I listened to the Sony & Marshall & the Marshall had better all around audio definition. The Marshall has a more analog warm tone and the Sony was more digital sharp to my ear. The build quality on the Marshall is unmatched. The Marshall’s also will hug a smaller head shape and won’t flip off your head and they are less costly. Marshall is more comfortable to me as well as the Sony’s feel too big. Marshall Wins.
Just returning sony after one day use,my tatronics has better call quality than sony xm4 ,sound quality of sony is better than tatronics,but not that great.Anc is very similar on both. Sony is $350 more than tatronics. With that price sony is not worth. I have marshall emberton ,it sounds amazing. I am giving a try on marshall headphone.
As for the quick listen feature on headphones - in my experience the person you are talking to thinks you still can't hear then, and it makes the conversation kinda awkward. I have the Sony WH-1000XM3, and it's just more polite to remove the headphones so people can tell they have your full attention. As an alternative I also have the Sony WF-1000XM3 ear buds, which I use at work with ambient sound on, and people have no issue talking to me even with the buds in, because they feel you can hear them. I am very happy with both XM3 headphones and buds. The single connection over blutooth really isn't an issue for me as I only use the buds with my phone, and the over ear for my PC at my desk. Both are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Highly recommended.
Same here, I always remove my WI 1000X even though I can just turn ambient sound on, I think it is also important to let people know they have your full attention.
1000xm3 all day everyday. Even thought they don’t feel luxurious due to the light plastic and no metal construction, they are extremely light weight and super comfortable with little clamping force. You will fall a sleep in these and sometimes forget you are wearing oversized things on your head walking around the house. I don’t care about eye catching metal build quality. If Sony did that they would be heavier and lot less comfortable on a long plane ride. The xm3 are more comfortable than xm2 who had little better build quality I would say. But as long as they can take a beating and won’t break (they won’t) even after long abuse and sleeping on the ear-cups of the couch. Sound quality is good and can be adjusted to your taste. I tried these and the 700 at bestbuy for hrs and I could not justify paying $50 more for the 700. No much difference in sound when the Sonys are adjusted to the genre you are listening to. If listening to hip hop or R&B Sony can ball there with bass to rival beats studio 3 but sounds noticeable better and more balancing overall while still rattling your head with bass. ANC was a significant enough win for the Sony over the 700 inside bestbuy and the headband design as it turned out is better for my use since I like to lay on the side of my head with the band/ear cup absorbing pressure/weight. The fact that it conforms and sticks to your skull makes it better if lying down with these than the 700.
Rob Wheeler xm3 don’t creek, at least not mine. Sound of plastic rubbing against you r hands or other material is not creekin Sony could have used metal and made is heavier, note clamping force and not comfortable. My ears never get hot in these.
wow, I got to say, you really did an excellent job covering basicS, to few advanced features. this really helped me decide cause you were able to show hands-on use , so i don't have to guess. THAAANK YOU MEN👏👍👍👍
I got the XM3s recently now that they are much cheaper with XM4s out. I gotta say, as a fellow bighead, they make me feel a bit like a teletubby. But I love everything else about it though. The slim profile of the Marshalls are enticing me now so I may just buy them and give it a go. Marshall suits my music tastes (rock, metal etc.) but I also like feeling some amount of bass. Why is this so hard?
The problem with the bose is the poor Bluetooth codes support, SBC on android and AAC on Apple is just not good enough for serious listening. I get that Soundcloud is fine but even than I can notice it. This also is the issue with the Sony, when you want to use the app features like the EQ, it kicks them back to SBC. Also the Bose midrange is weird.
Sound quality is the most important thing for me. Bose is too expensive. I'm gonna buy Marshall monitor ANC or akg nc700 m2. Which one should I prefer?
