Bose QC Headphones Vs Sennheiser Momentum 4 - Comfort Over Everything?

[@nitind]

The problem with testing comfort while wearing a hat is that it's only valid for someone who's also wearing a hat.

[@ezrapardede1921]

well he's adding a variable that matters to him, and that matters to someone who wore hat while using headphones, there's no bad things in here, I'm pretty sure he test it without the hat as well, he just doesn't show it

[@josefharrison9036]

​@@ezrapardede1921Giving him too much credit tbh. This is the same guy who has said the average weight of a set of ANC headphones is around 280 grams, while knowingly including the outlier that is the Airpods Max in that average to skew the results. Most other ANC headphones are in the 250g range, give or take.

[@mikefraser4513]

I'm least worried about the weight (altho the Apple Air Pods Pro are 385g which was a no-go). What is very important for me is how tight they are on the ears. (They can have the best sound in the world, doesn't matter then). I sent back the Air Pods and Beats Solo because of this reason. I don't want to feel as if after 2 hours my head is in a vice.....especially when I'm wearing glasses. So is the Sennheiser the better choice in my case?

Personally would you pick the bose qc or xm4 for a long flight? Thank you!

[@fnufnu4625]

Thank you for your reviews, they have been very helpful

[@stephenp.harris5050]

I know these headphones are for noise cancelling & listening thru a phone, but can either of these be used to connect to my smart TV for watching TV, watching movies, viewing videos? If not, which Bose or Sennheiser models are good for what i want?

[@nightcoreshoya3196]

Any Bluetooth headphones can connect to TV

[@SaschaRobitzki]

All Bluetooth models can do that.

[@TheBigb1973]

Are sonys still the best ANC?

[@ezrapardede1921]

according to his review, the Bose beats the XM5 , but different ears still could vary a different results, lets say they're on average still comparable, and both are still comparable to the 2x more expensive to the Airpods Max

[@thelivingmiracle]

What would yall recommend I do? I have always gone with Bose because of the ANC, and I am looking at getting these Quietcomfort headphones as my next pair. But with the battery life on the 4s, is it worth sacrificing the Bose ANC for the Momentum battery life?

[@normhardy]

I think it is worth choosing the Bose over the M4. I did.

[@MightyFighter7]

I think logically the m4 are the better pick because of better battery life and sound quality. For me the biggest characteristic of a headphone is there sound quality especially up in these price ranges. I believe if you really care about ANC the most then sure go for the bose but I think you’re sacrificing a lot.

[@normhardy]

@@MightyFighter7 For my use, the Bose are better. The carrying case is smaller and the ANC is better for travel. The sound is great for my ears. I have it EQ'd to my older-age ears. It also has a special wind cancellation mode. But for home use on the desktop computer, I just bought a refurbished wired Sennheiser HD660S which blows me away with what I am hearing in them. $200 at the Sennheiser store.

[@teste-yh5df]

@@MightyFighter7 bose qc45 is better. Comfort over sound quality always. I have hifiman 400 SE if iwant sound quality

[@MightyFighter7]

@@teste-yh5df I agree with you now. I’ve been using headphones for a while and the sound quality doesn’t do much if they’re not comfortable to wear. Especially since I just use them to the gym.

[@diuran1919]

Bose pads disintegrate them self so fast, incredible fast in my opinion. Sound quality is poor in my opinion.

[@davidlai1996]

Now the Bose Quiet Comfort (QC) headphones are at $250, compared to their usually price of $350. Is it a good upgrade over the Sony WH-CH720N?

[@normhardy]

Most definitely.

[@Ray-rd7cy]

What does he mean by one can be used "passively" and one can't?

[@g33ktube]

Using passively implies that you can use the headphone as an old school one over the 3.5mm cable even after the battery runs out. Some headphones don't support such pure analog connectivity.

[@mitcho8666]

I bought the bose today for $297 aud. It is the sc model which was $150 cheaper literally for having a soft case and only black option. The momentum definitely sounded better imho after my testing today but bose had better anc and more comfortable. I just wish bose had slightly better sound quality.

[@SaschaRobitzki]

Great price!

[@patobrien8773]

Bought the Bose sc at JB for aud $148 and the Momentum 4 for aud$339. M4 sound and battery is superior Bose better for travel in terms of size.
