Analysis

Build Aspect

The Sony WI-1000XM2 are premium pair of neckband earphones. The build and fit-finish are truly impeccable, such is the quality of silicone and plastics used. Likewise they are supplied with as many as 7 pairs of ear-tips to help you get the best and most comfortable fitting. A bit of flair to the design language would have certainly increased the appeal of the earphones many-fold. Enough talk about design, how is the battery life? Its decent but not particularly impressing i.e., they last around 15 hours with the ANC off.

Performance Aspect

The audio performance of these neckband style earphones is spectacular. Its the mid range in particular which is fantastic. It manages to present audio subtleties with an extravagant flair which sounds not only natural but also full of depth and dynamics. Moreover the bass is very good, although it is a little less than ideal in the subsonic ranges it more than makes up for it by being intricately accurate and wholesome. Lastly the treble, it is not the prodigy we would usually associate with Sony, t0 put it crudely it is lacking. In more refined terms the highs loose steam very quickly and therefore sound dull. On the bright side sibilance is kept in check. All things considered these earphones are very good, but expensive too.

Also: Do view these Neckband earphones from Yamaha on Amazon before finalizing.

PROS

Solid built, premium looks.
Amazing call quality.
Good ANC.
Mesmerizing mids and high quality lows.

CONS

Dull treble and highs.
Disappointing battery life.
Pricey.
