answer my question. My biggest concern on choosing headphones is definitely heat. In the "comfort" section of this video, you don't talk that much about it, so here's my question. Which one of all the headphones you have tested under 200$, whether it's one in this video or not, has the least tendency to get hot? Actually if you could give me a top 3 I would really appreciate it. I want to use them for movie watching at home.
Awfully exaggerated review for the ult wear. I have them and have my fair share of bass headphones. They are NOT that crazy and you make it seem like it's more than it really is. I don't think you've been around bass much if you consider these to be mind blowing.
I think the soundcore is honestly the best looking but thats just me
Edit: peeps with long hair, be wary of beats. They regularly pull out 4-5 hairs each side taking them off.
Which S24 Ultra case is that at 6:23?
I believe that was my Andar S24 Ultra case
I thought they all sounded better outside for the microphone test 😂
If you are looking for a headphone under 100 dollars and you don't care about it being wireless and having noise canceling, buy the Philips shp 9600. It is open-back, and the drivers and sound quality are a lot better than any of these(except the senheisers I think). They have a pretty flat frequency response compared to these, so unlike these, they are not cranking up the bass and treble to the high heavens
Hey. Why haven't you used skull candy in any headphone comparison?
I actually just picked up the JBLs a few days ago. Debated for a while, but was sold on the price, features, and battery life.
How do they sound ? And what music do u listen to
@@nicolescutiberiu840 Definitely not the most impressive sound, but solid for the price and features. I listen to a good range of genres, but mostly alternative, pop, hip-hop, and r&b. I can make out the different instruments pretty well with these on, but I won’t say the spacing is the best I’ve heard. The standard EQ felt lacking to me personally, but I’ve stuck to the Bass EQ preset and can’t complain. I also listen at about 50% on all my headphones, and they’re plenty loud at that level.
Ok Mike, I like you and your vids for the most part, but I think I'm just over phones and earphones... I mean the cost a bit to do with it, as 1000 for a phone is just a big turn off for me, and if I'm only buying phones to use as a handheld desktop to to do media transfers... ??? I can see talking about best case scenarios, but 200 for any headphones with so much out there seems a bit crazy to me.
I do appreciate which one gives me best sound when I'm listening to music as a focus, but I feel like your time would be better spent on which is best for helmets with Electric Bikes in different situations, and then whats worth the price.
I really appreciated the vid on the bikes, and am looking for one that can hold my weight and which is best for seniors, going to stores, to work, etc., other wise I'm very interestred in what would be best listeniing expeerience when riding as some can be very loud, yet unsafe if noise caceling was used. So a couple years back I ended up with a mic and ear set that goes into a motorcycle helmet, and it would be nice to see some comparisons on those, but I may be losing my hearing lol... so UGH, I say we force the price down... 125.00 should be for the best of the best, and around 75 for those who can want the bells and whistles, but otherwise, I just want to be able to hear the song I'm listening to without a bunch of distortion. and I have plenty of those that coast were almost free from a grab bag.
Oh, I did just start editing and like good head phones sound during that, and voice playback of myself... Thanks
