Unboxing: Sony WI 1000XM2
131The Sony WI-1000XM2 are the newest model of the WI-1000X line. Improving on design more than hardware, their silicone neckband and carrying case look sleek and refined. Unfortunately, these headphones have a decreased battery life when compared to their predecessor, even if they charge slightly quicker. Their sound profile is also darker and lacks bass.
The Sony WI-1000XM2 are reasonably comfortable headphones. If you're on the go, their noise cancelling works well to cut the low rumble of plane and bus engines as well as speech. The silicone neckband is stable enough to be worn around the neck while exercising, although the earbuds can fall out with a few shakes. They aren't ideal for those looking for a more neutral sound. If you don't like their dark and veiled sound profile, you can tweak it using the EQ inside their companion app. Their high lag also makes them a poor choice for wireless gaming. When plugged into a controller using their cable, they'll receive audio only.
