Two Very Completely different Siblings
There’s one other distinction you might have instantly noticed from the images 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 adjustments definitely affect the audio flavour offered, along with the actual fact they’re operating totally different {hardware}. The Dirac Virtuo Spatial of the M1000ANC is designed to provide an extra open sound than headphones often provide and certainly they achieve this very properly. There’s a toggle to allow or disable the function, one thing you might swap on and off relying on the music you’re listening to. The M1000ANC has been what I put on on the bus when headed forwards and backwards from work since I reviewed them, and I’ve are fairly a lot of headphones to selected from at this level.
The BT-600ANC then again 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’re 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 possibly can disable the Dirac function but it surely doesn’t fairly match the sensation you get from the BT-600. As Audio preferences as very private you’ll have to determine which sort of sound stage is best for you, nonetheless I’ve retired the M1000ANC in place of the BT-600.
The opposite big distinction is the ANC, which is by far simpler on the BT-600. This can be partially to the design of the earcups, because the microphone stays of such high quality and neither are really helpful for taking cellphone calls on … although you definitely have that alternative. The three ranges of ANC cycle modes on the click on of a swap, from off, to a low setting which is sweet for suppressing most background noise to excessive which is downright harmful in case you are strolling round. On excessive you just about received’t have any audio queues about your environment and even loud vehicles 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 the direction of the highest of the fitting 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 skin of the earcups. This enables to take care of cellphone calls, pause or resume a observe, skip forward or again and each incremental and steady quantity management. You can even quickly mute your audio and ANC by cupping the fitting exterior together with your palm, for those who run into somebody you really wish to discuss to.
General it’s fairly a little bit of headset for $100, however how does it stand as much as some stiffer competitors?
