Bose Headphone Noise

Ordered it replace a Bose Headphone with Noise Cancelling. Very happy about the purchase, quite heavier than my previous headphone but the quality is there. Really like the possibility to modify the EQ with the app. I also use it to play guitar with my amplifier, great sound overall. I recommend

I am a Grado headphone addict. I need and demand the best sound production. I have never liked noise cancelling headphones. I considered them gimmicky. I own the Bose older 15’s. The sound was hollow and the noise cancellation technology hurst my ears. So I abandoned trying any others for four years. In anticipation of traveling, I overcame my reluctance with NC headphones after internet reviews, and sampled the new Bose 700 at their store. Overwhelming treble. Ouch! But better (not great) telephone call sound. Did not buy. Tried these from B & H. Wow! What makes these truly worth it: technology is subordinate to sound. Noise cancellation takes a back seat to sound production. I need the best sound. That’s why at home I listen with Grado cans. I refused to believe the overwhelmingly positive reviews of these Sonys until I tried them over two recent flights on a plane. The newest NC technology with Sony is a game changer. No ear pain! You can easily adjust the degree of noise cancellation with their iPhone app. You’ve got to see the options in that app. Customization of NC, sound equalizer and sound reference options! Now I know why Sony is cornering the NC headphone market. Terrific. Highly recommended. Don’t believe this review. Try it.

first of all, this is not a noise cancellation headphone. If you are looking for NC, go to Bose. However let's face this, under$, you could get a headphone quality is way better than beats or the main stream brands in the market, you better know where you put your money. Think about all the commercial those overrated headphone has, all those super star will cost money, and you will the one to pay for it. Have you seen any major commercial for this headphone? and why they are still popular among professional users, it's all common sense now.

I have an older Sony Noise Cancellation headphone and I decided to buy this new one. It is a real big improvement in quality and comfort. I strongly recommend it. Another option for me was Bose but I don't like the modern Bose 700 design.

I am a long time Bose noise cancelling headphone customer. This is my third pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones, my first pair was back in 1990 when my job required a lot of air travel. I am now retired from corporate life but my wife and I own a small online business. I run laser engravers as part of that business and the cooling and exhaust fans create about 70dB of background noise which can cause hearing loss with repeated exposure. In my case, this exposure is 3-4 hours per day so noise cancelling is a must. These headphones are amazing. I can enjoy listening to music, podcasts and more while I work and the fan noise is all but eliminated. I also use them with my Bose Smart Soundbar 600 when I want to watch a movie or sports game on TV while my wife is running sewing or embroidery machines in the open area next to our family room. On-headphone controls are easy and the Bose Music iOS app can be used to adjust equalization. Did I mention answering phone calls, easy with a single button click. I know this review may sound like I am a Bose "schill" but I am just a very satisfied customer over 3 decades of using and listening to Bose products.

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 have been a Bose headphone owner for a while now. When I opened the packaging I was immediately impressed with the lack of plastic. Way to go in helping the environment. I also LOVE the USB-C. Let's make the world a better place and standardize our cables. I also like the cushioned headband that wraps around nearly the entire width of the headphones. Pairing this headset was a breeze. I've paired hundreds of Bluetooth devices over the years, and this one just seemed intuitive with my Samsung Galaxy. I also loved the 3 active noise cancellation modes. Quite, Aware and Immersion Modes. I can see a good use case for each of these in my house and my travels. I did have to download a new Bose App, but that wasn't a big deal since my older headphones were discovered in the new app. These headphones looks sleek and smooth... I also love love love the volume adjustment strip. So cool. Thanks Bose, you hit it out the park on this one...

I use this with my Bose 24 Noise Canceling head set. Works great.

I have been using a pair of Bose AE headphone for a number of years so I was not sure what to expect. After I got them on for the first time the audio was clear and everything sounded wonderful. Now I am still getting used to them and breaking them in but so far they are wonderful. Now just to let people know, because of there simi open design, you will hear a lot more of the room. If you are in a noisy environment you will need to increase you volume. You may also want to invest in a quality headphone amp. Other then that these are a great investment for any studio.
