So the ideal headphones would have the sound of the Momentum's, the microphone of the Bose and the noise cancelling of the Sony's. If only these companies would partner together...

A few notes after watching this excellent comparison. As someone that owns both the Sony's and Sennheiser's myself. The first being that using the equalizer on the Sony's drops the used codec from AAC/LDAC all the way down to SBC. For some reason you can't use anything but the default when using a codec with proper sound quality. You can do this just fine with the EQ on the Sennheiser, even tho that EQ is simpler by design. The second thing is the touch controls on the XM3's being obnoxiously poor if you live in a colder climate. If it's windy and the temp goes below about 5 degrees celcius, you will inevitable get phantom touches. Either your music will skip ahead, or attention mode gets randomly activated. It's extremely annoying (even more so if you're listening to podcasts or audiobooks) if you frequently use these outside in those kind of climates.

It's because the Sonys apply any EQ settings on all inputs. Don't use LDAC if you use the XM3s for watching movies though, the lag is horrendous. The Sony headphone app is a flaming mess.

The Sennheiser Momentum 3 aren't directly comparable to the other two. Look at the new Sennheiser 550 II if you want lightweight travel headphones. If you want audiophile sound and premium build quality, get the Sennheiser Momentum 3.

I bought the Momentum for 5 days and then returned it and exchange it to the MX3. To be honest, I love the sound from the Momentum and it's truly amazing. A bit pity that I have to do the exchange due to the reason that the Momentum is uncomfortable for me. I just can't have it for many hours. Maybe other people dont have this problem at all. Overall I would recommend the sennheiser for the sound quality if you don't have problem with the comfort. :)

(I own both the momentum's and sonys) By far the sennhieser momentum 3 beats the sonys sound wise... the anc is not as good as the sony but once you have music playing in addition to the great isolation due to the leather pads you won't be hearing anything. Personally I'll be taking the sonys back to the store, Purley due to the quality of sound between the two.

@Beattle Maniac - U must b using the wrong codecs on the Sony. I just bought the M3's, and the only thing the have sound wise over the Sony is a little wider soundstage, a bit deeper base. The Sony's when using the proper codecs, and the app are unbelievable ( much tighter bass also). Also, my new Senn's started distorting when I put 70% bass at max volume (my Sony's don't 😌). I'll admit, they do get louder, and I haven't burned them in all the way, but I am returning them today. If all the people commenting owned both models, set the Sony's to the highest bluetooth codecs, proper EQ settings, no way could justify spending $400 for so little.

@@bigcdub I will agree in part. There are no drastic differences in sound between these headphones, BUT, in M3 you can give more details, the bass is different, better than the one in Sony. The XM3 also sound very bassy. I tested both models with Galaxy s10 +, Sony with LDAC codec, no changes in EQ. Listening to music on M3 makes more pleasure, the sound is more unpredictable in a positive sense and if we add to this the phenomenal quality of M3 construction, there can be only one result :)

Meanwhile the m3s eq is intuitive and capable imo, little tweaks in the simple eq app go a long way.

@@kris2694 The sound signature of the two headphones are subjective to say the least, but if you have both models, then you know you can alter the bass signature in the Sony's drastically... I also have the S10+, and iPhone XSMax. I also listen to hi-rez audio files, with the EQ setting to "club" mode, no additional EQ, ANC OFF. The richness in the quality of the sound favors the Sony's. True, the Senn's have a better build quality, but the Sony's look better, have better ANC, and you can find them for around $200 now. Get your $400 back, keep the Sony's.

Great - then you're set - buy a pair of Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC and the amp to drive them and your quest is over. They are wired, make you look like Frankenstein, have no ANC or BT capability and cost an absolute bomb, but you wont need to capitalize anything when you order them. You can kick back and debate with the forum cognoscenti whether anything else comes close, but I guarantee you that very little of what we see on YT will touch them sonically. Seriously, for the money Sony/Bose/Sennheiser are asking here, they had damned well better be offering something *more* than sonics - if you have the luxury of only listening to headphones in quiet places, I wouldn't buy any of these. For those of us who DO have to deal with annoying chatterboxes and vehicle noise, this has to beat jamming Etys into the depths our ear canals.

