Two Very Completely different Siblings
There’s one other distinction you might have instantly noticed from the photographs above; the M1000ANC has thinner padding than the BT-600ANC and makes use of skinny materials to cowl the drivers whereas the BT-600ANC makes use of mesh. These two modifications actually affect the audio flavour offered, along with the very fact they’re working completely different {hardware}. The Dirac Virtuo Spatial of the M1000ANC is designed to offer an extra open sound than headphones often supply and certainly they accomplish that very properly. There’s a toggle to allow or disable the characteristic, one thing it’s possible you’ll change on and off relying on the music you might be listening to. The M1000ANC has been what I put on on the bus when headed backwards and forwards from work since I reviewed them, and I’ve are fairly various headphones to selected from at this level.
The BT-600ANC however strikes the audio proper as much as your ears, as a substitute of sounding just like the band is sitting away from you, it sounds extra like you might be proper up there on stage with them. The bass turns into clearer however doesn’t overwhelm the mids and highs and in some methods makes the audio from the M1000ANC sound a bit washed out. You may disable the Dirac characteristic nevertheless it doesn’t fairly match the sensation you get from the BT-600. As Audio preferences as very private you’ll have to resolve which kind of sound stage is best for you, nevertheless I’ve retired the M1000ANC instead of the BT-600.
The opposite large distinction is the ANC, which is by far more practical on the BT-600. This can be partly to the design of the earcups, because the microphone stays of such high quality and neither are really useful for taking telephone calls on … although you actually have that alternative. The three ranges of ANC cycle modes on the click on of a change, from off, to a low setting which is nice for suppressing most background noise to excessive which is downright harmful in case you are strolling round. On excessive you just about gained’t have any audio queues about your environment and even loud vans can sneak up on you.
The BT-600 doesn’t want a toggle for Dirac which helps with the simplified controls. There are three rubberized buttons that management energy, pairing, and ANC degree, all clustered in direction of the highest of the proper earcup. That is a lot simpler to work with than the sliding ANC toggle on the BT-600, which is separated from the Dirac button which is separated from the facility/pairing button, and is a superior design. As with the M1000ANC there are haptic controls on the BT-600 activated by tapping or dragging your fingers on the surface of the earcups. This enables to cope with telephone calls, pause or resume a monitor, skip forward or again and each incremental and steady quantity management. You can too quickly mute your audio and ANC by cupping the proper exterior together with your palm, if you happen to run into somebody you really wish to discuss to.
Total it’s fairly a little bit of headset for $100, however how does it stand as much as some stiffer competitors?
