@xanira6367 2 года назад

it was difficult to hear the differences between the airpods and the sonys, but the bose were much narrower and tinny sounding. the B&O headphones were far ahead of the airpods, much wider and separated sound, they almost sound like speakers in the way that they dont sound so claustrophobic like headphones typically do. the classical piece on the B&O headphones is spot on, as someone who has played Violin/Viola for 10+ years, and attended many concerts. i dont think the airpods are bad at all, and theye certainly better than both the bose and sony, but both of the B&O headphones just blow them out of the water. (listened on sennheiser hd660s)

@jimmygoodson Год назад

@@raymondnafouti6451 It could just be a trained ear type of thing or maybe he didn't listen to them long enough or with the right kind of music. My hope is that the H95s really do outperform the AirPods Max. The H95s price tag sure does and I just purchased them today so I have high hopes. Based on what the majority of people say though, the H95s are in a class of their own. I have to say though, this comparison was interesting and funny/entertaining to watch.

@MisterGonzilla 8 месяцев назад

⁠@@jimmygoodson 5 months later, how do you like the B&O?

@jimmygoodson 8 месяцев назад

@@MisterGonzilla I ended up returning them. They sounded decent for the most part and I loved the controls but they were a little on the quiet side and had a hard time reproducing certain game sound effects to the point it sounded harsh to my ears. All of that combined with their price tag prompted me to return them. I instead went with the B&W Px8. Also picked up the Focal Bathys cause I couldn't help myself. Both are awesome pairs of headphones and are a couple hundred dollars cheaper. Oh and the H95s, while they have fantastic build quality, the clamping force is no joke. I could ignore it for some time but eventually I just wanted to take them off. The thought of putting them back on just reminded me of the pain I'd have to endure lol.

@stephaniemoura9325 2 месяца назад

You deserve more for the effort you are putting into this

@hliasunknown 3 года назад

Well even if he put more effort in this than others doesn't mean he proven something, if he wanted to do this right he would pick the Sony XM4 and Air Pod Max first test them with Bluetooth to see which one perform best then use a Soundcard to see how they perform in ideal setup and lastly with a laptop. AND if airpod max is better on all 3 of them then that would show that it is superior on sound quality than XM4s but they are not in the same price bracket, that means that even if the air pod max is better its on different price point so they both are best for their price/category NCWH(Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones)kinda. So yea he had the tools but he didn't make a justice for all uses, the primary is Bluetooth and the secondary is Cable and lastly the ideal cable with soundcard. he covered only the cable on a laptops sound chip. There is possibility that this laptops chip was not perfectly balanced on the sound lets say so this review is not perfect cause he didn't tried the other 2 methods i said. Plus he didn't tried to test the Mic quality, if he compared XM4 vs AIRPODMAX with Bluetooth and then only Mic quality test that would be perfect review cause that's how those headphones are meant to be used, so the cable and the soundcard are extras and he could use with and without noise canceling to see how it affects the soundquality etc. So the effort doesn't matter if it is kinda useless. :P

@Salar-ef9ei 3 года назад

@@hliasunknown I was looking for headphones a while back. Watched review after review. Only helped a little. This is the kind of review that actually helps while trying to make a decision about which one to buy. I ain't buying the airpods. I don't even have the xm4. But watching this review was a really good experience. Everyone can give an opinion on how to make this review even better but only few can actually do it. If this review seems useless I don't even know what the rest of the reviews on RU-vid should be called.

@swipekonnect 3 года назад

maybe here's how apple works: first it decides the sell rate say x units per month, then it calculates the price that can achieve that rate, then it decides where to splurge / cut corners etc (and this is done for the entire roadmap)

@marlonmesias75 3 года назад

@@hliasunknown bro, I understand they are not on the same price. But you have to consider the built quality and the materials the Max are using. And the way it looks..

@hliasunknown 3 года назад

@@marlonmesias75 The materials apple used are heavier than XM4s, and everyone is talking about how it's uncomfortable when you walk around. As for the durability we don't know yet, already everyone is worried about the soft aluminum that it can be scratched, the earcup adjuster plus spring and head band. It doesn't look better than XM4s for me, plus all i care about is Sound quality and durability on the long run. For some people metal materials are premium for others is durability overall, and even how it looks is subjective i prefer black and not standing out headphones, especially if its for outdoor use. As for the ON/OFF problem with the case lets hope that apple will fix it from 2hour+ for ultra battery save to 5-20min when you remove the headphones, they could just make a button for it but anyways... That's extra bucks to buy a case for the headphones if you want something to put them in, because the one apple provides is useless for the headband and the earcup adjuster protection, no idea how its called. For Example: Anker Life Q30 Hybrid 80-100 € Sony WH-1000XM3 250+ € Sony WH-1000XM4 300 € Apple AirPodMax 650-700 € as you can see they do not compete on the same price point the difference is not big in sound quality to justify the price, as for comfort they are heavier and not as comfortable when you walk plus we don't know their endurance on the long run yet, so are they worth their price? is up to you to decide. You can't really compare Anker Life Q30 with XM4 cause they are x3 the price, same with AirPodMax they are double the price of XM4s without a nice case and audio jack cable and they take more space than the XM4s in their case. So if you buy a case + the cable you will go even higher in price and it will take even bigger space. If apple wanted to make a better product they had to compete in the same price as the XM4s or atleast close to it. The products are rated based on their prices, usually there is no bad product when their price is right. And yes i think that AirPodMax doesn't worth their price but they do not have a competitor on that price bracket as a Wireless Noise canceling headphones so if they are the best they might aswell get as much money as they can from their costumers that's their speciality anyways. And because of that, sony might aswell charge more money for their next XM5s cause as old people say, if you give a free potato to someone they will not appreciate it without a price tag on it, so if you put a high price people will give that potato even more value the higher the price the more they will want it. so as long as you have the best you can put whatever price you want and people will still pay for it the only reason for someone to drop the price is to compete usually, something apple doesn't want cause all they do is increase the prices cause they can and in the end we will pay more for the next XM5s lets say cause sony will realize that even the casual buyers are now willing to pay more. So as long as you have something others don't you can increase the price of a product and if people agree to pay for that then everyone will follow because in the end all of them want more money, and apple ofc will increase the price as much as they can.