I just got the SM3 yesterday. I chose it over XM4 and ANC 700 just because I need something that has good punchy bass while still maintaining good clarity. Some review says that the SM3 got incredible bass that the headphone literally physically vibrates on certain music, that review got me hyped. So I proceeded to buy one. As you can see, I was quite a bass lover (until my soul got purified by the sound of SM3 that is). At first, I was very, very, disappointed by the sound character of SM3. There is little to no bass at all, not remotely close to the expectations. I tried to burn it in for several hours, but no luck. I tried it wired, still sounds just okay-ish. My day was ruined. That is until I decided to listen to some hifi music. In an instant I feel like my soul got purged from evil. I realized I listened to music "the wrong way" all my life. I went from loving bass to avoiding it in matter of minutes. I realized those bassy music I have been listening to all this time are actually terrible. I can finally see, or rather hear, the beauty of hifi and/or audiophile music, even if I'm still just scratching the surface at this point. I'm aware that the SM3 is far from being the best, but I think it's a nice place to start for bass-junkies lover to learn about the true quality of music. Everything about the sound is just so incredible and it still has very nice punchy bass (which according to 1-day-ago-me was very lacking). At this point I know I've only reached the entry gateway to the world of audiophile, but I'm looking forward to explore more! Several things I noticed from the SM3 is that the ANC is very lacking as everyone mentioned, it's nowhere close to my Jabra elite 75t (earbuds), which is not even well-known for its noise cancelling. Also I can feel some pressure when the ANC is turned on and it does amplify the bass quite a lot. In overall, SM3 is really really fun to listen with. But of course you need proper source to enjoy it to the fullest. If you are new to the world of hifi headphone like me, spend some time to do your research before judging the quality at first try, you will not regret it. Personally, the only MASSIVE drawback of having a headphone at this level, is that every other audio devices I own, including the ones I recently bought, they now sound absolutely terrible when compared to the SM3. There is just no going back.

In my book, the Momentum 3's destroy the Bose and Sony for sound quality, but are competitive with the BW PX7. A hard-shell case that fits the Momentums like a glove is 12 dollars on Amazon... Yes it's sad that they give that sack-like thing, but a 3% increase in the overall cost wasn't exactly a deal-breaker for me and wouldn't be a part of my decision making process regarding where or how I travel.

Good review. As other have mentioned with the Sonys you drop out of LDAC if you're EQing, so while you can EQ frequency response, you're losing quality. I tried EQing down the bass on mine but they sounded like hot trash when I did. Also with LDAC what a lot of people don't realise it that you may not be getting the best quality by default (as you might assume) - it selects based on signal conditions (and in some phones seems to never go above the middle quality setting). You can force it into the highest via developer settings, but may have issues with more dropouts. Also AptX Low Latency is on the Senns, but I think neither of the others here, seems to be consistently missed in reviews. I like my Sonys for what they are, and they're the most fit for purpose for travel, but I don't listen to music on them (just video content) and will probably try the Senns for that reason for regular out and about stuff (at home I have little reason to listen to either with the Focal Utopia at hand).

Well, i own both ... the bose bc700 and the momentum 3 and i mist say. The momentum 3 in incomparable to the bose, they both great sound but the momentum 3 wins all the way by the way they sound and also by how comfy they are on your head, everything sounds better there and you can edit the equalizer so you’ll have more focus on the bass or treble or both, never had any headphones thats sound like that and they are AMAZING. How ever i have to say the ANC is not as good as the bose nc700 but its more than enough, the battery life is not an issue since i never finished the battery on both of them, i usually charge it over night and im not listening to music 17 hours or more in a whole day. Never tried the sony but without even trying i can say they will be let down compare to the momentum in terms of sound quality, tey might win on the ANC section but i usually use mine in a quite places like home or at the office. Anyway both nc and the momentum will give you a run for your money so just go with your feelings about that.

