Bass-y when it needs to be and the noise cancelling works pretty well for a budget pair of headphones. All in all two thumbs up from me so far for how I use them.

I prefer the edifier for android devices. With LDAC and tons of customization options in some apps and you also can tweak those options in the developer settings which boost the volume and audio quality by a significant amount. Note: For people with DolbyAtmos on their phone i recommend turning it off, it interfere with the ANC and the sound quality.
Awesome video, awesome comparison.

Thanks for this review it was awesome i was stuck on a good pair of over ear headphones as I’ve always only ever had in ear headphones and usually just apple but one hard stomp or a knock and those things can come flying out then you’re off to buy another pair, I’ve always been happy with their ANC so I’m hoping the edifier comes close After watching your review I decided to go for them and being better then the 1more they where cheaper on Amazon so I third I’d go for them! Thanks I’ve subbed now I’m onto another of your videos😂

@insidetechltd
8 ай бұрын
Thank you! So there is a difference and the XB910N leak a little bit more - but I actually think it’s because of the sound difference. The more bass-heavy sound is easier to hear, so maybe if you tuned the headphones to have the same sound then the leakage would be similar? It’s not a huge difference either way
was looking for something exactly like this. after watching some other videos comparing the space one with the space q45 I'll buy the space one now. hopefully gonna arrive in a few and gonna be good.

I got a set of renewed Sennheiser HD450BTs for $99 and added a set of aftermarket earcups. They now sit on my ears like a cloud. I'm not afraid of renewed products because they're tested out and I usually don't have any problems. you'd have to spend about twice as much to get anything noticably better.
Great Video. I'm ready to pull the trigger on the Soundcore Space One, but i have a question maybe you can answer. They say it can connect with AUX, i assume that is the 3.5mm cord. Can this method be used if the battery was dead?

I have big ears big head no issue with the cups or pads the Comfort was okay extremely heavy user use them for hours even fell asleep in them a couple of times great for earmuffs for the winter time works well in -35.40 Celsius. Yes it does get very hot you are very correct about that and the controls where pretty annoying upgraded to the Sennheiser momentum 4 night and day far more Superior. Really great in-depth video. PS in my old Sennheiser BT 450 special edition I fried the ANC the second year in when snow showing LOL the sweat from my ear shorted out the ANC so I just turned it off and used passive mode😂

I might be one of those people who has been listening on repeat lately 😅
I own Sennheiser 4.40BT for 5 years now. They are basically identical to 350BT, tho they have AUX and MicroUSB instead of Type C. What I love the most about them is that they are built like a tank. They've fallen multiple times on a concrete, sometimes at speed and only have some scratches on them. Battery life is solid. They fit me well, but in the summer they tend to be on a warmer side. Definitely try them on as headband might be a bit hard for some. Oh yeah, the sound quality is really good. If 350s are like that then I highly recommend them.

@@cyclops9202 i spent the entire lockdown wearing these for online meetings and lectures. No one really complained about my mic quality and I could hear everyone perfectly well. I still use em for long calls and I've not really had issues. The "side tone" feature is a bit unique, you can hear yourself and your surroundings too. Could get annoying if you're in a loud environment as environmental noises will come through. It was kinda a useful feature for me as it helped me understand if i needed to move/shift I was having a conversation with someone as I know how i sound to them(if that makes sense). As for the ear cups, they used to feel really warm on the ears after an hour of use and after 2 hours I would start feeling uncomfortable. However the pleather that covers the cushions wore off in a year-ish worth of heavy use and now they are much more comfortable. The sound leaks more now too, but only at louder volumes. However, more than sound leakage, it's the overall volume that might be a problem for some. For other headphones I'm usually around the 50-60% level of volume for normal use and 70-80% if I want the sound to feel loud, on the Sennheisers, 60-70% feels normal and 80-90 starts feeling loud-ish. If you're used to listening to stuff at lower volumes, then the Sennheiser will not cause any issues. I especially noticed this when I travelled on a train and I could hear the people around me even though the volume was at 100% volume.
