Sony Xm5 Headphones Vs Bose 700

Best ever headphones. The noice cancelling is much better that’s the Bose 700 thingies. Everything is better.

Great pair of cans. Best and headphones way better than the bose 35s and 700 by a mile

This is exactly the cable I needed to allow me to use my Bose 700 NC headphones with my iPhone without draining my battery or needing an adapter. And the volume and play/pause buttons work perfectly so I still have the player control I wanted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are like me, you're deciding between these 1000XM4's or the Bose 700, and after using both, I can definitely see the appeal in these. Battery life and ANC are stellar in these sets of headphones, and audio quality is great as well! Design is rather subdued, but in a good way. These are comfortable headphones with ample padding without getting too heavy, and a case that makes it smaller to pack than the Bose 700. I wish these Sonys had better audio pickup for phone calls, as it doesn't quite stack up to the 700s. What it does bring to the table is great overall package, specs to beat, and a good price to match. As for the comparisons between this or the Bose 700, you really can't go wrong with either, but it should end up being a design choice and whether or not call pickup quality is value high on your list.

One month review - excellent sound quality and comfort. I tried the xm5, bose qc 35, and qc 45, and Im very satisfied with the xm4's, it really comes down to personal preferences in re: ergonomics, but you cant go wrong with the m4.

The Sony Transmitter Works Flawlessly between my TV and Bose Noise Canceling 700 headphones. I can have the volume at the level I need to listen and others can have the volume they need. This is especially nice for my family so that I don't blast the TV too loud.

I prefer this over the XM5 because it's foldable for travel.

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)

I’ve had headphones ranging from Beats, Sony, Bose, skull candy etc. By far these for the price, the insane length of battery life, the lightweight feel and the leather ear pads for comfort makes these my favorite! And that quality sound is just icing on the cake! Superb job! HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend these to anyone!

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.
