Bang And Olufsen Noise Cancelling Headphones Vs Sony

Ive had several other noise cancelling headphones by Bose (QC35 II) and Beats (Studio Wireless) and I always hailed Bose as king of Noise Cancelling headphones. Now the only thing that Bose has over Sony is the durability of the headphones, my Bose headphones I could pretty much bend however I wanted and they wouldn't break. The Sony's are a bit more stiff, but the material is still premium! I originally went with Bose because of their comfort though, I like to wear my headphones for an extended period of time and the old Sony's (XM1 and XM2) got uncomfortable after a few hours. With the new design however, I can see myself wearing these all day! What does Sony have to offer that's better than Bose? - Noise cancelling (much better) - Sound quality - Battery life - Customization through app - Accessories (better quality auxiliary charger cords, as well as a good airplane adapter!!) - USB-C Charger!!! (as a MacBook Pro owner this was a must, I hated micro-usb so much) - Comfort? (I'm still testing this out but ill update in a few weeks if its better or on-par with the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii)

Have 2 other Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones over the years and I always felt somewhat disappointed in the quality of the noise cancelling, but figured this is what it is. Now I know differently. These Sony headphones literally shut down nearly all the noise where I can't hear anyone talking to me and priced reasonably, unlike the Bose or Apple headphones.

I bought the headphones along with the Bose QC35ii, Beats Studio 3, and Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H9 to see which I like more. They are all quality headphones but the Sony WH1000XM3 were the all around best. The tie breaker was the light weight headphones that fit my smaller head and cool features like cover the right ear cup to cut off the sound cancelling, swipe and down for sound control. It was easy to set up the bluetooth and the battery lasts a long time. The connection to Google Assistant is a convenient feature.

After much deliberation w bought a Sony system to replace the aging Bang & Olufsen. The sub component is beautifully made and weighs a ton which fills me with confidence....anything lightweight is going to be tinny. I also think it it is quite beautiful (unlike the big box that came with my sister in laws BOSE system). I liked the look of it so much I wanted to put it on display. In the end though I found it worked best in a corner out of sight.

I went into B&H looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. The floor attendant told me that it would be mostly a toss-up between Sony and Bose for top-of-the-line equipment. I eventually settled on Sony because I was more interested in listening to natural voice than to bass and musical effects. So far so good. I am happy with the performance, which kept my ears protected during the 9-hour flight home.

I had an expensive wireless in ear headphones, but I needed something that was noise cancelling and didn't bother me inside the ear. Sony Wireless Noise Canceling headphones are PERFECT! It cancels out unwanted noise, I can ask Google to do things, I can talk on the phone and they are so comfortable over the ear. I love my new headphones!

The Sony XM4 headphones were so worth it! The noise cancelling is amazing and the sound is great too. In a study space where there is a lot of noise, these headphones really help me focus. They are worth every penny!

Those are the best noise cancelling headphones on the market right now i have the Bose QC35 but Sony did an better much better job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I have owned a number of over the ear headphones from a number of different brands, these wireless noise-cancelling headphones from Sony are the absolute best! The noise cancelling function (this is my first pair of headphones with that feature) is no gimmick - it really works! Now I can focus on the great sound rather than external noise, and in a house with young children, there is a lot of distracting noise! The noise cancelling feature, as with many of the features, is adaptive, so it takes into account your surroundings which is really cool. I was blown away by how light these headphones are too! That they are lightweight combined with incredibly soft ear cushions makes for a really comfortable pair of headphones that can be worn for extended periods without ear or other discomfort. The battery life is phenomenal and the app works fantastically. You can even take a picture of your ears to customize the audio features with some of the high quality music streaming services (which you get a nice free trial). It really does make a difference. The case is also convenient and slim as well and is firm enough on the outside that it protects the headphones. Overall, this is an awesome product that is lightweight, super comfortable, portable with great battery life, and of course, offers excellent sound with noticeable noise cancellation. I can't thank Sony enough!

I am very happy with the sound and noise cancelling. They are also very comfortable and lighter than my previous Sony headphones. Worth the extra money.