Take a bow Brian. This is one of the best review’s I have seen in a very long time. BTW, I did not even forward 10 Seconds and listened to the complete review. The tool is very good and your attention to detail is just amazing. This is how a review should be done.

@alexkhan2000 2 года назад

I recently got the B&O Beoplay H95 even though I've had the the AirPods Max for several months now. I like the APM but I don't love it. Overall, it's a major improvement across the board over the Sony WH-1000XM3 that I've had for several years for business travel purposes. That being said, there is moisture condensation issue in the ear cups with the APM after about an hour or more of use, which is very annoying. It's also not as comfortable as I thought it'd be. The clamping press is tighter than I expected and more so than the Sony XM3 and the Bose QC35 I've owned in the past. Sound quality wise, the APM is really good as is the ANC and the transparent listening feature. It's a balanced sound and has good resolution from top to bottom without any emphasis on specific frequency range. This being said, I find the APM's sound a little "dense" and I'm used to the very spacious sound, soundstage and imaging of my TOTL wired audiophile headphones like the Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC, RAAL SR1a, Abyss Diana Phi, Audeze LCDi4, and the JH Audio Layla custom IEM. Already having spent a luxury car's worth of headphones, DACs, amps and cables, I decided to give the B&O H95 a try and received it a few days ago. Overall, I'm very happy I got the H95 and find it a noticeable improvement over the APM in almost every way except for transparent listening. Of course, it doesn't integrate quite seamlessly with my Apple gear like the APM but, for me, it's about the sound quality, ANC and comfort for this type of headphone and the H95 totally delivers on those fronts. Compared to the APM, the sound is much more spacious with substantially greater separation between the different instruments and improved imaging and slightly greater resolution across the entire sonic spectrum. I really don't think the binaural comparison does it justice. You really have to hear them side by side on your head with your own ears to come to a meaningful conclusion. These tests and comparisons provide some basic idea on the tonality of the headphones but not a good sense of the soundstage, imaging and other finer details. The H95 sounds noticeably more pristine and airy in the highs while deeper on the bass with a nice integration of the mids. The separation between the instruments is wider with pinpoint placements so you hear them in their own space and not on top of each other. The H95 reminded me a lot of the Abyss headphones I have. Of course, it's just not in the same league of those wired headphones being driven by expensive DACs and amps connected by high-end cables but, for ANC wireless, it's really, really nice. It gets in the audiophile territory although I wouldn't call it that. Is it worth $849? That is up to the beholder and just how much you value the sound quality. The ANC feature on the H95 is better than I expected. I read that it has improved with firmware updates recently and I find it on par with the APM and the XM3, which I still have around although it's basically my son's now. I have no interest in Sony and Bose anymore. Been there, done that. They're good and nothing to really complain about but, to me, the Bose sound is bland and the Sony just doesn't sound natural - especially for genres like classical, jazz, acoustic and vocal music that I listen to most of the time. The only time I listen to rock, pop, metal and EDM is when I work at the gym with earbuds. Anyway, very happy with the H95 and I'll still keep the APM but it just won't get used as much. What it comes down to is that I like the APM but I really love the H95.

@alexkhan2000 2 года назад

@@alexsmith1207 I tried the H95 with my Chord Electronics Hugo M-Scaler up-sampler and TT2 DAC/headphone amp yesterday and it does definitely sound better than Bluetooth but that's to be expected. Wired will always sound better with a good setup than BT. I have not yet tried connecting the APM to my setup with the Apple 3.5mm audio jack to Lightning but I plan to try soon. I hear more of everything with wired - better resolution, detail and clarity, slightly expanded soundstage, improved imaging, etc. But going back to BT wireless is not as big of a degradation as I thought. The wired H95 can hang with my TOTL audiophile headphones through the Chord setup. I'm very impressed.