Hellll yeahhhh just got my monitor II anc. one word: CRAZY! Best headphones ive ever had period! I had the XM3 from Sony and its good but Marshalls are just made for the real music nerd. You can feel it and you can hear it. Get them if you can !
Yes, after 1 year and half using the m3, the hinge broke. Sad as I don’t have an anc headphone but not like I need them atm. Gonna find a replacement one later this year
The Marshall's are ON ears... I would always go with OVER ears. Just purchased the Sony 1000XM3 and they're awesome. And if you treat them good, they're gonna last long.
I own the XM3s and I really like them. I'm very hyped for the XM4s because when the XM3s came out, they destroyed every other headphones. I mean there was no other headphone which was compareable.
I have watched a lot of your headphones videos please could you tell me wish of this headphones is a green light way to buy I bought the beats but is really not a good idea for me
I assume he has some sort of job, and a family that he focus' most of his time on, and does this when he can, so he is able to make videos, but not able to spend time communicating with fans
Thanks for the great video! I’m trying to figure out if I want the Audio Technica ANC900BT or the Marshall Monitor 2 ANC? Which one do you think is better? Also, what kind of gimbal do you use to film?
6:31, sorry but Sony WH 1000 XM3 CAN be connected to multiple devices at one time. You just need to trigger the pairing mode by pressing & holding power button for 8 seconds & then connect your second device. It's stated in their online manual. Thank me later, LOL.
@@nicholasmapes I value clarity over bass , more into hearing the instruments around me then hearing loud bass with a nice tone, right now I’m listening to a lot of r n b like dvsn and Brent fiayez
Can you make a measurement of the ear cups about the bose 700? Expecially the space of the interior because I have large ears and I tried the sony and feels too small. Please let me know! Thanks
IMO The Marshalls don't belong in this comparison do to their very mediocre ANC. And isn't that the main reason why we're buying ANC headphones in the first place? I mean there are so many NON ANC headphones whose sound Blows all 3 of these units away.......
Jake Stone Fair call. Maybe they’re in as the only new set on the list. The ANC test may have them last, but in practice I find they do the job (granted, I rarely have the option of being completely oblivious to my surroundings). I also found the cabin pressure not as irritating on the Marshalls as the Bose (tested in store). Just my experience.
Have them for about two weeks and as GymCaddy said they're for android audiophile. I connected them via usb to my phone, bought Neutron Music Player, turn on all bells and whistles like oversample and DSD over PCM and Momentum plays godlike with amount of details I've never hear before.
I've had the opposite experience, granted, I have the regular monitor 2, but I've had them for several years and have only had to replace the ear pads (20 dollars to replace) I use them just about every day, and when I don't have them on they just get tossed in my bag.
With all respect, you cannot compare for 15 minutes the NFC, bluetooth, NC, straching, and all the bulshit specs, and leave at the end that ''if you prefer BETTER SOUND QUALITY, you should opt for X or Y" This should be the most important part.... THE SOUND!!! what can you do with it, what headphone is more appropriate to which type of usage ... how they perform at movies, how they perform at rock, how they perfom at EDMl! Very disaponted ... but anyway, nice to see that the sony still looks good after one year .. but how does it SOUND ????? I mean allright, you have worked a lot for this video ... but a more suggestive title would help alot! Do not take it in the wrong way, I spent 10 more just to write here so maybe you or somebody else can pick a relevant idea in the future ..... the SOUND! is so simple! ... the rest is just ....noise!
Xm3's best for day to day use, it should satisfy most of the people's need. Marshall's best for sound stsge separation more inclined towards audiophiles. 700''s ????? Only the a**h*les pay $300 for this piece of sh*t. I wouldn't even pay $50 for it.
I listened to the Sony & Marshall & the Marshall had better all around audio definition. The Marshall has a more analog warm tone and the Sony was more digital sharp to my ear.

