Thinking about getting a high end ANC set of over ear headphones. Had originally considered the Beats Studio 3, mainly for the W1 chip. Having an iPhone, iPad, and an Apple TV. Tried them out at my local Best Buy, and while the sound quality was good, the ear cups were too small for my ears, and felt that would be an issue after some time. They also had others out to try. Including Bose Quiet Comfort 35, JBL Everest Elite 750, and the Sony WH-1000.
While I felt like the JBL felt like a solid pair of phones, especially for them being about $130 cheaper, I wasn’t sure how good the ANC was, seeing as I could not turn it off. The Bose were nice. Solid construction, and the sound was nice.
The reason I am leaning towards the Sony is this. Controls. Only 2 buttons, power and Noise cancellation. Volume control, track control, and call control are touch on the right ear cup. Also, covering the right ear cup will stop the ANC for a moment if someone is talking to you.
Also, when I was looking at the Beats, the salesman said he recommended the Beats or the Sony. Beats, mainly for the Apple integration, and Sony, because, in his opinion, they had the best sound.
Anyone have any thoughts? I know, it’s my choice, and I probably will get the Sony’s. I just wanted to see others thoughts.
Side note: saw the Beats on sale last summer for $100 off, and if I saw that again, I’d jump on that.