@ds_7 3 года назад

Another thing: (1) The earphones all need to be placed on the microphone the same way, since it affects which speakers you hear more, which was clearly not the case in the Beoplay H9 demo, and (2) putting different parts of the song makes it harder to hear the difference since you can’t compare the same sounds.

The AirPods Max and B&O H95 comes very close in sound quality. The only difference is that the vocal clarity in H95 is a lot more prestine, open and well defined compared to the AirPods max. They are both good either way if the price difference is not an issue. But with. battery life and design, I will go to the Bang & Olufsen. It is the brand that I am familiar with at home when it comes to audio. Very good review i have to say. Well done.

@TheEtbetween Год назад

Excellent point! Definitely agree

@ToooFastTim Год назад

I agree. I listened on Astro A40's which is by no means ideal but could definitely tell how much better the H95 sounded next to the AirPod Max. The detail in the highs and separation are on another level. It stood out most to me from 36:30 - 36:40. I even felt the bass had more presence on the H95 but that was less noticable. Overall H95 comparison made the AirPods sound muddy imo, but almost twice the price so.

@Eleventhearlofmars Год назад

@@ToooFastTim I love the sound on both the H95 and the APM. I found the APM more comfortable for longer listening periods but the H95 are just so stylish looking as well. I own other B&O headphones and all have the signature B&O sound but the H95 have been tweaked to sound better than the H9 3rd gen . Money wise they are a nightmare to keep buying though but I’m a headphone geek and I don’t care lol.

Wow…impressive video! Did help me hear the quality of my soon to be new AirPods Max, especially since I know the Beoplay 95 well… Thank you for all the work you put into this video!

I bought a pair in silver. Great sound, features, materials/construction. My last pair were Sony, that kept on braking along the plastic ear hanger hinge. Other sets felt cheap/plastics. I already have other Apple ecosystem products. Seamless integration works well right out of the box. Spatial audio sounds cool too.

Thanks so much for the overwhelming positive responses to this BEAST of a review. Here's additional Infor for the AirPods Max: These are the audio format supported by the AirPods Max. They are the same formats supported on the iPhone or iPad: AAC‑LC HE‑AAC HE‑AAC v2 Protected AAC MP3 Linear PCM Apple Lossless FLAC Dolby Digital (AC‑3) Dolby Digital Plus (E‑AC‑3) Dolby Atmos and Audible formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+ AirPods Max also supports all formats from the BlueTooth specification: SBC mSBC CVSD AAC-LC For Spatial Audio AirPods Max only use AAC-ELD

@Wishwader 3 года назад

I read that Sony doesn’t handle high res audio well over Bluetooth - it makes the connection unreliable especially with Sony’s own format. Does this hold true for Apple too with higher quality formats?

Listened to this on my H9’s and the Max clearly superior, surprisingly so until the H95. Those are on another level. Huge difference in soundstage and PRaT, they just had a sharper attack with each note lending to a cleaner overall presentation. Well done review man 👏🏼👍🏼

@ImInYourBrains 3 года назад

Fyi, for those who arent familiar with binaural microphones, you have to be careful how you view these results. Without accurately simulating the ear canal shape and the material of the ear (skin, tissue, etc), you wont be able to accurately simulate what the human will hear. This is why this device isnt actually used as a scientific headphone audio measurement tool. Such tools cost $10,000+ . So dont expect what you hear in this video coming from the headphones to be what you will actually hear when you get a pair of your own. But, you can get a general idea about differences between the outputs of the headphones. You can determine which has more base, mid, treble and you can hear which has better clarity and seperation. So if you are like, "I like the sound of the AirPod Max better," then you are fooling yourself. If on the other hand, you are like, "I can hear more details and better seperation in the AirPod Max and I value that a lot," then you are indeed using this video to better inform your purchase decision.

@historical_lisa315 3 года назад

The B&O felt live--like the music was “present” almost like the instruments and voice was coming from immediately in my head. The AirPods held their own, though, for the most part.

@YourMajestyTheKing 3 года назад

The way that you described it fits more with In-Ear monitoring headsets. Which i did compare between H95 with. With In-Ear, you hear much more accurate re-production of the instruments' sound. But the one that i have Shure 846 loses the soundstage.

@claudiabailey5302 3 года назад

yeh i've got a b&o soundbar the soundstage is awesome and i recommend that to anyone if they looking for a new soundbar /hifi i bet the headphones are awesome but abit pricey for me considering the soundbar wasnt much more lol

@YourMajestyTheKing 3 года назад

@@Anon1370 yeah i looked into it. but i think that my future set up would be a short throw projector and hopefully an Airpods Max Surround sound compatible Apple TV

@davidbannister671 2 года назад

I just finished watching this review on my new AirPods max, and found it extremely informative and interesting! Having been a B&O owner from the late 1970s (not headphones), I was very interested to hear how they compared. At the top level, both were impressive. Thanks for your great work on this.

Amazing review. I watched the entire thing with my Airpod pros because I’ve been thinking about which over ear ANC headphones I want and I’ve watched countless reviews but it was so great being able to actually hear the differences without actually going to a store and trying them out or buying and maybe returning a few different pairs. Subscribed, thanks so much Brian!