I guess Marshall chose not to provide hardshell because of the build quality of the headphones and to maintain its compactness when traveling.

Creaky build though. Annoying and makes them feel unrefined despite the steep price.
Sweat like a pig in them, only connect to 1 device, plastic and creak, sound to muddy, bulky looking on your napper 😉
Rob Wheeler xm3 don’t creek, at least not mine. Sound of plastic rubbing against you r hands or other material is not creekin
Sony could have used metal and made is heavier, note clamping force and not comfortable.
My ears never get hot in these.
The marshalls sound the worst of these. This guy is bias or has bad sound taste

Excellent review. I wished you had made some mention about which earphones block out wind noise the best though.
For the rattle my head fans, put the sony in Club mode, go to EQ, turn on bass to +8 and up the high just a touch. You'll go deaf.
The problem with the bose is the poor Bluetooth codes support, SBC on android and AAC on Apple is just not good enough for serious listening. I get that Soundcloud is fine but even than I can notice it. This also is the issue with the Sony, when you want to use the app features like the EQ, it kicks them back to SBC.

Marshall has any bt codec built in.
Underrated review guy u should start reviewing all things broo
Sennheiser momentum 3 also deserve the list....
Can you please compare the Marshall monitor with momentum 3 please? 🙏
Marshall monitor is design and sennheiser is pretty good sound, your choice is welcome!
There's no comparison needed. Go with the Sennheiser's if those two are your options of choice.
The touch buttons of the Sony MX3 is a nightmare! I prefer physical buttons like the marshall's
what better? xm3 or marshall ANC? for better music quality
yes!
Hi, Thanks for the reviews. Are the Marshall earphones made with real leather? How do they compare with the B&W PX7 for comfort and sound? Thx
Marshall Confort 2 vs Bose 700 vs Bose CQ45!
Are you planing on reviewing H.ear On 3s? It would be nice to know.
XentimenT yes
Yes! We need this!
I like your anc test
So, I think it's safe to assume that you like the Sony xm3 more then any other headphone. I feel the same.
He’s a Sony fanboy , just because they have better noise cancelation by margin
@@evcanada1451 Sony is a lot lot better than Bose and marshal
Marshall look's great! And 45 hour's sound Amazing!
Great and thorough review, thank you!
Which one would you choose Marshall monitor 2 or Harman Kardon Fly anc

no, the marshall monitors are perfectly over ear, the marshall majors are indeed on ear

I still love my NC 700.
Ditto. The best headphones that I ever used, hands down.
Any reason for the lack of interaction between you and the fans? I rarely seeing you replying or responding to your viewers on the comment section
I assume he has some sort of job, and a family that he focus' most of his time on, and does this when he can, so he is able to make videos, but not able to spend time communicating with fans
Does the Marshall works without the app?
Are you planning to review the new Shure Aonic 50? It's the new ANC champion according to professional reviewers.
Thanks for the great video! I’m trying to figure out if I want the Audio Technica ANC900BT or the Marshall Monitor 2 ANC? Which one do you think is better? Also, what kind of gimbal do you use to film?

Compare it with Sennheiser momentum
They are on another league. Sh is superior in all departments
what app are you using
This is such a great review. Thanks

Thats still not what he means. The other headphones can be connected to 2 devices at the SAME TIME so you dont have to repair them.
Best sound quality between Bose and the marshalls ?? Still deciding which to get and the thing I care about the most is the sound quality
What kind of music do you listen to? Do you value low end volume, or mid - high end clarity?
@@nicholasmapes I value clarity over bass , more into hearing the instruments around me then hearing loud bass with a nice tone, right now I’m listening to a lot of r n b like dvsn and Brent fiayez
@@ivanaramburo4030 I think the Marshall's will serve you well. Very balanced between low, mids and highs
Watching it with my XM4s, stoned...
... thinking I'm having some damm good headphones
is the Marshall ii over ear or on ear?
somewhere it says one and somewhere it says other.
They are over ear its the Marshall Major that is on ear
Bose are good, just NOT worth the money...
Do you have replacement covers for the marshall speakers??
how do you record the noise cancelled signal?
I am planning to buy the m3 for the gym, specifically, the grays but I do not know if they get dirty easily or better I go for the blacks
I don't recommend you to buy them specially for work out. But if you want, I think the black ones are better
You will sweat like a pig in them, best off with Quietcomfort 35 ii for gym
Yo tengo unos major 2, y el sonido está súper no se como se escucha la competencia pero quiero seguir con los Marshall major 4
Yo tengo los monitor (los primeros no los 2) y recien ahora después de 7 años se me dañaron. Creo que los marshall son un golaso
Creen que Sigue vigentes los Marshall Monitor Ii en 2024??
ESTOY entre estos y los Audio Technica M50xBT2

Że zatykają Ci się uszy i trzeba je odtykać, tak jak podczas np wjeżdżania w góry ;)
anc creates a vaccum effect
Daily driver says it all.
So now what .... ?
What ti buy ??

You can get the nc 700 for 300 at verizon best deal ever
Helpful review champion.. 👍🇦🇺
Can you please do a review on edifier W860NB.?
You dont need a review. Go buy them for 150 they are just the best out there
Are these Marshalls water resistant?
Go sennheiser boys.
Should the boys go momentum 3, to be specific?
Have them for about two weeks and as GymCaddy said they're for android audiophile. I connected them via usb to my phone, bought Neutron Music Player, turn on all bells and whistles like oversample and DSD over PCM and Momentum plays godlike with amount of details I've never hear before.
@@mariusbeliciu just ordered PXC 550 II. I have XM4 right now so I will compare them
Marshall is not even durable. That knob holds the useability of the headphone and mine got broken for less than a year.
I've had the opposite experience, granted, I have the regular monitor 2, but I've had them for several years and have only had to replace the ear pads (20 dollars to replace)
I use them just about every day, and when I don't have them on they just get tossed in my bag.
Mine lasted 7 years of almost every day use (the first Monitor Bluetooth, not the amc)
I heard that WH-1000XM3 got a software update of the microphone, you're sure that you have the latest software update on Sony's headphone?
It still doesnt hold much ground
Yes Sony usually does these stupid quirks with all of their products.
You look unhappy demoing the ANC.. 😗 🤖
