The Sony has a Cool Extra Feature that was not mentioned, the Speak to Chat feature will pause the music and turn on transparency mode when it detects that you are speaking. Useful when you have to interact with the world while out and about, something I wish the Max has without having to reach for the Crown AND Transparency button in two steps.

when just using the noise cancelation features on its own, no music playing, how much could you hear and understand with both? i’m not so much looking for really great headphones for listening to music as i am sound reduction as i have AWFUL migraines that leads to being incredibly sensitive to sound. i bought a cheaper pair and it only truly blocked out things like the AC running, and airpods pro don’t reduce as much as I’d want, though that may be impacted by a piercing i have. it’s been hard to find reviews that mention the pure silencing factor without sound playing for everyday sounds and especially people talking and how close to silent it gets in a loud room, but also in just a normal volume room

I've never been an 'over the ear' headphone person. but I bought the original Surface Headphones, and they've been fantastic. The dynamic noise cancellation (and ambient noise amplification (when desired)) are great for my work-from-home use and music alike. the touch-controls are really convenience to not hunt for buttons you can't see. the price was practical. would recommend them to anyone (Microsoft eco system or not).

Didn't even talk about the dial on the surface headphones in the cool extra features section. Didn't talk about any of the touch controls or automatic stopping when you talk on the sony's. Didn't mention anything about codecs. I think the special features section was definitely lacking because that is where these headphones really differ. And you didn't at all mention mic quality which is huge as well. The Sonys don't have great microphones and have problems pairing with PCs. Your info on the headphones was very apple heavy. I get it they are your favourites but yeaaah not that helpful for someone whos looking for a different use case to yours and potentially doesn't have as much money as you. If you are with apple and have money then go for the airpods max obvs If you just want to listen to high-quality audio go with ony. if you want the all-around best headphones for calls and pairing with windows devices then go with the surface headphones.

After long deciding process, I decided to get a pair of Bose 700, I already use for years Beyerdynamic 770 and 990s and I must say these are really nice and clear and I could make a mix with them. I dont need boomy bass and other artificial things, I need neutral and clear and yes Bose has it. I can pair them with two devices at the same time, they have included cable, are super light and have extreme noise cancellation abilities. The microphone for calls in noisy environment no of the others can reach :-)

I think you have to subscribe to a compatible service though - you get 3 months for free (Deezer and 2 other ones that I don't remember the name now), in Japan - I don't know if it's the same in other countries.

I have both the xm4 and the airpod max. My only apple device is just an Ipad......trust me the Airpod max is worth it, you get spatial audio(cinema liked audio) which is insanely good on netflix, you get transparency mode which sounds so natural that no other headphone could simulate that, you get far superior "clean and crisp" sound than the xm4 no matter how you EQ the settings in the xm4, you can hear so much details in the instrument that you can't hear in the xm4, you get a really "premium" comfort and build quality and magnetic replaceable earpads. For the xm4, i love to bring them around attached to my neck and they are my on-the-go headphones. They are both really good headphones, but now I would want to sell away my xm4 because I have the intention using the APM as my full time daily driver.

You know the thing about forgetting that you are wearing the Bose QC 35's actually happens to me with the 700's too. In fact, with the 700's I often don't even think about it. With their 20 hour battery life and the great comfort I can simply put them on in each morning when I wake up, wear them all day, then put them on the charger when I go to bed. All with no risk of running out of battery or or my ears beginning to hurt. Also dispite my 700's being more than a year old and are regularly charged overnight (which tends to lead to over charging) the battery life has not been noticeably depleted and still lasts all day even now. Edit: By the way, this comment isn't meant to dispute your verdict. I simply want to give people a basis on which to judge the other headphones

I do wear them for 5 hours a day tho & would definitely buy them again, but I should go see a chiropractor for my neck.

It took me awhile to accept the fact that I spent more than $500 on headphones but the sound quality, transparency mode, and easy connectivity between Apple devices made up for it, for me at least. I won’t recommend them to anyone unless you can afford the splurge. I also use them mainly for work purposes so I guess they’re somewhat of an investment too lol

I agree about the one issue with the AirPod Max (APM) sound quality being the bass, at least for my ears, but I’m not sure I’d simply say that the Sony is better there. To my ears the APM have some real strong points in the bass, it goes deeper than the Sony and it is clearer and better controlled than the Sony so those are both areas where I would say the APM bass is better than the Sony. My disappointment with the APM bass though, which is why I understand people giving the win to the Sony for bass, is that the APM bass seems to lack some punch and energy especially in the region around where you typically find the kick drum. If only the APM not only had the depth and control of the bass but also had the dynamic punchy nature of the XM4 in the bass frequencies that would be close to perfection for my preferred sound signature.

I haven't even watched the video yet but let me recommend against bose. The sound delay is terrible. The Bose app for the phone caused my Bose headset to start to desync severely and create noise crackle. The sound canceling function fails whenever it deals with soft ambient noise and even amplifies some sounds because of how it's desynchronized or over-responsive. I got the nicest wireless headset bows offers too. I forget which model though.

My Barsone headphones were $40, and they don't exist on Amazon anymore. They are light, and the noise canceling is helpful (not all the best, but it works for me.) I've had them for at least 2.5 years, and they haven't failed me, the battery life is good, but I sometimes forget to turn off the ANC; other than that, it lasts me over a week until I need to charge again. One of the ear cups is ripped, but I don't feel the inside of the ear cups while wearing it. If I wanted new ones, I would get them again if they were still available. Otherwise, I would still look around for some better ones. My price range was $20-$50 when purchasing these, just for context.

Look into the Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds are also something to look into! theyre about $280 and are up there, no issues about them for everyday wear and working out. But I recommend Airpod Maxs for working in the same spot for hours.

The airpod max are ridiculously over priced headphone for what they offer. As well as the ridiculous case that you must have in order to turn the headphone off. The sony's are the best for something like that.

I'm starting to think I'm the only one who isn't a fan of noise cancelling. Its ok if I am sat in a safe space of a coffee shop, library etc, but when I am on the move I still want to be somewhat aware of my surroundings with traffic noise, and more importantly the noises people make when they are behind you. As I say I may be the only one but I do find it's the lowest thing on my list. Comfort however, I totally agree, that is at the top if my list especially with my weirdly large head!

Dude. You use apple products. The Apple integration alone meant that they were always going to be the ones you picked. You almost don't have a choice. The sound comfort and everything else is secondary to convenience. That's just the way the consumer is inclined these days.

What a fool to think he had a "choice". The fact that the XM4s are in second place proves that he is dependent of the Apple eco system (which is intended from Apple) instead of going for common sense.

Spot on with the Apple ecosystem factor. If your not already a heavy mac user (watch, tablets, laptops), your wasting your money. Personally, I like the Bose 700s but I am grabbing the Airpod Pro max now that they are cheaper. Recent firmware updates should make the call and sound quality more crisp. A little excited to get them.