Just a bit annoying when people make a big deal out of Sony yet most testing doesn't get those 30 hours. Also for me personally thats more or less going to be 4-5 days of use.

Noise cancellation isn’t an issue between the Sonys and the 700s, they’re both powerful. But in the comfort category (and many others), I give it to the Bose 700. With the Bose 700 i had absolutely no discomfort or warming issue even after hours of wearing them, but with Sony 1000XM3 it takes 5-10 minutes for them to become uncomfortably warm around ears. It's all about material and breathability and while the Sony 1000XM3 have excellent noice cancellation, comfort is their weakness, enough for me to want to sell them.

I have the Bose and Sennheiser. The Sony are coming today. So far the Sennheisers play music awesome. I’m a hip hop & r&b fan. The bass is awesome. You can feel it but it doesn’t hurt your ears. I’ve heard things in songs with the Sennheiser that I’ve never heard with the Bose. The call quality sucks with Sennheiser as mentioned. Even your caller sounds amplified. There’s also lots of bugs with connection with the Sennheisers. Sennheiser will likely be returned. I want to be able to have a stable connection. I might have dealt with the phone calls, but that combined with the connection issues is the nail in the coffin. (Used with iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac). Also I took off the ear pads to clean and noticed the membrane on the headphones literally vibrates to the bass on the Sennheisers. It looks like an eardrum. Explains why the bass is so awesome.

Hello buddy! Thank you for a nice and very detailing comparing review. I think to buy a DALI- IO6,so i have a question can you recommend it over those 3 in your review for a daily use: listen a music,watching a videos,making and received a calls etc? Or I just have to be more patient until Sony-1000 MX4 appear on a market??? 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for your time. Regards from Ireland...

I got the Bose 700 and there's nothing like the slim design and ultra comfortable leather and silicone. I didn't have issues connecting and battery is incredible. I haven't charged it since I got it. The discomfort on the top of the head is a problem because they are designed to be worn mid-head but I wear them pretty far back. Wear them like they're designed and you won't have problems.

I wanted some wireless headphones for my Sony NW-WM1A (I know the device is designed primarily to be used with wired balanced headphones.. I got those too)... So I tried the Sony's 1000XM3 and Senn's Wireless Momentum 3... (it is important to highlight that the Hi-res player doesn't send any EQ setting through Bluetooth only the direct sound of the recordings)... I just much preferred the sound of the Senns... The Sony can't compete in sound quality without EQ.

@@mfbuisman4135 That's a really good thing. Wirelessly, your lossy codec audio files are being reprocessed by the Bluetooth transmitter using another lossy codec (APTX at best), and then re-re-processed by the Bluetooth receiver into analog. By connecting the USB, you get the original sound file delivered to a ESS DAC within the headphone and converted straight to analog, which is superior in every way to the Bluetooth stack. The headphone becomes a good USB soundcard. It's a notable benefit to the sound, charges while you listen, and is an extra cost in the design and production. Too bad Sennheiser doesn't go into the details in their advertising.

The band is a little more comfortable than the 2's, it's still thin, but not as much. They also don't have as much clamping force as the 2's so I hardly notice the band at all. Hope this helps!

I own both models (M3's and 1000xm3), use the highest bluetooth codecs, and proper EQ on the Sony's and some will tell u the Sony's actually sound better ( I actually tested this through friends). To me the Senn's have a little wider soundstage, and a bit deeper bass, but the Sony's definitely sound richer. I haven't let the Senn's burn all the way in, but I am returning them, gotta get that $400 back! Read all the comments u want, these headphones are way to close to call. If u already have the Sony's, don't waste your money on the Senn's, if u have the M3's, look no further. Btw, I also own several "wired" pair of headphones that actually destroy these good sounding headphones, like the AuidioTechnica PRO700MK2, Sennheiser HDJ8, and Sony's own MDR1AM2. All with portable headphone amp and dac of course.
